2026 Ram 2500 Warlock
While the Warlock nomenclature dates back to the ’70s, this adventure-ready edition — one of two new 2500 treatments alongside the Black Express — marks the nameplate’s debut in Ram’s Heavy Duty lineup. Derived from the 2500 Tradesman, the Warlock boasts four-wheel drive and a 405-hp Hemi 6.4-liter V-8 standard, plus a lifted stance, 20-inch diamond-cut wheels wrapped in 34-inch Goodyear Duratrac A/T tires and Bilstein shocks tuned for on- and off-road use. The blacked-out bumpers, fender flares and grille add to its striking appearance while cloth upholstery and bench seats nod to its rugged capabilities. The only available configuration is the crew cab with the shorter cargo bed, and the starting price is $57,165.

New Balance 475 Dark Alpine Green
New Balance fans may notice that the 475 resembles both the iconic 574 and the retired fan-favorite 1400. Indeed, it is somewhat of a hybrid between the two dependable daily-wear sneakers. While the Dark Alpine Green is not a Made in USA model, it shares similar chops with a layered suede over nylon upper. The tongue is nylon with white piping, and the outsole has heavy tire-like traction.

Topologie Backpack Vest
Combining the tenets of EDC and fashion into one unified garment isn’t easy, but Topologie has managed it with the Backpack Vest. It wears like a vest, boasting lightweight fabric and a zipper closure, but it has the utility of a backpack, courtesy of its water-resistant fabric and multiple storage pockets (front and back). It even has an integrated quick-release keyring and daisy chain webbing to expand its utility and carry capacity. For speedy commuters, this innovative apparel is unmatched.

Hoka Speedgoat 6 Studio Proba
Hoka teamed up with Portland-based creative Alex Proba for a one-off rendition of the Speedgoat 6, the brand’s flagship trail shoe for quick, technical pursuits. Proba outfitted the shoe in a dramatic multicolored pattern that includes a speckled midsole.

GoPro Hero 13 Black (Forest Green)
GoPro has introduced a forest green version of its flagship action camera, the Hero 13 Black, which had previously only been available in black (although it did introduce a limited-edition “polar white” version in March 2025). Aside from the new finish, it’s the same Hero 13 Black as before. It has the same 8:7 sensor as its predecessor, the GoPro Hero 12 Black, but has been upgraded with new magnetic mounting and charging capabilities, three new interchangeable lenses and a longer-lasting battery. The forest green model costs $430, the same price as the standard black model.
