Yesterday, space and tech enthusiasts awaited Elon Musk‘s latest venture: the maiden voyage of the SpaceX Dragon to the International Space Station. Although the launch was called off due to bad weather, the astronauts’ new “spacesuits” have attracted attention for their sleek, Tesla-fied, Tony Stark-esque kind of vibe. SpaceX spacesuits are designed for optimum functionality with Dragon pic.twitter.com/QW4DirDirx — SpaceX (@SpaceX) May 27, 2020 Designed in-house in Hawthorne, California, the flight suits — n0t actually intended for moonwalks — are taking space travel design to a post-Stanley Kubrick kind of aesthetic with a sleek white trim, calf-high rubber boots, a minimalist helmet, and NASA and SpaceX co-branding on the chest and arm. Those Space X astronaut suits look like they were designed by someone who loved 80s Sci-Fi stuff 😉 pic.twitter.com/Plu8cClIDY — Mark (@rawlimark) May 27, 2020 In addition to the noticeably modernized design, the flight suits are loaded with all..

Grailed is a hotbed for rare fashion cops. Until now, perhaps the holiest of grails was the Riot! Riot! Riot! camo bomber from Raf Simons’s much-revered FW01/02 collection, once listed on the site for $47,000. Now, that Drake-approved piece of Raf Simons history has been superseded by a more obscure item from the designer’s oeuvre: his university thesis. I have no idea how tf they acquired this, but someone on grailed is selling Raf’s senior thesis lmaooo pic.twitter.com/exmk4G1Oct — [ MarkSabino ] (@marksnotnice) May 24, 2020 For his thesis project at the LUCA School of Arts in Genk, Belgium, Simons designed a series of accessory cabinets titled “Raf Simons Corpo,” which translates from Latin as “Body.” The items are described by owner Max Reynders as “a series of accessory cabinets with four upright metal tubes ‘dressed’ with different materials.” A metallic creation, titled “PROTECTION” and currently listed for $99,998, is one of five pieces that are currently in Reynders’s pos..

However, we cannot verify the reliability of any unauthorized leaks or rumors unless this information is provided directly by the brands themselves. Over the past few years Kobe Bryant‘s signature sneakers have been retroed as part of a “Protro” line, which injects the sneakers with modern performance technology while keeping the OG design intact. While the future of Kobe-related Nike releases has been uncertain since the NBA legend’s tragic death in January, leaked product shots seem to suggest his popular Nike Kobe 5 is set to be re-released. Whereas previously, a “Lakers” Nike Kobe 5 Protro was leaked online, we now get our best look at two “Bruce Lee” colorways. The first is the bold yellow colorway we first saw in 2010, during the model’s original run, while the second is an alternate black and white colorway. The yellow pair is ..

Outdoors gear is made for out there. As trends take wilderness apparel from the summits to the streets, Highsnobiety is recasting a seminal part of the outdoors for the indoors with Trail Mix, a wear-test series. Instead of climbing mountains, we put gear through tests that ring closer to home. Will camp shorts work for lounging around? Is a trail runner too much for a jog in the park? Each month, we’ll take on a new category, testing five pieces in the wilds of New York City to answer questions just like these. This time, we’re talking the venerable nylon baggie. Take a ‘long.’ Cut it to the thigh. Et voila. You’ve got ‘shorts.’ The simple nylon short shorts are just that: simple and short. A staple of time spent outdoors, the baggie traces its roots back to 1920, when the Boy Scouts (a camp organization if there ever was one) made the garment an official part of their uniform. Their belted shorts were neither nylon nor all that short, but “Scouts learned that shorts were comfortabl..

Pablo Escobar’s brother, Roberto Escobar, is suing Apple for $2.6 billion,claiming that his iPhone X almost killed him, TMZ reports. Escobar alleges that someone hacked his smartphone and found his address through FaceTime, despite being reassured by the tech company that the iPhone X model is “the most secure on the market.” Per the lawsuit, he states that a man named Diego sent him a life-threatening letter after discovering his address. Escobar claims that he was forced to relocate out of concern for his own safety and spent a lot of money on upping security measures, in addition to suffering emotional distress. Escobar acknowledges that others attempted to take his life before he purchased the iPhone X in 2018; he bought the phone as a means of data protection. He also says he conducted his own investigation into the letter, which is when he found his FaceTime app to be “vulnerable.” Of course, this could all be part of a marketing ploy — Escobar Inc is selling a limited edition..

Running really is the first sport and one of the easiest to take up (disregarding the fact that the act of running itself is hard AF). All you need is a pair of running shoes, a healthy dose of motivation, and open space (though there was that story about a guy running an entire marathon on his balcony during quarantine). If you’re looking to stay fit while gyms are still closed in many cities around the world due to coronavirus — or you figured you’d save some money on the gym membership — you don’t really need the best-in-class running shoes. Unless you’re competitively running marathons, there’s no need to buy Nike’s new Alphafly NEXT% or whatever carbon fibre-plated sneaker is being touted as the next big thing. What’s most important is that you have a pair of shoes that are right for your running style, at a price that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. So, to help you get started, we’ve put together a list of some of the most affordable running shoes on the market right now. To..

Michael Jordan‘s Chicago estate is on the market for $14.9 million. Despite the popularity of ESPN’s docu-series The Last Dance, the property has significantly dropped in value from its original $29 million asking price. Per Forbes, Jordan has been trying to sell his Chicago home since 2012 – yes, it’s been on the market for eight years – but the property is finally seeing an increase in interest following the TV show’s release. Measuring at 56,000 square ft., the property sits on more than seven acres, boasts nine bedrooms and 19 bathrooms, a 14-car garage, an infinity pool, a forest preserve, a fish pond, and more. Of course, MJ also added some cuztomisations befitting a baller of his calibre. Notably, the estate also features a regulation-size basketball gym, a card room, a putting green, cigar room ( complete with air filtration), a wine cellar, and a workout room. The property is also dotted with Jordan branding as well as “23”-emblazoned on the front gate. Take a tour of the p..

On this week’s FRONTPAGE we catch up with the inimitable Lil Yachty. Mere days away from the surprise release of ‘Lil Boat 3,’ the rapper formerly known as the ‘King of the Teens’ shows how much he’s grown since we last heard from him. Lil Yachty lives in one of those idyllic, retiree-friendly suburban enclaves in Atlanta where the number of Scotts Turf Builder bags per capita is disturbingly high. The median age in this neighborhood hovers around 50 — though once the 2020 Census gets wind of the fact that Yachty (and nine other 20-somethings) recently moved into a house here, that figure may drop. Yachty may have retired his King of the Teens title, but he’s still only 22-years-old. As such, domestic life for him and his housemates — an assortment of friends and affiliated artists — revolves around activities like playing Call of Duty, Fortnite, and giant Jenga, inviting girls over, smoking out back at Yachty’s behest, blasting music (lately, from Yachty’s forthcoming album Lil Boat..
