Adidas Made a Marathon Shoe That Weighs Less Than an Apple

Pick up an apple from your kitchen counter. Now imagine a pair of running shoes weighing less than that single piece of fruit. That’s the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3, and it’s not a concept shoe or a lab curiosity. It just debuted at the 2026 London Marathon, worn by Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha, who became...

You Can Play Pokémon Gold on Your Wrist, Thanks to a 2-Year Build

Retro gaming handhelds have had a genuine second life in recent years. Original Nintendo hardware has been cloned, shrunken, and reimagined into increasingly unhinged form factors by modders who see the Game Boy lineup as the most suitable canvas for this kind of project. The builds have become their own subculture,...

Leave It to a Jewelry House to Make the Most Beautiful Candle

When Cadar showed up at Salone del Mobile this April, it did not bring jewelry. It brought candles. And not the kind you grab in a gift shop because they smell nice. These are hand-blown Murano glass spheres in colors so saturated and glossy they look less like home objects and more like something you might find in a...

5 Brilliant Mother’s Day Gifts From Sons Who Know Better Than to Bring Flowers Again

Sometimes sons have to learn, usually the hard way, that flowers are a placeholder. They wilt. They sit in a vase she’ll move twice and quietly toss out by Thursday. What your mom actually wants is something she’d never buy for herself — something with real thought behind it, personality baked in, and a story...

This Modular Teak and Aluminum Box Has a Lid That Folds Into a Table

The line between outdoor gear and everyday carry has never been blurrier. More people are treating their camping setups with the same discernment they’d bring to a wardrobe or a home office, hunting for things that work hard but also look intentional. The market has responded, and the range of portable gear sitting...

What If Your Drink Could Fly Itself Across the Room to You

Smart home technology has reshaped how we think about convenience, but most of it still assumes you’re the one who has to reach for things. Appliances respond to voice commands, lights adjust to your mood, and thermostats learn your schedule. Yet the objects we grab dozens of times a day, from a glass of water to the...

G-Shock Just Dropped a Coca-Cola Watch for Its 140th Anniversary

There are some things that you know are fundamentally bad for you, but you can’t resist consuming them. Coke (the soft drink) is one such commodity, and especially during the summer season, it has become more of a necessity than an indulgence. The brand itself has been around for 140 years and has built itself into...

This Wine Cooler Scans the Label and Sets Its Own Temperature for You

Wine culture has never been more accessible, with good bottles showing up at rooftop dinners, backyard gatherings, and weekend trips just as often as they do at restaurant tables. What hasn’t quite kept up, though, is how we actually serve them once we’re there. Temperature is the detail that most people overlook,...

This Wireless Gaming Controller Splits Apart To Reveal Its Cartridge Slot

Imagine a Nintendo Switch without a screen. Just two Joy-Cons that click together for wireless gaming. Now imagine that was it. That was the product. That’s what the Clicon gaming controller/console is pitching itself has. Handheld wireless gaming with anything you want as the screen. Split the controller apart and a...

The Bike Saddle 3D-Printed and Hand-Stitched in France

Most conversations about technology and craft follow the same script. Technology is fast, scalable, cold. Craft is slow, precious, warm. The two might share a showroom floor or a mood board, but they rarely share a philosophy. Mahdi Naïm’s AERIS bicycle saddle disagrees with that entire premise, and the disagreement...
