Sculpting with Sneakers
There's a lot of old sneakers in the world. Artist Gary Lockwood is putting them to good use. Gary makes masks — stormtroopers, gas masks, and other fanciful creations — from old shoes, and gives a new meaning to the word sneakerhead in the process.
Defy the Monstars

Velocity Ford Bronco Blackout
Velocity's 1976 Ford Bronco Blackout pairs vintage attitude with modern muscle. Finished in Arabian Gray with blacked-out badging, bumpers, and a family-style roll cage, it makes an unmistakable first impression. Inside, upgraded leather and a Pioneer touchscreen with Apple CarPlay add comfort and tech, while a Gen III 5.0L Coyote V8 and 10-speed automatic deliver 460 horsepower. Wilwood brakes, coil spring suspension, and 17-inch Method Race Wheels complete a build that turns every drive into a statement.

The Grand Tour Race Toy Cars
The Grand Tour hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May love cars — but the ones they're used to are a little bit bigger.

Johammer J1
Electric motorcycles are nothing new. There are several on the market, and have easily outdone automobiles in bringing zero-emissions vehicles to the masses.

Nike Vaporfly 4
Nike takes a page from Colin Chapman's playbook—simplify, then add lightness—with the Vaporfly 4. The marathon-ready racer is newly reengineered with an updated carbon fiber Flyplate and featherweight ZoomX foam, delivering maximum propulsion with every stride. A steeper heel-to-toe drop pushes you forward, while trimmed weight in the midsole, upper, and outsole keeps the shoe fast without compromise. The result: the same cushioned ZoomX responsiveness at a fraction of the weight, built to carry you past the finish line strides ahead of the competition.

All World Maps are Wrong
In the 16th century, Gerardus Mercator created the Mercator projection map. The projection is great for navigating sailing ships using simple tools like a compass, but it fails hard when it comes to representing size — the island of Greenland is nowhere close to being as big as Africa. Vox looks at the difficulties in making a sphere into a flat plane, and why making an accurate map is mathematically impossible.
