Spike Lee Air Jordan Son Of Mars Low Gym Red White Black Wolf Grey
Taking a break from its retro releases and special colorways, Jordan Brand recently released a new iteration of the Air Jordan Son Of Mars Low.
The latest take on Spike Lee‘s collaborative shoe draws from the bright red found on the “Toro” Air Jordan 4 to the highlight the design of the amalgam silhouette. Luxurious red nubuck leather dominates the upper and is accented by a black mudguard, lining and laces. While a Jumpman emblazoned heel tag, “Son of Mars” lace locks and a contrasting sole unit round up the design of the shoe.
Priced at $180 USD, the “Toro” Air Jordan Son Of Mars Low is available now at retailers like Footshop.

Last seen sporting a black/red/yellow tonal scheme, Nike keeps its Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 model moving forward with this eye-catching “Crimson Pulse” colorway option. The uppers feature the Swoosh brand’s signature Flyknit construction all throughout with a matching-hued heel counter sitting behind. Subtle hits of white landing on the side panel Swoosh and Air Max tongue branding provides tonal contrast, all of which sits atop a semi-translucent VaporMax cushioning unit.
Although no release date has yet been confirmed, you can expect this Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit 2.0 “Crimson Pulse” at select Nike retailers in the near future.
Nike Air Jordan 1 Air Jordan 11 Converse Collaboration Rumor Trainers Shoes Sneakers Kicks Michael Jordan Fastbreak basketball collaborations
According to reports, Converse and Jordan Brand are working on a collaborative release, with two classic Jordan silhouettes getting a rework. The relationship between the two brands goes back further than their shared Nike ownership, with Michael Jordan himself stepping out in a pair of Converse Fastbreaks in the 1984 Olympic final — this pair sold for a record $190,373 USD.
There’s no news yet on what to expect from the collaboration, although it is rumored to include the Air Jordan 1 and Air Jordan 11 silhouettes. There is also speculation about the format that the capsule will take, with suggestions that it could be a joint release — similar to last summer’s “Alumni Pack” — rather than an actual collaboration.

DOPE NEW WATCHES:

Casio G-SHOCK MR-G "Arashi-Tuchime" MRG-G2000HA release price purchase where to buy
The MR-G “Arashi-Tuchime” G2000HA-1A is the newest addition to Casio G-SHOCK‘s top-end lineage. This timepiece is created using a traditional Japanese hammering technique and made in collaboration with third generation master craftsman Biho Asano, who “individually hammered each bezel, resulting in an artistic, titanium sword guard finish on every watch.” Each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the textured hammer tone on the bezel, which boasts shades of copper and deep violet inspired by the murasaki-gane metal and suaka copper material.

The MR-G G2000HA-1A’s sapphire, crystal, and titanium case and band are created using a special hardening treatment that makes it several times stronger than regular titanium. The watch is solar-powered and has a three-way time sync automatically regulates via Bluetooth or GPS. Other standard G-SHOCK details include 200-meter water resistance, world time in 39 cities, LED super illuminator light, alarm clock, stopwatch, countdown timer, full auto calendar and more.

The Casio G-SHOCK MR-G “Arashi-Tuchime” G2000HA-1A retails for $7,400 USD and will be available beginning in July 2018 at select jewelers and at G-SHOCK Soho in New York City.
Jacob Co Twin Turbo Furious Watch Double Triple Axis Tourbillon Decimal Minute Repeater Chronograph Baselworld 2018
Jacob & Co. introduces the followup to its 2016 Twin Turbo, the Twin Turbo Furious. The carbon fiber titanium timepiece has an 88-part case with sapphire crystal dials and a red neoralithe inner ring near the “Jacob & Co.” logo. The Twin Turbo Furious features a 50-hour power reserve displayed at 6 o’clock between its twin high-speed tourbillons.

It is also regulated by two triple-axis tourbillon regulators to compensate gravity’s pull on the regulating organ that’s integrated with a mono-pusher chronograph. The stopwatch mechanism incorporates an original reference time indicator near the power display in minutes and seconds that users can set up on the crown. The pit board wheel then allows reading the variance in seconds — in relation to the reference time when timing events — as a nod to timekeeping panels used in motor racing from the side of the track. The Twin Turbo Furious also features a decimal repeater that chimes in ten-minute intervals past the hour.

With over 830 parts and 75 jewels, The Twin Turbo Furious will run you $554,195.25 USD.
Rolex Rainbow Daytona Everose Gold Ref 116595 release date info drop watch
Rolex is indisputably one of the most sought-after brands in the world of high-end timepieces, and its Cosmograph Daytona “Rainbow” may be the definitive collector’s item. Normally seen in yellow or white gold, the model has arrived in Everose, a warm shade that plays nicely with the rainbow-colored, sapphire-studded bezel. Eighteen-karat pink gold watch hands, matching 18k crystals and dozens of diamonds afford the watch even more sparkle — and an elevated price tag. Still, it’s nothing compared to the secondhand market, with experts recording secondhand “Rainbow” Daytonas trading for twice the price of retail.

Considering that the recent white gold “Rainbow” Daytona retailed for about $86,000 USD, expect this new iteration to go for even more.
Patek Philippe 5968A Aquanaut Chronograph Steel Watch Orange Black Rubber Straps Arabic Numerals Water Resistant 38,600 CHF $40,700 USD
After releasing the first-of-its-kind World Time Minute Repeater 5513R recently, Swiss watch maker Patek Philippe has now revealed another take on its Aquanaut model. The Aquanaut Chronograph Reference 5968a isn’t hugely different to previous models, but features a range of subtle updates.

The main new addition is a self-winding chronograph, which sits alongside functions including travel time and the classic time/date setting. Elsewhere, Patek Philippe have given the new watch — which comes with a stainless steel case — a variety of rubber strap options, including a bright orange design and a plain black version. Head over to the Patek Philippe web site for more information about the Aquanaut Chronograph Reference 5968a, with the model priced at 38,600 CHF (approx. $40,700 USD).
Rolex GMT Master II Everose Gold Watch Luxury Watches For Sale Pricing Availability Master 2 Rolex Batman
Rolex has unveiled its latest GMT-Master II watch, this time coming in an 18-karat Everose gold edition. The announcement was made at Baselworld, where the company also introduced the Rolesor watch in the same gold and Oystersteel. The GMT’s came with an updated caliber 3285, 40mm diameter face, black dial, and a bidirectional 24-hour scale Cerachrom bezel.

HODINKEE reports that it also comes with a Chronergy escapement, which allows for an upgraded power reserve to 70 hours from 50. There’s no release date for the GMT Master II Everose gold as of yet, but it will cost CHF 35,000 (approx. $37,000 USD).

Oceanco 115 Meter Tuhura Superyacht Dubai International Boat Show Mega Yacht Big Yacht Charter Super Mega Yacht For Hire Luxury Yacht
Oceanco has released its new super yacht, called the Tuhura. The vehicle, created in collaboration with Lobanov design studio, BMT Nigel Gee and Achille Salvagni, it looks to the past for its design inspiration. The exterior is modeled after canoes that were used by Polynesians. Igor Lobanov, from the eponymous studio, described the thinking behind the boat in a statement. “Our Tuhura is a simple idea. The thought was to take a natural shape similar to those seen in the earliest canoe-type craft and augment it multifold to a larger scale, using modern technology.”

The interior uses teak, gunmetal and bronze throughout while the engine is a hybrid Azipod CRP propulsion system. The system enables the vessel to move at speeds of up to 18 knots, an impressive speed for the 377-foot yacht. You can get more information about Oceanco’s Tuhura yacht from the company’s website.
ENATA Foiler Flying Yacht Marine Vehicles Luxury Boats
ENATA has created a new yacht, its latest addition to the company’s marine series. Called the Foiler, the intriguing aspect of this is that, at full height, it floats 1.5 metres off the sea, giving an effect some compare to flying. This is achieved by the carbon fiber hydrofoils, which are retractable if the user wishes to be closer to the sea’s surface.

The reason for this creation is to reduce the effect that choppy waters and turbulence has on the vehicle, an issue that has plagued traditional yachts. ENATA claims that this reduction also ensures that sea-sickness will be a thing of the past. Aside from this, the Foiler also focuses on reducing fuel consumption by utilising a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system. You can find out more information about the Foiler yacht by visiting ENATA’s website.
AeroMobil Flying Electric Car Concept
AeroMobil Flying Electric Car Concept
AeroMobil‘s fifth generation all-electric take-off and landing concept is an advancement from its predecessors, sporting a crossover SUV design with a wide nose and sleek frame. The AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL (vertical take-off landing) and the previously revealed 4.0 STOL (short take-off landing) are built for public service in urban populations, with the latter handling brief hops between cities, and the former for inner city transportation.

Both would be able to travel on land and in air, with the AeroMobil being able to use existing infrastructure to take off without a runway. Wings would extend from its sides with two larger rotors propelling the vehicle upwards while its rear-mounted propeller would provide acceleration. The four-door STOL has a prototype providing pre-service testing in New Zealand, and the VTOL is expected to sell to private owners starting in 2020.
