Actble ballet shoes

This may be a bit of a niche product, but we love the innovation happening in all industries. Actble has disrupted the world of ballet with its 3D-printed pointe shoes. The current issue with traditional pointe shoes? They’re incredibly expensive and don’t last very long (sometimes only a few days if a professional dancer uses them). Actble aims to combat this issue by creating shoes that not only last longer, but also enhance performance, and reduce joint pressure and toe strain.

Logitech Aurora collection

This whimsical set of gaming equipment by Logitech has taken the world by storm since its launch. The idea was to create a gender-inclusive design that’s easy on the eyes while still usable. The Aurora collection boasts a ton of customisations too with different colours keycaps, keyboard plates, and headphone accessories. For the mechanical keyboard, you can even pick between tactile and linear keys. Personally, we love the cloud rest that comes with it. So adorable.
