Master & Dynamic

MW07 Earphones

$299.00

Master & Dynamic has released the MW07—their iteration of compact, case-carry bluetooth earphones. The brand has made—and perfected—over-ear and standalone headphones, but this is their foray into the growing wireless earbud market. The technical specs in these tiny devices are inexplicably good—making them some of the best sounding in-ear speakers out there. 10mm Beryllium drivers deliver rich, deep sound to listeners and the handcrafted acetate looks great. They’re packed away, when not in use, in a stainless steel case that also acts as its charger. And no worries about either of them falling out of the ear—the wide range of bulbs and “fit wings” lets you customize the size to your liking.

Feit

Biotrainer Hightops

$550.00

The Feit Biotrainer High is a basketball-style silhouette built out using the highest grade materials—a luxurious leather contoured heel, suede upper, and 100% biodegradable sole (made from the milk of the rubber tree plant). Making this sole is a meticulous, two-week process that renders the final product plastic-less. The shoe is certainly high-end, but it operates more like an athletic shoe than a dress one.

William Morrow Paperbacks

Dead Girls

$12.00

Exploring an American obsession—dead (predominantly white) girls in the media—Alice Bolin’s debut book of essays Dead Girls is insightful and smart, but accessible. Through the lens of TV (from Twin Peaks to Pretty Little Liars) and books (by Joan Didion, Khadija Queen and James Baldwin) as well as film and more, Bolin outlines not only society’s fixation on dead girls, but also the resulting implications. Through 14 essays, she delves into gender, race, misogyny, traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity, and more. Both objective and personal, this book is an important read for anybody who has enjoyed the morbid entertainment of what Bolin calls “Dead Girl stories” in pop culture.
