Look Good, Feel Good, Play Strong: Nike Apparel Honors the Power of Women's Sportswear

Nike is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of “Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good: Nike Apparel,” a visually stunning book that explores the history and impact of women’s sportswear. Published in collaboration with Phaidon Press, this groundbreaking volume highlights the evolution of women’s sports apparel and its empowering effect on athletes throughout the years.

With over 350 pages and more than 575 images, “Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good” delves into the connection between women and the sportswear they wear, featuring five iconic design archetypes from sports history: warm-ups, jerseys, leggings, sports bras, and shorts.

To amplify the voices of athletes, each chapter includes interviews with Nike stars such as Sha’Carri Richardson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Caster Semenya, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Dina Asher-Smith, Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, Scout Bassett, and Naomi Osaka. These personal conversations reveal the athletes' favorite sportswear, cherished items, and unique style philosophies. Additionally, newly commissioned essays place Nike's role in the broader context of sportswear history and culture.

The book is authored by writer and editor Maisie Skidmore, with contributions from an esteemed group of writers, including Dal Chodha, Michelle Millar Fisher, Heather Radke, Samantha N. Sheppard, and Natalie E. Wright. Together, they provide a rich narrative that intertwines history, fashion, and sports.

The imagery within the book is as diverse as its contributors, drawing from Nike’s extensive archives and showcasing everything from vintage trade catalogues and advertisements to contemporary photography, design sketches, and fabric swatches. This visual journey not only celebrates Nike's past but also illustrates the brand’s ongoing dedication to innovation in women’s sportswear.

As Amy Montagne, VP/GM of Nike Women, notes, “Whether you’ve followed these athletes' journeys or are interested in the trends shaping women’s sports, ‘Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good’ highlights the incredible work Nike has done over the past 50 years to advance women’s sportswear.”

The book's design reflects its content, with pattern lines and notch markers subtly reminding readers of sportswear's cultural significance. The innovative packaging, featuring an exposed spine and a translucent jacket, further emphasizes the book's archival inspiration.

“Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good” is now available for pre-order at Phaidon.com/NikeApparel and will be widely available in December. This volume is a must-have for anyone interested in the intersection of fashion, sports, and culture, showcasing Nike’s commitment to empowering women through thoughtful design and relentless innovation.

Kaiju Sunset offers an alternative look at the daikaiju v. giant robots genre, with a diverse team of radical environmentalists working to save the kaiju rather than destroy them, in a world on the verge of social and environmental collapse! A mysterious message to the team’s leader, Natalie Okwuono, leads her to question what her team is doing, and discover the real goal behind the rescue mission, before it’s too late for the entire planet!

Carole & Tuesday Director Helms Anime Adaptation of Mark Millar's Super Crooks

  Netflix had a handful of anime announcements to make at the Annecy Film Festival this week, including another project based on the work of comic writer Mark Millar. The Super Crooks graphic novel by Mark Millar and Leinil Yu is on the way as a Netflix Original with Carole & Tuesday director Motonobu Hori—who also directed an episode of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad and worked as animator on a bunch of major projects—at the helm.

  The series follows two-bit criminal Johnny Bolt as he tackles one last superpowered heist and assembles a team of the world's greatest criminals to get the job done. Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop) is on series composition, Takafumi Mitani (animation director on My Hero Academia) is handling character designs, and Stanislas Brunet (mechanical design on Macross Delta) is working on concept design for the BONES production.

  The key art above was revealed with the news. 

  As for other works from Millarworld, Netflix recently debuted the live-action Jupiter's Legacy series, but it was canceled after one season.

Enterprise brewery Terminal Gravity expands the number of beers in cans.

image courtesy Terminal Gravity

Press Release

ENTERPRISE, OR – (March 1st, 2021) –  Eastern Oregon craft brewery Terminal Gravity Brewing is shifting its focus away from glass bottles to aluminum cans. 

The long established craft brewery will now be packaging previously bottled brands IPA, Tap Out Strong Ale, and Festivale Winter Strong Ale in 12 ounce cans. IPA and Tap Out will be hitting shelves in March, and expect to see Festivale in October for the winter season.

The new cans will still have their classic branding from the bottles, with the exception of Tap Out, which is getting a brand refresh. The fan-favorite American strong ale now has bold red lettering to go along with the beer's high alcohol content.

The change to cans, which was planned for more than a year, is something the brewery sees as a catalyst for higher beer quality, operational efficiency, and ultimately, growth. Selling their bottler means the quality assurance and packaging teams can focus on canning, and it opens up much-needed space in the brewery. Terminal Gravity has seen the market demand trend towards cans over bottles for the last few years, making the switch a more obvious choice.

“We purchased a canning line and packaged our first canned beer, Eagle Cap IPA, in 2017, and have seen all our canned beers take off from there. Meanwhile, our bottle sales have flat-lined or slumped. We’re finding more and more customers want their beer in a can along with our distributors and retail partners" said Natalie Millar, General Manager/CFO of Terminal Gravity.

The often-discussed benefits of cans include the portability and versatility for the outdoors, their lower cost to store and ship, their lighter weight compared to bottles, and their stackability in refrigerators, which store owners prefer.

Terminal Gravity's switch to cans comes at a time when the supply chain for aluminum cans is fractured. Many independent breweries have had a hard time securing cans due to the increased demand during the last year. That's why for all Terminal Gravity cans, customers will notice ridges on the top. The retro-looking cans offered the brewery the best chance for a consistent supply.

For help finding Terminal Gravity beer in a specific area, Terminal Gravity encourages customers to message them on Facebook or Instagram. 

About Terminal Gravity Terminal Gravity Brewing was founded in 1997 in Enterprise, Oregon, a small town at the foothills of the Wallowa Mountains. It puts brewing traditional English and German craft beers at the forefront of its business, and features a relaxing brewpub attached to the brewery that embodies the spirit of the Wallowa Mountains. Terminal Gravity craft beers are available across Oregon, Washington, and Western Idaho. More information is at www.terminalgravitybrewing.com

Save Writing NSW

An open letter to Create NSW and the NSW Minister for the Arts

We, as writers and active members of the literary community, were dismayed by Create NSW’s decision not to grant Writing NSW Multi-Year Organisations Funding in their latest round, despite the fact that Writing NSW was recommended for funding.

This decision demonstrates the ongoing devaluation of literature within the Australian arts funding landscape. We know literature is the most popular artform in the country, with 87% of Australian reading some form of literary work in any given year, yet in this round Create NSW offered only 5.7% of their ongoing funding to literature organisations.

The decision to defund Writing NSW carries a particular sting. Writing NSW is the leading organisation representing writers in a state with a long literary history and one that is home to many of Australia’s leading publishers, writers, literary agents and other core participants in the Australian literary industry.

Writing NSW is an important stepping-stone for writers at the beginning of their careers, providing high quality professional development programs, and it also employs emerging and established writers to deliver and lead these programs. For decades the organisation has provided high-quality courses, seminars, workshops, festivals, events, grants and literary prizes. In putting such programs at risk, Create NSW is jeopardising both an entry point and an ongoing support system for writers.

Macquarie University research shows that the average income of an Australian author from their practice is $12,900. The current economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic makes the situation of writers even more precarious. Writing NSW offers key employment opportunities to writers, through teaching, publication, speaking engagements and both curatorial and judging positions. The removal of these opportunities will mean many writers will not be able to maintain the other income streams that support their writing careers.

The removal of $175,000 from a single source would be catastrophic for any business – not-for-profit or otherwise. For a government funding body to enact such a blunt economic withdrawal in the midst of a global pandemic and without concern for the economic flow-on effect to hundreds of industry professionals is deeply distressing.

We call on Create NSW to reverse this decision and ask them to reveal their future strategies for arts funding and how they plan to rectify the disparity in funding between other funded artforms and literature.

As writers, we will never accept the loss of a vibrant, essential cultural network such as Writing NSW.

What you can do We invite anyone affected by Create NSW’s decision – writers, publishers, literary agents, illustrators, readers alike – to co-sign this letter. You can copy and customise this letter to draft a version from your own point of view on this matter to send to a Member of Parliament.

PTF: time for UK plasma to shine

For over 20 years, drugmakers in the UK have been compelled to source blood plasma from abroad, because of an episode of the variation Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease drugs development market during the 1990s that saw a prohibition on the utilization of UK gave plasma in drug treatments. Subsequently, the stock of immunoglobulin treatments has been restricted, and the NHS has confronted rehashed plasma deficiencies.

Yet again as April saw individuals in the UK allowed to gave blood plasma for use in clinical medicines. This choice will probably be invited by tolerant gatherings, yet what will the move mean for UK pharma? We find out.

While the subject of antibodies has been at the very front of pharma development throughout the last year, the area has been generally overwhelmed by the battle to check the spread of Covid-19. In any case, beyond this air pocket, work has been happening in the background to foster another medication that objectives an alternate wellbeing danger: jungle fever. To look further into this development, we investigate the historical backdrop of jungle fever medicines.
