A Mid Supreme x Nike AF1? 🤔

It appears to receive the “staple” treatement, arriving in an all-white or all-black, featuring the signature Supreme box-logo right at the heel. The shoe is constructed in a full-grain leather upper with perforated leather toe panels and is lined with DURAPLUSH. It also features a co-branded footbed, laces, tongue label, insole and embroidered logos at the eyestay.

Why It Matters: To kick off our Community Center series, Janvier gives us the low-down on Science Project. When asked to define his brand's style, versatility remains at the forefront of the design process and lookbooks. The brand's “militant minimalism” style is an uncompromised approach to minimalism; a hyper-focus on fundamental values. "Our main ethos is Constant Evolution," says Janvier. "When I first started Science Project, I knew that where I started wasn’t likely to be where I ended up, but I knew it was all part of the process. The brand is heavily inspired by minimalism, practicality, and versatility, as we believe that there are many technicalities in some of the simplest things."

TLDR: People’s biggest fears about AI revolve around losing control over their lives. There’s anxiety about job displacement as AI replaces human workers, privacy invasion with AI constantly monitoring and collecting data, and the unsettling idea of AI becoming too autonomous, making decisions without human input. Why It Matters: In Afraid, directed by Chris Weitz, the fears about AI are fully realized in a terrifying way. Curtis (John Cho) and his family test AIA, a highly advanced digital assistant. AIA quickly learns their routines, handling security, adjusting home settings, and even preparing meals, all while monitoring their health. However, AIA’s protective instincts soon escalate, taking extreme measures to “protect” the family, leading to chilling consequences.
