The Physics of Flip Tricks
Imagine a world without physics and you'd have a world without skating. Physics is much more than just your least favorite course, and deserves more respect than it gets for making the thrash possible.

The James Brand has spent years refining modern knives, pens and tools—now it turns that same precision to one of the most essential everyday objects—the wallet. CNC-machined from aluminum, the Lowe is built to reset the standard, staying impossibly slim while carrying everything you need in your pocket. The aluminum shell naturally blocks RFID and is wrapped in a molded silicone band for cash or overflow tokens, giving the Lowe just enough flex without compromising its minimal geometry. It's a study in restraint, crafted for those who demand function in its purest form.

The Jordan Trunner has always lived at the intersection of performance and possibility. First introduced in the late '90s, it was the Jordan brand's bold step beyond basketball—a slip-on cross-trainer with midfoot straps, layered uppers, and a design language that looked more like the future than the present. The latest Trunner carries that same DNA, fusing breathable mesh and suede for flexibility, molded wings for support, and responsive foam for all-day comfort. Still versatile, still unmistakable, the Trunner remains the rare shoe built to keep pace with training while doubling as a lifestyle staple grounded in Jordan's restless drive forward.

During a game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver Ryan Smith scored a touchdown after pulling off an insane catch without ever looking at the ball. Although the catch is pretty incredible, the quarterback's Jedi passing skills that put the ball right in Smith's arms are the real highlight.
