Kanye West has finally released his new YEEZY foam runner on June 27, 2020.
For only 75USD, approximately P3,750, you are set to set your hands and foot on this pair of “Yeezy Crocs.”
Kanye West has been teasing us for months about this release and at last, we are days away from the #WESTDAYEVER rollout.
This slip-on shoes were dropped on the YEEZY SUPPLY website. However, their orders were placed on the “waiting room.” Thereafter, they were treated with an affordable pair of Yeezy. What a treat, truly!
According to reports, Yeezy Foam Runner is made from algae. The one-piece design expresses lattice segments and cut-out side portions. Moving lower the sole section of the shoe is sculpted to create a seamless transition from the upper and resembles the look of the midsole found on the adidas YEEZY BOOST 700.
As of writing, YEEZY Foam Runners are sold out. Stay tuned for their restock. Keep yourselves posted, hmmm?
With the continuous spike and scare of the coronavirus pandemic, more and more businessed have been contributing to the world’s combat against this unseen enemy.
In May, both Apple and Google have launched developer tools (called APIs) that will “enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities.”
Apple also mentioned that together with Google, they will be launching the apps on iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store.
If you have a phone and you have crossed paths with someone who has tested positive of coronavirus, you will be alerted.
Though Google won’t be collecting personally identifiable information or user location data and “people who test positive are not identified to other users Google or Apple.”
The data will “only be used for contact tracing by public health authorities for COVID-19 pandemic management” Google says.
Not only will this help us track those who have been in contact of those who tested positive, we will also be able to stop the spread within our own household.
Please be reminded, however, that you need to update your OS to the latest version for this tracker to be seen on your mobile device.
(For ANDROID)
(For iOS)
With this feature, if you have been in contact with someone infected with COVID-19, your phone will notify you. You won’t see the name of the infected person, or when or where it happened, only that you are now at risk and should probably think about getting checked out and limiting your social interactions. Apple or Google will not access personally identifiable information.
A different taste for summer 2020 is on the works for Uniqlo.
Uniqlo’s UT x ‘Jump’ collaboration introduces a series of shirts with manga designs from Weekly Young Jump and Ribon. From GeGeGe no Kitaro and Chibi Maruko-chan to Kingdom and Tokyo Ghoul, this series is an expansive showcase of contemporary and classic titles.
I personally have my own Uniqlo UT collection with Elmo on print. It didn’t disappoint. Therefore, this new collection is also something we all should look forward too.
This newest effort delivers an expansive slate of stylized imagery. With different manga characters and interpretations, we can’t wait for July 6 as this newest collection will hit their stores.
