Olaolu Slawn is on a roll. 2025 has been a busy year for the Nigerian-British artist who's taken overWembley Stadium, an on-track F1 car, Marni's Fall/Winter 2025runwayand anAir Max 90 drop. Following on momentum of the first half of the year, the artist recently took to Instagram to tease the bespokeRolexhe's got in the works.
Initial photos of the watch surfaced last week viaClint419onXwho wrote,'SLAWN ROLEX. COMING SOON,'which was followed by a more in-depth look posted by the artist himself. The video shows the Corteiz founder handling what appears to be a customized Italian Oyster PerpetualDay-Date, featuring one of Slawn's signature clown motif on the dial, with a background that boasts peach tones and magenta accents, all framed in classic gold hardware.
Last year, Rolex enlisted Slawn for a special 10-piece run of the Datejust 41mm, seen on the wrists of Stormzy, Lil Yachty and Dave. His latestInstagramcaption hints at an'AUGUST 2025'release, though a recentcommentfrom the brand suggests the Day-Date may be a one-of-one.

People Are Sharing The Early Internet Sites That Kids Today Will Never Know, And I'm Feeling ALL The Nostalgia
TikTok, Instagram, and social media as a whole have definitely taken a toll on today's youth. They'll never understand the struggles of the early internet, when nothing was at your fingertips, and high-speed connections were a luxury. The internet was a weird, clunky place. Not nearly as all-consuming as it is now, but those early browsing days laid the groundwork for the kinds of communities we now see on modern platforms. Back then, followers weren't the metric for anything, mostly because no one was being followed. Technically, you were making "friends," whether it was strangers you added to your Top 8 on MySpace or people with cool Neopets you kept tabs on. Those early internet days truly shaped our online lives. In a lot of ways, they made us more grateful for the instant access we have now. Napster and LimeWire basically walked so Spotify could run, if we're being honest. But there's something deeply nostalgic about that bare-bones version of the web — messy, slow, and full of personality. I recently stumbled across a post on r/AskReddit where someone asked, 'What's an early Internet site kids these days will never know?' From pre-Google search engines to flash game havens, here are 21 of the most beloved early internet websites people are reminiscing about: Note: Responses have been edited and condensed for clarity. 1."Addicting Games." —u/RazzleDazzle1537 2."Ask Jeeves." —u/Thayes1413 3."I remember I held out on Google for a long time because I used a site called Dogpile.
