Lady White Co. T-Shirt – I love my Kirkland tees from Costco, but those that appreciate the finer things can check out the shirts from Lady White Co.. These T-shirt purveyors are from California, and source their cotton from the farms up north. The material is then shipped to southern California where they are cut and hand-constructed. It’s quite a process, but the result is a beautiful tee that has been pre-rinsed, and comes with a double-stitched narrow collar.

DxO One Camera – It’s not the first camera to use your smartphone as a viewfinder, but DxO has a novel approach to creating a world-class pocketable camera. Using the same 20.2 sensor found in the best-selling Sony RX100 Mark III the tiny camera has a six-element lens, a maximum aperture of f/1.8 and an adjustable iris for more creative control. The pivot mount lets your take multiple angles, and by relying on your smartphone’s screen as the viewfinder the camera can easily fit into the palm of your hand.

Nike Hyperdunk 2015 – The Hyperdunk is one of the more consistent sneakers in Nike’s full-court line-up. The team basketball sneaker has a long history of being solid, and for 2015 the Hyperdunk returns with a cleaner aesthetic and packed with a world of technology. For starters the uppers use a one-piece consturction that fuses Hyperfuse with a flexible foam collar and an internal bootie. The cushioning is provided by an oversized Phylon heel that is meant to help with stability with Zoom Air across the midsole. All this innovation means an elite performance sneaker that will be available in a gamut of colorways.
