Premier x Saucony – One of the breakout hits of last year was Saucony, and leading the pack was their versatile Grid 9000. The functional silhouette of this ’80s classic will be re-worked by sneaker boutique Premier. Inspired by the sweet taffy and the old-school confectionery, this latest project boasts soft suede in light blue, orange cream, soft grey, and a milky white. The Premier “P” logo is proudly displayed on the tongue to finish the collaborative look. Expect this special edition to drop this Saturday, May 7.

The first print comes in a bold purple and green with black base, while the second is more subdued with a light blue base overlaid with pink and green blossoms. The collaborative project drops in store and online this Thursday, May 5.

Leica M-D Type 262 – Most would be surprised to see a camera with out a LCD screen, but that’s exactly the direction Leica is going with their new M-D Type 262 camera. Leica’s clout in the photography world means they can do as they please and while the new M-D looks nearly identical to the Leica M body, the one thing noticeably missing is a screen. The camera is a throwback to another time and access is given to only the shutter speed and ISO. While the new M-D does have its share of shortcomings to the modern-day photographer, many purists will look forward to the simplicity and the massive 24 megapixel sensor.

visvim Ballistic Prime 20L – It’s hard to fathom paying anything over $50 for a backpack when the canvas JanSport is still going hard, but visvim can make quite a compelling argument. The new Ballistic Prime is part of the 20 liter series and arrives in bright blue, comprised of heavy-duty ballistic nylon. The backpack also includes a special neoprene-lined compression chamber for a laptop up to 15″. There is also a small pocket for an audio player along with a port for headphones. But, the crowning achievement of any visvim bag is how effortlessly they can meld premium Swedish vegetable-tanned cow suede into a utilitarian daypack.
