Leaked details of Kanye West’s newest shoe release—the so-called Foam Runner—has drawn the attention of Twitter, which immediately dubbed them “Yeezy Crocs” and lampooned the sneaker for what some saw as a ridiculous design. While West himself has not confirmed the news, Yeezy Mafia, a blog that covers Adidas news, got ahold of what appears to be promotional photos of the Foam Runners from the latest issue of The Face magazine. The blog even noticed what appears to be a prototype of the “Yeezy Crocs” in a Forbes video interview (can be watched on our IGTV) with West from July. West’s shoe line still trails Michael Jordan’s sneaker empire in overall sales, but Yeezy is catching up. Jordan’s line does approximately $3 billion in annual sales, according to Forbes, while Yeezy is expected to top $1.5 billion in 2019.

A ‘Micro Harvest Moon’ will occur today and tomorrow depending on where you are on the planet. A micro moon looks smaller than usual, so this weekend’s Harvest Moon is going to be slightly less bright than average. Officially, the moon reaches 100% illumination at the same global time of 4:33am UTC, which is at 5.33 BST a.m./12:33 a.m. on Saturday and 9.33 p.m. PDT on Friday. However, that’s not when to observe the Harvest Moon, which is best done by looking to the east at moonrise on Friday or by looking to the west at moonset early on Saturday morning.

The millionaire founder of British fashion retailer White Stuff might have to tear down a building, private skateboard park and tennis court he built without permission in a protected natural area. Sean Thomas, who co-founded the clothing company with fellow keen skier and millionaire George Treves in 1985, built a two-storey double garage and the two sports facilities behind his mansion in South Hams, Devon. But the Gerston Point area is classed as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Thomas had not applied for planning permission to build the facilities. South Hams District Council ordered to demolish the structures after having been alerted by local residents. Thomas said he is considering appealing against the local authority decision and he has eight weeks to do so. (📸: West Alvington Parish Council/AP)

It is not coincidental that injectable botulinum toxin treatments have increased by more than 800% since the year 2000. A new study suggests the boom in cosmetic surgery and procedures is fueled by age discrimination. The study, in the July issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, found that a significant proportion of cosmetic surgery patients reported they were undergoing anti-aging procedures due to age discrimination or fear of age discrimination. According to the study, the stress of experiencing and/or anticipating age-based discrimination and rejection increases risk for psychological distress and can cause physical health problems. About 36% of the participants who experienced age discrimination said it occurred in an interpersonal context when they felt excluded by friends, family and coworkers, were teased or mocked, or had negative assumptions made about them due to age. About 20% of participants experienced age discrimination in the workplace; they reported having been fired or denied a job or promotion due to age. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, men received about six percent of injectable wrinkle reducer procedures in 2017, a 347% increase since 2000. Botox is the top non-surgical procedure for men in the United States and men between the ages of 35 to 50 make up the largest group seeking Botox. (📸: Getty)

Odell Beckham Jr. played the first game of the NFL 2019 season, wearing a $200,000 watch on his wrist. This is the first time in recent history we’ve seen a football player in any position wearing a watch during this high-contact sport. This was @obj’s first game with the Cleveland Browns and he caught seven passes – but it still didn’t help the Browns win against the Tennessee Titans. The bright orange watch looked to be the nearly $200,000 Richard Mille RM 11-03 Automatic Winding Flyback Chronograph McLaren. First introduced in 2018 and created in a limited edition of just 500 pieces, the watches gave McLaren customers the chance to match their edition number of their McLaren Ultimate Series car to the number engraved on the caseback of the watch. Richard Mille only signs on brand ambassadors who will wear their watches during play. However, Beckham Jr. is not a brand ambassador. Looks like he was just wearing his own watch. According to NFL.com, Beckham was in violation of a league rule about wearing hard accessories during play. (📸: Jason Miller/Getty Images)

Recently released court documents in the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal show the University of Southern California meticulously tracking the applications of the children of donors and potential donors in pursuit of contributions. Unearthed by attorneys defending parents implicated in last spring’s saga, the documents make clear that USC was no innocent victim. Rather, USC was energetically working to squeeze every possible dollar out of the same parents who were all too eager to buy access. A series of major newspaper accounts last week documented just how shamelessly university officials flagged and then targeted “special interest” applicants with high fundraising potential. The admissions file of one such applicant endorsed by the USC athletic department noted a “25,000 check and more later.” Another listed a $3 million donation to the men’s golf team. Yet another mentioned, “father is surgeon.” Email exchanges point to numerous instances where admissions officers’ qualms about the academic qualifications of “VIP” applicants were dismissed by university officials on account of their parents’ wealth.

It’s well known that Microsoft cofounder, investor and philanthropist Paul Allen lived a big life before he passed away of cancer last year at the age of 65. He was also an ocean explorer who’d travelled the world’s ocean’s aboard his 414-foot-long Explorer Yacht Octopus since it was launched back in 2003. Now, the yacht is for sale, with accommodation for up to 26 guests in 13 cabins, and 63 crew in 30 cabins. The yacht has an entire deck dedicated owner. It has a private bar and hot tub forward and private al fresco dining area aft to provide the owner with a sanctuary of privacy and security. While the yacht has two elevators servicing the guest areas onboard, one is dedicated to the owner’s exclusive use for travel throughout the yacht with discretion and ease. On the bridge deck below, guests have plenty of room for outdoor entertainment including a large pool aft along with a bar and pizza oven. Just beneath the bridge deck is a deck dedicated solely to entertainment where guests can enjoy a range of facilities including a spa, library and bar, cinema, gym, multiple lounges including a forward-facing observation area and a basketball court on the deck below. There is also a glass-bottomed observation lounge in the tank deck. In addition to seven tenders, two life rafts, an ROV capable of diving to 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) and several jet skis, Octopus is also capable of housing an SUV and two helicopters in the garage (one each for the fore and aft helipads), and its stern-access dock is home to a 13meters (42.6 feet) Hinckley Talaria tender and Pagoo, a submarine accommodating eight guests and two crew that can dive for up to eight hours. A dive center and hyperbaric chamber are also on board, along with a beach club with bar on the starboard side. (📸: Burgess Yachts)
