Nike Air Max Pre-Day Sneaker
Nike borrows from both the past and the future for the Nike Air Max
Pre-Day Sneaker. It delivers a retro aesthetic with a look that's
reminiscent of a 1970s track shoe. In contrast to its old school design,
the shoe introduces an innovative air unit that's exposed between the
midsole and outsole, getting the foot closer to the air for a more
intense bounce. To further propel the sneaker forward, it's constructed
from sustainable materials to ensure at least 20% of each pair is made
from recycled components. The Air Max Pre-Day will be available on March
26, 2021. $130 (uncrate)

Nike Pegasus Trail 2 GORE-TEX "Smoke Grey"
Nike's Pegasus Trail 2 a beefed-up addition to the ever-popular Pegasus line has released in a “Smoke Grey” colorway. Lined with waterproof GORE-TEX material and featuring other sturdy, trail-specific details, the “Smoke Grey” is the latest piece of Nike Running‘s efforts to take high-performance running tech off the streets and onto the trails. Uppers feature a collar that’s slightly taller than most standard
Pegasus iterations and a three-piece colorblocking scheme: stone-toned
heels, a dark gray forefoot and toebox and a golden throat/collar. These
three main colors are accented by a wide variety of accoutrements,
including large black midfoot Swooshes and GORE-TEX logos plus pops of
volt on the heel tab, tongue and eyestays. The tongue badge is made of
hi-vis reflective material for low-light flair, and two-tone laces tie
the top half together. Down below, sharply-shaped midsoles offer a tan shade speckled with
black flecks. Though most Pegasus models utilize Zoom Air cushioning,
the Trail 2 opts for a responsive full-foot React setup. Red outsoles
with a lugged traction pattern and a durable toe bumper complete the
look.
The Nike Pegasus Trail 2 “Smoke Grey” is available now via Nike Japan for roughly $160 USD. (hypebeast)

Check Out Adidas' IIM 4D
Adidas
has been pushing to make its 4D tech more accessable in the lifestyle
sphere over the course of 2020, and the latest product of that
experimentation is the IIM 4D, a shoe that’s surfaced in a gray and yellow colorway. Joining other Trefoil silhouettes like the ZX 2K 4D and the Ultra4D,
the IIM 4D’s build is centered around its latticed, 3D-printed midsole.
However, it also features a swath of other appealing design points. Knit uppers combine a light gray base with two types of yellow
accents: muted on the midfoot, vibrant on the toebox. This color scheme,
knit construction with a sock-like collar and perforations on the
quarter panels and forefoot offer slight shades of Kanye West‘s adidas YEEZY BOOST 380.
On the other hand, a wild lacing system that features embroidered
anchors and tubular detailing seems to pull inspiration from Y-3 styles like the Shiku or RUNNER 4D II. Midsoles present a significantly more trim look than most other 4D
sneakers, thanks in large part to a full-foot translucent TPU sheath
that brings stability to the upper and encases part of the footbed’s
latticed build. Dressed in a pale shade of yellow, the 4D midsole is
constructed using adidas’ proprietary Digital Light Synthesis tech,
which combines light and oxygen into a solid, supportive cushioning
setup. An interesting vertical tread pattern completes the look. A release date for the adidas IIM 4D in gray and yellow has yet
to be announced, but it’ll likely arrive towards the tail end of 2020 or
in the beginning of 2021. (hypebeast)

Tag Heuer Unveils 3rd Generation Connected Watch
Tag Heuer has announced the third generation of its luxury smartwatch,
featuring a more refined design and added sensors for sport and fitness.
It is available in stainless steel and titanium models with a 45mm
case, each with a rubberized crown and ceramic bezel. Its 1.4-inch OLED
touchscreen is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass. Like other
smartwatches it runs on Google’s Wear OS operating system and hooks up
to your phone to display notifications and messages. A new Tag Heuer
Sports app uses GPS plus heart rate, compass, accelerometer and
gyroscopic sensors for tracking sports including golf, running and
cycling. Activity from the watch can then be shared with services like
Strava, Google Fit and Apple Health. Tag Heur’s Connected also looks more like a traditional watch then
previous iterations. The company says it has taken cues from its classic
Carrera watches, resulting in a less chunky design. Tag Heuer has also
been able to make the watch physically smaller by hiding the antennas
underneath a new ceramic bezel, in addition to putting the screen closer
to the sapphire glass. The company was the first Swiss watchmaker to
embrace touchscreen smart technology, launching the original Tag Heuer
Connected in 2015. Jean-Claude Biver, then-president of the LVMH Watch
Division (Hublot, Zenith and Tag Heuer), said that by the end of 2016 it
had sold 56,000 units, triple the number predicted. A second version,
the Connected Modular 45, that allowed owners to switch between
connected and mechanical modules, a first for the Swiss industry, was
launched in 2017. The Tag Heuer Golf, that displayed satellite views of
more than 39,000 golf courses, launched last year. The
new Tag Heuer Connected comes in a variety of case, strap and bracelet
options, starting from $1,800. Additional straps and bracelets are also
available. (esquire)

Supercar Capsule
Supercar Capsule wants to create bespoke private showrooms and garages to display supercars right in its owners' homes. The
United Arab Emirates-based team's goal is to allow a customer's
supercar to have a "distinct aesthetic experience at home," according to
the company. Supercar Capsule can either design and construct separate
villas or towers to showcase the vehicles, or modify existing garages
and rooms in a home to turn a supercar into a piece of art meant to be
displayed as such. The Supercar Capsule team is comprised of a
group of engineers, designers, and architects. The bespoke garage
project and its concept was created by ASZarchitetti Group, which is the
collective of architecture firms ASZarchitetti and SUPERFUTUREDESIGN*.
Combined, the group has already created over 400 projects around the
world. The pricing of the capsule depends on what the client wants. However, a single glass showroom "pod" starts at $45,000. (businessinsider)

underneath the mainspring barrel at the 12 o’clock position. According

work and hundreds of operations with techniques perfected over two
centuries.” With only 18 samples made globally, the Quasar Light will go at a hefty price of $294,000 USD. (hypebeast)
