/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

The Air Jordan 1 Low, Mid and High has quietly positioned itself as one of the top silhouettes as of late. The colorways that have come out can only be rivaled by the likes of an Air Force 1 or Nike Dunk as far as variety goes, especially with the upcoming release of these Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Galaxy.’

Summer 2020 proves to be the season of hot releases despite the COVID-19 pandemic pushing some sneakers back. If the schedule remains the same then we might also be seeing these Air Jordan 1 Low ‘Galaxy’ models in the coming months. This silhouette features a Galaxy theme filled with vibrant colors and lightning graphics seen throughout the heel, swoosh and toe box areas. Finishing off the details, and one of the standout features, happens to be the leather which resembles snake skin fabrications on the toe box leading to eyelets.

Take a look at the images above and catch the Air Jordan 1 ‘Galaxy’ at Nike.com in the coming months.

Clare Waight Keller Leaves Givenchy

Clare Waight Keller, Artistic Director of Givenchy, has just announced her departure from the fashion house. Keller was the first woman AD at the French luxury brand in which one of the British designer’s notable accomplishments was being able to dress Meghan Markle for her royal wedding in 2018. Her last offering ended with the women’s Fall/Winter 2020 presentation in March.

Keller is the former Chloé creative director and stylist and joined Givenchy in 2017 when creative director Riccardo Tisci (currently at Burberry) left. Keller’s duties included overhauling the label’s fashion output, scents, accessories and footwear. She spent three years making the house’s menswear, womenswear and accessories line what it is today.

I want to warmly thank Clare Waight Keller for her contribution to Givenchy’s latest chapter. Under her creative leadership, and in great collaboration with its ateliers and teams, the Maison reconnected with the founding values of Hubert de Givenchy and his innate sense of elegance. I wish Clare all the best in her future endeavors.

Sidney Toledano, Chairman and CEO of LVMH Fashion Group

No word on Givenchy’s replacement nor Keller’s future plans.

Is Apple Releasing Over-the-Ear Headphones In June 2020?

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

According to Jon Prosser, who also leaked that a 14-inch MacBook pro is dropping in May 2020, we will soon see over-the-ear headphones from Apple as well. Prosser took to Twitter to announce the findings which one can assume that, if this is true, then it may be the end of the Beats headphones line.

Apple acquired Beats back in 2014 from Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine for a staggering $3 billion USD. The tech company has since been offering Beats products to employees for 40% off to clear inventory, further advancing their Apple/AirPods product line.

Prosser further states that the over-the-ear headphones, codenamed B515, will be compared to the Bose 700 and will launch with a price point of $350 USD during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

LVMH recently announced that it will supply French authorities with 40 million masks. They were able to do that by securing the order from a manufacturer in China. Due to the recent acquisition of masks, Louis Vuitton is now in the process of making hundreds of thousands of non-surgical face masks. Louis Vuitton will repurpose it’s workshops in France, specifically in Marsaz, Saint-Donat, Saint-Pourçain, Ducey and Sainte-Florence. 300 artisans have been activated to increase production of alternative masks to aid in the relief of the COVID-19 pandemic and assist and protect healthcare workers and professionals.

As an important French House, Louis Vuitton wishes to commit at its level to producing many thousands of masks that will be distributed within the region, at no charge, to protect those who are most exposed. This production is the fruit of a wonderful collaboration with the regional sector of the textile industry.

Sony Reveals New PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller

/ StaFFF / Leave a comment

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.
