Bellroy has always been my favourite brand for carry solutions. I used to do a bit of writing for Rushfaster, which is the world’s biggest online retailer for quality carry solutions like bags, packing cubes and whatnot. Writing about a few Bellroy products was my first assignment, and since then, the Australian company has been…
Before Bellroy became synonymous with backpacks and slings, it built its reputation by solving small, everyday frustrations in the carry solution space. That’s always been the appeal.

Just released in Australia, the running shoe builds on a legacy of consistency and trust in the running community.

The smaller challenges in city life, like fighting for space on a crowded train or stretching out to keep a door from shutting, are the inspiration for the forthcoming Nike ISPA Air Max 720 release. Designed to be unique, pragmatic and futuristic, the eye-catching new drop comes from ISPA, a program spearheaded by Nike Sportswear’s…
The Nike Epic React Flyknit was one of the most popular running shoes of last year, so its no surprise that a line-up expansion is coming so soon.
