SolarCity
Ta'u has an electricity problem. Located in American Samoa, the island has been using diesel generators to produce energy for its grid — at massive cost. Each generator burns approximately 110,000 gallons of fuel per year, and shipping anything to the remote location is expensive. Tesla partnered with the island to build a solar generating plant that fulfills all the islands needs, and is one of the most advanced electrical grids in the world.

Nike Tennis Classic RPM
Nike revisits its court heritage with the Tennis Classic RPM, reworking the country club staple through the lens of 1970s tennis culture and modern streetwear. The silhouette retains its low-profile shape while introducing textured uppers inspired by vintage watchbands and luxury accessories, giving the shoe a more layered look across the toe box and side panels. Gold detailing sharpens the contrast against the black full-grain leather construction. Underneath, layered cushioning and a foam midsole provide a responsive ride, while a stitched rubber cupsole and herringbone outsole maintain the traction and durability expected from a court shoe. Equally suited for early mornings at the tennis courts of Santa Monica and late nights through Chicago's streets, balancing classic sport design with an elevated but casual presence.

24 Hours at the World's Best BBQ

Andrew loves it so much, he spent 24 hours working there, and documented the entire day.
How China Is Changing Hollywood
With strict guidelines and restrictions on foreign films, obtaining a piece of China's box office revenue is no easy feat. Studios can either share their revenue, co-produce with a Chinese company, or pay a flat-rate fee to get their films through, but the country still only allows 34 films in. To ensure their films make it on the screens, Hollywood will change locations, characters, and even scripts to depict China in a positive light.
