Freddie Wong walks around like a total self-absorbed Glasshole, doing what many of us already do when using our smartphones and walking. We’re not worried. We’re going to wait for the direct optical implant version anyhow.

Niklas Roy’s installation is a ball pit with a maze of tubes above leading to a receptacle. A spout lets visitors suck the balls up the tubes and into the receptacle; pulling a lever causes the gathered balls to rain down on the pit.

Tsubo’s dressed-up take on the classic low-rise chukka. We love the detail of the woven leather along the bottom edge. Its air-injected outsole reduces weight for added comfort. Available in rich bourbon brown or deep navy blue.
