Boba Fett made Mandalorian jetpacks notorious for accidental activation in Return of the Jedi, a flaw that Hacksmith Industries hopefully fixed in their latest build. While not functional, this DIY recreation of the Mandalorian's jetpack from the Disney TV series does shoot flames and is a dead ringer for the real thing.

Highlight plays. High-flying dunks. Ankle-breaking crossovers. Brutal blocks. Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant can do it all — and in style. Now, you can wear his signature on-court kicks, too, the Nike Ja 1, a mid-top sneaker with a bouncy forefoot Air Zoom unit for when you're taking off, a cushioned midsole for when you land, a foam collar so you don't roll an ankle, and plenty of grip and a forefoot strap so you can easily break others'. Subtle touches like Ja's custom 12 a.m. graphic, handwritten signature, hand-drawn logo, and jersey number add a truly custom feel, even if this player exclusive is up for grabs to everyone to wear their own way. These do, however, fit a bit small — so size a half-size up for the best fit and performance.

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.
