Awake NY And Jordan Brand Launch Sneaker Collaboration

New York-based streetwear brand Awake NY and Jordan have collaborated on a new version of the Jordan 1. Originally, it featured a red version with a white base, but in the latest version, red replaces the red. This dropped just in time, aligning with the New York Yankees colors to show their support for the New York-based team. Additional details include a co-branded inner tongue label with “Awake NY” stamped on the heel. Awake NY’s “A” logo is also stitched on the shoe’s mudguard.

The Jordan Air Ship X Awake NY “Game Blue” is available via a raffle on awakeny.runfair.com for $150. The sneakers are also available in-store while supplies last.

Yara Shahidi Stepped Out In Sezane

Actress Yara Shadidi stepped out in a head-to-toe Sezane look to celebrate their new collaboration with Laura Brown the former editor-in-chief at InStyle. Beginning with a white skin-tight turtleneck as the base, Shahidi layered it with a red leather blazer with buttons lining the inside and straight trousers with a pointed toe.

EBY Launches New Category-Defining 3D Precision Bra

Intimates brand EBY patted technology from the Golden Gate Bridge when developing their new bra. Created with optimal support and comfort in mind, they developed a bra with a 3D Wing Suspension and optimally developed cups, which remains a long-awaited solution for bra wearers. By eradicating the metal wire, EBY instead opted for a nylon thread, taking over the duty of the wire.

EBY’s Precision Bra is available online now. Pricing starts at $66. The bra ranges in sizes XS to 2XLDD, including all shapes and sizes.
