/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Ever since the debut of the Disney+ season of The Mandalorian, it has been clear that the breakout star is Baby Yoda. Ahead of the New York Toy Fair, Hasbro has revealed that an animatronic version of the little green guy will be made available for $60 USD.

The lifelike toy is a plush figure that will include over 25 sounds and motions and will even raise it’s arm as if it’s using the force just like on the show. The bassinet that it hovers in will not be included, however, it will take a “force nap” whenever you lay it down.

/ StaFFF / 1 Comment

Supreme has had a good week thus far with big announcements from the skate brand’s new Nike Air Force 1 collab to the Box Logo branded Oreos. Now, to add to their SS20 release, the streetwear brand is offering free ponchos to go along with the the season’s first drop.

First shown on Supreme’s Instagram account earlier this week, it seems that this marketing idea is a pretty good one as it has garnered much positive attention. As if free ponchos weren’t enough, a variety of stickers will be added as well.

‘Breaking Bad’ & K-Swiss Collab for ‘Cooking And Cleaning’ Footwear Collection

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

Breaking Bad and K-Swiss are teaming up on a collaborative partnership that draws inspiration from key themes from the show: “Cooking,” “Cleaning” and “Recreational Vehicle” (released earlier).

The “Cooking” theme is inspired by the yellow hazmat suits that Walter White and Jesse Pinkman wore when they were cooking up their special “hot sellers.” The shoe features a white Classic 2000 as the base, and it’s upper is a yellow ripstop sheath that automatically makes you think of the iconic hue being synonymous with the show. There is also a throat zipper and a grey/pink heel buckle along with Breaking Bad branding.

Next we have the “Cleaning” theme in which Walt and Jesse ditched their small operation to move into Gustavo’s super advanced lab. The shape and silhouette are basically the same, minus the yellow being swapped out for a rubberized orange which is where the nod to Gus’ advanced lab comes into play.

Lastly we have “Recreational Vehicle,” which is a re-release that debuted in 2019. This shoe gives off retro vibes with the overall cream color and stripes inspired by Jesse Pinkman’s stolen RV and comes packaged in a special shoe box with bullet hole graphics

Purchase the entire Breaking Bad x K-Swiss Classic collection at Foot Locker on February 20. The price point for this collaboration ranges from $80-90 USD.

Supreme is set to release a collection of Box Logo inspired products to coincide with it’s Spring/ Summer 2020 collection and with that, there is apparently an Oreo collaboration in the works.

The Supreme/ Oreo collab will come in packs of three with the packaging drawing inspiration from Supreme’s Futura font in iconic red and white branding. The package resembles the Box Logo merged with the famous Oreo logo.

Elon Musk And Bill Gates Engage In Billionaire Beef?

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

It seems that Bill Gates and Elon Musk may have some tension brewing as the Tesla mogul took to Twitter earlier to let us know that his recent conversations with Gates have been “underwhelming.” He doesn’t really go into detail about why his talks with the Microsoft head have been so stale but Business Insider seems to think it has something to do with Gates buying an electric Porsche instead of a Tesla.

In an interview with popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, Gates described his new purchase of a Porsche Taycan as a “very, very cool” vehicle. The price point for the vehicle starts at $103,800 and is the first all-electric car from the German manufacturer.

Tesletter, Tesla’s unofficial newsletter tweeted,

“I’m disappointed because a lot of people are going to watch the interview and they are going to trust Bill’s word for it and not even consider EVs. Why? Because Bill Gates is a really smart guy!”
