If you grew up in the 90s, you know about the Lo. Ralph Lauren's Polo brand was ubiquitous — jeans, shirts, sweaters, hoodies. You couldn't take a step anywhere almost in America without seeing the polo player logo looking back at you. So how did a designer brand go from Fith Avenue to America at large? The Lo Lifes. This New York City boosting gang made a logo into a culture. Watch how it happened in this short documentary narrated by one of the gang's founders.
It's the 80s undercover operation you've never heard — the attempt to take down Pablo Escobar with a Pablo Escobar look-alike. Needless to say, it didn't go well. This bad lip reading presents an alternate, and far less successful, take on the Netflix series Narcos.
Luca Faloni's Classic Denim Shirt gives a refined Italian treatment to one of menswear's most dependable staples. Made in Northern Italy from robust 100% Italian cotton denim, the shirt pairs a clean button-up silhouette with a signature Paramontura one-piece collar, Australian mother-of-pearl buttons, and a rounded hem. It's pre-washed to prevent future shrinkage and available in slim or regular fits, making it equally suited to wearing on its own or layered through the seasons. Available in six colors, the Classic Denim Shirt brings Luca Faloni's understated approach to a piece that needs little embellishment to work almost anywhere.

The city becomes a concrete playground with the Nike Ava Edge, navigating everything from morning commutes on crowded sidewalks to late night rooftop bars and adventures. Inspired by the geometry and interconnected grid networks of modern cities, the upper layers are formed by weaving textiles with breathable mesh netting to create a flexible and protective fit around the foot. An oversized midsole uses performance-level SCF foam for soft cushioning through long days on concrete, while a flexible, perforated rubber outsole wraps onto the midsole for added durability and leaves a distinctive imprint behind with every step. Combining technical construction with an urban-focused silhouette, the Ava Edge takes the active lifestyle of the Ava lineup off the running route and into the everyday rhythm of the city.

Living on top of the world does strange things to people — just as the residents of Longyearbyen, the northernmost city on Earth. You don't want to be buried in Longyearbyen. The permafrost makes for shallow graves, and bodies sometimes come back up again. And as the Earth warms, the thawing permafrost is wreaking havoc, causing the Global Seed Vault to flood, and potentially releasing ancient pathogens into the atmosphere.
