This season, Blauer elevates its technical apparel to support active city lifestyles. As captured in its latest campaign, featuring UK music artists DYLAN, Cassyette, and Ben Kidson, the new collection aims to provide contemporary style without sacrificing core functionality.

In contrast to last season’s rugged, outdoors-ready clothing, the Fall/Winter 2026 range takes on a sharper look throughout its four lines: B Department, B Essential, B Project, and B. Urban Police. A staple for the cooler months, the down jacket is reworked in new ways, including a casual wave-quilted jacket, a thermoregulating graphene version, and a unique semi-transparent ripstop piece with visible feathers.

To accentuate the sleek aesthetic, the brand also delivers leather jackets in biker, pilot, and military-inspired cuts. The varied silhouettes adapt Blauer’s heritage styles with washed treatments and a versatile color palette of “Black Ink,” “London Fog,” “Total Eclipse,” and “Peat.” For much-needed winter layering, these jackets drop alongside ribbed jumpers and polo knits.

Elsewhere, the new collection also features a special edition B.Cortina capsule. Designed more specifically for mountain escapes, the range offers thermal jackets and a coordinated outerwear set, both adorning a Queen of the Dolomites-inspired print.

You can now check out the pieces in the new campaign lensed by Bryan Adams. Adopting Blauer’s signature black-and-white aesthetic, he frames the contemporary feel of the garments while highlighting the cast’s unmistakable individuality.

Shop Blauer’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection on its website and at select stockists worldwide.

Name: Salomon XT-6 PROTECTIVE & XT-WHISPER GTX BILLY’s Exclusives
Colorway: Stormy Weather/Dark Navy/Trooper, Grisaille/Dark Navy/Black
SKU: TBC
MSRP: ¥26,400 - ¥29,700 JPY (approx. $167 - $188 USD)
Release Date: October 23
Where to Buy: BILLY’s Tokyo

Salomon continues to blur the lines between rugged outdoor performance and urban streetwear with a newly unveiled footwear capsule arriving exclusively at BILLY'S. The drop reimagines two of the French brand's most celebrated technical silhouettes - the XT-6 PROTECTIVE and the XT-WHISPER GORE-TEX - in mood-evoking, weather-ready colorways. Designed to adapt effortlessly to both city streets and unpredictable natural environments, the collection beautifully balances cutting-edge utility with a sophisticated.

The XT-6 PROTECTIVE takes the darker, more utilitarian route, replacing the model’s usual technical mesh emphasis with a ripstop upper inspired by workwear. Its "Stormy Weather" base reads as a muted blue-grey, overlaid with pale Trooper green-grey SensiFit lines that trace the sidewalls and toe before giving way to Dark Navy and black around the heel and heavily lugged sole. The matte ripstop surface and tonal overlays give the shoe a more protective, uniform-like character, while black Quicklace cords and oversized Salomon branding add sharper contrast. Underfoot, EVA cushioning softens the ride, with durable TPU film reinforcing the slim layered construction.

The XT-WHISPER GORE-TEX offers a lighter visual counterpoint in "Grisaille/Dark Navy/Black," pairing pale grey technical mesh with flowing navy overlays and metallic silver-white accents that emphasize the silhouette’s distinctive wave-like lines. The silhouette specifically highlights the interplay between matte and glossy finishes, which creates extra depth across the layered upper, while a visible GORE-TEX tab signals the shoe’s weather-resistant construction. A wavy SensiFit structure works with the Quicklace system to wrap the foot securely, complemented by an OrthoLite insole and a black-and-off-white trail outsole that grounds the cooler palette.

BEAMS is reissuing MAMMUT’s Serac Extreme Jacket as a limited special edition built closely on the original designThe updated shell uses GORE-TEX and pairs a large MAMMUT logo on one sleeve with BEAMS embroidery on the otherA sweatshirt and cap arrive alongside the jacket to complete the release

MAMMUT and BEAMS are reviving the Swiss outdoor brand’s Serac Extreme Jacket through the “SERAC EXTREME JACKET BEAMS SPECIAL,” a limited reissue that stays faithful to the original while folding in present-day performance and BEAMS-exclusive touches. The shell carries real expedition credentials, having protected climber Stephan Siegrist through harsh conditions during his December 1995 push into the peaks of Patagonia.

The jacket’s pattern sticks closely to the first-generation Serac Extreme, keeping the overall shape that earned it a reputation in alpine circles. Rather than chase a full redesign, the reissue upgrades what sits beneath the surface, with a GORE-TEX build bringing the waterproof, weather-blocking protection expected from a modern hardshell.

Branding is split across the sleeves to reflect the partnership. An oversized MAMMUT logo runs along the left arm, while the right sleeve carries embroidered BEAMS lettering, giving each label its own side of the jacket without crowding the body.

Some of the most considered details sit on the inside. The lining features a special “EIGER STORY LABEL” produced for this edition, joined by a revived MAMMUT brand label that nods to the jacket’s original era. The launch also includes a sweatshirt and a cap, extending the reissue beyond outerwear for those who want the look in lighter layers.

The MAMMUT x BEAMS “SERAC EXTREME JACKET BEAMS SPECIAL,” along with the accompanying sweatshirt and cap, drops on Friday, October 23 at select BEAMS stores and via the BEAMS online store.

Name: Nike “Plaid Pack”
MSRP: ￥17,600 - ￥29,700 JPY (approx. $111 - $188 USD)
Release Date: October 22
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike brings a cold-weather twist to four women’s classics with its new “Plaid Pack,” comprising the Air Force 1 Low, Air Max 90, Air Max Plus and Shox TL. A red tartan pattern - woven with black, white and touches of yellow - runs throughout the collection, set against predominantly black foundations for a distinctly autumnal, punk-leaning effect. The Air Force 1 Low “Black/Tough Red/White/Black” takes the most restrained approach, using smooth black leather across the toe, eyestays and Swoosh while inserting plaid textile into the quarter panels and heel tab, all grounded by a completely black sole unit.

The Air Max 90 “Black/Tough Red/Yellow Ochre/Team Red” adds more material contrast, combining black mesh and fuzzy suede-like overlays with deep Team Red TPU eyelets and Swooshes; tartan appears prominently around the collar and rear, bringing pattern into the silhouette without overwhelming its familiar layered construction.

The Air Max Plus “Tough Red/White/Yellow Ochre/Black” pushes the plaid motif furthest, wrapping much of the upper in red tartan beneath its signature black TPU cage. Glossy black mudguards and sculpted black Air tooling give the pair a harder technical edge, while small Yellow Ochre details on the outsole add an unexpected warm accent beneath the otherwise dark build.

Meanwhile, the Shox TL “Black/Tough Red/Yellow Ochre/Black” uses the same plaid textile beneath a black skeletal cage, paired with glossy black Shox columns and a dark leather heel for the most overtly Y2K treatment of the four. Together, the pack balances collegiate tartan with Nike’s archival sportswear shapes, giving each model a different ratio of pattern, texture and blacked-out hardware.

Summary

Marina Abramović reflects on memory, creativity and personal philosophy in Long Life, Short Stories.The illustrated volume blends drawings, anecdotes and introspection.Published by Rizzoli Electa, the 224-page book is priced at $65 USD.

Marina Abramović turns inward for Long Life, Short Stories, a new illustrated volume that reframes one of performance art’s most uncompromising careers through memories, drawings and personal reflection. The book unfolds as what its publisher, Rizzoli Electa, describes as part sketchbook, part diary and part personal philosophy, moving through subjects including love, sex, loss, fear, nature, ancestry, creativity, dreams and even love spells. The fragmented format feels particularly suited to an artist whose practice has long used lived experience as material, offering a more intimate counterpart to the endurance, vulnerability and physical risk that have defined her public work.

Published as Abramović celebrates her 80th birthday in 2026, the book arrives at another significant point in a career that helped establish performance art as a major contemporary discipline. Since emerging in the early 1970s, the Serbia-born artist has repeatedly tested the physical and psychological boundaries between performer and audience, from early works including Rhythm 0 and Rhythm 5 to her landmark 2010 Museum of Modern Art retrospective The Artist Is Present. Long Life, Short Stories approaches that history from a deliberately different angle. Original drawings created for the publication sit alongside direct, often humorous accounts and philosophical observations, revealing some of the emotional and psychological terrain behind works more commonly discussed through ideas of endurance, time, presence and bodily limits.

The book is less a chronological autobiography than a loosely assembled map of Abramović’s inner world, shifting between the mystical, provocative and unexpectedly everyday while allowing personal episodes to sit alongside broader reflections on creativity and human connection. It also adds a more private dimension to a milestone year that includes major projects surrounding her 80th birthday, including a large-scale presentation at New York’s Park Avenue Armory.

Marina Abramovic: Long Life, Short Stories spans 224 pages in hardcover and is priced at $65 USD via Rizzoli. Abramović will also mark the release at Rizzoli Bookstore in New York on October 29 with a conversation alongside Michèle Lamy centered on artistic freedom, the expressive possibilities of the body and a life spent creating beyond convention.

Summary

Acqua di Parma unveils its Holiday 2026 collection, designed with Italian artist Agostino Iacurci.Inspired by the fictional Grand Hotel Sprezzatura, the collection features sculptural ceramics, festive fragrances and an Advent Calendar.Prices range from $65 to $1,022 USD.

For this holiday season, Acqua di Parma is inviting guests to check into the fictional Grand Hotel Sprezzatura, an imaginative alpine retreat where Italian hospitality, theatrical storytelling and festive fragrance converge. Celebrating its 110th anniversary, the Italian fragrance house has collaborated with multidisciplinary artist Agostino Iacurci to create a colorful visual universe inspired by the Dolomites and the effortless elegance of sprezzatura, the Italian art of making even the most elaborate gestures appear natural.

Drawing on the theatrical traditions of Commedia dell'Arte, Iacurci imagines a cast of hotel characters whose personalities unfold through bold geometric compositions. Inspired by the modular logic of Tangram puzzles, his illustrations combine architectural facades, mountain silhouettes, expressive masks and playful human figures, transforming the collection's packaging into a series of interconnected visual stories. Rendered in vibrant yellows, oranges, blues and earthy tones, the designs reinterpret Acqua di Parma's signature aesthetic through a festive, surrealist lens, capturing the warmth and eccentricity of an imaginary Italian mountain getaway.

At the heart of the collection is a series of limited-edition Masterpiece objects named after the hotel's fictional protagonists, Alfredo, Clementina and Tobia. Handcrafted and painted in Tuscany, the ceramic creations encompass refillable fragrance bottles, candles and diffusers, distinguished by stacked geometric forms, sculptural finials and character-inspired silhouettes. Produced in editions of just 200 pieces, each object bears Iacurci's signature alongside the Maison's branding. The wider holiday assortment introduces seasonal home fragrances in Bosco, Panettone and Torrone, evoking the atmosphere of an Italian winter through references to woodland landscapes and traditional festive sweets.

Candles and diffusers arrive in decorated glass vessels featuring distressed gold-leaf detailing, while three signature fragrances - Colonia Il Profumo, Buongiorno and Zafferano - receive special Designer Edition packaging. A particularly elaborate highlight is the Advent Calendar, reimagined as a miniature Grand Hotel Sprezzatura with stacked cylindrical architecture, opening windows and illustrations of snowy trees, alpine scenery and eccentric hotel guests. Additional gift sets span the Colonia, Blu Mediterraneo, Buongiorno and Signatures of the Sun collections, offering a selection of fragrances, candles and personal care essentials.

Extending beyond fragrance, the Holiday 2026 collection introduces two Italian-made design objects under Acqua di Parma's Art of Living line. The Olé Pocket Comb & Mirror pairs tortoiseshell resin accessories with a tan calfskin leather charm and signature yellow resin sphere, while the Decidi Tu Polyhedric Glass Object is crafted from mouth-blown borosilicate glass and designed for multiple uses, including holding stick candles, matches or fragrance diffuser reeds.

Prices range from $65 USD for the 70-gram Bosco Candle to $1,022 USD for the Advent Calendar. Explore the Acqua di Parma Holiday 2026 collection via its physical boutiques and official website now.

Summary

Paulin and Hodinkee rework the Mara with a vintage-inspired gilt dial and aged lume.The limited edition uses a slimmer 11.8mm case and Miyota 9039 automatic movement.Limited to 250 pieces, it is priced at $1,000 USD.

Paulin and Hodinkee have teamed up on a limited edition of the Mara, revisiting the Glasgow watchmaker’s first dive watch through the lens of mid-century tool watches. Founded in 2013 and operating alongside sister brand anOrdain, Paulin has built its identity around expressive color, typography and playful modern design, but the Mara Limited Edition for Hodinkee takes a deliberately more archival direction. Its 39.7mm stainless-steel cushion case retains the architecture of the standard Mara, while the dial trades Paulin’s usual geometric markers for classic diver indices, warm gilt accents and antiqued Super-LumiNova inspired by the black-and-gold dive watches of the 1950s and early ’60s.

The defining feature is its genuine galvanic gilt dial, produced using a traditional process rather than simply printing gold-colored details onto a black surface. Each brass dial is first electroplated in gold before the minute track, logos and lettering are masked with a chemical resist; a subsequent galvanic treatment turns the exposed areas matte black, leaving the underlying gold visible through the markings. Paulin then hand-paints the hour markers with aged-tone Super-LumiNova to match the hands and bezel scale. Other period-minded touches include the meters-first depth rating, a gilt Hodinkee signature at 4 o’clock and Paulin’s custom Wim typeface, while a dark grey 120-click bezel uses a double-domed sapphire insert. A black-and-grey striped NATO strap with a Hodinkee-signed buckle completes the vintage-informed treatment.

Inside, the collaboration swaps the Swiss movement used by the standard production Mara for a Miyota 9039 automatic calibre, providing a 42-hour power reserve while helping slim the case from 13.5mm to 11.8mm. Water resistance has correspondingly been reduced from 300 meters to a still practical 100 meters, creating proportions closer to vintage skin divers while retaining modern features including sapphire construction and a screw-down crown.

Limited to 250 individually numbered pieces, the Paulin Mara Limited Edition for Hodinkee is priced at $1,000 USD and is available for pre-order through Hodinkee and Watches of Switzerland, with deliveries expected to begin in mid-November 2026.

Name: Birkenstock Loma, Solana
Colorway: “Cork Brown”
SKU: 26093610000830, 26093610000930
MSRP: ¥27,500 JPY (approx. $174 USD)
Release Date: November 2026
Where to Buy: JOURNAL STANDARD Rakuten

Birkenstock and JOURNAL STANDARD introduce two exclusive cold-weather styles, bringing the Loma and Solana together in a shared “Cork Brown” treatment.

The Loma takes the more enclosed approach, pairing a rounded closed toe with a broad suede strap across the instep, while the Solana opens up the forefoot with a wide single-strap construction for a more relaxed slide profile. Across both, the warm caramel-brown suede has a softly brushed, matte finish that gives the shoes a slightly lived-in character, with subtle tonal variation across the nap. The monochrome treatment keeps stitching and edge details understated, while the dark outsole creates a slim visual break beneath the otherwise earthy upper.

The seasonal release is defined most clearly by its plush lamb-wool lining, which fills the footbed and wraps around the interior edges in a deeper, fuzzy brown tone. That contrast between the smooth suede exterior and dense shearling-like interior gives both silhouettes a warmer, more tactile presence without dramatically changing their minimal Birkenstock shapes. The Loma’s extra coverage makes the treatment feel closer to a winter clog, while the Solana retains more of the ease and openness of a traditional sandal. Both JOURNAL STANDARD-exclusive models are available for pre-order now in Japan, with deliveries scheduled to begin in mid-November 2026.

LEGO and Marvel have unveiled The Marvel Skyline, an 18+ microscale model that compresses dozens of landmarks from the comics, films and series into a single cityscapeHero headquarters like the Baxter Building and the X-Men Mansion share the skyline with villain hubs including Oscorp Industries and Roxxon CorporationA Galactus minifigure, Spider-Man and Human Torch trophy figures, and a fleet of miniature vehicles round out the set

LEGO is shrinking the Marvel Universe down to shelf size with The Marvel Skyline, a 1,261-piece microscale set aimed at adult builders and collectors. The display gathers headquarters, labs and corporate towers from across Marvel’s comics, films and series into one continuous city block, splitting its real estate between the heroes and the villains who oppose them.

The skyline’s heroic side stacks up some of Marvel’s most recognizable addresses, with Avengers Tower, the Daily Bugle, the Baxter Building and the X-Men Mansion all rendered in miniature. Deeper-cut locations make the cut too, including the Wakandan Embassy, Rand Enterprises Building and Pym Laboratories, giving longtime readers plenty of landmarks to spot beyond the usual blockbuster sites.

Across town, the villains get their own cluster of buildings. Hammer Industries, Roxxon Corporation, Oscorp Industries and Fisk Tower anchor the darker end of the skyline, setting up a visual standoff between the two halves of the city as the build comes together.

Figures add scale and character to the architecture. A Galactus minifigure looms over the scene, while Spider-Man and Human Torch appear as trophy figures that slot into the display. At street level, the X-Jet, the Fantastic Four Rocket Ship and the Spider-Mobile join other vehicles placed around the roads, turning a static cityscape into something closer to a frozen action shot. The finished model stands over 8 inches (21 cm) tall, stretches 15.5 inches (40 cm) wide and runs 4.5 inches (11 cm) deep, sizing it for a desk, shelf or office display.

LEGO’s The Marvel Skyline is available for pre-order now via LEGO, with shipping set to begin January 1, 2027.

Copenhagen gaming brand WALLHACK has partnered with Kentaro Miura’s Berserk on a special edition of its SP-005 glass mousepadThe pad showcases Guts in the Berserker Armor gripping the Dragon Slayer, rendered in black and white with sharp red accentsBerserk details extend to a blood-red silicone base, a Brand of Sacrifice sticker and packaging made exclusively for the release

WALLHACK is bringing one of manga’s most recognizable antiheroes to the desk with the WALLHACK x Berserk Glass Mousepad, a special edition of the Danish brand’s SP-005 model. The pad pairs WALLHACK’s competition-grade glass with an image of Guts in the Berserker Armor holding the Dragon Slayer, pitched equally at players chasing performance and fans who might rather hang it on the wall.

Miura’s dense, detailed linework gets plenty of room to breathe across the 51 x 44 cm surface. The palette stays mostly black and white, letting the armor’s texture carry the image, while bursts of red and a large Berserk logo give the composition its edge.

The artwork sits underneath WALLHACK’s SP-005 glass top, so the visual upgrade doesn’t come at the cost of speed. A finely textured finish keeps the glide quick and even, with just enough tactile feedback to support both fast flick shots and small, controlled corrections. The pad itself is cut from 2.5 mm tempered glass and rests on the brand’s proprietary silicone base, which grips the desk firmly during hard, sweeping movements.

Comfort gets attention at the edges too. WALLHACK’s low-profile edge design reduces the drop between the glass and the desk, so wrists and forearms can move across the border without catching. A carrying case comes included for storing the pad or taking it on the road.

The Berserk theming runs through the rest of the package. The silicone base arrives in a blood-red finish, and both the packaging and an included sticker bearing the Brand of Sacrifice, the cursed mark carried by Guts, were created specifically for this collaboration.

The partnership fits squarely within WALLHACK’s approach of turning manga, anime and contemporary culture into collectible gaming gear, blending performance engineering with a pared-back Scandinavian design sensibility. Berserk, according to the brand, has long been a reference point for many on its team, and the result is a piece built as much for display as for play.

The WALLHACK x Berserk Glass Mousepad launches worldwide on October 22 via WALLHACK.

Apple will host its "Pro and tell" special hardware event in Los Angeles on October 28The showcase is rumored to debut the first OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro models featuring a Dynamic IslandExpected reveals include an updated iPad mini alongside M6-powered desktop and laptop options

Apple is preparing to close out an unusually dense release schedule with a special hardware event scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, at 10 a.m. PT. Taking place in Los Angeles, the impending showcase marks the company's second major product presentation in a single month. The official tagline for the presentation is "Pro and tell," a moniker directly embraced by leadership. Executive Greg Joswiak stoked anticipation for the presentation by sharing the event invite artwork on social media on October 19, writing to followers, "Can't wait to pro and tell next week."

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the "Pro and tell" presentation is expected to center on Apple announcing its first MacBook Pro models equipped with both a touchscreen and an OLED display. These OLED touchscreen machines will reportedly be available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. Beyond the upgraded screen technology, the new laptops are expected to feature a Dynamic Island for the first time. Adding touch input to the Mac line reverses the company's long-standing design philosophy of keeping laptop and tablet interaction models separate.

Regarding physical design, the upcoming OLED MacBook Pro models will weigh significantly less than the current generation. Underneath the exterior, these touchscreen laptops are expected to run on the brand's M5 Pro and M5 Max chips.

Reports indicate the October 28 event docket includes a suite of supplementary reveals, beginning with a revamped iPad mini. The updated tablet features an OLED screen, an updated speaker system and a relocated FaceTime camera. Apple is also rumored to debut a new iMac alongside entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro models, both expected to be powered by the M6 chip. In contrast to the overhauled touchscreen models, the rumored M6-powered iMac and entry-level laptops will reportedly retain the physical design of current versions.

Cardi B delivered her debut performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert running through an eight-track set of catalog staplesThe performance introduced a notable lyrical change on ErrTime replacing a prior shout-out to Latto with Kelly RowlandThe live set also featured an altered lyric targeting past relationships during a performance of Be Careful

NPR has officially premiered Cardi B's debut performance on its celebrated Tiny Desk Concert series. The Bronx rapper delivered a high-energy, eight-song showcase featuring deliberate lyrical tweaks to some of her most recognized records.

Premiering on Monday, October 19, the set bridged fan favorites from her 2018 debut Invasion of Privacy—including "Be Careful," "Bodak Yellow," and "I Like It"—with tracks from her 2025 sophomore project Am I The Drama?, such as "Hello," "ErrTime," "Up," and "Man of Your Word," alongside her latest single, "Ah Ha."

During her performance of "ErrTime," Cardi drew attention by swapping out the track's original lyric referencing Latto in favor of Kelly Rowland. Cardi delivered the line, “Bad brown bitch, she look like Kelly in this muthafka,” replacing the original studio bar, “Bad yellow bitch, she look like Latto in this muthafka!” The adjustment follows a 2025 dispute between the two artists, which Latto later addressed on her 2026 track "Gimmie Dat."

Cardi also took aim at past relationships during "Be Careful," altering the original lyric “And karma for you gon' be who you end up with!” to “And karma for you? Well, you see it!”—nodding to her 2024 split from husband Offset and her subsequent breakup with NFL player Stefon Diggs in February 2026.

7-Eleven and Bam Bird Boutique have created a custom mahjong set exclusively for 7Collection, filled with references to the convenience store chainThe tiles combine triple-layer acrylic construction with hand-painted artwork and gold-etched backsA signature green velvet bag, two dice and a custom tile guide come included

7-Eleven is moving from the snack aisle to the mahjong table with the 7-Eleven x Bam Bird Boutique Mahjong Tile Set, a 7Collection exclusive that recasts the store’s most recognizable products, colors and symbols as playable tiles. The result sits somewhere between a collector’s object and a fully functional game set, with every design built to stay legible once the tiles hit the table.

The appeal starts with familiarity. Rather than relying on traditional tile motifs alone, the artwork pulls from 7-Eleven’s shelves and branding, translating everyday products and nostalgic references into small-scale illustrations that regulars will spot instantly. The challenge, and the point, is balancing that recognition with readability, so each suit still functions as it should during play.

That artwork is painted by hand onto tiles made from three layers of acrylic, each measuring 32mm x 23mm x 13mm. The backs keep the brand front and center, carrying 7-Eleven’s signature stripes along with a gold-etched logo, so even a face-down wall reads as unmistakably 7-Eleven.

Underneath the branding, the set is built for serious play. Its 160 tiles break down into 36 bams, 36 craks and 36 dots, joined by 8 flowers, 16 winds, 12 dragons, 10 jokers and 6 blanks. Removing 2 jokers and the 6 blanks brings the set in line with National Mah Jongg League standards.

The accessories carry the theme through. A 14" x 8" velvet bag in 7-Eleven’s signature green holds the tiles, with added brand details hidden inside, while two dice and a double-sided guide, featuring the tile designs on one face and helpful gameplay reminders on the other, complete the package for new and seasoned players alike.

The 7-Eleven x Bam Bird Boutique Mahjong Tile Set is available now via 7Collection.

BMW revealed the 2027 F 450 RR, an entry-level sportbike that integrates premier aerodynamic wing elements into its fairingThe US-bound M Sport trim pushes the beginner platform further with an adjustable KYB suspension, lean-sensitive ABS and traction controlPriced at $7,815, the motorcycle is powered by a 420 cc parallel twin engine and draws its visual identity from WorldSBK-spec racing machines

Superbike aerodynamics have historically remained restricted to top-tier racing machines, but premier track technology is trickling down to entry-level models. BMW revealed the 2027 BMW F 450 RR, a new entry-level sportbike that delivers aerodynamic front wing elements to a sub-$8,000 USD platform. The new motorcycle proves that introductory displacement no longer requires compromising on high-end design. By mirroring the sophisticated styling of elite competition bikes, the model caters directly to new riders who want an authentic race aesthetic from their first motorcycle.

The heart of the motorcycle is a 420 cc parallel twin engine, uniquely configured with a 135-degree crank offset. That powerplant generates 48 horsepower at 8,750 rpm alongside 32 pound-feet of torque at 6,750 rpm. To ease the learning curve for beginners, the sportbike offers the optional BMW Easy Ride Clutch system, which renders manual clutch operation entirely optional. Maintaining sharp handling dynamics, the chassis features a sport-oriented suspension layout providing 5.5 inches of travel at both ends. Stopping power comes from high-performance Brembo braking components on the front wheel and ByBre hardware on the rear.

Visually, the F 450 RR brings an aggressive silhouette modeled directly after WorldSBK-spec racing machines. Integrated aerodynamic fairing wings bring authentic track performance features into a street-ready package. This styling ensures that entry-level riders command the road with the posture and visual presence of a full-fledged superbike.

Riders in the United States receive the premium M Sport trim of the BMW F 450 RR as standard. This top-spec variant equips a fully adjustable KYB suspension system, lean-sensitive ABS and advanced traction control. The cockpit includes standard heated grips, a dedicated USB-C port and a vibrant 6.5-inch TFT display to manage the onboard electronics. Priced at $7,815 USD, the upcoming 2027 model year release redefines the entry-level landscape by packing authentic superbike features into an accessible daily rider.

Summary

Dan Lin has been dismissed as Netflix’s head of film after almost three years leading the divisionThe departure follows sweeping corporate layoffs of roughly 1,000 employees and the firing of chief content officer Bela BajariaFormer Warner Bros executives Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy are speculated to be in talks for roles at the studio as a successor is sought

Netflix has officially dismissed its head of film, Dan Lin, after nearly three years leading the division. The executive departure comes in the midst of a sweeping corporate and creative restructuring across the streaming giant.

Lin's dismissal follows a wave of approximately 1,000 layoffs at the streamer last week, which also saw the firing of chief content officer Bela Bajaria, as well as the exits of Lin’s right hand Doug Belgrad and indie film division head Sheroum Kim. Netflix has since brought in veteran film and television executive Peter Rice to replace Bajaria following engagement concerns and stock stagnation in the wake of the company's defeated bid for Warner Bros. Lin was let go at the start of the weekend and is slated to address his teams on Monday, following recent appearances at Saturday’s Academy Gala and a Sunday screening for La Bola Negra on the Netflix campus.

A Netflix spokesperson offered no immediate comment on Lin's exit, and while an official replacement has not been announced, former Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group leaders Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy have been widely speculated to be discussing potential roles at the company. Lin originally transitioned to Netflix in 2024 to replace Scott Stuber after leading his production banner Rideback, known for the animated Lego franchise, It, and Sherlock Holmes. In a June interview with The New York Times, Lin revealed that he had greenlit or acquired 88 films during his tenure, citing standouts such as Apex, Emelia Perez, Here Comes the Flood and The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.

Elon Musk announced on X that he plans to give one SpaceX share to every child in the United States next yearThe proposed distribution would encompass roughly 72.1 million minors and exceed a total value of $10.5 billion USDThe allocation is slated to roll out via tax-deferred youth investment accounts introduced by the Treasury Department

SpaceX chief Elon Musk has announced a plan to distribute one share of the aerospace company to every minor in the United States. The pledge was revealed via X early Monday, representing a potential giveaway valued at over $10.5 billion USD.

Posting to X, Musk stated: “Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.” According to U.S. Census Bureau data, roughly 21.1% of the country's 341.8 million residents are under the age of 18, representing approximately 72.1 million eligible youth. Musk maintains a 48.4% beneficial stake in SpaceX with roughly 6.42 billion shares, contributing to an estimated net worth of $908 billion USD.

The stock distribution will reportedly be facilitated through Trump Accounts, the tax-deferred investment accounts for American citizens under 18 established by the Treasury Department in July. Musk's announcement followed an exchange regarding artificial intelligence rival Anthropic, which committed 5% of its shares to an internal public benefit fund. Musk responded directly to the news, commenting, “I recommend giving the shares directly to the public,” before adding, “This is what I will be doing.”

SpaceX—which encompasses rocket operations, satellite internet, artificial intelligence, and social platform X—went public in June. After debuting at $150 USD per share and peaking at $225.64 USD, the stock is currently trading just under its initial listing price.

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America.

This will be the first of many.

Summary

Nike is preparing to release a stripped-down Air Max 90 SP in a Black Leather execution for Fall 2026The updated build swaps out traditional plastic eyestays and multi-layered overlays for tonal stitching and perforated leatherExpected to retail for $150 USD the pair will launch through Nike and select retailers

Name: Nike Air Max 90 SP "Black Leather"
Colorway: Black
SKU: IV4504-001
MSRP: $150 USD
Release Date: Fall 2026
Where to Buy: Nike

Nike is updating its archival running lineup with the upcoming Air Max 90 SP "Black Leather". The streamlined iteration swaps the model's signature layered construction for a minimalist, leather-centric design reminiscent of past NikeLab projects.

Instead of relying on the model’s usual combination of mesh, leather, and plastic overlays, the upper is built primarily from smooth black leather. Nike employs precise stitching to trace out the Swoosh, mudguard, and side panels directly on the surface, creating a much sleeker finish. The standard plastic eyestays and molded Nike Air heel badge have also been substituted with perforated leather, while a tonal logo on the tongue and black laces complete the upper.

Below, the tooling retains the standard Air Max 90 midsole and visible heel cushioning. A faint blue tint sits inside the Air window, set against an otherwise all-black midsole and rubber outsole.
The Nike Air Max 90 SP “Black Leather” is expected to release in Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers for $150 USD.
