Let's call them running shoes for people who hate running. On is a relatively new brand based out of Switzerland and their signature technology lets you land softly and push off hard. In fact, On's CloudTec soles are scientifically proven to make running more efficient while preventing injury. In tests of their award-winning tech, runners show a lowered heart rate and lactate levels, meaning less effort per step.

Hill City is a new high-performance menswear label founded by former Major League Soccer player Noah Palmer. The brand was recently launched under the Gap umbrella with the mantra "everything on purpose." And we definitely see a simplicity, yet purposeful intent behind every detail. From the weather-resistant shirt jacket insulated with recycled and highly breathable PrimaLoft to the clever zippered pockets on the four-way stretch training pants.

If you get this wall-mounted lamp, you've got a decision to make. You see, when you've got a visually interesting piece like this powder-coated steel sconce in your home, people tend to ask where you got it. You can be honest and say that Urban Outfitters had it for an incredibly reasonable price. Or you could feign ignorance and say how you think you might have found it at a vintage shop on your last trip ... to, oh man ... I can't remember where that was.

We're suckers for a handsome military-influenced watch. And if that watch in question comes with a 24-hour inner ring, bright lumed hands and a date window, all for less than $150? Then we're definitely on board. This Allied watch from Timex comes in a bronze-tone brass case inspired by antique timepieces and is finished with a soft leather Nato strap that's stonewashed in Italy.

This is an old school razor with a very modern edge. Unlike a typical safety razor, this zinc and stainless steel version has a pivoting head, which allows for a smooth shave that follows the contours of your face. It's also adjustable. Build the razor to suit your taste by choosing how many blades you want. Then secure them into the solidly-build razor with the twist of a knob. The Leaf eliminates wasteful disposable of plastic cartridges and packaging. Plus, each one ships with 40 blade edges, which is a pretty decent return on your investment right out of the gate.
