Simon Davidson photographed the 64th annual Bonneville SpeedWeek across Utah's salt flats, following racers, crews, hot rods, motorcycles and streamliners.
More than 500 entries gathered on the five-mile courses in 2012 to pursue land-speed records in the heat and salt.
The 14th Stone Island Shadow Project collection is a mirage on the horizon; a heat haze of perspective shifting inversion and refraction. Vibrant and gritty, granular and loose, it's the freshness and intensity of youth tempered by process and exposure to the elements. West coast Zephyr inspired colors are turned up to maximum saturation, then slightly muted by treatments both softening and metallic. Materials have an easy, lived-in feel, but retain the underlying edge of technical performance and real use. Loose street and slope born shapes flow with relaxed tailoring and diffused prep looks. Graphics are minimal definitions; outlines and impressions of the underlying framework.

EXHIBITION: The Mountains Between Us, FRIEZE No 9 Cork St
Weaving together photography, video and sculptural objects, lena_c_emery highlights the accelerated loss of mountain glaciers and the desperate conservation efforts currently employed to impede their decline. Under the continued influence of greenhouse-gas forced global warming, ice that took centuries to develop is vanishing in just a number of years. A fate experts predict for at least two-thirds of all glaciers by the end of this century. EMERY: In ‘The Mountains Between Us’, I capture the current environmental efforts undertaken to reduce the rate at which glaciers melt. Glaciers have held space for centuries, silently bearing witness to history. They’ve seen the world change in ways we can barely comprehend. Because my grandfather spent his life in these mountains, watching this particular glacier retreat and form lakes where there was previously only ice and at a pace that’s steadily increasing, feels deeply personal. The idea of covering these mammoths in fabric to stall the inevitable, feels both tragic and emblematic of our relationship with nature: The magnitude of loss countered by gestures that, though earnest, feel powerless. Visually these wrapped peaks evoke images of muddied tents, makeshift shelters that we’ve come to erect for those displaced by upheaval. This fragility, their fragility, our fragility, is a direct reflection of the imbalance we have sown, where those least responsible for ecological destruction are forced to bear its heaviest burdens. The title became a way to frame those divides. Mountains have always symbolised barriers, but perhaps they could also be reimagined as thread, shared histories and a collective belonging. The elemental particles composing our very being once danced amidst these ancient landscapes and if they disappear, part of us does too.
Figures from US patent application US20250160486A1, 'Knitted Shoe Upper', filed by Adidas AG (inventors Stefan Tamm, Carl Arnese and James Carnes; published 22 May 2025). The upper is knitted in one piece with two zones, a more elastic yarn and a stiffer yarn, placing stretch and support without seams or separate reinforcement panels. The drawings show the yarn zones and construction across forefoot, midfoot and heel.
Arc’teryx A2B Commuter Jacket W Chalk 15536, released 2015. Technical soft shell with motoi lines.
These pants a cut slightly shorter for better running comfort. Great for slightly harsher weather conditions. Insideout construction for seamless fit inside. From the Nike Running Gyakusou collection. Made in Japan.
The women’s S/LAB EXO tee maps its support structure across the shoulders, spine and lower torso without turning the shirt into a hard compression shell. Open knit, 37.5 fabric and a skin fit keep it light enough for long trail efforts.
The women’s S/LAB EXO T-Shirt turns the EXO grid into mapped bands at the neckline, spine and hem. A form-fitting nylon stretch knit holds the structure close, while 37.5 thermoregulation and open mesh manage heat through long trail efforts.
A 1/4-scale image model of the Gynoid from Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. Eisaku Kito modified the figure and built its opening panels and mechanical components; Yuji Oniki made the base body; Takayuki Takeya completed the hair, makeup and weathering.
The Holiday 2014 collection is restored as the original seven-image studio set, separating it from the Holiday 2013 forest campaign.
The women’s S/LAB EXO Tank treats support as a mapped structure. A polyurethane EXO Sensifit grid braces the upper chest, shoulders and spine, while Smart Skin places Actilite Pro jersey through the core and open stretch mesh at the heat zones. The skin fit keeps the grid engaged; flatlock seams and reflective marks finish the racing layer without adding bulk.
Dan's Hida-Furukawa (飛騨古川) follows the Seto River canal through the preserved old town of Furukawa in Hida City, Gifu Prefecture. The photograph was taken on April 15, 2009.
Teresa Marolles' "Frontera" reflects on the dramatic scale of drug trafficking in Mexican society. The artist has used basic but very striking elements to create the works in "Frontera", and despite their minimalist style, they reveal great emotional depth and tragedy. The works go beyond the specific context that gave rise to them, with a universal value that explores our mechanisms of denial and the taboos still surrounding death and violence in contemporary society. The Museion exhibition features walls where executions took place, that the artist took down in Mexico and rebuilt in Bolzano—Muro Baleado (Culiacán), 2009, and Muro Ciudad Juárez, 2010—along with the works Plancha, 2010 and Cubo, 2010, a minimalist cube weighing a ton made out of iron from reinforced concrete taken from demolished buildings. The Bolzano exhibition will also be the first opportunity to see the filmed action Camiseta, created specially for "Frontera" and shot in the cities of Juarez, Kassel and Bolzano.'

TinyMtn crafts 3D-printed mini sculptures of some of the most storied peaks and valleys in the United States. Whether you want to remember the time you backpacked through Yosemite or peered over the edge of the Grand Canyon, TinyMtn offers a bit of a topographic reminder. Each comes on a small stand with the name, peak, and coordinates displayed, and makes for an ideal piece of art for the adventurer at heart.
Matthias Heiderich's landscape study contrasts pale eroded mineral formations with steep charcoal-grey ridges. The photograph was taken on April 29, 2012.

The aluminium geodesic dome at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, erected in 1975. The unheated 50-metre shell did not house people but sheltered clusters of modular buildings from wind and drifting snow. Retired when the elevated station opened, it was dismantled in 2009-2010.
The Nike SFB (Special Field Boot) in Summit White (512539-111), from the boot's Holiday 2011 run. A lightweight field boot with a zip and speed-lacing.
