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.
No one takes Blake Griffin's court. Not even the greatest superteam of animated monsters of all time. Griffin and Jimmy Butler are on a mission to take back the court, with a little help from Footlocker, Nike, and Bugs Bunny.
Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.

Over the past 35 years, Golden Krust has grown from a single restaurant in the Bronx to a Caribbean-owned Goliath with over 120 locations in North America. Now they're partnering with Vita Coco on a special deal to celebrate tropical flavors. Through June 30th, guests can add a Vita Coco drink — Juice or Original — to their order for just $1 with the purchase of one of the chain's signature jerk chicken meals. By pairing the refreshingly sweet coconut drink with savory, spicy, and slow-cooked jerk, it's a great summer treat.

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. While the racing isn't exactly fast and furious, the finer points of zero-emissions are discussed, with environmentalist Jeremy Clarkson a big fan of the little electric cars.
Electric motorcycles are nothing new. There are several on the market, and have easily outdone automobiles in bringing zero-emissions vehicles to the masses. But the Johammer J1 looks to be the Tesla of the electric motorcycle market — not just a standard frame with batteries and electric motors, but a complete reimaging of the motorcycle as we know it.
With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

Collars & Co. got its start making polos masquerading as dress shirts. While they look good under jackets, the performance polos look equally as good under that most versatile of pieces, the quarter-zip pullover. Equally as suitable for a chilly morning round of golf as a breezy sunset dinner, they come in a variety of styles, including reversible styles, stretchy, wrinkle-resistant golf models, cashmere and merino blends, and even cable-knit offerings for cooler weather. No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.

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.
