Happy Feet
Sweaty feet mean discomfort, smell, and possibly infection. The Adidas Climacool claims 360° ventilation channels that reduce thermal stress and evaporate sweat,
flexibility (a soft midsole), and lightness.
Rs 7,999, adidas.com/in

If you’re looking to project cool, the Adamis Messenger Laptop Bag  will give you that sophisticated, trendy touch.
From Rs 3,500, adamis.in





Tablet Love

The Capdase Protective Folio
Felt Case comes with a felt covering  and an elastic band to cuddle your iPad and protect it from the rigours of daily use and travel.

Tech
Slice of Life
Downside? The Limebox HDD media player does not come with a wireless keyboard.  On performance, it does well across a majority of audio and video formats, handling huge files easily. The picture quality is good, as  the sound output is good too. All you need is an internet connection, and anyone from your younger sibling to your grandfather can access the internet.
Rs 8,499, portronics.com

On Paper

Japanese designer Koji Sekita’s Watching You series features wonders like this chair crafted out of special paper (called vulcanised fibre) which is cut using a press machine, then bent into sections to create a delicate honeycomb-like pattern. The individual parts are fitted together to form a sturdy, lightweight structure.  It is easy to transport, recycle and assemble , and can be extended to any required length. With the right lighting, it throws enchanting shadows around it.
