Well this one came out of no where. Today, Terminator: Dark Fate dropped a new trailer for the upcoming release on the 1st November.
More then two decades after the events of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Sarah Connor sets out to protect a young woman named Dami Ramos and her friends, as a liquid metal terminator (played by Gabriel Luna known for his role as Ghost Rider from Season 4 of Agents of SHIELD) sent from the future attempts to terminate them to adjust the timeline once again.
This trailer looks bad ass. Tim Miller directs this version with James Cameron coming back on board as producer.

After nearly a 10 year hiatus, ASICS is set to bring back an iconic performance trainer. The original, much loved and recognized Glacier/Black colorway of the GEL-KINSEI is set drop at the end of August.
Hisanori Fujita, the lead designer of the GEL-KINSEI was greatly influenced by traditional Japanese heritage. The development of the GEL-KINSEI was largely impacted by the armour of the fierce Samurais during the EDO period in Japan. The armours where meant to make a bold statement as evident in their design. And while mechanically and technically protective, they allowed the freedom of movement to the ancient warriors. Hisanori took all these traits and imbued them to the DNA of the GEL-KINSEI.
The GEL-KINSEI initially made its debut in 2006. The trainer was widely viewed as ahead of its time. Not only was it technically and mechanically alluring, but it was saturated with all of ASICS’ available advance performance features.
The ground breaking TRUSSTIC technology placed under the arc of the shoe and which was first introduced in the model, allowed ASICS to significantly reduce the overall weight of the shoe. Not only did this allow for longer wear but also prolonged the life of the sole. But the true hero of the trainer is the IGS (Impact Guidance System) technology. 3 large sections of GEL technology are bonded to the heel area. It has the ability to absorb rear foot impact and at the same time provide stability to the runner as the foot travels through. This provides an excellent transition from foot impact to toe-off. Finally, the BIOMORPHIC FIT tech identical to the GEL-KAYANO was used on the uppers to provide maximum comfort and flexibility on the foot.
ASICS brought back a modern classic. The techno-modern styling of the GEL-KINSEI seems to seamlessly fit right into today’s modern fashion standards. And yet it is imbued with ground-breaking technology that still allows it to meet and exceed the demands of modern athletes.
“I initially wanted a mismatched Kyrie 5 pair via Nike ID but it was too expensive to make 2 pairs and it wasn’t really practical to only use one half of each for balling. However, when I saw leaked images and previews of the Kyrie 5 x Spongebob on the internet I knew straight away copping those would be a much better option.
I camped out for the Spongebob and Patrick Kyrie 5s even though I would only be using one half of each pair. Luckily enough, a mate of mine saw the mismatched pair I was wearing on court and immediately said he wanted the same kicks. I ended up selling him the other half of the pairs I didn’t need. In the end it all worked out. I managed to get the mismatched pair I wanted for the cost of 1 pack.
Kyrie 5s are amazing to ball in. The Ankle support is top notch. The traction is amazing, specially on the gum soled spongebob version. It’s very grippy during lateral movements and hesi-fakes during fast breaks. Breathable uppers that retains it shape and doesn’t allow the feet to overheat. Pillowy cushioning because of the Zoom Air Turbo. I would recommend going up half a size up, because it can be a bit tight on the toe-box area.
Having been a big fan of the show, I had this funny idea. Wearing mismatched pairs feels like wearing two characters. If Patrick has an off night, then maybe Spongebob can step-up and make me play better.”

Earlier this year, Asics introduced us to the GEL-Quantum 360 5 model. A street styled silhouette combined with the Asics heel to forefoot patented gel cushioning tech. The futuristic and fashion savvy looks of the Infinity 360 5 was met with a resounding success and approval by the sneaker enthusiast and the sports training community.
So how does one top that?
Well you pretty much take what has made you successful and blow it up to infinite levels.
Welcome to the Asics GEL-Quantum Infinity Era. Read on for our in depth review.
The saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” does not apply to the science wizards at the Asics Laboratory in Kobe, Japan. The question proposed was: How you do outdo a 360 gel set up? The answer came in the most Zen-Like manner.
Create a midsole and sole totally out of Gel.
The Asics Gel Quantum Infinity is the first ever trainer that features a full length and visible heel to toe GEL Technology. This is the main highlight of the trainer. The GEL apparently is made from inert polymers to derive silicon. From our experience, the cushioning was not overly squishy and unstable. Foams from the other brands tend to overdo the amount of foams used in the heel and forefoot. This unevenness causes instability during strides. Which sometimes, ironically result in plantar foot pains. As such, you will not find the GEL Quantum infinity to be overly pillowy in ride. Instead you’ll find a much more ample and responsive cushion with maximum stability with each ground strike.
The trainer also features a blue ortholite insole to provide maximum comfort. The insole we reckon is very breathable. This allowed for a much cooler environment inside the trainer during our longer runs.
CUSHION: 5/5
The uppers of the trainer is made with a seamless one piece engineered mesh that was done with 3D Puff Printing. Created in a vacuum environment without any sewing. We reckon this made the GEL-Quantum Infinity very light weight and added further to its breathability. We initially thought that there would be issues with the slimmer tongue. Our previous experiences with such a tooling was not pleasant. Slim tongues tend to slip and slide to the slides after prolonged usage. However, this was not the case here. A higher placement of the tongue loop for laces made sure it stayed in place. Also, despite being made out of a slim hardened plastic like material, it did not feel like it was cutting through the top of our foot. We recommend going true to your size.
FIT: 4/5
Do not let the simple set up of the traction fool you. Again, this is a case of being less is more. You won’t find the traditional herringbone patterns here often seen in runners. Instead the trainer’s sole is made up of a combination of GEL and rubber. The water-like and mentos-like knobs inside the pattern of the sneaker is also made out of GEL. Not only does is provide additional cushioning but the spaces in between acts like a suction cup that provides the very grippy traction we experienced in various road conditions.
The midsole and outsole is very, very flexible since they are almost made entirely out of GEL. While we had no issues with foot fatigue, we’ll try to figure out if the lack of a proper midfoot shank would hurt our enjoyment in the long run.
TRACTION: 4/5
Staying true to its Japanese roots. The overall looks of the trainer is sleek and minimal upon first glance. From afar, only the ASICS tiger stripes is visible and the GEL midsoles. Come closer and you’ll see and appreciate the intricate web-like design of the PUFF 3D printing method and the water-like droplets of the sole underneath. These two elements seem to mesh harmoniously together for some reason. In an era where brands are all about the bells and whistles of their kicks, we appreciate it when a brand finally offers something clean and functional.
The model we got came in the sour yozu/black colorway. While it wasn’t implied and didn’t dawn on us first, we did notice it resembled the familiar Australian Team colors of Green and Gold. We thought that was really dope!
LOOKS: 4/5
The Japanese character of ‘Katakana’ can be found in the heel and in the tongue of the trainer. The word means ‘Infinity.’ As we mentioned before, Asics was going for a very minimalist one-piece design to carry its new GEL cushioning technology. If you’re looking for an all-rounder and an everyday walking shoe this could be the trainer for you.
Asics has once again pushed the envelope of Zen design marrying with its latest cushioning tech, we can’t wait to see what their scientist at Kobe Japan will cook up next.
Its about that time again that Sony is going to upgrade to another console and with the leaked diagram posted, its getting Gamers hyped up again. With some special graphics skills the Console was able to be rendered and we can have a realistic view of how it will look like.
The main unit has a very distinguishable “V” on the fore front. People are saying that its a symbol in terms of the Roman Numerical number for 5. the top, sides and back are littered with air vents for a futurstic aesthetic. But with all the tech going inside it such as the 8K game graphics, 8-core AMD Ryzen Processor and SSD for shorter loading times this little beast will need all the air flow it can get.

Release dates are still unannounced but keep your eyes peeled on Sony for more updates.
Thats right, you have read that title correctly. The toy company behind the likes of Mr Potato Head, My Little Pony & Transformers have acquired one of the biggest gangster rap labels, Death Row Records.

eOne (Entertainment One) became Death Row’s parent company when it bought the label’s catalogue for approx $280 million back in 2013, which was about 7 years after Death Row declared bankruptcy.
With the eOne acquisition, Hasbro now owns popular kids brands like Peppa Pig & PJ Masks.
