The collection blends heritage craftsmanship with modern silhouettes

Designed for the modern Western man, the line combines premium materials, considered construction and Western detailing, ranging from everyday essentials to statement pieces.

Houston – September 18, 2026 -- Electrolit, the hydration beverage brand, has signed street football performer Jack Downer, known online as Street Panna, as its newest athlete partner.

Downer specializes in panna, a one-on-one street football format where a successful nutmeg can instantly end a match. He built a global following by turning quick, high-skill moves into viral content.

Downer switched from traditional football to street play after an injury

Downer originally played traditional 11-a-side football before an injury pushed him toward street football, a format built on creativity, control, and instinct. He has since become a proven competitor, earning two top finishes at the Superball Panna World Championships and building a reputation as one of the most respected players in the discipline.

El Monte, Calif. – September 18, 2026 -- Addmotor has introduced its 2026 electric trike lineup, featuring the Freetan semi-recumbent series, the UTrike tilting series, and the Freetri folding e-trike, expanding the company's range of three-wheel electric vehicles sold in the U.S.

The Freetan pairs full suspension with a reclining seat for extended comfort

Built on a 6061 aluminum alloy frame, the Freetan uses a 750W rear-drive motor with the company's EB2.0 control system and a torque sensor, powered by a 48V 20Ah Xuanwu battery. An 80mm front fork and dual rear shocks absorb road impacts, while the backrest reclines between 90 and 170 degrees. The design targets seniors, riders recovering from surgery or limited joint mobility, desk workers with back strain, and fitness-focused cyclists.

Austin – September 18, 2026 -- Bruce Bolt, the brand known for reshaping the baseball batting glove market, is launching its first football gear on October 12, with a skill glove and arm sleeve priced from $60 to $85.

The BOLTGRIP SYSTEM pairs a skill glove with the first SFIA-approved tackified arm sleeve.

The two products are designed to work together, extending tackified material from the palm up through the forearm and bicep to create three connected grip points for catching, carrying and protecting the ball.

Bear Mayer says the expansion fulfills a longtime personal goal.

"Although I grew up playing baseball, football has always been a deep passion of mine, and expanding into the sport is something I've wanted to do for a long time," said Bear Mayer, Founder and CEO of Bruce Bolt. The company previously moved into golf gloves last summer, nearly a decade after entering baseball.

United States – September 18, 2026 -- Harley-Davidson has launched its second limited-edition collaboration with camo brand Realtree, expanding the lineup with cargo pants, reversible vests, work shirts, a hoodie, and an adjustable cap.

The reversible vest offers two looks in one piece

The Harley-Davidson x Realtree Men's Reversible Vest is made from a water-resistant, poly-filled polyester weave with a zip front and multiple secure pockets. Riders can flip it to show either a solid color or the Realtree APG pattern, which depicts hardwoods, pine thickets, prairies, and river bottoms.

Cargo pants get a heavyweight canvas build

The Men's Cargo Pants use heavyweight cotton canvas, washed for a softer, worn-in feel. They keep a straight fit through the hip and thigh, with roomy side leg pockets closed by Velcro fasteners and an allover Realtree APG print paired with minimal H-D branding.

New York – September 18, 2026 -- Hublot has unveiled the Classic Fusion Balloon Dog by Jeff Koons, a limited-edition watch collaboration inspired by the artist's iconic mirrored balloon sculptures. The 42mm timepiece comes in three editions -- mirror-polished stainless steel, red anodized aluminum, and blue anodized aluminum -- with each edition capped at 200 pieces.

The watch reworks the traditionally flat, sleek Classic Fusion case into a design that mimics inflated volume, as though shaped by air pressure. Domed sapphire crystal, rounded titanium screw heads, a convex 'puffy' dial, and a padded metallic leather strap all contribute to the illusion of an inflatable object rendered in metal.

Pittsburgh – September 18, 2026 -- An inventor from Newport Beach, California, has designed a disposable accessory intended to absorb urine leakage in men immediately after urination, reducing wet spots, stains, and odors.

The design targets light leakage in men 40 and older

The product, called CAPS, is built for comfort while offering what the inventor describes as added protection and peace of mind for men experiencing minor post-urination drips.

"I wanted to create an absorbent accessory to prevent embarrassing urine leaks, stains, and odors for men," the inventor said, adding that the goal was a comfortable design that provides extra reassurance.

The concept was submitted through InventHelp's Orange County office

The original design went through InventHelp's Orange County sales office and is now available for licensing or sale to manufacturers and marketers under the designation Dept. 25-OCC-1851.

Miami – September 18, 2026 -- Capillus, a red light therapy company, has expanded into pet wellness with two new devices: the Capillus Pet Vest, priced at $299, and the Capillus Pet Joint Wrap, priced at $199. Both products are available now at Capillus.com.

The devices use red and near-infrared light to support joint and muscle comfort

The Pet Vest fits like a harness across a dog's chest, stomach, and back, and comes in medium and large sizes to fit different breeds. It delivers light therapy simultaneously to the back and belly for full-body support, offering four modes -- steady, calm, recovery, and wellness -- and three intensity levels: low, medium, and high. Owners are instructed to use it for 20 minutes, three to four times per week.

The Pet Joint Wrap targets leg and joint areas, aimed at larger dogs prone to deep-tissue stiffness and injury.

Bohemia, N.Y. – September 18, 2026 -- Vitafusion has launched Vital NMN Gummies, a Tropical Glow-flavored supplement delivering 300 mg of Vital NMN Bioactive Nucleotide per day to support NAD+ levels, cellular health and vitality.

The product marks the brand's first major innovation since joining the Piping Rock Health Products family and arrives alongside a TikTok-first marketing push called "Aging? Love It."

NMN targets NAD+ decline linked to aging

NMN acts as a precursor to NAD+, a molecule found in nearly every cell that plays a role in cellular energy production. NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, and NMN has become a widely discussed ingredient among wellness consumers seeking to address that drop.

New Century, Kan. – September 18, 2026 -- As homeowners winterize furnaces, gutters and vehicles, Morgan's Repellent is urging property owners to add rodent prevention to the fall checklist, warning that most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover rodent damage.

The University of Minnesota Extension has reported an uptick in mouse and squirrel activity as fall approaches, noting that mice seek warm, safe spaces in sheds, garages, campers and homes. Because pest infestations are typically treated as preventable property-maintenance issues rather than covered losses, the financial risk falls on homeowners once rodents establish themselves.
