The resulting Nike+ FuelBand motivates and inspires athletes to make every day count. The Nike+ FuelBand is designed to fit an active lifestyle with its sport-inspired aesthetic and all-day comfort.

With a potent arsenal of in-ear and on-ear headphones, Sol Republic is paving their own path to sonic dominance by offering excellent looking, feeling and sounding headsets for an affordable price. The headphones come correct with swappable headbands, cables and earphones to offer an audio experience and fashion statement that reverberate way deeper than their price would reflect.

HM wants to encourage people to spend time collaborating in between the cubicle jungles and this piece does just that.
