Blade Runner set the visual tone for cyberpunk that's lasted for almost 40 years.

Before running shoes became lifestyle staples, they were built with one purpose: logging miles. Nike revisits that era with the P-6000, a silhouette inspired by the Pegasus 25 and Pegasus 2006 that brings early-2000s running design back into everyday rotation. Layered mesh, genuine leather, and synthetic overlays create the technical look that defined the period, while a foam midsole delivers the comfort expected from a modern sneaker. Underfoot, a durable rubber outsole provides dependable traction whether navigating city streets, airport terminals, or weekend coffee runs. The P-6000 captures the grit of early performance footwear while fitting naturally into today's wardrobe.
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity.

Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.
