World-First 1080 Vert
It finally happened. 20 years after Tony Hawk made history by landing the first 900 at the 1999 X-Games, 11-year-old Brazilian Gui Khury landed a 1080 on a normal vert — no mega ramp, no lead-in. The torch has been passed.

Roborock Q5 Robot Vacuum
Robot vacuums were developed with convenience in mind, but emptying bins filled with dust, dirt, and allergens is actually the opposite. Roborock Q5 keeps owner's hands clean by offering a truly automated experience. The Q5 takes the features from previous models, like LiDAR navigation, multi-level mapping, enhanced suction, and customizable app controls, then minimizes human intervention even further with self-emptying capabilities. An auto-empty dock removes the dust and dirt from the bin itself, allowing the device to work independently for over a month.

Oliver Cabell Low 1 Sneakers
Sneakers don't have to sport garish colors to make a statement. Made by hand in Marche, Italy, Oliver Cabell's Low 1 takes an unassuming silhouette and transforms it into a high-end affair. The uppers and counters are crafted using 3oz, locally-sourced full-grain calfskin leather, supported by lightweight Margom Italian rubber outsoles. Italian calf-skin is used to line both the interior and the footbed, the latter of which also has a removable molded insole. Finished with Italian cotton laces, they're a timeless statement for discerning sneaker fans.

Although the jacket is unlined, the heavy cotton fabric is warm enough to see you through cold winter days.
