Ultimate exclusivity with Rolls-Royce’s Black Badge Escapism Luggage Collection

In 2019, McLaren owners were treated to a number of high-class bags to match their snazzy new rides. When you have the capacity to splurge on supercars of this caliber, it’s easy to brush off the cost for additional gear. Rolls-Royce takes it even further with the Black Badge Escapism Luggage Collection.

Perhaps the best way to describe these items is to call them the range-topping editions. Although Rolls-Royce allows its clients to personalize their purchases, the Black Badge versions use an exclusive color palette. The roster includes the Holdall, Organizer Pouch, Tote Bag, 24hr Weekender, and 48hr Weekender.

You can purchase each item individually, but Rolls-Royce also offers the Black Badge Escapism Luggage Collection as a set. Unlike the regular edition, clients can order these in Bold or Understated trims. The former features a two-tone design, while the latter goes for a stealthier blackout theme.

Rolls-Royce is crafting these out of luxe premium leather, soft canvas, and using a technical weave fabric. The new material it introduces is from the Cullinan Black Badge which adds new refined texture to the Black Badge Escapism Luggage Collection.

Chief Executive Officer for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Torsten Muller-Otvos describes it as “edgier personas” of existing products. He also says that “these exquisite new pieces represent the very best in Rolls-Royce design, materials, and craftsmanship.”

As global and local trips begin to pick up this summer, the Black Badge Escapism Luggage Collection might just be what you need to travel in style and luxury. As long as you don’t mind spending upwards up of $40,000 for the complete lineup.

Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker Is Designed For The Outdoor Enthusiast

When you can’t decide on a pair of footwear to bring to a run, hike, or walks in the urban jungle, then you can settle for Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker. This versatile gear makes it easy to switch from day shoes to running shoes in seconds. 

Described as “a reimagined legacy shoe born out of the outdoors,” this pair of durable and quality footwear takes you anywhere your feet can carry you. Uphill or downhill, or on any terrain, you can rest assured that this supports and provides comfort no matter the ground condition. That’s because it uses industry-leading tech and city style to provide you with a pair of shoes that can resist water and stain. 

Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker comes in a woven textile upper for breathability. It has a suede overlay finished with Omni-Shield treatment for water and stain resistance. This way your feet stay clean and dry during walks in the snow or under a downpour. Meanwhile, proprietary Techlite+ provides the midsole its responsive cushioning and stability. This allows you to walk, run, or jump in comfort knowing that the tech ensures extra-light comfort and faster, more durable rides.

The outsole, on the other hand, uses the advanced traction from the Omni-Grip rubber. This makes for great running or climbing shoes too as every tread on steep or rugged paths is safe thanks to its strong grip. Columbia’s Wildone Heritage Sneaker not only feels great but also looks great in its various offerings of mixed colors. These include a combo of black, dark grey, stone green and shark (looks camo), and black and dark grey.

8BitDo’s new Xbox Media Remote features backlit buttons and versatile compatibility

For the longest time, 8BitDo has been an awesome source of retro-themed gaming peripherals. Although many of its product designs are inspired by Nintendo’s classic silhouettes, it caters to other platforms as well. Generally, its controllers are compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, Steam, Raspberry Pi, and the Switch via Bluetooth. Now, Xbox users can grab a Media Remote for their consoles.

Just like Sony’s gaming systems, the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S all ship with multimedia capabilities. Aside from gaming, users can access entertainment services such as Netflix, YouTube, Twitch, Hulu, HBO Max, and others.

You can just use the supplied controller to navigate and operate, but a Media Remote is much more convenient. Just like when you watch cable TV, the traditional shape of a remote just feels natural. The button placements make it perfect for one-hand operation.

In fact, Microsoft sells a dedicated Media Remote, which is compatible with previous and current-generation systems. What 8BitDo markets are more affordable yet high-quality alternatives. Moreover, there are two variants available: Long Edition and Short Edition.

Both models will work with the older and latest Xbox units. The Long Edition would pair nicely with the Xbox Series X with its black color scheme. It features a full number pad alongside all the necessary buttons for various functions.

Meanwhile, the Short Edition Media Remote sports a beautiful white colorway and is more compact. It ditches the number pad and a few other buttons. Motion sensors automatically engage the backlight for low-light visibility. 8BitDo executes everything cleanly and we think you’ll love it.

Groove Life presents lifestyle accessories that promise comfort, durability, and style

image

One awesome aspect of modern manufacturing technology is how it allows us to enjoy more choices when it comes to lifestyle products. Creativity is no longer hindered by traditional materials such as metal, wood, fabrics, and others. Of course, not everyone wants to have accessories that are considered mainstream. This is where Groove Life steps in.

Not only does the brand make items that look good, but also considers your comfort for all-day use. The company was gracious enough to ship over some samples for us to try out. So far, we can hardly find anything to complain about, unless you really prefer to nitpick on the small stuff.

However, we do think it will feel different when you wear these for the first time. Other than that, it’s all good. Groove life caters to both men and women who desire to stand out from the crowd or keep it simple but stylish.

You can shop three main categories: belts, watch bands, and rings. The latter opens up into even more sub-types which should be enough for even the most discerning consumer. So, sit back, chill out, and let us give you an overview of Groove Life’s catalog.

The Groove Belt

image

Don’t you just hate it when you need to make fine adjustments to your belt for the right fit? Well, we do too, and Groove Life knows it as well. Now, unless your outfit strictly calls for leather, you can choose from a wide range of configurations to suit your tastes.

Find the right buckle design and match it with the strap of your choice which gives you an almost endless number of combinations. We were pleasantly surprised by the proprietary webbing embedded within the stiff synthetic weave. It provides just the right level mount of stretch for comfort.

The patented buckle is crafted out of A380 aluminum alloy and uses an effortless closure system. With the help of powerful neodymium magnetics, it latches on with a satisfying snap. Tug all you like because it’s not going anywhere. Meanwhile, the elastic secure keeper loop of the Groove Belt tucks the extra flap in place.

Groove Watch Bands

image

Next on the list is for those who count on traditional timepieces or smartwatches as an essential accessory. Every other brand out there probably sells replacement straps, but what makes Groove Life’s take unique is how they address a common issue when watches are worn for a long time.

Depending on your skin type, prolonged contact, moisture, and lack of air can lead to irritation. To avoid this, Groove Watch Bands sport breathable grooves on the interior surface. Keep your skin fresh even during workouts or in hot weather with the help of this innovative system.

The ones in medical-grade silicone are available for Apple, Fitbit, and Samsung wearables. Meanwhile, the genuine leather/silicone variants are exclusive for the Apple Watch only. Take note that the Groove Watch Bands for Samsung can be used with other smartwatches or watches that use conventional lugs.

Groove Life Rings

image

Rings are accessories that are sometimes the subject of debate among their users. Depending on the activity, rings – made from metal and other hard materials – can be dangerous. As such, Groove Life uses medical-grade silicone to ensure that it’s safe to wear no matter what you’re doing.

There are several models on offer, but you can also get a customized one for that true one-of-a-kind experience. Once again, integrated grooves on the interior section wick moisture away and make it breathable for long-term use. You can finally say goodbye to the dreaded ring rash.

What they sent over was the Zeus so we can highlight its three-piece construction. The outer layer and breathable inner layer sandwich a patented nylon band with a safety break technology. It doesn’t matter if you go for the thick or thin variant because they all look equally fashionable.

Our take on Groove Life

image

With the combination of striking looks, superb craftsmanship, and innovative design, Groove Life’s formula is a winner in our book. Throw in breathability and personalization options which makes it even more attractive. If that’s not enough to convince you, then perhaps their “No BS” lifetime warranty will change your mind.

So there you have it. To see more of what they have, just head over to the official website and shop for what you need. There’s sure to be at least one item that you can grab and add to your accessory loadout for the day. Show it off to family and friends so they can also check out what Groove Life brings to the table.

Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto give us the stealthy and modular Y-3 4D IOW Runner

When it comes to a new pair of kicks, most collectors normally grab those with unique designs. Collaborations with big names drum up appeal among the sneakerheads, which is why this latest one from Adidas should be on your radar. The Y-3 4D IOW Runner stands out not only from its good looks but also from the modular system.

If we were to choose, the Y-3 4D IOW Runner would be high on our list for its adaptability. In a partnership with Yohji Yamamoto, the shoes arrive in a blackout colorway. A while back, we also featured a similar theme on the Big Bang GMT All Black from Hublot and the renowned Japanese fashion designer.

Now, what makes the sneakers so cool is the interchangeable elements of the footwear. What we like about the Adidas Y-3 4D IOW Runner is how it embodies duality. You see, each box includes two neoprene inserts. Before you call it lame, this allows owners to switch between a high-top or low-top configuration.

Adidas should do this for more models in its lineup. Each of these also sports the brand’s iconic three stripes and stay in place via a Velcro attachment system. There’s also a faux leather overlay on certain sections to add some contrast to its silhouette. Meanwhile, the suede panel on the heel counter is a nice touch.

The Y-3, Adidas, and Yohji Yamamoto branding are visible on the lateral sides. The 4D midsole of the Y-3 4D IOW Runner only peeks through a forefoot cutout. Overall, the concept behind it is solid while the visuals are likewise stunning. To sum it all up, these are sleek and stylish running shoes for that casual or sporty outfit.

Google equips the Pixel 6 series with its Tensor SoC and premium craftsmanship

It’s that time of the year when big-name tech brands are about to refresh their hardware. Apple is gearing up for the next iPhone, while rival Samsung is reportedly unveiling the next Fold handset. Google is not about letting its competitors draw all the publicity. Therefore, it’s announcing the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will be shipping with their own custom chipset.

The two models are not only shipping with Google’s new silicon but revamped build quality as well. Fans of the internet search group’s handsets will appreciate the changes. Among the duo, the flagship version is the Pixel 6 Pro, which packs a 6.7-inch display with a 120-Hz refresh rate.

Google is likewise holding back on the curved edges of the screen. Other distinct features include polished aluminum frames and a 4X optical-zoom folded telephoto lens. As for the other, it comes with a 6.4-inch 90-Hz touchscreen without the curving edges. It likewise drops the telephoto shooter.

The smartphones show us that the days of flush camera modules are over. As almost every range-topping smartphone now sports powerful imaging capabilities, the sensors require more space. As such, the camera bumps on Google’s upcoming devices are somewhat on the chunky side.

Finally, we have the SoC, which Google refers to as Tensor. The company is holding off from the specifics for now but might share closer to launch. Nevertheless, the new chip should give the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro beefier capabilities. We don’t have to wait long to find out as its launch should be a few in a few months.

Don’t Let The Cold Bite With The Kammok Arctos 20ºF Trail Quilt

When it comes to the great outdoors, the temperatures can be tricky to work with. It can be hot in the mornings and cold during nighttime. Thus, it’s best to be prepared and you can never go wrong with a quilt in your backpack. The Kammok Arctos 20ºF trail quilt is a great choice for this matter. It works great when camping in temperatures down to 20ºF or for long-distance hiking.

Similar to the Bobcat Trail Quilt, this versatile outdoor gear does not compromise in providing you warmth. This is the brand’s “warmest quilt yet,” with Downtek 850-fill power goose down for maximum warmth for less weight. It provides superior comfort in the desert and high alpine conditions. The down is treated with a durable, water repellent finish and is free from all PFCs to keep the quilt dry longer and dry faster when wet.

Meanwhile, vertical and horizontal baffle design prevents movement of the down from upper to lower region. Paired with internal mesh gates to lock insulation securely in place, so there are fewer cold spots and a balance of warmth all throughout the body.  Moreover, the Kammok Arctos 20ºF trail quilt uses Aura 10D water-resistant ultralight ripstop nylon fabric to make it cozy and irresistibly soft.

It boasts a tapered design that follows the contour of your body: wide on the shoulder and hips for extra wiggle room, and tapered at the zippered footbox for a secure seal against cold air and minimizes heat loss at the toes. No matter your needs, it easily works as a sleeping bag, a poncho, hammock, and a camping blanket. It features a minimalist design but works great in keeping you toasty in cold conditions.

1.   Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP)

image

Paddle boarding grew in popularity about 15 years ago, but very few people owned their own board. Most of these boards were over 10 feet long and were made with fiberglass. They were so heavy and big, bringing them from point A to point B proved extremely challenging. Plus, they often cost a small fortune.

But when the inflatable stand up paddle board came along, the industry exploded. Instead of hauling around a large heavy board, you could buy an inflatable that you could easily store in a bag, which made them a lot more convenient in comparison to boards made of fiberglass. Most of these boards come with the following:

       A pump: A small pump that connects to the board which allows you to manually push air into the board. It normally takes about 5 to 10 minutes to fill it with air.

      A paddle: Paddles that come with most inflatable paddle boards allow you to adjust the size so you should have no problem storing it.

      A bag: Once the board is deflated, you can store it in this large bag.

You can pick up a top of the range inflatable SUP for around $600. Most traditional surf stores and online marketplaces stock a wide variety of inflatable boards. Unlike a traditional surfboard, you don’t have to rely on strong waves to enjoy it. He can use it in almost all weather conditions, any time of the year. It is a great product that will allow him to enjoy the great outdoors and it is fantastic for building muscle.

 2.   E-Scooter

image

Electric scooters were invented in 1985, but over the past few years, they have become very popular. For those living in a city, this is an ideal energy-efficient gift that allows them to get to their destination quickly. With growing concern about global warming, a lot of guys are looking for a mode of transport that doesn’t harm the environment. Because these devices run off rechargeable batteries and not fuel, they are environmentally friendly.

There are lots of stores online that sell these quick and agile scooters, like E-Ride Hero. Not only are these devices energy efficient and practical, but they are really good fun to drive too. They allow you to weave in and out of traffic, and you don’t need a lot of space to park them. For those who work in the city, getting stuck in traffic jams can consume a lot of their time, but an e-scooter makes getting stuck in traffic a thing of the past.

Unlike cars or other motorized vehicles, e-scooters require very little maintenance. Most people who own them manage to fix and maintain the device themselves, so they don’t have to spend a lot of cash on mechanics and spare parts

3.   Protein Gift Box

image

If the man you are buying a gift for goes to the gym regularly, he probably spends a lot of his savings on protein products to gain muscle. For those who work out a lot, protein supplements can prove to be a very costly expenditure. Once you run out of protein products, you have no other choice but to buy more. Otherwise, you will eventually end up losing all your gains after some time.

Protein boxes are packed with lots of different protein products including:

      Bars

      Snacks

      Cookies

      Drinks

      Powders

If he is a vegan, you can easily find a protein box that just includes plant-based sources of protein. Protein boxes are selling really well these days, so you will have plenty of options. If you are working off a tight budget, you should be able to find a box for less than $50.

4.   Gym Membership

image

If he likes to go to the gym, or if he wants to go but hasn’t yet joined the gym, purchasing him a gym membership is a great idea. Most guys will appreciate it because it is something they really need.

If you want to go the extra mile, you can include a massage, a trainer, or even some exercise clothes. Not all gyms are the same, so it might be worth your while checking out some gyms in your area first. Some gyms offer more than others, and some even include a swimming pool and sauna. If you don’t go to a gym yourself, it might be a good idea to do some research about the different gyms in the area first. Ask around, or check out reviews posted online. A lot of gym enthusiasts post reviews on the web about the different gyms they go to. This will give you a good insight into what you are paying for. A lot of employees working there will be more than happy to give you a small tour of the gym, so don’t hesitate to ask.

5.   Green Fees for a Nice Golf Course

image

Joining the best golf courses can cost a lot of cash, so a lot of guys can’t afford it. But you can pay to use most courses for a day, so if the man you want to buy the gift for enjoys playing golf, then getting him green fees for the best golf course in the area is a great idea.

If he is new to the game, or if he has never played in his life but you think he might enjoy it, consider getting him lessons from a PGA professional golfer. In many towns and cities, there are lots of professionals that teach others how to play. If he is new to playing golf, he will love getting lessons from seasoned professionals. Even if he has been playing golf for several years, golf lessons can help him boost his skills to the next level.

Conclusion

image

If you only know the guy for a short period, consider asking his close friends or family members for advice, or scroll through his social networking account for ideas. Before you start spending your cash, know your budget so you don’t find yourself going overboard. Just in case he owns the same thing already, make sure you keep the receipt just in case he wants to change it for something else. When you’re about to pay for the item, explain to the employees that it is a gift, and ask if he can exchange it for something else if he doesn’t want it. Before shopping, make a list of all his interests and hobbies and find out what products are available in those areas.

Smart & Savior Designs’ Transforming Flashlight Blade Is The Camping Tool You Need

When you want to pack light, especially during outdoor or camping excursions, then it’s better to bring a versatile tool that caters to your needs. A flashlight and knife are two of the most important camping tools you should have in your bag.

This keychain multitool, as its name suggests, packs both a mini blade and a torch. The core of the tool is stainless steel but with an outer surface made with titanium bonded with nitrogen for high corrosion resistance.

The blade when deployed stays in place via a magnetic system.  Meanwhile, the flashlight emits 100 lumens from its SMD power LED bulb with a lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours. It uses a single alkaline battery 29A or a set of LR 626 button cells. The battery has a life span of  60 hours with constant use and an integrated resistor prevents overheating. 

The Smart & Savior Designs’ Transforming Flashlight Blade powers with an easy twist open/off movement. It is designed to be pocket-friendly at a small size of 3.25″ long and easy in the hand and pocket with a weight of 30 grams. A keyhole makes it easy to attach to a keychain, carabiner, or tether so you can hang it on your belt, bag, or anywhere else within easy reach. Plus it looks elegant with its reverse helix shape.

Virgil Abloh shares his take on summertime style with the Off-White x Nike Blazer Low

Summer continues and it’s our pleasure to bring you all the cool stuff available right now. It does not only promote excursions, backyard barbecues, and even international travel but also showcases fashion appropriate for the season. To up your sneaker game, our pick would be the Off-White x Nike Blazer Low. There’s nothing like a good pair of sneakers to heat up your wardrobe.

Virgil Abloh’s luxury fashion label has been working closely with many of the world’s leading brands. Its collaborations with Nike has been going strong for the past couple of years and is not stopping anytime soon. As always, the Nike Blazer Low receives some signature design elements from Off-White. For example, the zip tie and tag which you can see on other releases.

Aside from sandals, these kicks are ideal if you prefer a collar that sits just below your ankle. Although some of us here prefer high-tops and mids, there are casual outfits that just look better with low-cut shoes on. Style-wise the Off-White x Nike Blazer Low retains most of the original’s silhouette.

Of course, the attraction here are the embellishments it receives from Off-White. Almost instantly, your attention will focus on the midsole wherein the rear tapers to a point that extends beyond the heel. This addition features gold specks and brilliant blue with aquamarine elements.

As for the upper, it is black leather with cutouts in several sections. A bold choice over traditional mesh fabric for breathability.

The Wanderr Chair from OME Gear Is The Ultimate Outdoor Adventure Companion

Fancy a camping chair, lounger, cart, and bed for trips to the beach, while camping and fishing? Then the Wanderr Chair fits the bill with its versatile design that transforms into any position you want.

When it comes to trips to the beach with the family, the problem can be lugging all the necessities. Often times you’d have to pack different bags just to fit everything. This 5-in-one gear though solves this problem. Better than a beach caddy and a wagon, it can carry a total of 150 pounds of weight. This means no more towing the cooler, the surfboard, and leaving other important gear behind.

Plus, the patented Sandtrakz, non-air-filled, and all-terrain wheels on the Wanderr Chair make transport easy and comfortable. They roll easily on any surface, even on sand, while industrial strength bungee cargo net keeps items safely tucked in when in cart mode.

This outdoor recreational product is built to last with its durable UV-resistant fabric and corrosion-tested construction. It’s made with a tough aluminum frame that’s weather and saltwater resistant. It weighs 30 pounds but the wheels can easily be dislodged to reduce its weight to 6 pounds.

When in seating mode, the Wanderr Chair has a 300-pound weight capacity and has two cup holders. It is fully reclinable in low chair and lounger mode. It also easily transforms into a high field chair and camping cot. Best of all, this gear requires no installation so it sets up fast and easy. It even folds down for easy packing and storage.

The Yohann iPad Pro Stand Stays Stable Even on Soft Surfaces

The Yohann  iPad Pro Stand speaks of elegance and functionality. It is a great substitute for plastic or steel stands but doesn’t look too monotonous with any of its kind.

This great addition to your work setup lets you view in either portrait or landscape mode and stays standing even on soft surfaces. It doesn’t tip or fall down when placed on a duvet or soft pillow. That’s because it has a specifically designed contoured base that adapts to any surface.

Moreover, the Yohann iPad Pro Stand gives you three angles to choose from for the ideal comfortable position. Tip it farthest to the back and make your device looks like it’s floating in the air. Despite the incline, you still have a large space on the back for a charging cable to pass through, or better yet, there’s a hole on the front under the holder that lets you charge while at work.

Best of all, it can hold an Apple pencil so you don’t have to stash the pen somewhere else and it is within easy reach. Various built-in magnets in the front edge make it possible to attach both generations of the Apple Pens. Meanwhile, a ridge along the entire width of the stand stabilizes the pen in its correct position.

Likewise, the backrest for the iPad is purposely raised to incorporate a slot for the Apple Pen that has a velvet lining to prevent scratches. The Yohann iPad Pro Stand, unfortunately, does not support those with a protective case and is ideal for uncovered iPads. Now all you need is a wireless keyboard to complete your work desk setup.
