Urban Outfitters introduces On Rotation, a new retail experience created to fuel discovery, inspiration, and authentic connection through a curated mix of today's most exciting brands, all brought to life with Urban's signature creativity. Launching Wednesday, May 14th, with its first partner, Nike, On Rotation will debut in stores featuring dynamic lounge-style installations in five key cities: New York, Washington D.C., Scottsdale, San Diego, and Manhattan Beach, CA. This new concept builds on Urban's strategy to meet the evolving needs of Gen Z and deliver community-driven, memorable retail experiences.
Cyntia Leo, Head of Brand Marketing and Communications at Urban Outfitters , explains the brand's approach to connecting with its audience: "Urban Outfitters has always been a destination for discovery, especially for Gen Z, who are expressive, engaged, and intentional in how they shop and show up. Connecting with this customer requires more than just great product; it demands cultural fluency and inspiring retail moments. That's what On Rotation is all about — transforming product categories into immersive narratives. Nike is the ideal first partner to bring this vision to life. Their cultural credibility is unmatched, and their legacy of innovation continues to set the pace."
Urban Outfitters will launch On Rotation with a cross-divisional assortment of Nike apparel and footwear, styled specifically for the UO consumer. Building on the launch, Urban Outfitters will expand its Nike product assortment across both digital and retail experiences, with over 150 choices. Additionally, to spark buzz and foster community, UO will tap into LA's vibrant running culture by releasing a limited capsule to celebrate the Nike After Dark Tour: Los Angeles 13.1, a race bringing together sport and self-expression this June. The collection – with an exclusive color way of the Nike Vomero 18, a maximum cushioned running shoe – will be available across all LA store locations, including the On Rotation destination. Leading up to the race, UO partnered with more than 20 influencers and college-aged community members on a four-month training journey to generate excitement and highlight Nike's presence at UO.
Urban Outfitters has launched On Rotation, a new retail concept designed to inspire and connect with Gen Z through curated brand experiences, starting with Nike. Featuring lounge-style installations in five US cities, the initiative includes exclusive Nike products and a special LA capsule collection linked to the Nike After Dark Tour: Los Angeles 13.1 event this June.
Brad Desy, Head of Stores and Branch Management at Urban Outfitters , describes On Rotation as a dynamic step forward in experiential store concepts: "On Rotation brings a bold new layer of connection and discovery to our stores. The "rotating" concept serves as a living discovery engine, offering a platform to bring our brands to life- in real time."
Future activations will spotlight new partners across fashion, lifestyle, and design, ensuring On Rotation remains a fresh platform shaped by the brands Gen Z knows and loves.

'Puka is dead'? Rams star's viral Instagram name finally explained and it's all his mom's fault

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Some NFL players have cool Instagram handles. Some keep it simple. And then there's Puka Nacua, whose IG username is… @pukaizded . If you've ever scrolled past it and wondered, 'Um, is he okay?' don't worry, it's not deep. In fact, it's hilariously petty mom energy, and we're absolutely here for it. Puka Nacua explains why his IG name is 'Puka is dead' and blames his mom During an interview on the 'Games With Names' podcast, Puka finally spilled the beans on why his Instagram sounds like a doom metal band. Turns out, back in eighth grade, Puka was sneaking around with a secret Instagram account. His mom, being the all-seeing parent she is, found it. But instead of just yelling at him, she did something way more savage: 'My mom, 8th-grade year, didn't know I had Instagram. My mom found my IG & changed it; she made it 'Puka is dead' to let me know I was in trouble.' Puka's mom changed his Instagram handle 💀 She literally renamed his account to tell him he was grounded. And the best part? He kept the username. Even now, as a rising NFL star, Puka still rolls with it, like a digital badge of childhood trauma and comedy. After the interview clip made the rounds on TikTok and Twitter/X, fans couldn't get enough. Comments poured in like: Honestly, the name makes way more sense now, and we kind of love him more for keeping it real. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo From being 'dead' on IG to killing it in the NFL Puka Nacua absolutely exploded in his rookie season with the Los Angeles Rams. He broke rookie receiving records, made every fantasy manager scream with joy, and became one of the biggest surprises of the 2023 season. And through it all? His Instagram still proudly reads: @pukaizded. Because some things, like your mom's sense of humour, stay with you forever. In a world where most athletes try to sound cool and mysterious online, Puka Nacua's handle is refreshingly real. He didn't just accept his mom's punishment, he made it his brand. Peak Gen Z energy. Peak NFL content. And peak internet gold. Also read - Cam Newton's floral BET Awards outfit has fans laughing and loving it: 'Bro need to come out that closet'

Fans are betting Bill Belichick breaks up before Cardi B — his love life is now a full-blown market

(Credit: Getty Images) So, we're betting on breakups now. Yes, a prediction platform is taking wagers on whether 72-year-old NFL legend Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson will split before August. Even better? They're being compared to Cardi B and Stefon Diggs . The market says Belichick's odds of staying cuffed are lower than a wide receiver's route discipline, and Twitter is treating the whole thing like a reality TV subplot. Polymarket opens betting line on Belichick-Hudson breakup and the odds are not in their favor Polymarket, a popular online prediction platform, launched a betting market asking users if Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson would end their relationship by July 31, 2025. And guess what? At one point, the odds were worse for them than for the wildcard duo of Stefon Diggs and Cardi B, who've been caught in romance rumors since May. That's right. The couple with nearly 50 years between them is now being treated like a walking tabloid bet and apparently, the internet thinks it's not going to last. Fans are reacting like it's fantasy football but for breakups Once the Polymarket trend hit social media, the reactions poured in like Belichick play-calling memes: The idea of betting on NFL romance timelines has fans fully unglued, mostly because Belichick and Hudson have been the least likely pair since day one. They were first spotted publicly after his Patriots exit, and she's now reportedly involved in his media ventures and UNC coaching stint. Bill Belichick's been under the microscope and so has Hudson This isn't the first time their relationship has made headlines. Jordon Hudson has been accused of having 'too much influence' on Belichick's image lately, especially as he takes on a new role in college football. Critics say she's shifting his brand, while defenders argue the age-gap discourse is overblown. Either way, the buzz was already building, the betting market just made it pop. Only in 2025 could an NFL coaching legend's relationship be turned into a trading card-level prediction market. Whether Belichick and Hudson stay together or not, the internet is clearly more invested in their personal life than his playbook. And if you're wondering whether to put money down? Just remember, in the words of Twitter: 'Belichick can handle the Jets, but can he handle Gen Z love?'

Jobs platform Apna's interview prep tool records 760K AI interviews

Job seekers are increasingly turning to AI-powered tools for interview preparation, using virtual coaches and real-time feedback to sharpen their skills. Online jobs platform Apna, which launched AI Job Prep — an AI interview preparation tool — completed over 7.6 lakh interviews and clocked more than 39 lakh minutes of interviews within just three weeks of launch. The tool was launched on 18 May. "The tool offers realistic interview simulations, instant performance feedback, and personalised improvement tips to help candidates build interview confidence," the company said. It currently offers interviews for over 25,000 job roles across 3,000 top companies, with questions tailored to specific companies and job profiles. The tool also personalises interviews based on the person's résumé. Among the top roles for which individuals prepared were software development, product management, data analyst, accounting, digital marketing, and sales. While tech roles accounted for 42 per cent of total interviews, 58 per cent came from non-tech sectors such as retail and logistics, among others. In terms of geography, the adoption of the tool was highest in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai, which accounted for 44 per cent of total interviews. As for the age groups, Gen Z (18–24 years) emerged as the most active user group, contributing 58 per cent of total interviews, while millennials (25–30 years) followed at 27 per cent. Male users accounted for 76 per cent of total participation, while female engagement stood at 24 per cent. Earlier, an Interview Readiness Index 2025 by the company revealed that only 32 per cent of job seekers in the country feel prepared for interviews. The report also highlighted the growing role of digital tools in boosting interview readiness, with users of digital or AI-powered platforms reporting higher confidence levels at 38 per cent.
