Carmelo Anthony isn’t the only former New York Knicks player trying to upgrade your father figure. Stephon Marbury’s new eyewear brand, Chamelo, sells sunglasses with “app-enabled tint-adjustable with built-in audio.” If that doesn’t scream “dear old dad,” we’re not sure what does.

Black “scent storyteller” Chris Collins’ Kingmaker extrait de parfum is sharp and distinguishing, with Italian bergamot, lavender, rose petals, oud, and patchouli notes. It’s for the man in your life who owns every room he walks into (or needs the reminder to take up space).

We know that Black doesn’t crack, but it does burn. So, if you value a Black man in your life, ensure he wears sunscreen that can go the distance. It’s water-resistant, which means he can work out in it or work in the yard and be protected.
