They say nothing in life is free, but we're not so sure about that. One of our favourite things to do with Feel-Good Friday is to bring you freebies, and this week we've got some crackers: from free Nike runners, to free caviar, there's a lot of good stuff being given away in the next week.
Of course you'll need to deal with some qualifying factors, but we tend to think its usually worth it. Have a look to see what you can get your hands on, and enjoy this week's Feel-Good Friday.

Get Your Hands on Free* Caviar at Franca until 9 June
With World Caviar Day fast approaching, Sydney brasserie Franca is looking to share the love with a reimagining of it's signature Moreton Bay Bug Roll dish—by adding a free* side of Oscietra Caviar until this Sunday, 8 June.
The Bug Roll is worth $28, and a cheeky side of caviar usually costs $30, so there's some legit savings to be had. There are always restrictions, though, and in order to qualify for this one you'll need to be one of the ten lucky people Franka serves each day between 5 and 6 pm. Look, we never said it'd be easy, but if you've got a taste for caviar and want to get in on a delicious roll as well, it's probably worth attempting to book ahead.
You don't need a booking, but I have a feeling this'll sell out quick.

The Iconic Giving Free Nike Runners to the Fittest Among Us
This one is for all the runners in Sydney itching for a new challenge this weekend. For the next two Saturdays, 7 and 14 June, fashion marketplace The Iconic is looking to give away 50 fresh pairs of Nike runners to whoever can run faster than a van. Yes, really, but let me explain.
On each Saturday, The Iconic will reveal a 'secret location' through it's Instagram account that you'll have to get to within 3 hours, signifying The Iconic's typical delivery time for its products. Not only do you have to get there, though, you'll also need to show proof that you've already run 5km that day—whether that be at the crack of dawn, or literally dragging yourself across the finish line—before The Iconic's delivery van rocks up at 11am.
Come prepared with a pair of Nike sneakers wishlisted, and proof of your run on any fitness app, to get your hands (or feet) on some goodies.

Aesop's Queer Library Returns to Melbourne Next Week
Australian luxury cosmetics brand Aesop is bringing its Queer Library initiative back for the fifth year running, with the brand's Prahan store being transformed into a library filled with books written by LGBTQIA+ authors.
The books on show will be filled with stories focused around a central theme of 'In Other Words': celebrating the liberating possibilities of LGBTQIA+ self expression, Aesop said, as well as the stories that can be found outside of hetero-normative constraints.
If that sounds interesting to you, Aesop's Prahan store will be hosting the initiative from 11 to 15 June, with all visitors gifted a complimentary book of their choice care of the brand's Queer Library collaborator, Penguin Random House.

Fujifilm Launching 'The Moment Club' this July
A little further out but no less exciting, Fujifilm is taking us back to the 80s with the launch of its X half camera—and it's throwing a party to celebrate: 'The Moment Club', a first-of-its-kind experience showing off how cameras used to be.
The event will aim to teach aspiring photographers how to use the X half effectively, inlcuding how to take the ultimate bathroom selfie, and how to take the best cocktail snaps. It'll be held at Baptist Street Rec Club, Redfern, on Saturday 12 July, and tickets will cost $25.
'We're thrilled to launch The Moment Club and give people a space to disconnect, have fun, and enjoy the moment all while offering them a medium to express themselves creatively,' said Fujifilm Australia's head of marketing, electronic imaging and optical devices division, Leanne Hughes.
'We can't wait for people to get hands-on and create something that lasts.'

Levi's x Nike Air Max 95 is a Denim-Clad Sneaker of the Year Contender, Here's Where to Cop
By Ben McKimm - News Published: 25 June 2025 Share Copy Link Readtime: 4 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Nike and Levi's are back in the kitchen. The brands have previously cooked up some of the best sneaker collaborations in memory, and now they're back with a line-up that merges the rich denim heritage of Levi's® with Nike's legendary Air Max 95 silhouette. It's the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95, and the releases aren't slowing down. We've already seen the Big Bubble Bright Mandarin returns alongside the Big Bubble Bright Neon. However, outside of a handful of collaborative pieces with brands like Cortiez and Stash, the silhouette hasn't been given an all-over makeover. Now, that's set to change as Levi's treats the shoe to premium Levi's® denim materials and unique design elements that honour both brands' DNA. OG 'Big Bubble' Air Max units, stealthy and smooth colourways, the Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 will release in three colourways on July 10th 2025, on the Levi's® App, in select Levi's® flagship stores, and on July 11th on SNKRS. Look out for campaign images below that feature hip-hop artist Larry June, WNBA player Paige Bueckers, NFL player Keon Coleman, and designer Daniel Buezo. Forget 'double denim,' we're rocking triple denim for the rest of the year. Yee-haw! Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 Black | Image: Supplied / Levi's The Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 will arrive in three colour-ways: Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 Denim Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 Black Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 White/Ecru Sneakerheads will be happy to hear that the Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 carries the torch of recent releases, utilising the OG 'Big Bubble' Air Max units that give a nod to the original Nike Air Max 95. Meanwhile, the upper is slightly slimmed down for a more wearable design, which is again, closer to the OG in style. Detail-wise, the Levi's® iconic Red Tab appears under the Nike swoosh on the right shoe only, while the shank displays Levi's® red branding. The sock liner showcases a Levi's® dollar bill print on a red substrate. All three colourways are presented in custom packaging – classic Nike Air Max 95 boxes redesigned in Levi's® red with added batwing details.

The latter features selvedge denim and matching mid-to-light wear patterns alongside the signature off-white chain-stitching details. Our favourite element, however, is the co-branded brown leather patches with Nike swoosh logos that replace traditional Levi's® elements. You'll find a similar highlight on the Levi's® x Nike Trucker Jacket, which features the staple Type II structure with selvedge running through the interior placket and a prominent chainstitch Nike logo on the back. 'In collaboration with Nike, we set out to craft an immersive experience that celebrates both brands' shared legacy and forward-thinking spirit,' said Leo Gamboa, VP of Collaborations at Levi's. 'The opportunity to reimagine the iconic Nike Air Max 95 in honour of its 30th anniversary was a true milestone.' 'By integrating our signature denim into one of Nike's most iconic silhouettes, we've created a seamless fusion of sport and lifestyle—honouring the past while pushing the boundaries of design.' Look for the full collection to release on July 10th 2025 on the Levi's® App, in select Levi's® flagship stores, and on July 11th on SNKRS.

Nike Moves the Tech Fleece Era Forward With Everyday 24.7 Apparel Collection
By Ben McKimm - News Published: 24 June 2025 Share Copy Link Readtime: 4 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Tapered joggers, bonded seams, and streamlined silhouettes, the Nike Tech Fleece era had streetwear and fashion communities in a chokehold in the early 2010s. Drake, LeBron, and Kanye West are just some of the celebrities who helped it explode in popularity. While the ladies had lululemon leggings, the men slept, ate, and exercised in their Tech Fleece track pants. The sub-brand grew alongside the rise of athleisure in the mid-2010s before taking off at a moment when people wanted clothes that were comfortable, stylish, and versatile. You could wear a Tech Fleece tracksuit to the gym and then hit the shops on the way home to do your groceries. Even the sneakerheads couldn't get enough of them, and they were the perfect match for a pair of Jordans or Air Maxes. Now, with the Tech Fleece movement a distant memory, Nike is hunting for their next athleisure success story. The new Nike 24.7 apparel collection is their bet, and after wearing it for the last few weeks, we're on board. Nike 24.7 collection | Image: Supplied / Nike The Nike 24.7 collection is designed to be versatile and distraction-free, and is then tailored for all-day comfort. While the designs are the selling point, it's best broken down into materials first, as they're a focus of the collection. Two new technical materials with industry-leading Dri-FIT technology arrive here with the collection. ImpossiblySoft is the first, and you'll find it on a handful of men's and women's pieces in the Nike 24.7 collection, including the Men's Dri-FIT Polo, Dri-FIT Crew, Dri-FIT 6″ Shorts, Dri-FIT Slim Chino Pants, Cardigan, Dri-FIT 1/2-Zip Top, and Dri-FIT Pants. That's right, there's a cardigan made in the same Spacer-knit fabric with four-way stretch, and it feels incredible to wear despite the fabric being a polyester base. 'The Nike 24.7 collection has truly raised the bar,' said Dina Asher-Smith, sprinter and Nike athlete. 'The fabrics feel and look soft and luxurious, and the tonal branding is beautiful. The pieces have become my new favourites because they blend performance and style in a way that feels really authentic and effortless.' Nike 24.7 collection | Image: Supplied / Nike Nike 24.7 collection | Image: Supplied / Nike Nike 24.7 collection | Image: Supplied / Nike Nike 24.7 collection | Image: Supplied / Nike The second material is PerfectStretch. This is our favourite of the two, with a tailored, four-way stretch fabric, it's designed for suit-like looks, and we'd be comfortable wearing this all day, every day. You'll find it on the Men's Dri-FIT Regular Chino Pants (AUD$125), Dri-FIT Short-Sleeve Snap-Down Top, Dri-FIT 6″ Shorts, Dri-FIT Slim Chino Pants, Dri-FIT 5-Pocket Slim-Fit Pant, Dri-FIT UV Pants, and a handful of women's pieces, including a Pleated Skirt and Oversized Full-Zip Jacket. Details are thoroughly thought out with locker loops inspired by gear hung to dry in the locker room alongside internal, heat-pressed product tags with the Total Orange stripe, and a tonal branding that's seen throughout the collection. We're not sure how much Kim Kardashian's SKIMS fashion label and Fear of God Essentials have to do with the design inspiration of these products, but it's hard not to see similarities, especially in the men's pieces. 'Nike Training is dedicated to supporting all athletes to be better — whether for sport or life,' said Jaclyn Safley, GM, Global Nike Training, Women's. 'The Nike 24.7 collection embodies this commitment, delivering unmatched innovation with performance materials, ultimate comfort, and an elevated fit thoughtfully crafted for every body and every move.' Released back on January 25th, 2025 at and at select retail locations on January 30th, the Nike 24.7 collection is available right now in Australia at the brand's website linked below. Women's pieces arrive in Western (2XS – 2XL) and Asian (XS – 2XL) sizing, and men's pants are available in numeric sizing with slim and standard styles. Prices range between AUD$70 and AUD$160, which is standard for athleisure.
