2026 Porsche 911 4S AWD
It looks like 2026 is gonna be a big year for Porsche fans who like adventure, as the brand has expanded the 911 series to include three new AWD models: the 911 Carrera 4S coupe, Cabriolet 4S and Targa 4S. Along with the increased capabilities, the cars get more power in the form of a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder boxer engine that produces 473 horsepower — up by 30 horsepower from previous models. They also all get upgraded interiors with extended leather upholstery as standard.

Marshall Middleton II
The Marshall Middleton II is an updated version of its 2023-released Middleton, and the company is calling it its most powerful portable speaker to date. It has a near-identical compact design to its predecessor, but the second-gen speaker boasts a longer-lasting battery (now rated at over 30 hours) and better and more immersive audio. It also has a built-in microphone to give it speakerphone functionality. Other features include a durable IP67-rated body and USB-C power output, so you can use it to charge your smartphone. It’s available in two colors: cream or black.

Clot x Adidas Stan Smith Espadrilles
The ultimate neutral sneakers meet the essential summer vacation shoes in the Stan Smith Espadrilles, part of the Clot Country Club capsule collaboration with Adidas. The well-known white leather upper is sewn to a jute midsole with a rubber outsole. A black suede version has a fuzzy green heel patch and a solid black rubber sole.

Selle Italia SLR 3D Carbon
For 26 years, the SLR’s sleek, minimalist design has delivered lightness, performance and style for serious cyclists. The fourth generation takes things to the next level, with three streamlined variations headlined by the lightest 3D printed saddle money can buy. At just 137g (~4.8 oz.) for the S3 size, the SLR 3D Carbon weighs 29g (roughly an ounce) less than the SLR Boost 3D Kit Carbonio but still manages to offer differentiated cushioning zones for progressive shock absorption plus strong yet comfortable carbon rails.

Richard Mille RM 30-01
Richard Mille’s longstanding partnership with the RM 30-01. From afar, the watch follows the form factor of other Richard Mille timepieces but a closer look reveals the modified Calibre RMAR2 movement with a track-shaped power reserve indicator. Also, the 24-hour counter has a green marker at 16, the traditional starting time of the iconic race.
