New Balance is building on the success of its retro running shoes from the early 2000s with the new 1906A in a colorway called “Arid Stone.” This shoe takes the classic 1906 design and gives it a deliberately unfinished, deconstructed look inspired by cutting-edge streetwear. The result is a striking and unique style that still feels modern and easy to wear, thanks to its natural, desert-inspired color scheme.
The book series the new show is based on, The Captive’s War, is also written by the creators of The Expanse – Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.

The recent comic arc, The Punisher: One Last Kill, has significantly improved Frank Castle’s story within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The Classics catalog has recently added some great titles, like the original Ridge Racer and Wild Arms 4. While not everything added is a universally beloved classic – Wall-E is a fantastic movie, but its tie-in game wasn’t as groundbreaking – this month’s addition feels more like those highly-regarded titles. It’s a standout release, similar in quality to Ridge Racer, rather than the more ordinary Wall-E game.
Marvel’s ‘Special Presentations’ are rare treats within the MCU. ‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’ is only the third of these standalone specials, after ‘Werewolf by Night’ and ‘The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’.
