The New England Confectionery Company, or Necco, has been kicking out the most popular Valentine's Day candy since 1901: Sweethearts. The little heart-shaped candies with the love-themed sayings are as ubiquitous on February 14th as flowers and chocolate, to the tune of over 2 billion per year. Refinery 29 goes to the heart of Valentine's Day for a behind-the-scenes look at how Necco creates its famous candy.
By day, Iceland is well-known for its rugged terrain and clear, stunning vistas. By night, that same harsh countryside softens into something almost alien — nearly unrecognizable from its daylit counterpart. The OZZO Photography crew captured Iceland under a full moon, and with a little help from the Northern Lights, presents a rarely seen side of the island nation.
El-P and Killer Mike took over NPR's Tiny Desk for a live show so big it almost didn't fit the room. The two comprise supergroup Run the Jewels, known for their scathing brand of activist hip-hop that has evolved to be louder and better with each album since 2013. The duo brought three songs from their latest EP RTJ3 to NPR's Washington, D.C. office for 11 of the best minutes from the hip-hop underground.
The Air Jordan 4 debuted in 1989 in classic colorways like White Cement and Bred. The latest release amps up the retro silhouette with a bold pallet. Its white leather upper is contrasted with vivid sulfur on the floating eye stays, padded collar, and sole details. Anthracite highlights the mesh details, while coconut milk on the heel and toe gives the sneaker a vintage effect. Available in women's sizes, the Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro Vivid Sulfur will drop on April 6, 2024.

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.

If you're going to set world speed records on a production mountain bike, you need a few things: A complete lack of fear, a good bike, and a very funny looking aerodynamic suit. Max Stöckl broke his own 2011 speed record, running down a 45° gravel slope in Chile's Atacama desert. Max topped just over 103 MPH on the run, breaking his old record of 102 MPH down the side of a volcano in Nicaragua.
Divisive times call for messages of togetherness. Nike brought together some of the biggest names in sports — Serena Williams, LeBron James, Victor Cruz, Megan Rapinoe, Kevin Durant — to remind everyone that the field only cares about how hard you try, and nothing else.

The 2017 Grammy Awards had some top-flight highs — Beyoncé — and ridiculous lows — technical difficulties on Adele's George Michael tribute and Metallica and Lady Gaga's duet. Sadly, they can't get it right even for the biggest night in music. But all that could almost be forgiven when the Weeknd and Daft Punk took the stage for a medley of "Starboy" and "I Feel It Coming". From the epic sci-fi set design to the Weeknd's perfect performance, they nearly stole the show.
