Maha Amsterdam and Nike Revive the Total 90 Shox Magia in Two Bold Colorways
Name:Nike Total 90 Shox MagiaColorway:Metallic Silver/Black/Multi-ColorSKU:HQ5407-001, IM9326-001MSRP:$180 USDRelease Date:July 5, 2025, July 12, 2025Where to Buy:Maha Amsterdam,Nike SNKRS Maha AmsterdamandNikeare set to release a new collaboration, marking the return of the iconicNike Total 90 Shox Magia— a unique hybrid silhouette that first debuted in 2003. The model fuses the upper of the Total 90 football boot with Nike's signature Shox cushioning in the heel, delivering enhanced support, energy return and a futuristic edge. The collaborative drop arrives in two striking colorways: 'Metallic Silver' and 'Metallic Black.' The Metallic Silver colorway leans into its futuristic DNA. The upper features a high-shine silver finish contrasted by black underlays and tonal black laces, giving the shoe a dynamic layered effect. Maha Amsterdam's branding is prominently placed on the tongue, embossed over a metallic base. Grid-like textures wrap around the shoe, while a black Swoosh adds sleek contrast along the side. A smaller mini Swoosh appears near the heel on the opposite side. Breathable mesh panels peek through the midfoot for ventilation, while the Shox unit and midsole shimmer with a holographic galaxy-inspired finish, tying the whole design together in a visually striking way. The Metallic Black pair offers a darker, more refined take. Constructed with an all-black synthetic upper, the shoe is accented by a bold white Swoosh across the lateral side and a smaller Swoosh near the heel collar on the medial. The midsole — rendered in metallic silver — wraps into the outsole for a cohesive, elevated look. The Shox pillars at the heel, typically a focal point of the silhouette, are subtly integrated into the design, providing cushioning and bounce without compromising the shoe's sleek profile. Textural overlays and precise stitching give this version a luxe, contemporary feel while staying true to its performance roots. Both pairs are set to release exclusively on the Maha Amsterdam website on July 5, following a global release via Nike SNKRS on July 12.

Scientists are solving the mystery of how axolotls regrow limbs
A wounded axolotl can regenerate an entire lost leg or only its pinky toe. How the mass of cells that migrate to the wound site, known as a blastema, knows exactly what's needed is a key question the new paper helps answer. 'Evidence suggests it's the access to the appropriate genes after an injury that enable them to regenerate an arm. So they can turn on those programs that built the arm in the first place,' Monaghan says, referring to the gene Shox, which initially creates and then recreates the long bones needed to make an arm or leg. Monaghan also found an enzyme called CYP26B1 reduces the amount of retinoic acid at the site to exactly the level needed for a particular body part. It's the quantity of the retinoid that tells the cells what it is building, the researchers found. So the mass of cells capable of forming an entire arm has more than those making a hand or, at even lower amounts, a finger. In humans as well as other animals, retinoic acid is integral to cell differentiation and growth. Its role in human development is so important that women are urged to avoid the oral acne retinoid medication isotretinoin during pregnancy so as not to interfere with natural levels—although recent research found no increased risk of birth defects or disabilities. Rather than create the retinoic acid, the enzyme assesses current levels and reduces it to the desired amount. This was unexpected, Monaghan says, and crucial to understanding the process humans might one day use to regenerate limbs, too. Advances in gene editing could one day unlock major innovations in medical treatment. Scientists hope they could even figure out how to regrow human limbs. Photograph By Alyssa Stone/Northeastern University Could humans one day regrow missing limbs? Somewhere back in our evolutionary tree, humans and other mammals lost the ability to regrow severed appendages, a trade-off that comes with our more complex, higher-functioning parts. (One exception: newborn babies can regrow fingertips.) Scientists are hopeful these regenerative capacities remain hidden in our biology. If so, 'we can learn to unlock them, potentially restoring greater regenerative potential than we currently see,' says Thomas Rando, director of the Broad Stem Cell Research Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, who was not involved in this study. Rando believes even the manipulation of human stem cells he and others are studying may benefit from the axolotl research. 'In mammals, we rely on skin stem cells to make skin, bone stem cells to make bone, and muscle stem cells to make muscle,' he says. What isn't known is how to make these cells produce multiple tissues at once, which is necessary to regenerate a functioning limb. Learning how amphibians successfully do this could yield treatments that entice stem cells to mimic those actions. (The ability to reverse damage to your lungs and heart is tantalizingly close.)
