Hypebeast4 days ago
Summary
Kiko KostadinovandNew Era®continue their collaborative momentum with a new cap release set for this weekend. Following the success of theirApril drop, which featured three distinct styles crafted from leftover SS25 fabrics, the latest iteration introduces a vibrant green colorway. Maintaining the sharp construction and embroidered touches of previous releases, including the signature 'K' monogram and collection number marking, this drop adds a vivid seasonal accent in line with Kostadinov's evolving visual language.
The collaboration also reflects Kostadinov's broader design ethos: reinterpreting wardrobe staples through elevated materials and subtle distortions. Unlike the more textural and layered SS25 caps, the new green version emphasizes simplicity with a saturated tone and clean finish, making for a more direct visual statement. As with past releases, the cap will be available exclusively atKiko Kostadinov Tokyoand Dover Street Market Ginza, reinforcing the brand's Japan-focused retail strategy.
Coinciding with the cap launch, Kostadinov's in-line FW25 accessory drop introduces a range of pieces that echo the season's raw, utilitarian aesthetic. Highlights include modular belts with pouch pockets, printed nappa leather boots with detachable sections and dyed pony hair crossbody bags — all of which debuted duringParis Fashion Week FW25. These accessories build on the collection's themes of asymmetry, texture and functional design, offering a layered complement to the headwear capsule. Both the collaboration and the new in-line accessories will be available viaKiko Kostadinovstarting July 26, 2025.

Game On! Sony Sues Tencent For Millions Over 'Slavish Clone' Of Post-Apocalyptic ‘Horizon' Franchise

Grind your consoles. The fractured legacy between Japan and China aside, Sony Interactive Entertainment is suing Tencent for copyright infringement, some big bucks and to put a halt to the release of the Middle Kingdom company's 'slavish clone' Light of Motiram video game. More from Deadline 'Horizon' Intimacy Coordinator Says "Protocols Were Abandoned" Over Scene With Stunt Woman That Led To Sexual Harassment Suit Apple To Appeal Judge's Scathing New Ruling In Epic Games Antitrust Case, Says CEO Tim Cook Google, Microsoft, Nintendo Of America And Ubisoft Reveal 'The Accessible Games Initiative' 'Tencent's unlawful copying of the protected audiovisual elements of the Horizon games, as well as its deliberate adoption of a confusingly similar character mark, constitutes both copyright and trademark infringement that should be enjoined immediately to prevent irreparable harm to SIE and the consuming public,' the Playstation media giant states in a July 25 action filed in federal court against the Shenzhen-based tech decades-old context of Chinese companies being accused of ignoring IP rules obviously plays a big role here in the background. Closer to the foreground, first shipped in 2017, the post-apocalyptic Horizon has sold tens of millions of copies and seen several sequels and spin-offs, including 2024's LEGO Horizon Adventures. So there is some serious money at play here. Aiming to score 'statutory damages of up to $150,000 for each separate work in the Horizon Franchise infringed' allegedly by the Motiram game, which still has a TBD release date, Sony also wants orders 'preliminarily and permanently' stopping the game from ever reaching market. And, they are very specific – like, with side-by-side graphics and more in the filing, character specific. 'The main protagonist of Horizon Zero Dawn is a striking figure named 'Aloy' characterized by her fiery red hair, tribal-inspired attire, specific-colored accessories, and distinctive facial markings; her journey from outcast to guardian of humanity anchors the game's narrative and emotional core,' the three-claim complaint, which seeks a jury trial, declares. 'Tencent also used its rip-off of the iconic Horizon main character 'Aloy' as the centerpiece of its pre-release marketing and promotional strategy, deliberately causing numerous game lovers to confuse Light of Motiram as the next game in the Horizon series when encountering Tencent's promotional game play videos and social media accounts.' In what could quickly become a true legal brawl worthy of Call of Duty: Mobile (which was developed by a Tencent subsidiary in 2018), neither reps for Sony's Playstation nor the 2003 launched defendant responded to request for comment on the lawsuit. Reading a bit like a Bible for a game itself, the document from Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe's Annette Hurst, Diana Rutowski and Laura Wytsma reveals that Sony tried to play nice initially – at least from their POV. 'In March 2024, at a gaming conference in San Francisco, California, Tencent executives approached Sony with a pitch: to develop its own Horizon game in collaboration with SIE,' the attorneys say in what could be the real canary in the coal mine here. 'Sony rejected the idea and considered the matter closed.' Alas, Tencent apparently did not consider the matter closed. 'Earlier this year, Sony had discussions with Tencent trying to informally resolve its concern that Light of Motiram violated its intellectual property rights,' the 48-page filing goes on to detail. 'Tencent again sought to license the Horizon intellectual property. Sony (again) communicated clearly and unequivocally that it would not license the Horizon assets to Tencent, objected to Light of Motiram, and insisted that it be withdrawn. Tencent has since signaled that it rejected Sony's demands and would forge ahead.' Or, as Aloy says upon her return to her Nora tribe in Horizon: 'I fought my Way past an army while you cowered in this cave, do you really think you can stop me?' Game on!

Ichiro Suzuki makes history as the 1st Asian MLB Hall of Famer

[Source] Ichiro Suzuki was officially inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on July 27, becoming the first Asian-born player ever to receive the sport's highest honor. The 51-year-old Aichi native, whose electrifying career began in Japan before transforming Major League Baseball with the Seattle Mariners, received near-unanimous support from the Baseball Writers' Association of America and was celebrated in Cooperstown for his record-breaking achievements on both sides of the Pacific. Suzuki's legendary MLB career includes more than 3,000 hits, 10 Gold Glove Awards and 10 All-Star selections. In 2004, he set the American League single-season record with 262 hits. When his professional hits in Japan are combined with his MLB total, Suzuki's 4,367 hits are recognized as the most by any player in the history of top-tier professional baseball. He is also the only MLB player to reach both 3,000 hits and 500 stolen bases. During the induction ceremony, Suzuki delivered a speech that blended humor with reflection, telling the crowd, 'For the third time, I am a rookie,' referencing his journeys in Japan, MLB and now the Hall of Fame. He spoke of the inspiration he drew from his first visit to Cooperstown and credited his fans and mentors for his long-standing success. The Mariners plan to retire Suzuki's No. 51 jersey in August in honor of his achievements.
