Polo Ralph Lauren Honors Oak Bluffs' Rich Community
Building on its partnership with HBCUs, including Morehouse and Spelman Colleges, the quintessential American label is taking its classic academic wares from the quad to the beachtown, with embroidered twill jackets, sailing-ready coats, sun-faded sweaters, and Maritime-inspired statements referencing pieces worn by the New England town's generations of residents.
The island is known to draw close-knit alumni from the aforementioned schools, so the lineup is also filled with collegiate pieces repping both Morehouse and Spelman's mascots, the Maroon Tiger and the Jaguar, respectively.
'This collection is about more than a charming coastal town; it's a story of the American dream,' said Ralph Lauren. 'Oak Bluffs' unique history, traditions and sense of community deeply inspire me and speak to what we are all searching for – a place where you can be free, uncontrived, joyful and truly at home.'
The Polo Ralph Lauren for Oak Bluffs collection will be available to shoponlineand in select stores, as well as on both Morehouse and Spelman Colleges campuses, on July 24. See the collection in the gallery above.

How to Style a Spider in 2025 and Where to Buy Yours
You are seeing it everywhere. From Instagram scrolls to late-night pop-ups downtown, Spider clothing is crawling its way into closets across the States. But how do you wear it? More importantly, where do you even buy it without falling into fake traps? This guide breaks it all down. From fit checks to colour drops, we are showing you how Spider fits into the USA streetwear game in 2025. Streetwear changes every few years, but now and then, a brand hits different. Spider is not about loud hype. It is about showing up bold, owning space, and blending streetwear with design that tells a story. In American fashion history, we have seen this before, like when Supreme came through in the early 2000s or when A Bathing Ape made camo mainstream. Spider is the new wave. And this time, it is homegrown and heat-packed. The Spider logo is not just a visual, is a vibe. That stretched spider emblem feels risky and raw. It often drops in reflective ink, glow-in-the-dark prints, or puff details on cotton fleece. From front-chest designs to full-back spins, it keeps things sharp. People instantly know when you walk by: that is Spider. Most collections keep the logo clean but big. Think hoodie centre chest or oversized on the back. Some come stitched; others are printed. Either way, it hits hard. The biggest flex in 2025? Colour combos. Spider keeps you guessing every season with fresh palettes. This year, the talk is all about: Grey and green Spider tracksuit (earthy tones, perfect for fall) (earthy tones, perfect for fall) Red Spider tracksuit (power play, city runner vibes) (power play, city runner vibes) Brown Spider tracksuit (minimalist street style) (minimalist street style) Spider pink tracksuit (bold, not soft—Miami-core) (bold, not soft—Miami-core) Spider hoodie grey (goes with everything, wear daily) (goes with everything, wear daily) Camo Spider pants (urban jungle energy) (urban jungle energy) Spider camo sweatpants (a streetwear essential) Colour choice is not just a look. It is the mood. One piece, and you are in the style lane. Spider usually runs true to size, but that depends on your style goal. Want it snug? Stick to your regular size. Want that oversized, runway-feel? Go one up. Hoodies and jackets? Thicker than average. Expect drop shoulders, kangaroo pockets, and length that hits below the waist. For tracksuits like the Atlanta Sp5der tracksuit, expect a wider leg and elastic ankles—easy to pair with high-top kicks or even slides. Hoodies : Oversized with front-and-back prints. Check the 555 555 hoodie or the official Spider hoodie lines for classics. Oversized with front-and-back prints. Check the or the lines for classics. Tracksuits: Famous pieces like the Sp5der tracksuit , Spider tracksuit red , and grey and green Spider tracksuit are hot drops. Some include zip-ups; others pullover fits.

Some carry the logo big, others drop it subtly. Check for Spider t-shirts when the weather heats up. There have been whispers—and some drops—about Spider teaming with Atlanta creatives and underground rappers. One collection even dropped under the label Spider Atlanta tracksuit, pushing bold graphics with city codes. A rumoured mix with graffiti artists also sparked during the early spring line. The colours? Straight from street murals. Designs? Limited release. The message was clear: Spider is not just fashion. It is a movement.

No gimmicks. Just statement wear. Spider gear holds up if you treat it right. Always wash inside-out. Stick to cold water to protect dyes and print. Avoid tumble drying, hang dry to keep the fit intact. Especially for pieces like the sp5der tracksuit, you do not want heat messing up the webbing detail. Wash colours separately. Red bleeds. Pink fades. And metallic inks crack if you use bleach. Be smart. Air it out, fold neatly, and your Spider will last. You can search 'what is the official Spider hoodie website' but we already got you. It is linked directly on the Spider official Instagram bio. That leads to the Spider website, where you find new arrivals and newsletter links. Bookmark it. You do not want to miss the next Atlanta sp5der tracksuit launch. You do not need fake reviews. Real people talk. 'You feel the weight. This ain't fast fashion,' says Tre from Dallas, rocking his third official Spider hoodie. Tasha from Oakland says, 'My Spider hoodie grey is my go-to for travel. Gets compliments every time.' Another fan from Miami dropped this: 'It gives early Travis Scott, but more street than fashion week.' Keep your eyes peeled for: 20% off promos during Memorial Day Bundle deals on hoodies + pants Seasonal sale pages on the Spider official website Early access drops for email subscribers Free shipping for orders over $120 Follow the official store's newsletter to never miss a code. Let us be honest: Spider vs Supreme : Supreme is old guard. Spider is louder, newer, and more design-forward. vs : Supreme is old guard. Spider is louder, newer, and more design-forward. Spider vs Off-White : Off-White is higher price, often luxury-styled. Spider stays closer to the street. vs : Off-White is higher price, often luxury-styled. Spider stays closer to the street. Spider vs Fear of God Essentials: Essentials are clean and simple. Spider is graphic, edgy, and statement-heavy. If you want quiet fits, go with them. If you want people to stop and stare? Spider all day. You now know how to wear Spider. You know how to choose the right colours, how to care for your gear, where to buy legit items, and what people think about it. Remember, it is more than just putting on a tracksuit. It is about being bold without asking for attention. That is the vibe of Spider in 2025. What is the official Spider hoodie website? Visit the official Spider hoodie website or the Spider clothing official website for real drops. How often do they drop new colours? About every season, 4 times a year. Is the 555 555 hoodie limited? Yes. Limited runs. Once sold out, rarely restocked. Do Spider sizes run small or big? They run true to size, but go up one if you want a loose fit. Where is Spider based? USA roots. Heavy presence in Atlanta, NYC, and LA. Let your style speak. Let Spider be the voice. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

GO-CHI Sci-Fi Short Film is a Mind-Bending Collision of Cyberpunk and the Divine — GeekTyrant
What happens when ancient spiritualism tangles with high-tech warfare in a psychedelic, end-of-days data heist? That's exactly what the sci-fi short film GO-CHI sets out to explore. Set in a dystopian future pulsing with digital decay and esoteric energy, the film follows Nector, a rogue data-runner from the secretive Black Ego group, as he uploads forbidden intel in the middle of a trance. Surrounded by chanting, drugs, and relics of old-world mysticism, the countdown to his demise begins when the government's orbital weapon, Meghnath, locks onto his location. The film ramps up the tension when Nector injects a mysterious compound known only as Go-Chi right before impact, unleashing something completely unexpected. As described, 'In a high-tech dystopia where ancient mysticism collides with orbital warfare, a rogue data-runner named Nector enters a trance-fueled upload mission that triggers a government strike. With seconds to spare, he injects a mysterious drug—Go-Chi—unlocking a supernatural twist that bends the fate of man and machine. The title is paying homage to a cult reference from Sacred Games (2018).' GO-CHI delivers a visually arresting, thought-provoking fusion of cyberpunk chaos and sacred delirium.
