What’s old is new! Iconic and legendary heritage pieces from outdoor brands like The North Face, Mountainsmith, and Vasque are back — while others from Woolrich, Birkenstock, and Vuarnet never went out of style. Maybe you’ve even still got a few of these in your closet!

 

LEFT COLUMN: BIRKENSTOCK ARIZONA SHEARLING SANDALS $149.95. Everybody’s favorite Birkenstock since 1973, the iconic two-strap Arizona, is ready for fall — shearling lined for cozy comfort. Made from rugged suede, with adjustable vintage-metal buckles, wear ’em with socks for extra warmth and cool hippie style.

THERMOS STAINLESS STEEL INSULATED BEVERAGE BOTTLE 16oz $14.99.

VASQUE CLARION ’88 GTX $159.99. The Clarion ’88 GORE-TEX is the rebirth of a Vasque legend. Three decades after its original debut, the Clarion ’88 GTX stays true to its classic styling and timeless performance — hiking, camping, or on adventures around town.  Read More

 

The E-Fleet Band

 

FARADAY CORTLAND $2499

 

Electric bikes, or “e-bikes”, have become one of the most popular categories of bicycles for both fun and commuting, opening the road up to many who might not have previously considered cycling as their mode of recreation or transport before. We’re talking “pedal assist” here, not those motorized bikes your take-out gets delivered on that require no pedaling at all. For those times when you need an extra boost of power while riding, and don’t want to break a sweat — say up a hill on your way to work — the e-bike is the way to go.

In the US, there are three classes of e-bikes defined by the speed and type of power assist. Class 1 bikes have a motor (max 750w) that assists while you’re pedaling and maxes out at 20 mph. Class 3 can assist up to 28 mph. Both are allowed in most states and cities without requiring a license. Class 2 models have throttles that don’t require pedaling in order to get a boost. The miles before recharging, or range of the bike, is determined by how much assist you use.

Most big name cycling companies now offer a class 1 e-bike option, as well many design-oriented bespoke brands, and even urban bike-sharing systems like Citibike have added e-bikes to their fleet. I rode an electric Citibike home from work earlier this week (they’re hard to find!), zipping up Madison Avenue in no time with a “I’m having a blast” look on my face. Even the taxi drivers were smiling at me. Read More

 

Super Coffee

 

 

Your bottled coffee drink just went from a sugar-packed milkshake to a nutritious protein drink with Super Coffee. This delicious new line of Keto-certified, organic coffee creamers and beverages add the nutritional benefits of healthy fats and protein, for all-day energy without the sugar and extra calories in other coffee drinks.

With three product lines — Super Coffee, Super Creamer, and Super Espresso — all are available in such flavors as Mocha, Hazelnut, and even a seasonal Maple Pumpkin. Naturally sweetened with the antioxidant-rich monk fruit, a 12oz. Mocha Super Coffee has 80 calories, 2g carbs, and 0g sugar — compared to a 13oz. bottled Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino with 260 calories, 47g carbs, and 42g sugar!

Coconut Oil has become one of the most popular “superfoods” — MCT Oil in particular, the healthy fat extracted from coconuts. Super Coffee adds those MCTs which are known to increase energy levels, regulate blood sugar, accelerate fat burning, and improve cognitive performance – for a sustained boost without the crash. Super Coffee also adds grass-fed and lactose-free whey protein concentrate for a creamy flavor with the benefits of 10 grams of lean protein per bottle.

Super Coffee is popping up in major grocery and pharmacy chains making it an easy grab-and-go beverage for a delicious, nutritious, and satisfying energy boost — anytime and anyplace.

OOO-M-G!

 

 

Walking around the Outdoor Retailer trade show this summer, I stumbled upon the OOFOS booth. Feet aching after miles logged on the floor, I slipped on a pair of these fat-soled sandals and took a few steps into cushioned heaven…

OOFOS sandals are designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts as a post-workout “recovery” shoe. After a long run, HIIT class, bike race, or walking a trade show, the OOfoam™ technology combined with a bio-mechanically engineered footbed have been proven to help your feet and whole body feel better faster.

Two extensive research studies have shown that the OOFOS cushioning and anatomical design helps reduce the load on feet, ankles, and knees while walking — reducing the stress on the rest of body as well. With 37% more impact absorption than the traditional EVA foam found in athletic shoes, OOFOS provide the whole body the opportunity to relax and recover. Read More

Walking around New York City these days it’s not unusal to see a pair of boxing gloves draped over the shoulder of a fashionably dressed woman. Check out Instagram and you’ll see many a fashion model punching it out with her trainer in sweaty style. From the spa-like Shadowbox, to the speakeasy grungy Overthrow, to long established boxing gyms like Gleasons in Brooklyn — boxing is the hottest workout in town.

Fighters are known for their fitness and ripped physiques. Not only does boxing tone muscles and build full body strength, but it’s a major cardio workout, as anyone who has jump roped or hit the heavy bag for 3 minutes straight can attest. Just one boxing class can burn up to a thousand calories. It’s a sport that requires not just physical but mental discipline as well. Putting together a series of jab-hook-cross-upper cut combinations while bobbing and weaving requires intense focus and concentration, in addition to muscular and cardiovascular strength.
