The Air Jordan 1 Mid SE ‘Lightbulb’ colorway was revealed back in January with many wondering when they would officially drop. We now have the latest look at these Air Jordan 1 Mids for women.

The women’s Air Jordan 1 Mid ‘Lightbulb’ will come in an assortment of colors seen throughout the uppers. The palette for these vibrant 1’s include white, neon green, pink, purple, blue, orange, yellow, and black. Along with the assortment of colors on this silhouette, there seems to be an equal number of materials used also such as leather, nubuck, suede, hairy suede, patent leather, and mesh. This silhouette also appears to have a more deconstructed look as opposed to the normal construction of Air Jordan 1’s. Rounding out the details are the Jumpman branding on the tongues and the collar featuring the iconic Wings branding.

Retailing for $190, these Air Jordan 1 Mid WMNS SE Lightbulb are scheduled to release on April 9th at select Nike retailers.

Sony Reveals New PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller

After Microsoft revealed its next-gen gaming system in the Xbox Series X, many people have been impatiently waiting for Sony to unveil what they’ve been working on. The wait is over as we at least have images of the Sony PlayStation 5 controller. Introduced as the DualSense controller, this device goes in a different direction than the normal DualShock controllers and capitalizes on the trail that the DualShock 4 for PS4 has blazed.

The haptic feedback function of this wireless controller will utilize the sense of touch when playing video games. This means that the controller will react to certain situations during gameplay. The L2 and R2 will come equipped with adaptive triggers for better tension when playing shooters where you have to draw your weapon. To make the DualSense feel smaller, the hand triggers and grip have been slightly updated as well. One major advantage of this updated controller is the fact that the battery life will improve despite all the new features.

The “Share” button has been replaced by the “Create” button and a built-in microphone has also been added. Sony plans to share more information on these new additions as more hardware news is announced.

As far as cosmetics goes, PlayStation has opted for a two-toned white and black color scheme which is far different than past design of just one solid color. This final design is the result of several concepts and hundreds of mockups over the last few years.

Take a look at the images above and check back with us for more info.

Fear of God’s collaboration with Ermenegildo Zegna has emerged courtesy of images by Tommy Ton. This collection is scheduled to release in September 2020, meshing together two respected fields of fashion in FOG’s boundary-pushing American aesthetics and Zegna’s flair for detail and masterful Italian tailoring.

In alarming news, hackers were able to take over users’ webcams and microphones on Apple Macs, MacBooks, iPads and iPhones. Ryan Pickren, a security researcher, found the bugs and stated that they were grouped together and sent in the form of a link which tricks the Safari browser into giving up control of the webcam and mic.

Wired has states that hackers can secretly launch the user’s webcam and microphone and in turn, record video, audio, and even create photos. Apple has thus rewarded the researcher a $75,000 USD bug bounty and also patched the bugs through its January and March updates. An important note is if users have not updated their Apple products (in January or March), then they may still be left vulnerable for any further attacks.
