Finding the right office chair can be a daunting task. No matter how many ergonomic buying guides you read, or how tempting it might become to secure a ‘perfectly fine cheap desk chair,’ only you can know when you truly find ‘the one.’ Luckily for gearheads everywhere, Mercedes-AMG is releasing ergonomic office chairs modeled after the seats in AMG’s sports cars. Marketed as an ultra-premium gaming and office chair, the chairs are constructed with materials also found in the brand’s vehicles, and include features like heavily padded armrests, a high backrest, and powder-coated frame. They also feature red decorative stitching and stripes, sports seatbelt openings and chrome wheels. Retailing for $3,539, the first fifty chairs will be reserved for AMG Private Lounge members. After that, it’s anyone’s game.

Last summer, Casio released its GM-2100 “CasiOak,” a metal covered watch that featured a band made of urethane material. After the watch quickly became extremely popular, Casio is coming back with its new, full metal, “GM-B2100D” – a G-Shock constructed with a stainless steel case and matching stainless steel bracelet. The watch will also host several features like bluetooth connectivity, solar charging, and a fully automatic calendar. Available in silver, black and rose gold, the GM-B2100D is expected to drop August 12 for ~$530 - $595.
Each pair of Modest Vintage Player’s Pro Leather Boxing Gloves are hand-crafted from full-grain cowhide leather by third generation boxing glove artisans. Available in brown leather or deluxe tan, the gloves ‘wear beautifully,’ and are set to develop ‘a patina with age and use.’ They also feature triple-layer foam padding to ensure maximum impact absorption and double-stitched seams equipped to deliver enhanced durability. Available now for $125 per pair, the brand also offers high-quality jump ropes and focus pads.
The new Norse Projects AW22 collection derives inspiration from “a full Nordic reinterpretation of classic Americana outdoor gear and culture.” Fans can find everything from down parkas to comfortable, 100 percent organic cotton, classic tees, with pieces retailing from $100 to $1,030. The collection harnesses high-quality textiles like extrafine merino, lambswool and recycled fibers sourced from PET bottles to ultimately offer a very durable, and very cozy, lineup.
When Salomon reached out to Boston-based streetwear brand ‘Bodega’ to reimagine its X-Mission 4 Suede, the Bodega team decided to create a shoe that could conquer everything from sidewalks to backcountry trails. The resulting sneaker (designed in partnership with Shaun Crawford) features a tie-dyed nylon ripstop upper, cushioned midsole and all-terrain outsole. Detailed with bright yellow, pink and teal accents, the shoes will become available for $160 on July 29, and almost certainly sell out immediately.
