To capture the feel of the footage in sound, Morton used instruments from the beginning of the electronic era — specifically a reissue Moog 3C synthesizer. Morton talks about his creative process for creating the music, and how the instruments were as inspiring as the film.

Don't let your tie be an afterthought. Don't go digging for that kitschy hand-me-down your dad not-so-kindly bestowed upon you — stock up on stylish, timeless, Italian-made ties from Aklasu instead. Alaksu's assortment of silk ties come in several finishes: grenadine, six-fold, and shantung. Grenadine, a weave known for its light, gauze-like feel, is a traditional Italian weave long associated with James Bond — stretching all the way back to when Sean Connery assumed the role. Somewhat forgotten by most men nowadays, picking it is an easy way to stand out from the crowd — and for the right reason, too, not because your tie has dogs or tiny beers on it. Whether you want an orange, blue, black, or burgundy tie, Aklasu likely offers it, and with the right proportions and fit.

An ode to Nike's original innovator, Bill Bowerman, who developed sneakers while Phil Knight ran the business, the new Nike Pegasus 41 Blueprint features nods to the former's efforts to always push the boundaries of what was possible, especially at the time. And now you can, too, whether you're committed to a high-mileage plan or you tackle your low-lift runs on cruise control. "Bowerman Prototype" reads on the tongue tag and the insole, while the speckled Swoosh logo represents the unfinished nature of the design. This release is fully-fledged, though, with its featherweight mesh upper for better mobility and breathability, new dual Air Zoom units and a ReactX foam midsole for improved energy return, all built around the MR-10 Last, the most consistent in terms of sizing. These sneakers do manage to look back and ahead at the same time, though, by spotlighting the signature waffle outsole developed by Bowerman and pledging commitment to Nike's Move to Zero campaign, which ensures all new products use some ratio of recycled materials from post-consumer and/or post-manufactured waste.
