  2013 Mokai ES-Kape Is A Motorized Kayak

  ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS, TO DO

  Kayaking is fun.  But even hours upon hours of paddling on your Citibot Kayak won’t let you reach those remote upstream locations that are often prime locations for fishing, hunting and exploring.  The 2013 Mokai ES-Kape solves that by offering a motorized kayak that you can take to those formerly inaccessible places. Powered by a Subaru EX21 electric-start four-stroke engine coupled with a proprietary jet drive, it can run through upstream paths and river hazards like a real boss.  With [...]

  EMX Is An E-Bike With No Pedals, Gears Nor Chains

  SPORTS, WHEELS

  We’ve seen an ever-growing field of electric bicycles that teeter the line between bicycles and motorcycles, from the high-speed Stealth Bomber to the downhill-going FX Mountain Moto.  Might as well add another one to this interesting lineup: the motocross-inspired EMX. At first glance, the electric mountain bike looks like your standard pedal-assist MTB.  Except, when you look closer, there’s actually no pedals to assist.  In fact, there’s not even any chain or gears, which makes the “bicycle” classification really iffy.  [...]

  Cleatskins Cover Up Your Shoe Spikes

  FASHION, SPORTS

  Any time you’re wearing cleated shoes, you need to bring an extra pair of footwear for backup.  Those spikes may work well in the soccer field, the track or the golf course, but it’s going to be disastrous (at the least, annoying) once you step off the playing field.  The Cleatskins make those backup shoes optional. Instead of changing shoes after a game, you simply slip these footwear accessories over your cleated soles.  No more carrying backup shoes and no [...]

  NBA Legends Socks: So Ugly Yet So Beautiful

  FASHION, SPORTS

  A trip to your local Wal-Mart is always a good opportunity to enjoy a selection of ugly socks.  So far, though, few I’ve seen run way uglier than these NBA Legends Socks.  And, no, we’re not hating on these basketball-themed hosiery.  In fact, I’m salivating at the prospect of wearing these things with my Lebron X the next time I hit the local courts.  Man, my swag will be legendary.  Watch out ladies, I’m stealing your boyfriends. Wait, what did [...]

  Pro XL-C Bike Box: How You Ship Your Bike Like A Pro

  SPORTS, WHEELS

Made by Crate Works, it’s a shipping box designed specifically for holding all the parts of your favorite bicycle.  That way, you can simply send your bike via UPS instead of lugging it [...]

  JumpX Kick Scooter Catches Some Big Air

  ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS

    When it comes to coming up with new recreational solo transporters, the classic scooter has been a favorite starting point for many companies.  They’ve put tank treads on them, turned them into side-leaning electric machines and, basically, modified the classic into all sorts of fun ways.   The JumpX isn’t as much about transport as it is about fun, turning the beloved kick scooter into a more exciting ride. Just like a regular kick scooter, the new toy can be [...]

  This Basketball Comes With Sensors And Smartphone App To Help You Improve Your Game

  GADGETS, SPORTS

  We’ve seen a Nike+ sensor for basketball training before, but doesn’t it make better sense to cram sensors on a ball, too?  That’s the rationale behind the 94Fifty, a practice basketball packing its own set of performance-measuring sensors. Made by InfoMotion, the ball can measure a variety of data such as how quickly a player is releasing the ball, the amount of arc on a shot, the quality of release and backspin, and dribbling speed, among other information that should [...]

Categorized as a “neutral runner,” it’s aimed at running enthusiasts and athletes who either stride with high arches or hit the ground with their midfoot.

  Fitness trackers come in all shapes and sizes now.  From wristbands to watches to coins, there’s, literally, a huge array of form factors to choose from.  The Armour39 has to be the biggest of the bunch, strapping all the way around your chest instead of merely looping around your wrist.

  Reebok ATV 19+: All-Terrain Training Shoes

  FASHION, SPORTS

  We make all-terrain trucks, all-terrain skateboards and all-terrain bikes, so why not make an all-terrain shoe when you’d rather be hiking?  That’s exactly what they did with the Reebok ATV 19+, a pair of kicks that can run through mud, snow, grass, rocks, sand and other rugged surfaces in stride. Literally creating a new footwear category all its own, the shoes feature huge lugged soles that make the entire lower half look like the bottom of a spaceship.  Yes, the [...]

  North Face Dome Tent Brings Igloo Shape, Extreme Durability

  SPORTS, TO DO

    Sure, your Fieldcandy Tent brings as much personality as utility, making your tent stand out in a sea of them at crowded camps and outdoor festivals.  When you need extreme performance from your pop-up shelters, though, you need something more along the lines of the North Face Dome Tent. Billed as “the ultimate eight-person expedition base camp tent,” it features a dome design that’s built to “withstand the merciless environments of the Himalayas and Antractica.”  We’re guessing it’s based [...]

  Shoot Again Basketball: Nerf Hoops With Ball Return System

  ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS

  Many of us grew up with one of those Nerf hoops hung over the bedroom doorway, giving us a place to practice our jumpshots while lying in our knickers in bed.  The Shoot Again Basketball makes it even more convenient, returning the ball back to you as soon as the shot goes in. Just like the  classic hoops we had in our youth, this isn’t a toy for legitimate b-ball practice.  It’s a foam basketball, after all.  Still, for pretending [...]

  Misfit Shine Is A Coin-Sized Fitness Tracker

  GADGETS, SPORTS

  In just a short time, the market has been flooded with a good load of wearable fitness trackers, from big names like the Nike+ Fuelband to upstarts like the Fitbit.  The Misfit Shine joins the ranks but brings a unique twist — it comes in a form factor that allows you to wear it in more than one way. Rather than coming in the form of a wristband (like many of the pedometer-on-steroids in the category), it actually looks like [...]

  Do Want – Nike Lebron X

  FASHION, SPORTS

  We guess Lebron really is the new Jordan both on- and off-court because we really can’t resist wanting the new Nike Lebron X the same way everyone lusted after those new Jordans year after year way back when. Like the J’s before it, you always think, “I’ve seen better.”  Yet, you still want one because it’s the new Lebron shoe — you know, the guy who won MVP, took home his first championship ring last year and has a seriously [...]
