This story is part of NBC Select New and remarkable column, where we highlight our favorite product launches. We will be constantly updating this article throughout the month with new releases that we think you should know about.
Clothing and footwear launch
When Ann launched her first Cloudmonster sneaker in 2022, it was just a shoe. But now, the brand has an entire Cloudmonster line that includes three pairs of shoes, and new versions of each are out now.
- The Cloudmonster 3 is an everyday trainer based on the original sneaker. It has three layers of responsive cushioning and a very prominent curved rocker shape to propel runners forward.
- Cloudmonster 3 Hyper (coming soon) is a super trainer for long and tempo runs. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin has been doing 10Ks of it for about two weeks (the brand sent a sample to test). “This is my favorite Cloudmonster sneaker, and I’ve tried them all,” he says. “Its soft cushioning keeps my feet happy and comfortable for miles, and there’s enough bounce to keep me moving, but I feel like I’m on a trampoline.”
- The Lightspray CloudMonster 3 Hyper (coming soon) is the lightest shoe in the line, and you pull it on instead of lacing it up. Like the Hyper, it’s ideal for long and tempo runs, but it’s also good for sprinters.
The Zenmode Mule is a men’s and women’s slip-on lifestyle shoe that’s anatomically shaped – the brand designed it to follow the curves of your feet so it’s supportive in all the right places. The Mule has a thick layer of comfortable cushioning, a reinforced arch and a stable, secure feel that prevents your toes from pinching or feeling like your feet are slipping while walking. You can use the built-in elastic strap to hold your heel or fold it into the shoe. The top of the mule is made of a smooth, plush fabric that lays against your skin to prevent irritation.
The New Balance Ellipse is a lightweight everyday trainer for casual runners, and it has a soft, bouncy cushioned midsole. The upper of the shoe is made of a breathable, semi-stretch yet structured mesh that keeps your feet safe and it has reflective details, a cushioned and gusseted tongue, a plush heel tab and an internal liner – the latter really ups the comfort factor. The sneaker is available in men’s and women’s sizes, and it comes in standard, wide, and extra-wide styles.
Other Notable Apparel and Footwear Launches:
Tech Launch
The MacBook Neo is the brand’s new laptop that starts at $599, and the internet is going crazy. This is the lowest priced model from Apple and is an excellent choice for many shoppers (especially students) looking for good build quality, long battery life and Apple’s operating system. “It’s not as powerful as the MacBook Air, but the price is excellent in 2026, especially given tech supply chain disruptions,” says NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz. You can read more about Apple’s March launches here, including the new iPhone 17e and M5-series laptops.
These are JBL’s latest premium over-ear headphones, with some impressive improvements from the previous model. They have a new design that’s thinner and has metallic accents, bringing a look that better matches competitors like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Sonos Ace. Despite the small size, they still get 50 hours of battery life, In addition Noise cancellation, more than most of the competition.
LG makes some excellent TVs, and Rabinowitz says the C-series is its best model for most people. This latest C6 series is brighter and comes with a new processor for improved performance in image processing and HDR. The larger sizes (77 and 83 inches) have a new, brighter panel, but are more expensive – the brand is calling these two models the C6H to distinguish them from the smaller sizes.
Other notable tech launches include:
Initiates beauty and wellness
Magic Cream was Charlotte Tilbury’s first product, and a decade later, the brand reinvented it. The new version is formulated with ingredients like a proprietary peptide complex, ectoin and hyaluronic acid to help hydrate your skin, leaving it looking firmer, plumper and smoother, according to the brand. Charlotte Tilbury also says the cream can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles and redness. You can use it as a moisturizer and makeup primer.
One of our favorite AAPI-owned brands, T3, is replacing its current Aire 360 model with this new and improved version. Notably, it now has auto world voltage, meaning you can use it internationally without a voltage converter, and it’s more compact than the previous iteration. The styling tool comes with four interchangeable attachments: two ceramic barrels, a drying concentrator and a ceramic smoothing brush. You can also buy a compatible diffuser for this. The Air 360 has three heat settings, three speed settings and a cool shot button.
You know and love Amica for hair care, and now the brand is expanding into body care for the first time. It starts with three products: body wash, body butter and body oil. Each product is formulated to make skin soft, smooth and radiant, and they’re scented with Amica’s signature fruity, floral scent.
Other notable beauty and wellness launches include:
Home and kitchen launches
It is Dyson’s first standalone, all-in-one wet and dry cleaner. It’s a hardwood floor cleaner, but has some features, including a self-cleaning, air-drying dock. Debris and dirty water are contained within the cleaner head, which the brand says reduces dirt and odor compared to competitors that move through the main body of the vacuum. At $500, it competes with premium wet and dry cleaners from brands like Tineco and Dream.
