Welcome back to another week of BroBible’s Things We Want.
It has been nose to the grindstone this week, but I cannot believe we are finally going into Conference Championship Weekend. You know, the Super Bowl gets all the shine in football, but Conference Championship Weekend is absolutely the best weekend of the year, bar none.
To me, this is my Super Bowl. The caliber of football is simply better. I love that the games are played in actual home stadiums. Neutral site sterility is kinda lame. And don’t have the “hype cycle” that plagues the Super Bowl. Just pure football.
I’m not sure where I’m watching the games on Sunday yet; honestly, probably my house. I might smoke some chicken wings before flying back into the polar vortex of the East Coast.

And follow me personally on Instagram and Substack for a peek behind the curtain (…I just wrote about how to make a living as a writer in 2026).
What I’m listening to: My music listening this week has been somewhat uninspiring, but I did just listen to Pink Floyd’s masterpiece, Animals, from beginning to end in honor of its 49th anniversary. I hope we get some new tracks from those sessions on a reissue for the 50th next year.
The most interesting thing I listened to this week was The Art of Manliness podcast with Brett McKay, specifically the episode with Chuck Klosterman. It’s a fascinating deep dive into how everyone’s favorite sport, football, became such a made-for-TV creation and could be doomed as television becomes increasingly decentralized. It really stuck with me.
What I’m reading: Chuck Klosterman’s new book, Football.
As mentioned, he explores how football became the omnipresent phenomenon of America and a generational rite of passage. But he raises a fascinating point: football isn’t necessarily “too big to fail.” What’s propelling the NFL right now is the effectiveness of its advertising. And the landscape around advertising is dramatically changing.
I’m obsessed with this thesis. I might write about it here during the lead-up to the BIG GAME while thinking about how many salsas and buffalo wings I’m going to eat on Super Bowl Sunday.
Anyway, go buy Klosterman’s new book, Football, on Amazon or your local bookstore.
What I’m watching: Still, Industry on HBO.
I can’t get over how good this week’s episode was. It was a total departure… no trading floor. All haunted country house, blue-blood, old-money drama. Like Jane Austen with more powdery head drugs. It centered on Henry Muck’s 40th birthday and his tense, unraveling marriage to Yasmin, following his depression after losing his political ambitions, playing out like a gothic novella about legacy, intergenerational trauma, and ghosts (both literal and metaphorical). The way it balanced the gritty ugliness of old money with its shiny allure was tremendous. Plus, hearing Henry Muck’s rich newsmonger uncle drop the line “Spring is coming” line about Kit Harrington was a top-tier HBO wink to the audience (…you know, because Game Of Thrones and all that). Go read Katie Baker’s recap of it on The Ringer; it’s tremendous.
My most recent online purchases: In the spirit of radical transparency… A HubSpot subscription. It’s been that kind of week, and I have to get our CRM here at BroBible in order for anyone who cares about such things.
Here are the Things We Want this week. Remember… email me! brandon@brobible.com
1. The Look: Cactus Plant Flea Market x Nike ACG
I am lowkey obsessed with this news coming down the pike. If you caught Things We Want last week, you know we were all over that Nike Winter Olympics ACG collection that just dropped. Well, the ACG train keeps rolling.
It was just announced that the long-standing, idiosyncratic partnership between Cactus Plant Flea Market (CPFM) and Nike is entering uncharted territory for Spring 2026. This latest chapter sees Cynthia Lu’s chaotic DIY aesthetic colliding with the rugged, utility-first world of Nike ACG.
The rumored lineup sounds incredible: weather-ready Anorak Jackets, full-coverage Balaclava Hoodies, Sherpa Hats, Long Sleeve Polos, and a heavily pocketed “Raver Pants” that lean into an industrial vibe. My personal favorite is this Day-glo bright, chaotic, ’90s-esque fleece… I must have it.
It’s the perfect intersection of the surreal and the functional, ensuring that “All Conditions” now includes the whimsical.
Price: Streets say prices should range from $60-$250 CHECK IT OUT VIA JUST FRESH KICKS
The Kicks: ANTA KAI3
Kyrie Irving is back with his latest signature shoe with ANTA Sports, the ANTA KAI3. This marks a serious evolution. Dubbed the “KAI 3.0 Era,” this silhouette is all about renewal and precision, inspired by the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the world.
It features a nitrogen-infused N2 foam midsole for responsiveness and a streamlined, aerodynamic upper that’s built for the quickest cuts on the court. The debut colorway drops just in time for Chinese New Year, rocking a clean beige, gold, and red palette that looks incredibly premium. At $135, it’s a performance beast that delivers pro-level tech without the insane markup.

2. The Kit: Undefeated x Burton
UNDEFEATED x Burton
Featuring @lj_henriquez and @ylfarunars

The wait is officially over. We’ve been hearing rumblings about this for a minute, but the Undefeated x Burton collection is finally here, and it is sick.
This limited-run capsule completely blurs the line between snow and street. It combines that distinct Undefeated street-style aesthetic with Burton’s top-tier technical performance. The standouts for me are the 2L GORE-TEX Jacket ($714.95) and matching Bib Pants ($714.95)—absolute storm-proof beasts that look just as good in the city as they do on a black diamond.
They also dropped a limited edition “Good Company” Camber Snowboard ($479.95), which is a classic twin ride with a military-inspired camo design. If you need to upgrade your kit, they have Anon M4S Goggles ($339.95) and a WaveCel Helmet ($254.95) in the mix too. Whether you’re actually shredding or just trying to survive the polar vortex in style, this collection hits the mark.
Price: Boards start at $495.95 CHECK IT OUT VIA UNDEFEATED
3. The Tech: HOVERAir X1 Pro MAX
I’ve been waiting for a drone that actually solves the “solo creator” problem without requiring a pilot’s license or a bulky controller, and the HOVERAir X1 Pro MAX is exactly that.
This thing is basically a personal cameraman that fits in your pocket. It shoots in stunning 8K video at 30fps and uses advanced AI to track you automatically. The best part? It requires zero controller skills. You literally launch it from your palm, it follows you at speeds up to 26 mph, and captures cinematic shots while avoiding obstacles (even from behind).
It’s built for action—whether you’re cycling, skiing, or just vlogging—and features Level 5 wind resistance and an OmniTerrain system that works over water and snow. At around $699, it’s a serious piece of kit, but for the ability to get pro-level shots of yourself without nagging your buddy to hold the camera, it’s a total game-changer.

4. The Grail: Kith & AVIREX for Olympics Heritage Leather Bomber Jacket
Just in time for the Winter Games hype, Kith is dropping a serious heater this Friday at 11 AM EST. The Kith & AVIREX for Olympics Heritage Leather Bomber Jacket is a true collector’s piece.
Crafted from premium leather in a clean “Tofu” colorway, this bomber features Kith, AVIREX, and Olympics Heritage tri-branded artwork on the chest and back. But the real showstopper is the all-over Olympics Heritage logo patches that give it that vintage, distinct feel. At $1,350, it’s an investment piece, but considering it’s limited to 2 units per customer, it’s going to fly. If you want to own a piece of wearable history, set your alarms now.
Price: $1350 CHECK IT OUT VIA KITH
5. The Fix: Salomon S/LAB QST X Skis
You know me, if we’re talking winter gear, I’ve got to throw some skis in the mix. I’m jonesing to get back out, and almost started driving up to Mammoth today at 5 AM, but I made the (wise) call to glue myself to the computer all day and get some work done. So it goes…
The new Salomon S/LAB QST X is the absolute go-to for powder hounds this season. I’m obsessed. They look like they’re for real rippers.
These are built specifically for big lines in deep snow. With a massive 116mm underfoot and a generous rocker profile, they are designed to surf, drift, and float through the deepest pow you can find. But they aren’t just noodles; Salomon used a Karuba and poplar woodcore reinforced with basalt fibers and a “Cork Damplifier” to keep them stable when you’re charging downhill. Priced at $849.95, they are a premium tool for advanced skiers who want to turn the mountain into their personal playground.

6. The Ride: 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster Strosek
We always keep an eye out for a dream ride, and this week’s find on Bring a Trailer is a total showstopper. It’s a 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster Strosek that is pure ’90s tuner glory.
Finished in a stunning Maritime Blue, this rare Speedster (one of only 936 produced that year) carries the distinct signature of Vittorio Strosek. It rocks widened bodywork, those distinctive ellipsoid headlights molded into the fenders, and a lowered suspension that gives it an aggressive, ground-hugging stance.
With only 6,000 miles on the odometer, it sits on three-piece 17″ OZ Racing wheels and features body-color Recaro bucket seats. Powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six with a five-speed manual, it’s a collector-grade piece of history that looks like it drove straight off a poster in 1994. The current bid is $70,000, but for a vibe this specific, it might just be priceless.

7. The Tribute: 2026 Indian Chief Vintage
If I’m being honest, this one hits close to home. My dad has turned riding his Indian into his entire retirement hobby, so I have a massive soft spot for the brand. And their latest drop, the 2026 Chief Vintage, is a legitimate stunner.
Released to celebrate Indian’s 125th anniversary, this bike is a love letter to the 1940s Chiefs. It’s dripping with old-school cool… think flowing valanced fenders, wire wheels, and that iconic illuminated headdress on the front fender. But don’t let the retro look fool you; underneath, it’s packing a Thunderstroke 116 V-twin that pushes 120 lb-ft of torque.
It also features modern tech like a 4-inch touchscreen display with GPS and Bluetooth, cleverly disguised to look like a classic gauge. Starting at $19,999 and available in “Indian Motorcycle Red” or “Black Metallic,” it’s the perfect blend of heritage and horsepower.

8. The Beast: Balmoral Defender x Todd Snyder “Edition 001”
If the Porsche above is the vintage dream, this is the modern grail. Luxury automotive house Balmoral Defender just announced a massive collaboration with menswear king Todd Snyder: The Rugged Gentleman Collection.
The inaugural build, “Edition 001: City Black,” is a fully remanufactured 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 that is nothing short of a masterpiece. They took a Spanish-registered donor vehicle, stripped it to the frame, and rebuilt it with a modern Chevrolet small-block V8 and a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Visually, it is stunning. It’s finished in an exclusive Niagara Gray micro-metallic paint with a Sonnenland Dark Beige mohair soft top. Inside, it features Italian leather with honeycomb quilting that feels more like a bespoke suit than a truck interior. Only 10 vehicles will be produced globally, starting at $305,000. It’s expensive, rare, and absolutely incredible.
Price: Starting at $305,000 CHECK IT OUT VIA TODD SYNDER
9. The Watch: TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph
Two years after debuting this movement in the Monaco, TAG Heuer has finally brought the rattrapante (split-seconds) complication to the Carrera line, and the result is spectacular. The new TAG Heuer Carrera Split-Seconds Chronograph is a 42mm beast clad in grade 5 titanium.
It features the brand’s refined “Glassbox” sapphire design, but the real showstopper is the translucent sapphire dial. It allows you to see the mechanics of the Calibre TH81-01 movement—developed with Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier—without sacrificing legibility. We are talking about haute horlogerie standards here, with hand-beveled edges and titanium bridges that put typical sports watches to shame. Priced at CHF 110,000 (approx. $125,000), it’s a serious flex that joins the permanent collection this June.

10. The Cozy Season Comfort: Ugg Tasman Lace
via UGG
You know the “20-Year Rule” in fashion? Everything comes back around. Uggs have been having a massive moment again, but their latest drop, the Ugg Tasman Lace, is something completely unique. It takes the cozy slip-on silhouette we all know and gives it a functional, gorp-core twist.
They’ve added a distinctive dual-lace system with daisy-chain webbing that runs along the collar. It gives the slipper a rugged, utilitarian aesthetic, but it also allows you to actually tighten them down for a secure fit—transforming these from mailbox-only sliders to legitimate outdoor footwear. Retailing for $145, they feature a suede upper, classic sheepskin lining, and a sugarcane EVA outsole. They are the perfect winter house shoe that you can (and should) wear out of the house.
I’ve been wearing the Ugg slippers I got for Christmas around the house all month, and they truly deserve the hype.
Price: Starting at $145 CHECK IT OUT VIA UGG
11. Facebook Marketplace Find of the Week: Vintage 90s Super Soaker (NIB)
You know we love a good deep dive on Facebook Marketplace, and this week we found absolute gold. Someone is selling a Vintage Super Soaker from the 90s, still new in the box, for $50. Summer is coming.
I don’t know about you, but this unlocks a core memory for me. Seeing that neon green and orange tank just sitting there, untouched by time (and pool water), is incredible. It’s a random piece of nostalgia that is arguably better than any high-tech water blaster you can buy today. For fifty bucks? That’s a steal for a literal time capsule.

12. The Dream House: Wahi Lani in Hanalei Bay, Kauai
Since half the country is currently stuck in a polar vortex and it’s gonna be cold, cold, cold, cold, cold for the forseeable future, I spent an unhealthy amount of time scrolling luxury real estate listings this week just to feel something. And I found the ultimate escape: Wahi Lani (literally “Heavenly Place”) in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.
Listed for $19.5 million, this newly built 3-bedroom, 5-bath sanctuary is located steps from the sand of the best bay in the world. It’s got that indoor-outdoor living situation perfected, with views of the lush mountains and cascading waterfalls that make Kauai look like Jurassic Park. It’s modern but warm, insanely private, and about as far away from “wind chill” as you can get. If we all chip in, maybe we can afford the gate code.
