TAIGA ORCA Personal watercraft – or ‘jet skis’ if you’re happy to fling around trademarked terms – have quite a petrol-head-y image. They tend to conjure up pictures of bemuscled beachgoers gunning engines, whipping across waves and ploughing into porpoises. But there’s now a way you can star in your own personal Wave Race without damaging the environment: the Taiga Orca. Having spent several years introducing electric engines to snowmobiles, the company has now produced its first fully electric PWC, which offers an impressive 45km range and up to 160hp. Not only does it provide two hours of continuous riding on a single charge but with the included charging options you can charge it in around three and a half hours – or upgrade to direct current fast charging and juice…

But, personally, I love this month. Not because I’m a hardcore harvest festival fan; instead the produce I’m thankful for is all the brand new tech that drops at this time of year. Not only have we been blessed with the bounty of Samsung’s latest crop of folding phones – the Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 – but the iPhone 14 is ripening as we speak, ready for Apple’s imminent launch event. We’re also revelling in tech’s mouth-watering bounty here at T3. We’ve collected a cornucopia of the 101 freshest gadgets on the market and served them up for your delectation. Whether you’re looking for creative kit, labour-saving bots or commute-cutting vehicles, we’ve got you covered. Meanwhile, for those of you looking to get kitted up for your work…

1 SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD 4 • From £1,649, samsung.com Time and Samsung’s determined engineering has made a big difference to the way we feel about the Galaxy Fold. So many of its initial wrinkles have been (all too literally) ironed out: now, here in its fourth iteration, the seam in the middle of its internal screen is both barely noticeable and entirely forgivable. Our expectations of a folding phone have settled down, and this might meet every one of them. Newly trimmed down to be even slimmer than before, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 hasn’t been radically redesigned, just gently pared back. It’s also been toughened with a new stronger ultra-thin glass covering both the internal and external screens, making it look and feel premium. That said, it does lack any kind…

ADIDAS CONSORTIUM Some may recognise these trainers from their first outing in the 1980s as a basketball shoe, now reimagined by Danish brand WoodWood. Panels of leather and mesh interweave, with lace-ups replacing the original Velcro. £100, mrporter.com CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN RANTULOW ORLATO There’s a distinct nod to the 1980s with this season’s trainers as the Italian luxury brand reworks its Rantulow Orlato silhouette with a navy and grey woven jacquard upper. An investment for canvas, yes, but you’ll win on the style stakes. £595, matchesfashion.com KURT GEIGER LANEY EEL If you’re an attention seeker not content with sneakers that blend into the background, Geiger’s reflective Laney Eel trainers feature a black eel embossed cow leather upper; for added bling there are black crystals on the toe. £169, fenwick.co.uk TROPICFEEL ALL-TERRAIN These high-performance sneakers come in a range of shades with…

AU NATUREL SUSTAINABLY SPORTY Adidas’ new athleisure capsule collection aims to quash plastic waste Adidas is on a mission to end plastic waste with its latest athleisure collection, titled Made with Nature (from £17, adidas.co.uk/madewithnature). It’s a testament to the German company’s “continued mission to design out finite resources to help end plastic waste” and features sportswear apparel silhouettes and an iteration of the sports brand’s popular Ultraboost 22. Adidas described the new Ultraboost 22 Made with Nature (£165) as a “technical shoe for socially conscious runners” and is made in part with natural materials – 40% of the knitted upper is made with lyocell, a material created with cellulose fibres made from sustainably grown wood. Launching alongside the Ultraboost 22 Made with Nature this July is an all-new Made with Nature apparel range, including…
