Few things simultaneously make life easier and harder than the internet. Take its effect of flattening the world, for instance. It doesn’t matter if two people are a thousand miles away or sitting in the same room, the internet allows them to send or receive money with the mere tap of a smartphone button. Of course, this also means hackers a world away can even wipe out someone’s life savings in a matter of seconds. From an e-commerce perspective, the internet allows for the selling of literally anything to anyone. Regarding the sneaker industry, this fact turned a culture predicated on love into one based on business. Because of this, the internet is equally the best, and worst, innovation to happen to sneakers. Today, hyper sneaker enthusiasts — colloquially referred to as “ sneakerheads ” — are normally the ones scouring the internet for hyped sneakers with high demand. People make tens of thousands of dollars per month simply reselling shoes , a central reason the … [Read more...] about Why the Internet Dooms the Sneaker Industry As Much As It Helps It | Digital Trends

Or, you and a coworker take an afternoon stroll down a busy street in the summer sun while talking about a new project.

Finding climbing routes can be a frustrating process for even the most seasoned of climbers — be it dealing with dangerous walk-offs or fumbling with large guidebooks. After years of not only experiencing this but also hearing from their peers, married couple and avid climbers Rick Momsen and Stefani Dawn decided to create Climb-On Maps . Their idea was to have it pick up where guidebooks and sites like Mountain Project leave off, offering users clear route types, grades, and count per crag. In its physical iteration, it also provides water- and tear-proof, highly detailed maps of approaches and (non-rappel) walk-offs for some of the United States’ most popular climbing areas. About Climb-On Maps Of course, there are other climbing apps like SloperClimbing , Rakkup , and ClimbingWeather built to assist climbers with weather conditions, planning routes, and even GPS navigation . But what about what satellite images can’t see and differing GPS systems? These … [Read more...] about How Climb-On Maps is Making Climbing Safer and More Accessible | Digital Trends

Head on over to The Manual to see the complete Outdoor Retailer Awards . Lightweight and reliable, LifeStraws let hikers slurp from mountain lakes, streams, and even puddles without worrying about pesky bacteria like giardia. But what about contaminants you might find in a more urban environment? At this year’s Outdoor Retailer show, LifeStraw debuted a new filter designed to reduce lead, the debilitating contaminant that lead to the Flint water crisis .
