🤓 This Is Everything We Know About Kid Cudi's 'INSANO' Album
TLDR:
As Cudder season approaches with the rapper’s ninth studio album
just a week away, this is everything we know about the project.

its initially intended September 2023 release date, Kid Cudi‘s ninth
studio album is slated to land delay-free on its updated January 12
release date – “Promise! NEXT WEEK WE LIVE!!” he assured in a message on
X this past Wednesday. Now just one week out, Hypebeast has rounded up

🏃 How Boutique Running Brands Are Crossing the Fashion Finish Line
TLDR:
From moth-bitten T-shirts to mohair balaclavas and Dyneema
running shoes, Satisfy, District Vision and norda are among the buzzy
brands bridging performancewear’s longstanding gap between technical
specs and stylistic sensibilities.
Why
It Matters: The days of running apparel offering little more
than utilitarian benefits are behind us. Sure, you only need a pair of
sneakers to hit the pavement – running is a proletarian activity at its
core – but a crop of indie running brands like Satisfy, District Vision
and norda are fueling a new genre of performancewear, one that champions
the “look good, perform good” mindset with fashion-forward garments and
gear. Whereas brands once may have prioritized function with little
regard for form, these brands approach that relationship with a careful
balance of aesthetic sensibility and performance technology.

⌚ Jiro Katayama Brings Back the Ōtsuka Lotēc No.6 Watch in New
Dimensions
TLDR:
In an exclusive Hypebeast interview, the independent watchmaker
discusses the challenges with the new No. 6 watch ahead of its release.
Why
It Matters: Ōtsuka Lotēc is an independent Japanese watch
brand that has remained mostly under the radar even among some of
Japan’s most avid and local collectors. Founded in 2008 by Jiro
Katayama, a product designer turned self-taught watchmaker, where every
piece is crafted and assembled by the founder himself in a small Tokyo
atelier. The No. 6 reissue will soon be unveiled at the turn of the new
year. Characterized by its analog meter that arrives in a fan-shaped,
retrograde display, the watch’s face design is also reminiscent of an
air pressure gauge. With the new release, Katayama is committed to
retaining the original 40mm-wide model’s distinctive appearance, while
tweaking the entire structure to fit a slimmer, 11.8mm-thick watch case.

🛋️ Rounding up The Best Furniture, Lighting and Homeware of 2023
TLDR:
We’ve managed to narrow down our favourites and peppering them in
between some of our other favourite pieces of the year, from an artful
kitchen crafted from discarded materials, to a lamp based on
16th-century ball games.
Why
It Matters: We spent 2023 wandering the design fairs,
exhibitions, and stores to find the best launches – bringing you a list
that comprises a mix of collectible and more shoppable, consumer pieces.
It’s not entirely clear why, but it seems as though 2023 was the year of
the Great Sofa. Comfort was king, and designers have upped their game
when crafting the living room centerpiece – so much so that it was
difficult not to fill this entire list full of them, but we were able to
hold ourselves back. Read on for our selection of the 20 best furniture,
lighting and homeware launches of 2023.
