Products of the Week: Timex Watches, Nikes and a Vuori Collab

Fresh off an astronomical $5.5 billion dollar valuation, athleisure giants Vuori are testing the limits of what lululemon moms and TikTok boys will spend money on, with a follow-up to their sellout collaboration with sneaker brand CLAE. The resulting Deane Vegan Vuori sneaker is a supposed nod to SoCal, at least so far as in the handcrafted shoe being designed with a vegan leather upper and zero personality (respectfully). The sneaker is available in a duo of minimalist shades for $170 at both Vuori and CLAE’s webstores now.

Things Timex is known for: durable, down-to-earth timepieces for the working man. Things Timex is not known for: indestructible works of art. The iconic American watch brand just dropped arguably the watch of the year to do with their S2Ti Swiss Made Automatic 38mm, a visionary, Giorgio Galli-designed dress watch constructed with a compact titanium case and limited to just 500 pieces. Naturally, the exclusive release almost immediately sold out, despite a very un-Timex-y $2,000 price tag. Good luck on the secondary markets — you’ll need it.

They’re hereee. Nearly a full year after it was the revolutionary running shoe was announced, Nike is finally mass-releasing the Nike Pegasus Premium, a hybrid, ZoomX-cushioned trainer that, despite looking like a funky, 97-inspired Air Max, manages to wedge an insane amount of performance into a distance shoe, including a first-of-its-kind sculpted Air Zoom unit you’ll have to feel to believe. We’ve already gotten the chance to run in them, and we must say: they’re snappy, they’re good for virtually every run, and they totally kick ass. The initial batch is mostly sold out, but expect a new colorway launch — Black and Bright Crimson, very cool — in the not-too-distant future. As in, March 5.

A single barrel bourbon picked by…Eli Manning? As a Super Bowl tie-in, that’s a winning combo (at least if you’re playing the Patriots). Selected by Manning and eighth-generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe, this limited-edition is only available in stores in New Orleans, NYC and LA (there’s also a tie-in sweepstakes in case you want to win a trip to the distillery). So, does Eli know whiskey as well as his brother? It’s a good and unsurprisingly aggressive (120-proof) take on classic Knob Creek, full of vanilla, caramel and baking spices, with a hint of leather and citrus.

Another option for the Super Bowl? Pair your mom’s favorite wine brand and your college pizza staple. Yellow Tail and Domino’s recently teamed up to debut a $13 red blend that “enhances a great tasting pizza’s existing flavor.” Yellow Tail’s website also offers some alternate wine/pizza pairings on their site.

Rimowa has partnered with retailer Rick Owens to bring us a perfectly bronzed one-of-a-kind suitcase. The color is achieved through a manual pigmentation process, which means no two are alike and there are only 500 numbered pieces so if you think this fits your travel style, you better act fast.
