Nike gears up for Summer with a campaign involving some reinterpreted Engineered Mesh Air Max styles as part of its limited-edition Sunset pack. To add to the excitement and set fans on a literal run for their dollars, Nike will be introducing them as part of an event, no doubt inspired by the success of their previous Easter Hunt Campaign. Taking place in both San Francisco and New York, the "Air Max Hunt" will begin on Thursday morning, May 23, opening up opportunities for determined participants to go home with limited-edition packs later in the evening. Guiding the contestants will be none other than San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and Knicks forward Amar'e Stoudemire, who will release five clues revealing key locations in their cities on both Twitter and Instagram. If you'd like to try your luck and want more info, head over to the event's website here.

Coming soon from San Francisco-based Black Scale is a piece of collaborative footwear crafted alongside LA's Gourmet. Dubbed the "Blvck Gourmet" and taking the form of Gourmet's The 35 silhouette, the design comes draped in scaly black leather with contrasting white accents hitting the shoe's technical outsole and subtle branding applications. Finished with black eyelets and matching laces, the collaborative “Blvck Gourmet” 35 is set to drop this Saturday, May 25 at Black Scale's flagship storefronts and the brand's online store.

It's almost fitting that the brainchild of a former Sex Pistols member and one of the emcees from House of Pain would be called the Hell Fire Canyon Club (HFCC). Taking its name from a ring within London's 18th century nobility that engaged in illicit acts, the HFCC is a brand dedicated to celebrating the heritage of American and European motorcycle culture. No stranger to heritage goods itself, Boylston Trading Company teamed up with HFFC and Bell Helmets to release a special collaborative set. The range includes a T-shirt and limited edition helmet, both of which are printed with an adjusted seal of Boston that beckons back to the city's history. Look for the goods, available now, on Boylston Trading Company's website.

To some, 2013 feels very much like the mid-eighties – a transitional period that sees the transference of artistic power between generations occurring. Ricky Powell's work is chiefly concerned with portraying this idea: the rise of young artists shaping the general aesthetic for not only their, but future generations. Powell achieves this from behind a lens, having famously documented The Beastie Boys, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat over the course of their respective careers. Accordingly, he is one of the most celebrated modern photographers of his generation, not only for his keen sense of portraiture, but also for his cultural sixth sense. Powell is the subject of a new exhibition at David Kesting Presents in Brooklyn, NY. If in the area, be sure to catch a rare selection of photographs curated by Tono Radvany, showing through June 9.
