MGK DG Casa

The Dolce&Gabbana Casa Collection is presented through a series of images that combine a classic aesthetic and a contemporary sensibility. The first Advertising Campaign of the new line dedicated to the art of home living transports the viewer into a dreamlike dimension where the objects of our everyday life meet inspiration and become pieces of unique design and creativity. The Blu Mediterraneo, Carretto Siciliano, Leopard and Zebra themes dominate the scene with their iconic patterns and references to Dolce&Gabbana’s most authentic DNA.

The photographs, shot by the duo Mert&Marcus, recall the traditional imagery of the Renaissance artistic nudes, while alluding to the aesthetic of the Dolce&Gabbana 2000s campaigns. The models’ silhouettes delicately blend with their surrounding, bringing out the Collection’s uniqueness. The campaign’s pictorial style draws the spectator into the oneiric and artistic world of Dolce&Gabbana’s furnishing creations.

In the campaign’s video contributions, the poetic aspect is further emphasised by the words of a love letter: Dolce&Gabbana Casa thus becomes the ideal space in which emotions and sensations find expression through the creativity of special objects. The collection showcases Machine Gun Kelly at the forefront. Demonstrating MGK in a new light, he is undoubtedly a key player in the campaign images that display a surplus of body types.

THANOS: DEATH NOTES

This November, Marvel Comics will publish a special one-shot starring one of the most iconic comic villains of all time—THANOS! THANOS: DEATH NOTES will be an oversized issue containing riveting stories about the Mad Titan’s life and begin the path towards his next conquest. This issue spins directly out of Donny Cates and Nic Klein’s THOR run where Thor recently beheld a terrifying future involving Thanos and vowed to use all his power to prevent it. THANOS: DEATH NOTES will be brought together by an incredible lineup of creators including J. Michael Straczynski, Torunn Grønbekk, Kyle Starks, Christopher Cantwell, Andrea Di Vito, Travel Foreman, and one of the character’s most definitive artists, cosmic extraordinaire Ron Lim!

Thanos is missing, presumed dead after the chilling events of Kieron Gillen and Esad Ribić’s ETERNALS. But Thor has seen a vision of his return. And it is enough to make even a God fear. To prepare himself, to prepare the universe, Thor desperately searches for answers in Thanos’ past…and finds a glimpse of the Marvel Universe’s dark future.

“Ever since the Black Winter gave Thor a glimpse of how he was going to die way back in THOR #6, and Thor saw that it was going to be at the hands of a Thanos wielding not only an Infinity Stones-encrusted Mjolnir but also seemingly a new black Infinity Stone (not to mention with an army of undead super heroes and villains at his side), Thor has been working to prevent this horrific fate,” said Editor Wil Moss. “In this THANOS one-shot, his quest brings him to look to Thanos’ past for clues. But in doing so, will Thor learn something of use, or merely realize that Thanos truly is inevitable? Big things are set up here, brought to you by an all-star cast of creators — don’t miss it!”

See the universe tremble once more when THANOS begins his next era in THANOS: DEATH NOTES #1 this November. For more information, visit Marvel.com.

Reebok × Jurassic World Dominion

Today Reebok and Universal Brand Development officially unveil the highly anticipated, second Jurassic footwear and apparel collection – inspired by the latest blockbuster film – Jurassic World Dominion. Last year Reebok and Universal teamed up to create the Reebok x Jurassic Park collection which celebrated the iconic 1993 original film and invoked intense nostalgia for the franchise. This year’s Reebok x Jurassic World Dominion line draws inspiration from the latest film and pays homage to the bioengineering themes and dinosaurs new and old. Each piece of footwear features glowing amber logos, a classified information label and is encapsulated in an amber-inspired box.

Additional footwear details include:

• The Answer DMX (HQ6276, $200) – This Answer DMX is sure to make you feel like the ultimate apex predator thanks to the natural colors and reptile-inspired materials reminiscent of the Giganotosaurus. The silhouette is outfitted with a hardware accent piece and spikes from this new terrifyingly giant dinosaur on the heel. Available in unisex sizing.

• Classic Leather Ripple (HQ6253, $100) – The fan-favorite Velociraptor, Blue, and her offspring, Beta, team up to create the ultimate nostalgic Classic Leather Ripple. Blue’s iconic stripe comes to life on the side of the shoe while the window box and heel logos feature nods to both Blue and Beta with their signature claw element. Available in unisex, grade school, preschool and infant sizing.

• LX2200 (HQ6264, $110) – This sleek LX2200 takes design cues from the bio-genetic coding facility – Biosyn Valley – as seen in Jurassic World Dominion.

• Zig Kinetica 2.5 (HQ6263, $140) – The fearsome four pack of Atrociraptors – as seen chasing Owen, Claire and others through the streets of Malta – inspire this fierce version of Reebok’s Zig Kinetica 2.5.

• Nano X2 Adventure (HQ6265, $150) – Survival lace and paracord webbing paired with the ultimate outdoor training shoe, the Nano X2 Adventure, equip you for the most serious dinosaur breach.

The collection is rounded out with a handful of graphic tees that feature the iconic Jurassic World logo and incorporate a Biosyn “authorized personnel only” badge print for a symbol of authenticity.

Reebok – Question Mid “Blue Toe”

Reebok has officially announced an August 19 return for its historic Question Mid “Blue Toe” ($50-$160), a noteworthy colorway of Allen Iverson’s first signature basketball shoe introduced during his standout ’96-’97 rookie season.

Reebok’s original Question Mid would arrive in 1996 at the heart of a basketball footwear revolution, but the brand’s pitch to a young and hopeful Allen Iverson was about much more than a sneaker – it was about their commitment to “A.I.”

“It was a dream come true,” recalled Iverson. “It was close to the same feeling of when you get drafted. Only a certain amount of people have their own signature shoe; that really means you’re special.”

Question Mid has since established itself as one of sneaker history’s most meaningful silhouettes, a representation of Reebok basketball heritage, and a model of sport culture’s greatest legacy.

Succeeding its “OG” predecessor that season, Question Mid “Blue Toe” took center stage on a March night in ’97 as Philly’s highlight-reel rookie point guard, Allen Iverson – wearing the shoe – famously “crossed up“ one of basketball’s greatest players. A symbol of Iverson’s fearless athleticism, that historic moment lives on in the soles of an iconic sneaker.

25 years later, Question Mid “Blue Toe” returns packed with original design elements including a tumbled leather upper, blue pearlized leather toe box, ice rubber outsole, ghillie lacing system, embroidered Vector logos, iconic “Q” heel logo, and a custom rookie Iverson sock liner arriving in OG-inspired Question packaging.

Reebok’s Question Mid “Blue Toe” returns globally August 19 in full-family sizing (Adults/GX0227/$160, Juniors/GY8820/$100, Kids/GY8824/$75, Infants/GY8825/$50) from Reebok.com/US/Basketball, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Hibbett, and other select retailers. Reebok UNLOCKED members will receive one-day early access on August 18, while sneaker boutique Packer is slated to release a limited number of pairs in-store and online August 12.

August Top Stories

Brittney Griner receives nine-year sentence in Russia

United States’ WNBA player Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years of prison on Thursday August 4 in Russia. Griner pled guilty to cannabis possession charges earlier in the year after mistakenly breaking Russian law. When travelling to Russia in February of the year, Griner had vape cartridges that carried less than one gram of cannabis oil in them.

In the courtroom before hearing her sentence, Briner stated, “I want the court to understand that this was an honest mistake that I made while rushing, under stress, trying to recover from COVID and just trying to get back to my team.”

Moments after Griner was sentenced, the White House released a statement, reportedly in the name of US President Joe Biden. The statement read, “Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney, […] It’s unacceptable, and I call on Russia to release her immediately so she can be with her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates.”

5 Ways to Energize Your Daily Routine

The average person’s day is filled with routines. From the time we wake up to the time we go to bed, we perform a particular set of tasks every day. While some people might enjoy their daily routine, others may feel bored or uninspired. If you feel like your daily routine is dragging you down, it might be time to change.

It is important to note that not everyone will enjoy or benefit from all of these tips. Some people may prefer to stick to their tried-and-true routine, while others may be looking for new and innovative ways to add excitement back into their lives.

According to a study by the University of Cambridge, humans are creatures of habit. The study found that around 40% of our everyday activities are performed out of habit, without any real thought or deliberation. Furthermore, this number increases as we get older – by the time we reach our 60s and 70s, over 50% of our actions are performed automatically, without conscious thought.

While routines can help keep our lives organized and allow us to accomplish our goals, they can also become monotonous and boring. If your daily routine is starting to feel like a drag, it might be time to make some changes. Here are five ways to energize your daily routine.

Establish a Workout Routine

Working out is a great way to get your body moving and boost your energy levels. Now is the time to start if you’re not already incorporating some form of exercise into your daily routine. Even if you can only spare 20-30 minutes for a quick workout, it will make a world of difference.

There are endless options when it comes to working out, so find something that suits your needs and interests. For example, if you enjoy being outdoors, go for a run or walk in your neighborhood. Try a stretch studio in Dubai or lifting weights at the gym if you prefer indoor activities. And if you’re short on time, there are plenty of at-home workouts that you can do with minimal equipment.

Make Time for Breakfast

Many people skip breakfast because they don’t have time or they’re not hungry when they wake up. However, breakfast is the most important meal of the day for a reason. It provides your body with the energy and nutrients it needs to function properly.

If you’re not a morning person, try setting your alarm clock 10 minutes earlier than usual so that you have time to make and eat breakfast. There are plenty of quick and easy breakfast recipes that you can make ahead of time, such as overnight oats or egg muffins.

Create a Morning Routine

A morning routine can help start your day on the right foot and set the tone for the rest of the day. If you don’t have a morning routine, now is the time to create one.

Think about what you would like to accomplish in the morning and make a list of activities that will help you achieve those goals. For example, if you want to start your day with some self-care, you might include activities such as taking a shower, doing your hair and makeup, and making breakfast. If you’re looking to get some work done, you might include tasks such as reading through your emails and writing down a to-do list for the day.

The key is to find what works for you and stick to it. Experiment with different activities until you find a combination that makes you feel energized and ready to take on the day.

Set Some Goals

You can quickly lose motivation if you don’t have any goals to work towards. On the other hand, having something to focus on and strive for can give you a sense of purpose and make your daily routine more exciting.

Think about what you would like to achieve in the short term, such as finishing a project at work or learning a new skill. Then, come up with a plan of action that will help you reach those goals. For example, if your goal is to finish a project at work, you might break it down into smaller tasks that you can complete daily.

Make Time for Yourself

It’s essential to make time for yourself every day, even if it’s just for 10-15 minutes. You can use this time to do something that makes you happy, such as reading, listening to music, or spending time in nature.

Making time for yourself will help reduce stress and give you the energy you need to power through your daily routine. So, be sure to schedule some “me time” into your day and stick to it.

Conclusion

Your daily routine doesn’t have to be boring or monotonous. Making a few simple changes can energize your routine and make each day more enjoyable. Give these tips a try and see how they work for you.
