This Strange Yet Stunning Watch Takes Titanium to a Whole Other Level
Both the case and dial of Mingโs latest watch are machined from the hardwearing material. Meanwhile, Adidas updates a fan-favorite runner and Snow Peak drops a new insulated layer.
Ming took the hard route by making the case and dial of the 37.02 Ghost from pure titanium (grade 2), rather than the grade 5 alloy used in almost all modern titanium watches. It is far more difficult to machine but results in a richer, warmer texture that cannot be duplicated otherwise. It is also nigh indestructible and incredibly lightweight, resulting in 100-meter water resistance and a weight of 38 grams. The Ghost runs on an automatic movement specially built for Ming by Sellita with an anthracite skeletonized bridge and customized rotor.
Adidas revamps its fan-favorite tempo shoe with the brandโs best foam compound. The Boston 13 boasts 13.8 percent more Lightstrike Pro than its predecessor, and it also features additional padding on the tongue and collar for enhanced comfort on longer workouts. Whatโs more, it borrows the same outsole found on the Adizero Adios Pro 4 for traction without the weight. In an ode to the Boston Marathon, from which it derives its name, the launch colorway is inspired by the gear Adidas used to manufacture for race staff in the 1990s. Available from May 6.
EcoFlowโs Wave 3 and Glacier Classic are next-gen versions of its portable AC and heating and portable refrigerator and freezer units, respectively. The Wave 3 is more powerful than the Wave 2, capable of cooling and heating larger RVs and tents. While the Glacier Classic no longer has the built-in ice maker that was in the previous Glacier, but promises more internal storage while still taking up the same amount of space โ it comes in 35L, 45L and 55L sizes.
The renowned Japanese outdoor living brand would probably never name it so, but this de facto shacket has the makings of a campground classic. Constructed of largely recycled polyester and available in four colors and seven sizes, the versatile unisex garment can function as lightweight outerwear or a mid-layer. In addition to hand pockets, the shirt also offers a chest envelope pocket with a hidden zip pouch. A PFC-free DWR treatment adds a bit of water resistance too.
Todd Snyder teamed up with New Balance to create an elevated rendition of the iconic 574. It utilized the contrasting textures of hairy and smooth suedes in a uniform creamy color called Shiro or a gray with white detailing called Gure. Both names are the Japanese words for white and gray, respectively. The outsole and ENCAP heel cup on each are an earthy gum color that anchors the famous silhouette. Exclusive to the New York retailer, this quintessential โdad shoeโ has never looked classier.
