Diagnosed mismatched intro, crafted thematic replacement
Some weeks the EDC gets built around what's practical. This week’s SPPLY., it got built around a colour.
Purple. Deliberately, committedly purple. Four pieces - Avengers cards, an Atomic Purple balisong trainer, a machined fidget grip, and an AirPods case shaped like a cube - selected because they look like they belong together on the desk of a man who is planning something at a cosmic scale.
Plus the week's best EDC and tech deals.
Let's check it out👇
PICKS OF THE WEEK.
💜 THE THANOS EDC
$13. The most affordable thing in this loadout by a significant margin.
Theory11 print some of the best playing cards on the market — the stock is premium, the finish handles beautifully, and the Avengers edition looks genuinely good rather than like licensed merch. Carry them, use them, actually shuffle them. Cards in a pocket are a conversation that hasn't started yet.
Also purple. Obviously.
Flytanium take existing knives and make them better. The Arcade Lite is them doing it to themselves — a balisong-style trainer that's been engineered from scratch rather than adapted from something else.
Atomic Purple anodised aluminium, perfectly weighted for flipping, and smooth enough that you'll still be holding it twenty minutes after you picked it up. The colour is genuinely special — not purple-trying-to-be-subtle. Just purple. Committed.
Honest note: balisong flipping has a learning curve. You will hit your knuckles. Worth it.
👉 Flip it
A machined fidget tool built around the satisfying weight and feel of a pistol grip — without the pistol.
The Gunner Grip is the kind of object that people pick up and don't put down for an uncomfortable amount of time. The texture gives your fingers something to work with and the weight is substantial enough to feel deliberate in hand. HITEX work at the intersection of tactile tools and pocket art and this is one of their best.
Your focus will not improve. Your hands will not be idle.
Apple's AirPods Pro case is fine. The Sonkoloro G-Cube is a situation.
Machined into a perfect cube — yes, a cube — with a magnetic closure that snaps shut with the kind of finality that makes you open and close it repeatedly just to hear it again. It turns your AirPods case into a desk object, a conversation piece, and a thing you'll pick up for no reason at all.
Secondary market find. Worth the hunt.
