Today in Gear: Start Your Week Here

Meta will launch a web version of the Threads app early this week. The company expects that a desktop version will help the app compete with X, though membership and usage has fluctuated since the app’s launch. Last month, Threads registered over 100 million users in five days. However, over the next month, time spent on the platform fell by 85 percent. Now, Meta’s Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri confirms that the company has been using an early version of the web app for at least ‘a week or two,’ adding that it ‘still needs some work before we can open it up to everyone though.’

Today we’re taking a look at new releases from Demon, WE Knife Co. and CW&T. This is Today in Gear.

Demon is Back, With a Vengeance

Slam Jam

Initially founded in 1963, Demon was relaunched, and revived, in 2020 by SlamJam. Now, it’s back with new boots that seem to position the brand somewhere between ROA and MSCHF. For example, while the eclectic Poyana boots are just waiting to be meme-ified, the Vipara Boots ($417) are sleek, futuristic, and somehow of the same blood as ROA’s latest loafers and boots. Finished with an extra-light Vibram rubber outsole and added waterproofing, these technical shoes are built to impress.

WE Knife Co. Set to Drop the Nexusia

WEKNIFE

This new limited edition knife will boast a 3.48-inch drop point blade made of CPM-20CV super steel. Its all-titanium handle was designed with a finger groove, guard and wide crescent chamfers down the length of its main section. Down the line, the brand plans to release a Damasteel version, as well as a third model with a black-coated blade. For now, the first Nexusia ($378) will drop in a limited run of 155 pieces. Fans can sign up to be notified when the knife goes on sale, at the link below.

The Perfect Running Singlet

Bandit Running

Bandit’s Airware Performance Singlet ($98) is made with premium fine Italian mesh ‘Airware’ fabric. It’s decidedly featherweight and thanks to a bonded neckline, sleek side seams and side slits; you’ll never have to worry about chafing. A reflective graphic dots the center front, front hem and center back. Available in three core and two limited edition colorways, you’ll want to bring home every version of this gorgeous piece.

An Eye-Catching Pen for Every Gearhead

CW&T

CW&T is a two-person design practice run by Che-Wei Wang and Taylor Levy. Already revered for a wide range of strange, inventive releases; the brand just dropped a new version of one of its most popular products: the Pen Type-C ($60 – $80). Described as a ‘flat, durable bookmark pen,’ the device is designed to be clipped on — or tucked into — a notebook. Available now in 13 colorways, including three sleek titanium versions, this pen is truly EDC-worthy.

Buck Mason Just Dropped Twill Jeans

Buck Mason

Ready to swap your usual denim for a slightly lighter material? Meet Buck Mason’s Roper Twill Jeans ($138). Made from a sturdy yarn-dyed cotton/rayon twill, these mid-rise, five-pocket jeans are designed to taper right below your knee. The resulting silhouette falls straight through the hip and comfortably snug around your calves for a relaxed, lived-in fit. Available now in three colors, these are the late summer pants you’ve been looking for.
