LENKR V1 Wooden Bike Handlebar – While everyone is looking for the latest carbon fiber or metal alloy for their bike, Lenkr goes old school. Like, really old school because their handlebar is made from wood – premium walnut varnished and coated for water resistance, to be exact. The natural wood is surprisingly light at 285 grams, and can give that futuristic bike of yours an outdoorsy twist. Another great aspect to consider is that the Lenkr V1 will age beautifully with a nice patina over time.

Victor Athletics – Before globalization, nearly all of our clothes were made right here in the states. Now we have hoodies from Bangladesh or sneakers from Vietnam, but Victor Athletics sees things differently. Based out of Cincinnati, this small brand is bringing textile work to a small factory in Tennessee. Using tried-and-true American manufacturing techniques, the small collection of pocket tees, hoodies, crew-necks, and sweatpants are all made in the US with premium organic cotton. In addition to giving jobs to Americans, Victor Athletics contributes 5% of their proceeds directly to their factories.

adidas Super Tech 3.0 – Those that are into running shoes have a lot of options to choose from. It’s no longer the latest Air Max that garners attention there is also a bevy of adidas sneakers to choose from. The latest is the Super Tech and it arrives with seam-welded uppers, and a sleek silhouette. The “Tribal Yellow” colorway is straight nasty with the bright yellow uppers matched against the pattern printed collar. The white midsoles tame it just a bit, but there’s no doubt these are a head turner.

Hyperkin Smart Boy – Ah, nostalgia. As an underprivileged kid growing up, the Nintendo Game Boy was the only video game console my dad bought me. The first born hand-held gaming device that stunted on so many of its descendants, this guy nestles a place in my memories. The Smart Boy is a supposed add-on to your iPhone 6 that transforms the device into the beloved Game Boy. Testing the market with a half “April Fool’s” joke, the folks at Hyperkin started development on the Smart Boy thanks to the overwhelming response to its leak. Will definitely keep you posted on this one.
