Reebok CrossFit Flex Nano

Price: $135

Like working out? Then you're probably really into CrossFit, the gym-based craze that is Apparently a Thing These Days. Whether or not you're in the CrossFit club, these minimalist gym shoes are ideal for working out: carbon rubber outsoles and sidewall straps make them light but stable for a wide range of movement. Best of all, they use Reebok's U-Form tech    you heat them with a hairdryer and form them to your feet, for a perfect fit. Mmm. That's better than a workout.

Heel the world

Puma Basket InCycle

Like working out, how to solve the world's problems? Pollution is kind of a biggic, so Puna has developed a range of products that don't murder the biosphere. This new take on its classic  Basket is made from an organic cotton-and-linen upper and a biodegradable plastic sole, which can be shredded and composted once you're done swanking about in them. Compostable Creps?  Sounds like a world-changer to us.

Stands to reason

Kubi

Price: $250

Website: revolverobotics.com

Until now, TelePresence robots  droids that allow you to see through their eyes and move them kind of like you're possessing  them have been hugely pricey. And what's the point of spending thousands on something you're only using remotely? The Kubi isn't so much a robot as a motorized neck, which turns through 300 side-to-side and 90 up and down. It's relatively affordable, fits any tablet, and is Bluetooth connected  you just control it via a web interface Kind of like you're possessing it.

Does Not Contain Jason Statham

Transporter

Price: $180

Website: filetransporter.com

In the old days, when you wanted to securely share important files with a business associate, they had to be hand-delivered by Jason Statham, who was propelled by a series of un-eco- friendly explosions. These Transporters are intelligent, file- sharing NAS drives; you put files on yours and they appear on the Transporter of your trusted business associate, creating a small, private server network. It’s being funded by the now-obligatory Kickstarter campaign so it will take a few months to get going, but once it does, the Stath may have to put his lucrative explosion-fuelled business concerns to one side.

The shootcase

Tumi Tegra-Lite briefcase

Website: tumi.com

There are a few points to consider when buying a briefcase.  Is it smart, without looking too shiny and new? Does it have separate pockets for your iPad and for your documents? And how will it fare when you go completely insane, begin frothing from the mouth and shoot it repeatedly with a handgun? Most briefcases tend to stumble at this last point, but the Tegra-Lite will take repeated rounds from a.38 and keep everything inside safe in the folds of its rich vachetta leather compartments. Perfect for transporting secret documents and priceless prototypes (there's a handcuff attachment too. obviously), but also great for those days when you just need to vent on your luggage.

Sounds within a bow belle

i-Box Twist

Price: $70

Website: iboxstyle.com

Winston Churchill wore one, Steve Jobs wore one during the 80s; Doctor Who wears one But should you be wearing a bow tie? Because it takes a certain kind of swagger to pull it off (and to put it on, for that matter). Why not start with -Box's smart little number, ready-tied and ideal for formal wear, it also contains two 38mm full-range drivers, a passive bass radiator, a five-hour battery and a hands-free speakerphone, so if it doesn't complement your look then you can always use it as a portable Bluetooth speaker.t on your luggage.

Storage Options Scroll Evoke

Price: $180

Website: storageoptions.com

Perhaps the most frustrating thing about Android is the fact that whenever a new version comes out, every new device for the next six months is still announced with the older version, along with a feeble sounding 'update pending And quite frankly, if Storage Options, officially The Company With the Dullest Name in the World, can get Jelly Bean onto their cheap 'n' cheerful dual- core, 7in 1024x600-screened, 8GB slate, then the titans of the tech world have no excuse. And look Apple they've even managed a microSD slot.

Nyne lives

Nyne NH6500

Price: $1,000

Website: nyne.com

Yes, it's nice to have a large, iPad-compatible dock with two woofers, two tweeters and a sub. Yes, it's handy that it has a CD player, Bluetooth streaming, and the option to play from a USB stick or 3.5mm input. But what about when you want to stop listening to other people's music, plug in your axe and noodle out some freeform jazz? Let it happen using Nyne's guitar adapter (sold separately), this musical Swiss Army knife also becomes a 30W guitar amp. Groovy.

Division Furtive Type 4C

Price: $250

Website: division-furtive.com

Your watch is lying to you. It's always telling you that time moves in circles, repeating itself, always giving you another hour, another day. But time isn't a circle, it's a line, The Type 40 knows this, so it displays the time as points along horizontal and vertical lines on its face. Craftier still, you set it by showing it a web app essentially a flickering light on your phone/PC    and double- tap its face to access sundry functions such as day of the week, time zone, moon phase and a battery life indicator (its battery lasts about  a year). What a truthful timepiece.

Watch the birdie

Leonar3Do

Website: Ieonar3Do.com

Using a 3D monitor with a normal mouse is like fitting your McLaren P1 with bagels instead of wheels you're not really getting the most out of it. The Leonar3Do system (it's a silent 3) does away with the 2D rodent relic in favor of this 'bird' controller, which allows you to manipulate and tweak objects in 3D space. Three infrared sensors track the bird and the position of your 3D specs, for pinpoint head-tracking accuracy. Make sure to keep the specs on, or that bird will poke your eye out and you'll end up in 2D land forever.
