This Vaunted Canadian Brand May Have Made the Perfect Boot

Viberg’s Navvy is a round-toe derby-style ankle boot built on the brand’s 1940 last, which is based on the US Navy last used during WWII for a comfortable anatomical fit. It also uses a Split Welt, defined by a strip of leather stitched to the upper and the midsole, which creates a more water-resistant seal than a standard Goodyear Welt. The Tobacco Calf Suede is a perfect color for all-year wear and will only improve with age as it patinas.

The brand best known for Swiss Army Knives brings its knack for streamlined design to its latest versatile carry collection aimed at young professionals, which runs the gamut from belt and sling bags to backpacks and wheeled duffels. Ranging in price from $70 to $285, the collection consists of 10 styles in black and navy blue made of recycled polyester with antimicrobial Silvadur linings. Everything is sized to be carryon compliant, the backpacks and daypacks feature removable laptop sleeves, lockable zippers and key fobs, and all items get smart organizational pockets plus reflective accents for increased visibility.

Armin Strom’s Orbit was already arguably the coolest way to display the date on a watch, and now the watch is even more of a conversation piece thanks to the addition of this Lime Green dial. The watch’s date mechanism is exclusive to the brand and uses a pusher at 10:00 to activate a column wheel, which triggers a center-mounted hand to point to the current date on the ceramic bezel. Another press of the pusher sends the hand back to its resting spot at 12:00, similar to a chronograph hand, meaning the watch only shows the date when you want it to. Necessary? No. Cool? You bet. The watch, which also comes in an equally striking Ice Blue variant, retails for CHF 36,000 (~$45,000).

The StackPack is a trio of acoustic panels (called Sound Blocks), two designed for high-frequency diffusion and one for low-frequency absorption, stacked on top of each other and configured in a tower formation. Like other foam panels, the StackPack is meant to help absorb unwanted acoustic reflections, ensuring your room and hi-fi or home theater system sound their best. What’s unique is that the top two Sound Blocks have wooden accent plates — available in three styles, Beech Noir, White Hot and Dusky Fawn — so that they look nice and better blend into your room’s decor. The StackPack can be free-standing or wall-mounted, and, as part of a modular system, it affords you the flexibility to configure or expand the system as needed.

TASCHEN’s America’s Cup, developed in collaboration with Louis Vuitton and designed by Marc Newson, offers a comprehensive visual history of sailing’s most iconic competition. Spanning over 170 years of competition, the book combines archival imagery, technical schematics, and first-hand accounts to document the evolution of yacht design, racing tactics, and team rivalries. It’s available in three editions, two of which qualify as some of the most luxurious coffee table releases in recent memory. The Collector’s edition is limited to 824 printings and features a case design by Newson made from cotton sailcloth and a custom-made Louis Vuitton closure. The ultimate signed Marc Newson Art Edition is limited to 175 printings and adds a numbered carbon fiber bookstand designed by Newson. While pre-orders are available now, the book will officially ship this September.

If you’re familiar with the brand Keen, it’s probably because of their outdoor-ready sandals. The brand has been a leader in the open-toe adventure footwear for years. But now, the brand is taking a leap into an entirely new category: trail runners. Their first foray, the Seek, is exceptionally competent, marked by a grippy all-terrain outsole, impact-resistant midsole foam, and a breathable anti-odor upper. And they also look pretty great, all things considered.
