AMAZON PRIME OFFERS FREE ONE-DAY SHIPPING TO BOOST SALES

Amazon is continuing to get more bullish around its core retail division. The tech giant announced during its Q1 earnings call on Thursday that Prime members would soon be able to receive free one-day shipping. While other services like AWS and advertising have seen increased growth in the past year, its retail sales have dipped from 22 percent to 10 percent year-over-year, according to an analysis by The New York Times. Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky mentioned that the move to one-day shipping would cost the company about $800 million USD in the first quarter. In certain cities, Prime customers can already receive one-day shipping if they order items of $35 USD or more. The expedited shipping would not only encourage sales, but also promote Prime membership growth where Amazon has been investing heavily in original content, streaming services and discounts at Whole Foods to lure and retain members. Amazon also recently announced that it was partnering with Kohl’s to offer free returns in an attempt to improve the customer experience and bolster its physical presence. During the call, Amazon also introduced its Shipment Zero initiative, which aims to “make all customer shipments net zero carbon, with the goal of making 50% of all shipments net zero by 2030.”

THE A-COLD-WALL* X NIKE ZOOM VOMERO +5 IN RED DROPS TODAY

UPDATE: As shared via A-COLD-WALL*’s IG account, the collaborative Nike Zoom Vomero +5 in red drops today. Interested fans can head over to redox.a-cold-wall.com at 6:00 p.m. GMT today for your chance to purchase.   Original Story: First seen back in January, we now have a closer look at A-COLD-WALL*‘s collaborative Nike Zoom Vomero +5 in red. Spotlighted by founder and creative director Samuel Ross, the technical running sneaker offers a new warm hue, complete with distressing. Seen on-feet, the running sneaker retains the chunky back portion that distinguishes A-COLD-WALL*’s version from the standard Vomero +5. Faded red hues appear across the upper and midsole, with light distressing playing upon the latter. The red is deeper at certain points — the Swoosh, mid-panel and heel bumper are all saturated — while other parts yield a faded tone, like on the laces and forefoot mesh. A-COLD-WALL* branding accents the toe on the lateral side to complete the collaborative design. No word on a release date, naturally, but expect more news to arrive shortly. Check out the on-feet shot below. Recently, A-COLD-WALL* debuted a messenger bag with seasonal color contrast.

WE SHOT CANADA GOOSE’S NEW NOMAD SPRING CAPSULE ON THE STREETS OF TOKYO

Canada Goose has recently unveiled a new two-part capsule collection for spring intriguingly titled Nomad. With a campaign that looks to Japan and its relationship to rain — the country has 50 words for it — it’s a gorgeous piece of outerwear for the changeable season. It also represents a first. Surprisingly (or maybe not) Nomad has seen Canada Goose partnering with GORE-TEX, combing the textile brand’s tech with 60-plus years of Canada Goose’s outdoor heritage and knowledge. What results is a capsule in two part: an outer rain shell known as the Nomad Jacket, and the quilted Nomad HyBridge Lite Jacket. The jackets can be worn individually but work better (and are designed to work) as a system. The outer Nomad Jacket rain shell is waterproof and breathable, cut slim and with mesh venting underarm and under the back panel for airflow. The HyBridge Lite meanwhile is lightweight, water-resistant and designed for warmth. Strategically stitched in Tensile-Tech fabric means you can move easily, whether on city streets or on mountainsides. Play While Canada Goose themselves shot the system in Tokyo and Wakayama Prefecture, we took it to the streets of the Japanese capital ourselves. Shot by rising photographer Lorenzo Dal Bosco and with fashion styling from Tatsuya Shimada, peep how we styled Canada Goose’s next major foray into the spring season with our exclusive lookbook. The Nomad capsule launches exclusively in the Canada Goose Sendagaya store in Tokyo from today, April 5. From Monday, April 8, Nomad drops at Canada Goose flagship stores, select retailers and online globally.
