Hoka’s super comfortable everyday runner

Hoka says it ‘threw out the rulebook’ when creating the Skyward X, its new ultra-cushioned running shoe. The Skyward X has a 48mm stack height — breezing right past the 40mm sole thickness limit set by World Athletics, meaning this shoe would be ‘illegal’ in any sanctioned events. However, the Skyward X is designed as an everyday option, not a shoe for chasing race-day PRs.

The Skyward X features PEBA and EVA foams with a convex carbon fiber plate to add ‘spring’ to every step. But all this tech doesn’t come cheap — a pair will set you back $225.

Will Tennyson’s Be Good Bakery launches a new protein powder

Sports nutrition brand Be Good Bakery, founded by YouTube star and fitness influencer Will Tennyson, has added vanilla milkshake-flavored POWER UP PROTEIN to its line of tasty consumables designed for the ‘everyday athlete.’

POWER UP PROTEIN features a whey and casein-powered formula, with each serving (2 scoops) containing 26g of protein, 2g of fat, and 6g of carbohydrates (of which 3g are sugars). Each 1.8lb tub contains 21 servings and costs $44.

The Hike Clerb x The North Face collection is designed for a deeper connection with the outdoors

Founded to reimagine an equitable and inclusive outdoors, Hike Clerb has collaborated with The North Face to create a line of outdoor clothing and accessories designed to perform in nature and to celebrate individuality and confidence outdoors.

Evelynn Escobar, Hike Clerb’s founder, worked closely with The North Face’s design team to create the ten-piece collection, which features hiking boots, sandals, a sling bag, a bright utility vest, an oversized tee, and more.

Primal Kitchen’s new range of dipping sauces

Better-for-you condiment and dressing brand Primal Kitchen unveiled four new dipping sauces, based on traditional fast food favorites. The four flavors (Avocado Lime, Chicken  Dippin’, Special Sauce, and Yum Yum Sauce) have no seed oils or artificial sweeteners.

Bandit’s Boston-inspired Good Hill Hunting capsule

Coming off the excitement of the 2024 Boston Marathon, Brooklyn-based running brand Bandit just made its limited-edition Good Hill Hunting capsule available online.

The 8-piece performance apparel capsule includes singlets and tees as well as socks (the capsule’s hoodie and cap have already sold out).

Sweaty Betty and Merrell’s women’s hiking collab

The Sweaty Betty x Merrell hiking capsule collection for women features a range of outdoor-focused apparel, accessories and footwear the brands have created together. The collection aims to ‘redefine outdoor fashion and functionality like never before.’
