Havaianas Enlists Zellerfeld for First-Ever 3D-Printed Flip Flops
The iconic, globally recognized flip-flop is entering a new dimension. In a groundbreaking move that bridges laid-back leisure with cutting-edge technology,Havaianashas announced its first-ever collaboration with experimental footwear brandZellerfeldto create a limited-edition 3D-printed flip flop. This partnership is a bold statement on the future of footwear, merging Havaianas' timeless simplicity with Zellerfeld's revolutionary manufacturing process.
Havaianas, a brand synonymous with effortless comfort and Brazilian sunshine, is reimagined through the lens of Zellerfeld's additive manufacturing. The result is a flip-flop that retains the classic silhouette but is visually and texturally unlike any other. The shoe's defining feature is its intricate, open-lattice design, which is fully 3D-printed as a single, cohesive unit — from the sole to the iconic strap. The flipflop also features a textured surface as well as a curve at the forefoot for added structure. This complex structure, often impossible with traditional manufacturing, gives the flip-flop a futuristic, almost skeletal aesthetic.
The flip flops are expected to be available in a range of vibrant, Havaianas-inspired colorways, blending the brand's joyful DNA with Zellerfeld's high-tech aesthetic. This limited-edition drop is a testament to the fact that even the most ubiquitous and simple pieces of footwear can be transformed through technology, turning an everyday item into a highly coveted piece of design. The Havaianas x Zellerfeld collaboration are expected to launch in September.

Popular fried chicken, country music spot once home to the Ice House will close this fall
After seven tumultuous years that saw multiple owners, hundreds of guitar-picking musicians and a whole lot of fried chicken, Duke's will close its doors for good this fall. The popular southside restaurant and honky-tonk bar, which in 2018 opened in the venue that the beloved Ice House bar occupied from 1983-2017, recently announced on social media that its last day of business will be Nov. 22. In posts to Facebook and Instagram, Duke's staff cited local competition, wear and tear on the bar's storied building and general economic challenges for the decision to "end things on our own terms" rather than close unexpectedly. "As a community we've mourned far too many sudden losses and we want to honor this magical space by giving y'all as much time as possible to say good-bye," the post read. Duke's began with the vision of Beech Grove native and onetime Sun King Brewing production manager Dustin Boyer, known to friends simply as D. In January 2018 Boyer told IndyStar he had had a vision for a Southern-inspired road house and live music venue for 12 years before he bought the spacious building at 2352 S. West St. Boyer named his passion project for his late grandfather, Hayes "Duke" Boyer. Duke's quickly found a following thanks to its acclaimed fried chicken and regular live music performances. But the popular haunt suffered its first major loss just three years later when Boyer died at age 40 on April 28, 2021. Boyer's close friend and financial partner Andy Fagg stepped in with a handful of employee-operators to run Duke's until late 2023, when Patrick Kennedy purchased the restaurant. In its farewell, Duke's staff invited customers to come make a few last memories at the restaurant and thanked the Indianapolis community for the last seven years. "It has been a tremendous honor and truly the joy of our lives to serve Indianapolis," the post read, "bringing independent country and western music artists to eager audiences, serving the best damn fried chicken and carrying the torch D lit."

I've been to bachelorette parties in spots from Hawaii to Las Vegas, but a Canadian city has been the best destination so far
I've been invited to more bachelorette parties than I can count. They've all been a lot of fun and have given me an excuse to visit fabulous destinations around the world. I've been to Cabo, Napa, Puerto Rico, Palm Springs, India, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and more to celebrate dear friends who were getting married. I'm typically excited whenever a new invitation comes in, but when I found out one of my friends was having her bachelorette in Toronto, I was a little disappointed. I didn't think it would be an exciting destination for a girls' trip. However, to my pleasant surprise, I was wrong. The Canadian city completely blew me away. Toronto is vibrant and brimming with personality, art, and culture To match the city's creative energy, local artists' works were displayed throughout the hotel. The lobby even had giant dandelion sculptures hanging from the ceilings. The hotel was also located within walking distance of plenty of restaurants and cafés. I was blown away by the food offerings in Toronto. Some of my favorite meals were the French fare at Café Boulud, al dente pasta and traditional Italian pizza at Spaccio West Terroni, Latin-inspired cuisine at Baro, and Michelin-starred dining at Alobar Yorkville. The activities in the city felt diverse and fun Although lovely accommodations and great food are already pluses, the diverse activities available around Toronto really exceeded my expectations. For daredevils, CN Tower's EdgeWalk is a must. There's nothing quite like walking around an outdoor platform that's 116 stories above the city. It's an epic view, a great bonding experience, and a one-of-a-kind photo op. If you're traveling with adventurous wine enthusiasts, I recommend the helicopter tour with Niagara Helicopters Limited, which flies over Niagara Falls and ends at a winery. We also enjoyed a segway tour of the Distillery District, which was bustling with boutiques, cafés, breweries, and eateries. For a more low-key afternoon, Toronto also has several noteworthy museums, but I can only speak to the unique experience at the Bata Shoe Museum. It houses antique shoes from regions around the world, imaginative futuristic kicks, and unique artist exhibitions. My absolute favorite part of the trip was renting dresses at The Fitzroy for a night at the opera. The Fitzroy sectioned off an area of the store and provided us with bubbly and sweet treats during the dress fittings. I never expected a Canadian city to become my favorite bachelorette destination I'll fully admit that I was wrong about Toronto. It ended up being an incredible destination for a bachelorette party — and would probably be great for any old girls' trip, too. I had experiences that would be considered out of the ordinary on any trip, like helicopter tours and a night at the opera. Plus, every meal was uniquely delicious. The diverse activities, luxe accommodations, and memorable meals made Toronto my favorite bachelorette-party destination to date.

NOAH FW25 "Return to Analog" Is About Clothes & Memories That Last
NOAHhas unveiled its FW25 campaign 'Return to Analog,' featuring a new lineup of Americana/Prep-inspired silhouettes photographed by Paul Hempstead. The overarching theme is described by the founder,Brendon Babenzien, as a nostalgic call for the return of the tactile experience: 'things you can hold, feel, and pass down for future generations to experience.' The brand isn't just talking about the return of vinyl or taking film photographs, but also appreciating the quality and sentiment behind our daily dress. 'In a world obsessed with speed and convenience, there's something radical about the slow and thoughtful,' Babenzien added. With vintage books, wooden pencils, typewriters, and wired telephones in hand, the campaign emphasizes the analog inspirations that inform this season's silhouettes. NOAH's recurring styles, including indigo denim, tweed suiting, shirting, and basic tees, are cut in classic shapes and standard fits for a timeless appeal. Patterns and textures instantly evoke the brand's Prep facets, including woven herringbone, Oxford pinstripes, argyle knit, and classic tartans. Standing out are elegant outerwear moments, including a sleek black leather jacket and a hefty brown wool coat that could surely become future heirlooms. The range's knitwear is diverse, manifesting in traditional forms like chunky fisherman cables and heavy rib knits, as well as contemporary takes like technicolor patchwork and jewel-toned solid hues. Elsewhere, touches like playful typographic tees, a rugby shirt, pastel cargo shorts, and gym uniform sweats balance the more refined silhouettes with a casual mood. NOAH's conscious ethos is built into its DNA, often emphasizing the quality standard and provenance of its materials in its collections. 'Every fabric we choose, every construction decision we make it's all rooted in the belief that quality matters,' Babenzien said. The NOAH FW25 collection is set for release on August 14 at the brand'swebstoreand physical locations.
