Impossible Foods Meat-Free Burger
Anytime you put meat-free and burger in the same sentence, people are going to be skeptical. Silicon Valley startup Impossible Foods is trying to sway that opinion with their plant-based substitute. By ditching the cows, these burgers use 95% less land, 74% less water, emit 87% less greenhouse gases and are free from hormones and antibiotics. Although it sounds too good to be true, these patties are just as juicy as the real thing. They're now available at Manhattan's Momofuku, and to demonstrate just how worthy these burgers are, the restaurants founder chef David Chang, executive chef Matt Rudofker, and CEO and founder of Impossible Foods Pat O. Brown get in the kitchen and cook one up right before your eyes.

Nike Air Max 95 Big Bubble Premium
Originally released in 1995, the Air Max 95 translated anatomy into footwear, with a midsole inspired by the spine, layered upper panels representing muscle fibers, and laces mimicking the ribs. The Air Max 95 Big Bubble Premium carries that unconventional design into the present with a mix of textile and synthetic leather reinforcing its signature wavy profile. Underfoot, oversized Max Air cushioning pairs with a foam midsole for lightweight comfort, while flex grooves encourage natural movement and a rubber outsole adds everyday durability. Thirty years after turning human anatomy into a running shoe, the Air Max 95 still looks unlike anything else on the pavement.
