Footwear launches
Brooks Glycerin 22 SE
If you like wearing Brooks’ sneakers as lifestyle shoes rather than running shoes, make room in your closet — the brand just dropped a special-edition pair of its Glycerin 22 sneakers with a pull-on, laceless design. They’re easy to take on and off, and since they look less athletic than a typical Glycerin sneaker, they’re more versatile in terms of what outfit you pair them with. The Glycerin 22 SE has plush nitrogen-infused foam, and there’s more cushioning in the heel than the toe to soften your landings while walking. Its stretchy, flat knit upper is also slightly compressive to hold your foot in place.
Saucony Matrix
Saucony first launched its Matrix sneaker in 1999, and 25 years later, the brand is adding it back to its main shoe collection. It was originally designed by Brian Moore, who’s currently Saucony’s Chief Product Officer. He updated the Matrix for the 2025 re-launch by keeping the shoe’s original colors, materials and silhouette, while adding new personal touches, including his wife’s name in Mandarin characters on the back. The Matrix has reflective piping, breathable mesh uppers and a chunky outsole.
Staple x Brooks Adrenaline GTS 4
For the first time, Brooks re-released one of its oldest sneakers, the Adrenaline GTS 4, in collaboration with Jeff Staple, a New York-based streetwear designer. The shoe originally debuted in 2002, and together, Brooks and Staple revamped it to have the same classic look with new colors and details that are reminiscent of 2000s running culture. It’s designed as a lifestyle shoe rather than a workout shoe, so don’t expect to wear it during marathon training.
Tech launches
Apple MacBook Air (M4)
The MacBook Air is one of the best laptops you can buy, and this latest version starts at $999 — that’s $100 less than last year’s model. On the outside, it looks very familiar, but the inside has Apple’s latest M4 chip, which should lead to improved all-around performance. The laptop also has a new webcam that can automatically keep you centered in the frame during video calls. It comes in four colors and two sizes: 13-inches (linked above) and 15-inches, which start at $999 and $1,199 respectively.
Apple iPad Air (M3)
The iPad Air sits in the middle of Apple’s tablet lineup: it’s faster and more capable than the brand’s entry-level iPad (A16), but not nearly as pricey as the iPad Pro (M4). This latest iPad Air (M3) version looks identical to last year’s model, but has a new M3 chip inside that should deliver slightly faster overall performance. It comes in four colors and two sizes: 11-inches and 13-inches.
You can pair it with the newly launched Apple Magic Keyboard attachment (sold separately), which now has function keys, and a larger trackpad at the bottom of the keyboard.
Apple Mac Studio (M4 Max)
Apple also launched new versions of its Mac Studio desktop computer: the Mac Studio (M4 Max) (linked above) and Mac Studio (M3 Ultra). These are powerful computers best suited for creative professionals with technically demanding workflows like composers, movie editors, 3D modelers or AI programmers, for example. Both new versions have more powerful processors than previous models and have built-in faster Thunderbolt 5 ports for quicker data transfer.
Beauty and wellness launches
Therabody Theragun Mini (3rd Generation)
The Theragun Mini is an NBC Select Wellness Award winner and our favorite massage gun for travel for a reason — it’s smaller and more portable than most options on the market. This third generation version is even smaller than before, and now has a travel lock function that, when you turn it on, prevents the massager from accidentally turning on in your bag or suitcase, according to Therabody. Like the previous version, it comes with three ball head attachments and a soft case.
Therabody ThermaBack LED
This back wrap is meant to reduce back pain through different built-in treatment options. It has red light therapy, heat therapy and vibration therapy modes you can customize using buttons on the device or the Therabody app. The band is one size fits all — it’s made with elastic compression straps and adjustable Velcro. The ThermaBack gets up to 180 minutes of run time on a single charge, though you can also use it while it’s plugged in.
Glossier Milky Jelly Cleansing Balm
Glossier’s Milk Jelly collection expanded with the launch of the brand’s first cleansing balm. Using botanical oils, sugar-based cleansing agents and glycerin, this gel-balm is designed to remove makeup, sunscreen and grime from the face without stripping or drying out the skin, according to Glossier. You can massage it into your skin and rinse it clean immediately or use it as a moisturizing face mask by leaving it on for three to five minutes before rinsing off.
Charlotte Tilbury Dark Spot Correcting Radiance Recovery Serum
Suitable for all skin types, this serum helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve dullness and reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation and acne scars, according to the brand. It does so by using brightening and hydrating ingredients like vitamin C, tranexamic acid, squalane and niacinamide, all of which are ingredients dermatologists have recommended to me in my past reporting about how to target discoloration.
Dyson Supersonic r Professional Hair Dryer
Dyson’s Supersonic r, originally created for professional and salon use only, is now available to the masses. It’s the brand’s smallest, most lightweight and most expensive hair tool yet. The hair dryer has an “r” shape, which allows it to help quickly dry hair and comes with new technology to maximize its airflow and temperature, according to the brand. In addition to the dryer, you’ll get five attachments, which have sensors in them that adjust their motor and heat settings to optimize the attachment’s performance and prevent heat damage, according to Dyson.
Fur Chafe Cushion
This velvet-like stick helps prevent chafing by creating a protective barrier on the skin, soothing it and relieving any irritation from previous chafing. All you have to do is swipe the anti-chafe stick on any of your problem areas to target these concerns. Its formula has niacinamide, shea butter and a slew of other slippery, hydrating ingredients that will help keep the skin soft and moisturized without leaving a residue, according to the brand.
Skinfix Barrier+ Balancing Water Cream
“Skinfix’s Barrier+ moisturizers are some of my favorites,” says NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez. This new addition is especially great for those with oily, acne-prone and combination skin because it’s lightweight and noncomedogenic. The cream, which is water based, is also great for these skin types because it helps reduce excess oil, redness and the appearance of pores, according to the brand.
Igk Best Interest Deep Repair Air Dry Styler
This leave-in treatment takes a two-pronged approach to your hair: it’s designed to improve its look by reducing frizz and adding shine and also repair it by minimizing split ends and breakage, according to the brand. To achieve these results, apply it to towel-dried hair and distribute it evenly by brushing it before allowing it to air dry.
L’Oréal Professionnel AirLight Pro Hair Dryer
The AirLight Pro, the first hair dryer from L’Oreal Professionnel, debuted at the end of 2024 and hasinfrared-light technology that helps leave the hair smoother and more hydrated, according to the brand. You can alternate between its two attachments (a diffuser and concentrator), and you can customize its settings on the tool itself or through its companion app.
Kitchen launches
Nutribullet Ultra Plus+ Compact Kitchen System
Nutribullet’s latest appliance comes with interchangeable attachments that let you use it as a personal blender, food processor and coffee/spice grinder. Each attachment is compatible with the included motor base, which activates when you add an attachment. You can run 30-second auto-cycles or use the pulse function whether you’re using the system to make a smoothie, chop onions or grind coffee beans. The machine comes in finishes like gunmetal, stainless steel, satin black, brass and pearl white.
Our Place Titanium Pro Collection
Our Place introduced its Titanium Always Pan Pro last year, and now, the brand is bringing the same durable, nonstick, toxin-free material to other cookware. You can officially buy the Titanium Perfect Pot Pro in mini and standard sizes, and the Titanium Always Pan Pro in mini and large sizes (in addition to the already released standard size). All titanium cookware is stovetop-, oven- and dishwasher-safe, has 360-degree sealed rims with pour spouts and comes with built-in utensil rests. Metal and silicone utensils are included with your purchase.
Balmuda MoonKettle
Balmuda’s electric MoonKettle is a modernized version of the kettles people used centuries ago in China and Japan, according to the brand. It comes with a plug-in base that has a LED screen, and you can adjust the water’s temperature from between 122 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit using the built-in buttons. The kettle, which has a fixed handle, retains heat from up to 30 minutes, according to Balmuda. It has a 0.9-liter capacity, which is enough water to make about five to six cups of coffee.
Gonzey Tread
The Tread is Gonzey’s first plug-in portable pizza oven, which you can set up in a backyard or at a campsite, tailgate or beach. It has a gas burner and dial controls, and it can reach up to 950 degrees Fahrenheit in about 15 minutes, according to the brand. The lightweight oven has carry handles on the sides to help you move it around. Beyond using it to make pizza, you can cook meat, fish and vegetables as well. Gonzey launched a handful of Tread accessories (sold separately), like a carry bag, stand and roof rack that you can connect to the top of the oven and use as a prep station or mini table.
Home launches
Shark TurboBlade
Shark designed this quiet, oscillating, bladeless fan to eliminate the need for multiple cooling appliances in one room. You can pivot its head and twist its vents to point air in up to two directions at a time. It also has a telescoping pole, letting you adjust the fan’s height depending on how you’re using it. There’s 10 airflow speeds and multiple modes to choose from, including sleep mode. The fan has a removable filter that traps dust particles, which you can easily wipe clean.
Tushy Cloud and Cloud+ E-Bidets
Tushy expanded its line of bidet toilet seats with two new models: the Cloud and the Cloud+. They both instantly heat water and have a nightlight, air dryer, heated seat and UV nozzle serialization system. But with the Cloud+, you get additional benefits, like a remote control (instead of using the Cloud’s side control panel, which is attached to the toilet seat) and a built-in deodorizer that pulls air through a carbon filter while you’re sitting. The bidet only fits elongated toilet bowls and comes with all the materials you need for installation, including tank adapters, hoses and hardware like bolts and washers.
Parachute Organic Plush Bath Collection
This is the brand’s softest, fluffiest, most absorbent towel material yet, according to Parachute. It’s made from 100% organic Turkish Aegean long-staple cotton, giving it a luxurious, lofty texture. You can buy bath mats, washcloths, hand towels, bath towels and bath sheets made from the material in a slew of neutral colors.
Travel launches
Yeti Ranchero Backpack
Yeti’s newest water- and abrasion-resistant backpack is excellent for short trips and commutes because of its many internal and external pockets and additional straps. It also has a back panel and cushioned shoulder straps that work to alleviate neck and shoulder discomfort by evenly distributing weight and giving you stability. If you don’t feel like carrying it, you can place it on the ground without worrying about it tipping over or attaching it to your carry-on.
“I took this on a recent weekend trip, and I was shocked with how much I fit in it,” says Alvarez, who got a courtesy sample from the brand. “I stuffed it with enough shoes, clothes and toiletries for four days and still had room for more. But my favorite thing is that it could unzip fully, so I could easily access and see where everything was, which was especially helpful when I was on the train and bus.”
Quince Aluminum Carry-On Suitcase
Quince recently released its first aluminum carry-on, a lightweight and durable addition to its growing luggage collection. Its interior is large enough to hold five to seven outfits and has a removable laundry bag, compression panel and organizational compartments. The outside has a TSA-approved combination lock, leather luggage tag, a soft rubber handle and 360-degree wheels that make it easy and comfortable to hold and move the suitcase, according to the brand.
