Appearing on the feet of King James throughout the course of the movie will be the Nike LeBron 19, which is once again developed by longtime Nike LeBron designer Jason Petrie. The shoe boasts a mid-cut construction combined with what appears to be Flywire appearing on the underlay panels. Featured in the tooling is a platform that incorporates a newly modeled Zoom Air forefoot unit along with a double-chambered Air Max unit at the heel.

Thus far, only two colorways of the LeBron 19 have been revealed by the brand—including an orange-based pair inspired by James’ Tune Squad uniform along with a white and blue makeup pictured below.

“In designing the LeBron 19, we were definitely guided by what was happening in the film,” says Petrie. “We wanted to give LeBron a brand-new feeling that was synonymous with an otherworldly, space-age kind of look.”

As of now, release info for the LeBron 19 has yet to be announced by the brand but stay tuned to Sole Collector for updates.


BLEU MODE RAIDED LACOSTE'S ARCHIVE TO RECYCLE THE CLASSICS

Since childhood, photographer Julien Boudet (AKA Bleu Mode) has been flexing the Croc, Lacoste sportswear, Nike's Air Max Plus 3 , and the occasional beret informing his uniform from early on to the current day. Even as he picked up vintage pieces from various luxury labels, Boudet was drawn back to the house of Le Crocodile. Lacoste is finally returning the favor, enlisting Boudet for a collaborative collection rooted in the clothing company's streetwear legacy.Get more news about cheap womens lacoste polo shirts,you can vist kictg.com!

"I’ve always been a Lacoste fan. I collect the pieces, I hunt for them, I wear them," said Boudet. "Twenty years ago, I dreamed of those Lacoste outfits that I saw in the windows of stores in Sète, my small hometown. At the time, they seemed inaccessible to me. I never thought I would have the chance to collaborate with Lacoste one day.
Obsessed with Lacoste's late '80s youth culture boom, Boudet delved deep into the Lacoste archives in Troyes to uncover 10 timeless styles from the past. The windbreakers, sweaters, tracksuits, socks, and — of course — polo shirts are all familiar to anyone who knows Lacoste, but also not. There are fresh patterns and charmingly old-school bits of color-blocking that occasionally interrupt the clean cream palette.

Each piece is a limited edition, hand-numbered by Boudet himself. To further sweeten the pot, all of the items have been crafted entirely of recycled materials, from the textiles to the thread utilized to stitch the Crocs to the chest of each layering piece, putting a new spin on the old favorites.


Lacoste Apparel Firm Looks To Expand Its Brand Family

After experiencing a stretch of formidable growth, the Swiss family behind Lacoste, the apparel firm, is looking for acquisitions to bolster its “affordable luxury” and activewear brand collection, the Financial Times reported.Get more news about lacoste polo shirts outlet,you can vist kictg.com!

While revenue is under pressure in the department store business as more consumers shop via eCommerce, the apparel business has reportedly been expanding at a steady pace. Thierry Guibert, the head of the global business of Maus Frères SA and Lacoste’s chief executive, said the Maus family had tasked him with growing the clothing business.

The executive said, according to the report, “Our brands have a lot of potential, and the group wants to go on the offensive again. There is a desire to reinforce our portfolio of brands.”

The subsidiary led by Guibert, which is known by its crocodile mascot, now comprises approximately 60 percent of the approximate €5 billion that Maus Frères SA brings in yearly.

The business is switching its name to MF Brands Group from Maus Frères International as it seeks growth opportunities. Guibert aims to buy brands with sales of around €200m to €300m that are already established in the segment.

Lacoste, which was started by two tennis players in 1933, offers clothing, accessories and shoes. It also has a partnership to sell clothing at the Olympic Games.

In separate news, Lacoste was looking to let French Open viewers purchase clothing via “on-air shoppable moments” via a televised experience, per reports in 2019. The opportunity was to arrive with NBCUniversal’s ShoppableTV experience. With the effort, a quick-response (QR) code would guide shoppers to Lacoste’s website to finish their purchases. The scannable codes would provide a more seamless shopping experience without the need to type in a web address or open a mobile app.


Breaking Sneakers: Michael Jordan’s Shoes Sell For $615,000

TOPLINE A pair of shoes worn by star basketball player Michael Jordan—notable for having a shard of glass embedded in one sole from a backboard Jordan shattered during a game—reportedly became the most expensive pair of sneakers sold at auction in history this week when they sold for a sky-high $615,000.Get more news about retro air jordan shoes for sale,you can vist ajsize.com!
The red, black and white Air Jordan 1’s were worn by Jordan during an exhibition game in Italy in 1985, when he broke the black board during a slam dunk, leaving a piece of glass in the left shoe’s sole, according to auction house Christie’s.

Despite beating the previous record for most expensive shoes sold at auction (another pair of Jordan’s game sneakers, which sold for $560,000 in May), the $615,000 was still below estimates of how much the shoes would fetch, with Christie’s estimating between $650,000 and $850,000.

“This sale once again confirms that sneakers are cultural artifacts and deserve to be listed alongside other luxury items in the collectibles marketplace,” said Stadium Goods head John McPheters in a statement.

Jordan, known to many fans as the greatest basketball player in history, is a six-time National Basketball Association champion and was named Most Valuable player five times. He still holds the title of having the NBA’s highest scoring average nearly 20 years after his retirement with 30.1 points a game, according to the league. Forbes estimates Jordan is worth $1.6 billion, thanks in part to his lucrative Nike deal he signed in 1984 as well as sponsorships with brands like Gatorade, Hanes and Upper Deck.


FIRST PHOTOS OF CHELSEA’S EYE-CATCHING 2021/22 AWAY KIT SURFACE ONLINE

The first photos of the kit set to be donned by European champions Chelsea away from Stamford Bridge next season have come to the fore online this afternoon.Get more news about custom Manchester United soccer jersey,you can vist futbolucl.com !

This past season of course saw Nike change things up when it came to Chelsea’s colours on the road.Rather than the white, yellow or black of years gone by, the Pensioners were fitted with a light blue design, featuring a zig-zagged pattern.

The jersey was met with something of a mixed response on the part of the club’s fanbase, many of whom had seemingly hoped for a more simple design.

And, if the aforementioned first photos of Chelsea’s predicted away kit for the 2021/22 campaign are anything to go by, then such supporters are unlikely to be overly thrilled with Nike’s latest efforts, either.

As showcased below, the capital giants look set to pull on a striking yellow shirt on the road next season.

A series of black horizontal lines will feature across the jersey’s front, accompanied by black sleeve cuffs and a collar of the same colour.The reliable Footy Headlines, though, have since added a slight modification, revealing a more natural ‘Opti’ yellow, as showcased in the image below:

The opening fixture of the Euro 2020 tournament was of course played out in Rome last night, when Italy welcomed Turkey to the Stadio Olimpico.Roberto Mancini’s men eventually ran out dominant 3-0 victors, courtesy of a stellar team display.

None was more impressive from an individual standpoint throughout the clash, though, than Chelsea star Jorginho.The midfielder dictated the flow of the game with effortless class and vision, picking apart Turkey’s ranks in the middle of the park from his deep-lying berth.


Chelsea’s New Away Kit Reminds Us Of A Certain German Club

Chelsea has once again caused a stir with its new away kit. If there's something that characterizes the London club year after year, it's the annual release of away jerseys that always generate opinions and rarely leave fans feeling indifferent.Get more news about Leicester City soccer jersey,you can vist futbolucl.com !

This is the case for the 2021-22 season. After unveiling the home uniform, which has a clear nod to the past, now it's the away shirts turn.In this case, the Blues have opted for a kit dominated by a striking yellow color. In addition, the details of the shirt, such as the thin stripes, will be black, leaving an eye-catching contrast.

Due to its similarity, several social media users have already compared this design with those worn year after year by Borussia Dortmund.“The new Chelsea away kit that players will wear on the pitch, as well as the replica shirts for the fans, are constructed with 100% recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. This allows the kits to help deliver peak performance while reducing our impact on the environment,” reads an extract from the press release of the shirt.

For some Chelsea fans, the idea of having a “Black and Yellow” Chelsea shirt seems perfectly fitting for Erling Haaland, the club's most desired player, if the transfer from Dortmund is done.


11 Ways to Love Your Plus-Size Body

We used to be told we should be supermodel slim. Fast forward to 2021. Size 14/16 and beyond is now the new normal. Designers, specialty sites and retailers are embracing size inclusivity and plus-size models are commonplace. Full disclosure: I'm not a plus size. But as a fashion and beauty editor I've dressed thousands of women of every size for photo shoots. We used to use plenty of Spanx on set, but I learned a lot about how women age 50-plus feel about their bodies and weight.Get more news about plus size swimwear shop,you can vist 5xsize.com!

It's not easy to cancel decades of scale anxiety, diets and clothing struggles and embrace body positivity, but now is finally the time for a style-for-all attitude. Here's how to get yours going.
1. Treat your shape to body-friendly basics
Women with generous bodies really benefit from the more relaxed fit of lifestyle clothes. For stress-free dressing your best bet is to build a core of easy-fit tops with dropped shoulders and dolman sleeves, wide necklines like boats, scoops and Vs, long tunic tees, and elastic waist pants, skirts and dresses. These are usually S–XXL in regular sizes or 1X to 5 X+ in plus sizes. Choose styles described as oversize, relaxed, loose, airy or flowy, like the Lane Bryant Dolman Notch-Neck Babydoll Tee in Night Sky , Catherines Breezy Crinkle Wide Leg Pants in Mariner Navy or Black or Ava & Viv Women's Plus Size Essential Relaxed Scoop Neck T-Shirt in Black, Brass or Purple . No zippers, buttons or fit issues to deal with.
2. Embrace your personal measurements
Think of your measurements as your secret recipe. Use a tape measure to determine your bust, waist and hip size in inches. Size charts are now a major feature on most sites so match your inches to those of any retailer or brand when shopping online. Know where your shape needs the extra roominess. Let's say you're a size 14/16. The difference between buying the Who What Wear Women's Puff Short Sleeve Dress in Black/White Gingham Check in a 1X, or the same dress in a regular size XL comes down to two extra inches at the bust, three inches at the waist and about five inches at the hips. You might want to try both. Size charts for different brands, stores and sites tend to vary. For example, Warp + Weft Mia High-Rise Flared Jeans in 1X (14-16) are 36.5–38 inches at the waist, 46–47.5 inches at the hip, while the Lands’ End Plus Size High Rise Straight Leg Ankle Blue Jeans in Juneberry Blue in size 1X are 36.5–37.5 inches at the waist, 44.5 inches at the hip. See what I mean?
3. Explore knits for curve-friendly work clothes
Work and dress-up clothes like jackets and dresses can sometimes seem stiff or stuffy in generous sizes. Take any oversize old, tailored items to a good tailor for a nip and tuck to fit them more personally to your precise figure. However, if you're shopping “new” don't ignore knits. Thicker stretch knits and ponte knits make jackets, pants and dresses more compatible with generous curves. Look for polished dresses like the M.M.LaFleur for Dia & Co Katie Dress in Light Grey and Eloquii Button Front Collared Dress Knit Work in Pinecone and jackets like the M.M.LaFleur for Dia & Co Saint Ambroeus Blazer in Ivory or Azure Blue for sophistication with no extra baggage or bulges. In case you're wondering, a cropped jacket or a long curved one are the styles to choose — skip the boxy boyfriend styles. They're not your body's best friend anymore.
4. Respect your personal proportions
Perhaps you've gained some weight since last year. OK, maybe more than a few pounds. Figure out where your “extra” tends to settle and amplify. Are you a top-heavy gainer? A bottom-heavy one? Or do you simply go allover bodacious? You'll be shopping and dressing to accommodate your extra weight whether it be at the breasts, waist, hips, thighs and/or derriere. Remember: Every generous body is different from the next and that includes you. You may even be a plus size on bottom but a regular size on top or vice versa, or able to wear regular extended 14+ and L and XL sizes without going total plus.
5. Do you carry your weight mostly on top?
Gift your body with a few beautiful support bras, like the Soma Stunning Support Smooth Balconette Bra in Divine Leopard Mini Nude so your breasts are up and off your midriff. (Your breasts should “sit” just about midway between your elbow and shoulder.) You'll gain extra torso inches and separation between bust and belly. Make V-neckline dresses like the River Island Plus Brown Animal Print Wrap Midi Dress and surplice tops like the Lane Bryant Crossover Ruched Side Top in Black your go-to look. These styles and those with raised empire necklines like the Torrid Vintage Indigo Floral Gauze Lace-Up Babydoll Blouse in Floral-Blue create the effect of a longer neck and torso and define your middle for a svelte and lifted look.


The Problem With Lena Dunham’s New Plus-Size Clothing Line Is Lena Dunham

This week, “Girls” creator, writer and actress Lena Dunham announced the launch of the 11 Honoré x Lena Dunham Collection, her new “plus-size” clothing line with the 11 Honoré brand. She celebrated the launch with multiple Instagram posts and a widely shared interview in The New York Times. Get more news about cheap Plus Size Dresses for women,you can vist 5xsize.com!

To be honest, 11 Honoré was barely on my radar, simply because the brands the company carries, its own included, most definitely do not “include” bodies like mine. I couldn’t wear a single thing from its site, and this is the case for many fat people.
The backlash against the limited size range of 14–26 was pretty immediate. Now, to be fair to Dunham, I have not seen her refer to her line as “inclusive.” However, 11 Honoré calls itself “a size-inclusive shopping site” in its mission statement — while also listing a size range of 12–24.

I personally don’t believe “inclusive” can apply to sites that cater to a limited size range that excludes both larger and smaller sizes. That position may be somewhat controversial, but to me, “inclusive fashion” looks like a brand like SmartGlamour, by Mallorie Dunn, which has a preset size range from XXS - 15X, but additionally offers complete customization of every piece sold, each of which is made to order.

While this a conversation that is worth having, it’s not what I’m here to talk about today. I want to talk about Dunham’s Times interview related to the launch of her collection ― because her comments are incredibly problematic for someone trying to sell clothing to fat women.

Dunham has apparently dealt with some medication-related weight gain after battling what sounds like an awful case of COVID-19 last March. Anyone who has taken steroids for an illness or injury knows the side effects are awful. One of them involves weight gain; another is a puffiness that’s especially noticeable in the face, often referred to as “moon face.” Yikes. This is problematic not only because when I look at Dunham, I don’t see a “triple chin,” but also because even if she does have one, it’s due to medication ― not actual fatness. If she were to go off the steroids, that puffiness would go away.

Furthermore, imagine how anyone with a “triple chin,” who likely already cannot wear Dunham’s clothing collection, might feel when they read that — not to mention anyone else enduring “moon face” from steroids or chronic illness.

This touches on a major issue I have with Dunham’s collection. Dunham says in the Times interview that her body has settled around a 14/16. Considering the average American woman is typically stated to be a size 16, Dunham’s size is, well, just that — average. Plus-size, but just barely.


Davinci Motors Unveils High-End, All-Electric Café Racers

Seven years ago, the newly assembled motorcycle design gang Davinci Elec-Motorcycle Coop (dba Davinci) took a bold turn into the electric wild; it sought fully-electric café racers. On July 17, 2021, the group finally reigned in two handsome electric steeds. Enter: the DC Classic and DC100 — Davinci’s new all-electric cafs. Though similar in concept and aesthetic, there’s a bounty of differences between the electric motorcycle models.To get more news about davincimotor, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

The DC100’s maker styles it as a wheeled robot/high-performance “futuristic cafe racer.” In a recent press release, the motor co-op said, “As a two-wheeled robot, DC100 is capable of sensing, calculating and executing. From the vehicle’s mechanical status to real-time riding feedback, DC100 is designed to offer impeccable performance in complete harmony with its rider.”

Its intelligent, app-style integrations position the all-electric cafe racer as a nearly evergreen machine. Forthcoming software updates promise to upgrade the bike’s functionality on a termless basis: “Future features that will leverage the DC100’s robotic intelligence include self-balancing, auto follow, and smartphone remote control.” But enough nerd chatter.For its signatory design, the DC Classic, Davinci will produce only 50. Each DC Classic will house its own unique ID marker. The boxy powertrain sits on what could otherwise be mistaken for a Triumph Bonneville Thruxton. The profile is severe, lean, and almost whispers “I rule.”

As of this month, pre-ordering is open to all onlookers. Davinci will ship the DC Classic a bit ahead of the DC100. That said, potential buyers will need a little patience — deliveries won’t begin until April and July of 2022, respectively.

To get your grips on one of the 50 special-run electric café racers you’ll need to shell out a nice wad of coin. At $90,000, the DC Classic isn’t messing around. Those interested in a “people’s” rendition can wrangle the DC100 steed for $27,500. Reserving the DC100 (if you’re flirting with the idea…and who wouldn’t?) only takes a $150 deposit.

If images from over the weekend are indicative, Davinici’s unveiling event was — in lay terms — lit. For the full deck, check out the motor group’s gallery here.


Italdesign Reveals the DaVinci Concept in Geneva

The DaVinci concept is a unique GT car from the Italian coachbuilder Italdesign. The vehicle is a homage to the true genius of Leonardo DaVinci. The car has a unique and super sleek design and a modern fully electric powertrain. The innovative design is special because it can be modified to house an internal combustion engine if needed or wanted.To get more news about davincidynamic, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

The DaVinci as it’s shown at the Geneva Motor Show has an all-electric powertrain with two electric motors. If you were to put an internal combustion in the vehicle, Italdesign has a 4.0-liter V8 that will fit in there. Fitting that engine in there doesn’t change the car’s design at all, which is a good thing because it’s so attractive.

The Italdesign DaVinci is a pretty big car. It’s about the same size as a BMW 8-Series Coupe. It’s long, elegant, and sporty with some fantastic-looking gullwing doors. The interior is a technophile’s delight with three well-placed screens and a generally futuristic feel.

The DaVinci is just a concept. Italdesign made a point to say that it could be put into production with minimal changes to the design. Italdesign also says the design can fit many platforms that automakers already have, which should make it even more production viable. Overall it sounds like a super smart feat of engineering and design. We’d love to see a production version of the vehicle and its flexible design sounds exactly like what many automakers are looking for these days.
