The Gear Patrol team is buzzing about Birkenstock’s latest release, the Mogami Terra, a sandal made for enjoying the outdoors. The water-friendly shoe competes with your Tevas or Chacos and is available in men’s and women’s sizes. In other Birkenstock news, the shoe brand also just released a special-edition Boston Clog with the fashion house Staud. Guess we’re adding some Birkenstocks to our cart this week …
Today we’re featuring a stylish new hiking shoe, a hoodie inspired by Mars and fish tins bursting with flavor. This is Today in Gear.
VEJAA Stylish Hiking Shoe Collab
In case you missed it: Check out the Fitz Roy hiking shoe ($280) — which seems to be more of a hiking sneaker — reimagined by VEJA and Étude. The style incorporates both brand’s initials and gray mineral tones with a splash of blue, an ode to the Vercors Masssif range in France. Technical features include a water-repellent fabric and a rock plate on the sole. Available in men’s and women’s sizes.
WindmillA Smaller and Quieter Fan for Summer
Just launched: The summer heat isn’t here quite yet, but you don’t want to wait until the dog days to invest in a personal fan. The Windmill Air Circulator & Fan ($79) has three fan settings and two air circulation settings. Its compact design and quiet motor make it perfect for your desk or bedroom — you can even control the fan with a smartphone app. Choose from five colorways: butter, white, marine, pink and black.
Fishwife Tinned Seafood CoNew Sweet and Spicy Tins
Fun and fresh: Fishwife and Fly By Jing release a limited-edition smoked salmon tin today with sweet and spicy Zhong sauce ($39 for three pack) to celebrate the third-year anniversary of their collaboration — the current Fly By Jing smoked salmon with Sichuan chili crisp is a best seller. The new flavor promises to be a hit with its versatility and umami-rich flavor; the brands recommend pairing the tin with everything from dumplings to hummus.
