Friday Top Five:: 07.01.22
Each week in our ‘Friday Top Five’ segment, we feature five things we thought were interesting, notable, or culturally significant. This week we are showcasing stories on the dynamic duo Yolonda Edwards and Matt Hranek and their Summer 2022 Editions of their respective magazines WM Brown Project and Yolo Journal. Wine gets a little more customized thanks to First Leaf Club. If you are going to get customized with wine, you might as well do the same with your house lighting. And last but certainly not least, Nike drops the release date for the Chicago 1 this October!

STORY-1:: WM BROWN MAGAZINE - SUMMER 2022
Overview:: The summer issue of Wm Brown is out! I am here in Rome and have finally seen and held the issue in my hands--and I have to say it is chock full of good summer tips from shoes to skin care. (If you don’t have it already, you can buy it from our site directly, or a stockist near you—we have them all listed here.) Also, I am currently stationed in the European bureau/HQ for the summer, so I’ll have plenty of time to report and post more regularly on some of my favorite things from the Eurozone, including food, drinks, travel destinations and finds. I get a lot of DMs via Instagram that often get lost, so while I am here (and focused) I am happy to take on some of your questions about Italy and France in the comments section below. With many of you now enjoying the freedom of summer travel I have put a quick list of some of my favorite things to consider for the summer travel season:

STORY-4:: Smart button & Smart Lights
Overview: This summer it is all about Smart Lights, Smart Buttons, and Smart Homes. Who better to bring that to you than the good people from Phillip’s Hue.
Smart Button Controls
A single click controls your smart lights —no smartphone is needed. Use one press to turn your lights on and off or press and hold the button to dim and brighten them. Already set up to do exactly what you need, the Philips Hue Smart button is ready to use wherever you need it. This little button makes a big impact. A single click controls your lights while pressing and holding the button dims or brightens them. Better yet: your lights will turn on to our recommended color and brightness based on the time of day.
Lily Outdoor spotlight
This Lily spotlight 3-pack lets you highlight your favorite outdoor features, create interesting shadows, and more. Simply connect the smart outdoor spotlights into any standard wall socket using the included low-voltage power supply to get millions of shades of white or color light in your yard

STORY-5:: Air Joran 1 “Chicago” is Coming Back!!!
Overview: The last time we saw the Air Jordan 1 “Chicago” get retroed from Jordan Brand was in 2015 and looks like 7 years later, the iconic colorway returns to the Air Jordan 1 with a twist in 2022.
The shape of the upcoming sneaker is going to be more like the 1985 release, with distressing and aging expected to appear on the upper and midsole. The iconic colorway features a white leather upper and white nylon tongue, with red leather overlays sans the Swoosh and ankle collar appearing in black. The tongue tag is seen in red with white Nike branding, a white midsole, and a red outsole finishing off the sneaker.
