PUMA Disc “Crackle” Pack – Once you acknowledge that Disc technology is nothing more than a novelty, you can appreciate the shape and silhouette of this PUMA runner. The uppers are comprised of soft nubuck and leather, and these premium materials lead up to the large plastic Disc system in the center. The contrasting midsole is where the crackle comes in, and there is just enough to give the running shoes its distinct look. The “Crackle” pack will be made up of three colors, and each pair is set to retail at $190.

Bragi Dash – Over a year ago Bragi promised a set of wireless headphones that had fitness tracking built in. Within a few weeks, the Kickstarter campaign raised over 3 million and the project was underway. Even with the funding reached, many naysayers argued that the Dash was overly ambitious, but this year at CES, they proved everyone wrong. The Dash is ready to ship in February and besides the music and fitness tracking the Dash also offers personal training. It can sense your heart rate and offer some motivating advice, and beyond these “next-level” features, Bragi plans to release an API so that third-party developers can begin creating for the Dash.

The Superior Labor NATO Strap – I’ve always known NATO and ZULU straps to be made from nylon. Their simple design has made them a staple for military spec watches. The Superior Labor takes the classic design of the NATO and uses vegetable tanned leather instead of the traditional textile. The result is a beefier and thicker strap with matching brass buckles and hardware. I like NATO because nylon is easy to strap on, and fairly minimal, and leather isn’t either of these things. However, if you appreciate beefy straps, The Superior Labor NATO is available in natural, tan, black, and brown.
