Jaybird Freedom – For all you meat heads out there, you know that the best Bluetooth headphones aren’t from Beats, but from Jaybird. This little brand continues to churn out high performance wireless earbuds and the Freedom is the latest extension of their hard work. The new Freedom is about 20% slimmer than its predecessor, Freedom 2, and will use metal injection molding instead of plastic. With a more premium feel, the Freedom’s metal body will also allow Jaybird to place all three control buttons on headphones. The only drawback is that the Freedom has a dismal 4-hour battery life, but Jaybird looks to circumvent that by giving the Freedom its own portable charging pack. The latest Jaybird Freedom is set to release soon and will retail at $199.

Supreme x Vans Spring/Summer 2016 – It’s easy to write off the latest pair of collaborative skate shoes between Vans and Supreme. It’s just a puffy iridescent stripe over a pair of Sk-8 Lows, right? You’re right, and probably born after the ’90s because it’s more than just a shiny piece of plastic. Anyone from the early days of the rave scene knows that reflective puffy material all too well. With Supreme continuing to use the ’90s as inspiration, rave culture seems to fit perfectly into their spectrum of aesthetics. Look for four colors in total with the collection dropping tomorrow, May 26.
