The Legends x Bag43 – Small independent brands are rad, and here’s a little project between The Legends and San Francisco-based artist, Bags43. The collaboration keeps it low-key and simple with two new strapbacks that feature vintage inspired patches that are embroidered across the crown. The design is courtesy of Bag43, and both the patches and the snapbacks are made right here in the USA. Look for both snapbacks to be available for purchase exclusively through The Legends online shop.

From the placket pocket on the short sleeve button-down to the slight crop on the work pants Saturday has put in work to give their clothes a subtle signature detail.

adidas Ultra Boost All White – White shoes are hit or miss with me. Most look awkward and contrived, with some looking real slick. The new adidas Ultra Boost falls in the latter, and are perfect for the summer. The popular silhouette is unchanged and comes with a one-piece white Primeknit upper that is breathable and lightweight, while the TORSION SYSTEM provides the cushioning and support. All of these recent adidas technologies sit on the comfortable all-white Ultra Boost sole.

Endless PC – A computer or tablet for under $200 is pretty easy to find in the US. As the highest consuming nation in the world we have the reap in some sweet benefits from the sheer number of competitors. Other parts of the world are not so fortunate and Endless is a PC that cost a mere $169. This small price tag may not seem like such a big deal for us, but countries like India and Pakistan it’s the key to the internet and a whole lot more. Instead of requiring a computer monitor the Endless is designed to work with televisions, and another nice feature is that it can save webpages for users to work offline. This is exceptionally useful in developing nations where internet connection is often very spotty. For most Americans these features are a mere afterthought, but if your living deep in the mountains that offline feature can come in real handy.

Zackees Turn Signal Gloves – If you need any additional indication that you’re a bike geek, then check out these cycling gloves with built in turn signals. Zackees is looking to make you the butt of more jokes with a pair of textile and leather gloves that come with a flurry of bright LED lights. The gloves have contact points on the thumb and index, and when they touch it activates a flashing arrow across your glove. These things will probably save someone’s life, but it’s still one of the nerdiest things on the internet.
