An S2 tool-steel driver bit handles quick fixes, while a folding 9Cr18MoV steel blade takes care of cutting duties. At just 1.83 ounces, the MK puts light, cutting, and repair tools into a pocket-ready companion that's prepared for whatever the day throws at it.

Not every sneaker has to chase the next big innovation. Sometimes the right choice is the one you reach for every morning. Nike's V5 RNR leans into the layered aesthetics of early-2000s running shoes while prioritizing everyday comfort over race-day performance. This suede edition pairs the smooth suede with breathable mesh for a layered retro-runner look, accented by metallic details and a signature 3D Swoosh. Underfoot, a chunky yet lightweight foam midsole and plush collar cushioning keep long days comfortable, while a rubber outsole with '00s-inspired grooves provides dependable traction. Designed for daily wear, the V5 RNR Suede brings a more refined finish to the Y2K runner while keeping its place firmly in the everyday rotation.
