China Is Getting the Off-Road SUV America Desperately Needs

At launch, Ford’s Bronco New Energy is exclusive to the Chinese market. Unlike the Broncos found here in the States, the model is available with both all-electric and hybrid drivetrains. The EV features a 105-kWh battery that’s claimed to provide around 400 miles of range on a single charge. Assuming that’s not enough for you, however, the EREV (extended range electric vehicle) incorporates a 44-kWh battery alongside a small internal combustion engine — taken together it’s said to offer as much as 800 miles of driving.

Nintendo’s latest console, the Switch 2, might have its first smash hit in Donkey Kong Bananza. Unlike the console’s launch title, Mario Kart World, this one has been released to rave reviews, with journalists and fans alike citing its exceptional combination of fun and originality — the two biggest value propositions Nintendo has to offer, especially when compared to the tech dominance of Sony and Microsoft. This could be the biggest release for the gaming brand since Breath of the Wild, and it might just usher in a new golden era of Nintendo games.

Swiss independent brand Louis Erard has teamed up with Dubai-based jeweler Ahmed Seddiqi for this special version of the former’s La Petite Seconde dress watch that honors the latter’s 75th anniversary. The watch combines the model’s standard Art Deco design with Dubai’s more contemporary landscape to create a unique design language the brand has dubbed “Neo-Deco.” The copper dial features an attractive mix of finishes, making it quite dynamic, and the usual Arabic indices have been swapped for Hindi ones (Dubai has a large South Asian ex-pat population who speak Hindi). Most notably, the hour and minute hands have been shaped to resemble Dubai’s famous Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Limited to 75 pieces, the watch retails for AED 11,900 (~$3,240).

The venerated Swedish outdoor apparel brand says that thanks largely to Italian-milled Tecnopile grid fleece, this hoodie hits “that elusive sweet spot between insulation and ventilation,” essentially splitting the difference between a base layer and a mid-layer. Outfitted with thumb loops, laser-cut cuffs and a generous Napoleon pocket, it should be perfect for activities like trail running and hiking, not to mention chilly evenings/early mornings around camp. Low-profile enough to fit under a helmet and a shell, it can also tackle backcountry skiing/splitboarding expeditions come winter.

Todd Snyder has made plenty of loafers in collaboration with other brands, but this is the first in-house pair. It displays the American designer’s impeccable attention to detail with features like a full rubber outsole, a wood stack heel, and “beef-roll” stitching on the strap. It’s handmade in Italy from a creamy suede inspired by Alden’s coveted Milkshake suede, along with a chocolate brown suede with a black sole.

Anker’s Nano Charging Station plugs into the wall and is capable of distributing 100 watts of power, allowing it to charge four devices simultaneously. It features USB-C and USB-A ports on its side, as well as three AC outlets on the back. However, the most notable feature is its two retractable USB-C cables, which can extend up to 2.3 feet in length. It also features a 1.3-inch LCD display that displays charging information and indicates which ports/outlets are in use.
