While presented as a joint effort, each shoe is designed independently, reflecting the unique vision of its creator. BILLY'S Tokyo draws inspiration from whiskey barrels — a nod to the UK's signature liquor, which has been widely embraced by Japanese culture. As well as inspiration from brick buildings the pair features a rich brown upper with textured leathers and suede accents, evoking the warmth and rugged elegance of aged whiskey.

Josh Brown says Tesla investor base doesn't care about Musk-Trump feud: 'I wouldn't bet against it'
Ritholtz Wealth Management CEO Josh Brown said Tesla investors will look past the online feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump that led to a sell-off on Thursday. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and a key supporter of Trump during his election, exchanged barbs with the president online on Thursday — a shocking turn given their previous allegiance. Shares of the electric vehicle maker tumbled more than 14% on Thursday, but gained more than 5% in midday trading on Friday. "The drama on Twitter is hilarious. Of course, everyone's having a great time," Brown said on CNBC's "Halftime Report," using the former name for social media platform X. "But I think the real story here is the investor base in Tesla literally doesn't care about anything." TSLA 5D mountain Tesla, 5-day Brown pointed out that Tesla is losing market share in most key areas. However, he said investors have decided to think of the company as a robot and automation name with some artificial intelligence work rather than an electric vehicle maker. Investors think "the car sales are only important insofar as they get us to the robotaxi, which is the next trillion-dollar idea," Brown said. "I don't believe that, but that's what the market believes." Brown called the name a "nothing-matters stock," noting that it trades at 120-times earnings. He said investors may use Thursday's sell-off as a chance to buy on a dip. Shares are now down more than 25% in 2025. "It's just incredible how faithful this shareholder base is," Brown said. "I wouldn't bet against it."

Wearable tech hits the trails: Hypershell will gift 30 exoskeletons on National Trails Day
New York Post may receive revenue from affiliate and advertising partnerships for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Park rangers across America are about to power up, all thanks to a first-of-its-kind partnership with the brand that developed one of the world's first wearable exoskeletons. Leading robotics company, Hypershell, announced that it will donate 30 of its Hypershell Pro X units to the American Hiking Society to celebrate National Trails Day on June 7. The contribution marks a unique opportunity to bring the benefits of wearable technology into the depths of nature. Maintaining over 250,000 miles of public trails is not an easy feat — it requires funding, time, labor, and equipment. In honor of National Trails Day, these exoskeletons will be deployed to park volunteers across the country, assisting as the experts carry out demanding repairs in rugged environments. Advertisement 'For nearly 50 years, the American Hiking Society has worked to protect and expand access to trails for all communities. Our partnership with Hypershell reflects a bold, shared vision: to break down barriers and reimagine what's possible,' said Heather Klein Olson, executive director of the American Hiking Society. Hypershell's lightweight, AI-powered wearable exoskeletons are designed to offset bodyweight, enhance movement, and reduce effort for outdoor activities and daily endurance. For people who spend all day trekking through rough terrain, these suits can help them go the extra mile. The public will also be able to take this wearable tech for a test ride, and new members who join the American Hiking Society will also earn a $20 coupon at Hypershell and will be automatically entered to win a free Hypershell Pro X. Or, you can secure one yourself right from Hypershell's website, if you're willing to drop a little over $1000. Hypershell Inspired by the Japanese cyberpunk show 'Ghost in the Shell', the Hypershell Pro X debuted in 2024 with a bold goal: to redefine human limits with AI-driven, horsepower-backed wearable technology. The exoskeleton fuses durable carbon fiber with precision torque construction, all guided by an AI-based motion engine that tells the machine how to move to amplify the body's range and mobility. The more it's used, the better it adapts to walking, running, and climbing styles. It's not exactly rocket science, but it does feel like something from the future, according to many lucky people who've had the opportunity to strap one on. Mass production only just began, but these exoskeletons have already generated exceptional press and positive reviews from adventurers, seniors, those with mobility issues, and even individuals recovering from spinal cord injuries. 'Hypershell was founded on the belief that technology should expand the boundaries of human movement, especially in the wild,' Kevin Sun, Founder and CEO of Hypershell, explained in a press release. The overarching initiative of the American Hiking Society is to protect the places that people love to explore, and Hypershell hopes to support people as they work tirelessly to carry out that mission. 'Our mission aligns deeply with that of the American Hiking Society, which has been the national voice for America's hikers for nearly 50 years. We're honored to stand with them in promoting access, adventure, and stewardship on the trails,' he continued. This year, Hypershell will be joining park volunteers at the Tahoe Rim Trail project, lending support near one of the nation's most scenic routes, the Big Meadow Trailhead in Lake Tahoe, California. The team will help forge a new highway crossing route, improving safety and accessibility for all hikers. How exactly will Hypershell help volunteers? According to the brand, the exoskeleton vessel can potentially increase leg strength by 40% and reduce physical exertion by 30%, empowering participants to stay on their feet for longer and work harder as they complete this challenging project. As well as assisting seasoned trail stewards, regular attendees will also have a chance to slip on the Hypershell Pro X themselves and discover the power of wearable technology firsthand. Whether it's clearing brush, transporting equipment, or simply soaking in the surroundings, this type of innovative technology harnesses the power to make the outdoors more accessible than ever before — and only time will tell where — and how far humans can take it.

Billion-dollar battery plant pauses construction amid electric vehicle and tariff uncertainty
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A Japanese company has halted construction on a $1.6 billion factory in South Carolina to help make batteries for electric BMWs, citing 'policy and market uncertainty.' While AESC didn't specify what those problems are, South Carolina's Republican governor said the company is dealing with the potential loss of federal tax breaks for electric vehicle buyers and incentives for EV businesses as well as tariff uncertainties from President Donald Trump's administration. 'What we're doing is urging caution — let things play out because all of the these changes are taking place,' Gov. Henry McMaster said. AESC announced the suspension in construction of its plant in Florence on Thursday, 'Due to policy and market uncertainty, we are pausing construction at our South Carolina facility at this time," the company's statement said. AESC promised to restart construction, although it didn't say when, and vowed to meet its commitment to hire 1,600 workers and invest $1.6 billion. The company said it has already invested $1 billion in the Florence plant. The battery maker based in Japan also has facilities in China, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany. In the U.S., AESC has a plant in Tennessee and is building one in Kentucky. The statement didn't mention any changes with other plants. The South Carolina plant is supposed to sell battery cells to BMW, which is building its own battery assembly site near its giant auto plant in Greer. BMW said the construction pause by AESC doesn't change its plans to open its plant in 2026. AESC has already rolled back its South Carolina plans. They announced a second factory on the Florence site, but then said earlier this year that their first plant should be able to handle BMW's demand. That prompted South Carolina officials to withdraw $111 million in help they planned to provide. The company is still getting $135 million in grants from the South Carolina Department of Commerce and $121 million in bonds and the agency said a construction pause won't prompt them to claw back that offer. South Carolina is investing heavily in electric vehicles. Volkswagen-owned Scout Motors plans to invest more than $4 billion and hire 10,000 people for a plant to build its new electric SUVs scheduled to open in 2027. The state has for decades made big bets on foreign manufacturers like BMW, Michelin and Samsung that have paid off with an economic boom this century, but there is uneasiness that Trump's flirtation with high tariffs might stagger or even ruin those important partnerships. McMaster told people to relax as state and business leaders are talking to Trump's administration and things will work out. 'I think the goal of the president and the administration is to have robust economic growth and prosperity and there is no doubt there has to be changes made in our international trade posture and President Trump is addressing that,' McMaster told reporters Thursday.
