If you’re a sneakerhead, you know that the world of footwear is a fascinating, ever-evolving landscape. In the realm of iconic kicks, the Nike Dunks have always held a special place, and this spring, sneaker enthusiasts are in for a treat with the re-release of the elusive and super rare Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ sneakers.

The Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ has become a legend in sneaker culture, a mythical grail that has left collectors and enthusiasts alike in awe. In 1999, this sartorial masterpiece emerged, crafted exclusively for the discerning fashion enthusiasts in Japan. These coveted gems found their home in selective boutiques, shrouding them in an air of exclusivity that rendered acquisition virtually impossible for those beyond Japanese borders.

Fast forward to the present day, and the iconic sneakers are set to mark their 25th anniversary, shedding their exclusive past. Nike is gearing up for a global celebration, liberating the Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ from its geographical confinement. As the anniversary countdown commences, one can’t help but anticipate the inevitable allure, knowing all too well that lovers, once again, are poised to embark on a lavish spending spree.

The Nike Dunk Low ‘Reverse Curry’ design

Draped in a luxurious all-leather ensemble, the foundation boasts an exquisite ‘Dark Curry’ hue. The iconic Swoosh gracefully traverses the sides, paying homage to its original counterpart from a bygone era. Delve deeper, and you’ll discover the distinctive Nike insignia meticulously stitched onto the tongue tag and heel badge.

Beneath the surface, the midsole introduces a touch of innovation, incorporating rubber infusion for enhanced bounce and comfort—qualities inherent to the Dunk as a versatile basketball shoe. The ensemble concludes with an earthy golden brown outsole, adding a final touch of sophistication.

Other Nike Dunk Low iterations that were released only in Japan, the “Brazil,” “Plum,” and “Ultraman,” are set to make a triumphant return to the scene as well. If you’re a dedicated follower of these iconic silhouettes, gear up for a thrilling ride in 2024, where the sneaker landscape is poised to become a playground for enthusiasts.

When most people think of Jay-Z, they think of, well, Beyoncé first and foremost, but they then think of his chart-topping hits and, lastly, his blinding watch collection. The man is not just a fan of watches; he's a collector of some of the most expensive and complicated timepieces in existence that are quite literally worth more than all of our houses, cars, and dogs collectively.

Jay-Z's watch collection is comprised of brands like Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, and Patek Philippe, but the one brand that sits at the very top of his shelf, like the sock that is a toddler's most prized possession, is Hublot. He's made it quite clear that Hublot holds the biggest space in his heart, and made sure to proclaim it to the world in his 2011 song Otis, in which he sang, "New watch alert: Hublot."

After the postponement of the prestigious Only Watch 2023, now rescheduled for May 10, 2024, anticipation for the event is palpable. For smaller watch brands, Only Watch is the perfect setting for them to test the waters with newer concepts, but after the delay, several dropped out, while some, like Patek Philippe, saw an opportunity amidst the chaos. Instead of succumbing to delays, the brand unveiled its reference 1938 Minute Repeater Alarm last November, which was limited to just 30 watches.

Now, Patek Philippe has unveiled its newest Only Watch entry, reference 6301A, consisting of a grande et petite sonnerie and minute repeater, which is surprisingly encased in steel, a rare choice for the brand. At the moment, the ref. 6301A is the sole new addition to Only Watch 2024, while the rest of the watches have been taken from last year's canceled event. While the only visual distinction between the new Patek Philippe and last year's entry is the dial, it's a departure from a more formal look.
