The takeaways from a rare sighting.

Adidas x Miaou is back, and inspired by the early 2000s.

The newest Adidas AdiZero is blazing a new trail in formidable fashion, breaking plentiful records and cementing Adidas’ place at the top of the heap in the race to make the lightest, fastest running shoes ever.

As WWD reports, the Adidas AdiZero Adios Pro Evo 3 is both breaking long-standing benchmarks and going for hefty sums on the secondary market to the tune of more than $5,000) on sites like sneaker and luxury resale outlet StockX). And it’s not hard to see why, at least in matters of performance: Both London Marathon men’s winner Sabastian Sawe and women’s winner Tigist Assefa wore the sneakers as they crossed the finish line last weekend, while other running companies take on the literal race to break records and deliver the most innovative kicks on the market.

The pro-approved sneakers were gaining ground in the sneaker market slowly but steadily before a slew of eye-popping pro marathon race times, WWD notes, adding that “even before the momentous marathon moment, searches for the Adizero franchise have grown significantly on the platform.” while emphasizing that “according to StockX, the platform saw nearly 50,000 searches containing the term “Adizero” in the first quarter of 2026.”

Clocking in at a mere 3.4 ounces, the Adidas AdiZero Adios Pro Evo 3 is also part of what the Wall Street Journal has dubbed the “The Obsessive Race to Make a Four-Ounce Running Shoe,” noting further that the “the latest development in super shoes is their extreme lightness.” With an emphasis on rather chunky designs delivering maxium rebound and cushion, the Adidas AdiZero Adios Pro Evo 3 also focuses on responsive, thick foam and added touches like carbon fiber plates for durability and strength. Even as far back as 2022, WSJ reported that “sneakers with ultra-thick soles from brands like Hoka and Altra have become the running shoes of (the year).

Retailing for the elite price tag of $500, the Adidas AdiZero lineup ushers in a “new era of fast.” Adidas notes, with technical specs like adidas Lightstrike Pro for what the company calls “super-light cushioning.” In remarkable fashion, outlets report that Adidas beat footwear giants like Nike in powering a sub-2-hour marathon, part of “history in time.” For now, select pairs of the newest Adidas AdiZero are sold out online (including in men’s winner Sawe’s preferred colorway), so to add a piece of running heritage and modern performance to your running kit, look to the secondary market.

They may not make Jeeps like they used to, but they also never made them like this. Behold the latest restomodded off-roader from Vigilante, a Johnson City, Texas-based customizer that specializes in classic Jeep Wagoneers and Cherokees built on the original SJ platform.

This, however, is Vigilante’s take on the long-wheelbase Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler pickup produced in the early 1980s and spiritually resurrected by the Jeep Gladiator. Its purpose, according to Vigilante Founder Daniel van Doveren, boils down to practicality—or, at least, practicality within the niche of collector-grade off-roaders to be given six-figure overhauls.

“The Vigilante Scrambler is for the individual who finds the Bronco too common and the FJ too spartan,” said van Doveren. “The Scrambler is the utility player for the Vigilante collector. It’s the truck you leave at the ranch for morning chores and take to the beach for sunset drives. It offers a raw, tactile connection to the environment that complements the enclosed luxury of the Wagoneer, without ever sacrificing the performance our owners have come to rely on.”

To that end, it’s powered by a MOPAR Gen III 392 HEMI SRT-8 V8, the 6.4-liter monster that powered previous iterations of the top-of-the-line Jeep Grand Cherokee, RAM 1500 TRX, and Dodge Challenger. With Vigilante’s tune, the fearsome 8-pot sends 485 horsepower through either an automatic or manual 5-speed transmission that’s actuated by an Atlas II twin-stick connected to a shift-on-the-fly transfer case. Developed in partnership with specialists at Mundelein, Illinois’s Roadster Shop, the chassis features a fully engineered 4-link suspension, upgraded steering geometry, and robust Dana 44 and Dana 60 axles, promising tighter handling and a better ride.

These comprehensive upgrades are veiled by a faithfully-finished body built with custom-machined components, retro red accents and block “SCRAMBLER” lettering, and a baby-blue paint coat—all of which were tastefully fabricated/applied to ensure that the style, lines, and silhouette of the original CJ-8 weren’t lost. Inside, woven Chilewich vinyl-coated polyester textile and Sunbrella weatherproof fabric ensure the Scrambler can stay permanently topless without sacrificing its chic interior treatment, while modern conveniences such as climate control, electronic parking brake, Bluetooth connectivity, and HD audio are seamlessly integrated behind vintage-style controls.

Priced from $260,000, the Vigilante Scrambler is available to commission now online.

The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort is the luxury hotel brand’s first-ever property in the Dominican Republic. It’s also an a la carte stunner that’s marooned on a Caribbean island dotted with lesser all-inclusives, like so many seashells in the sand.

St. Regis superfans may recall that the New York flagship’s King Cole Bar is credited with inventing the Bloody Mary in 1934, when bartender Fernand Petiot is said to have refined the classic vodka-and-tomato juice cocktail, dubbing it the “Red Snapper” because “Bloody Mary” was deemed too vulgar for his posh clientele. 

So naturally this stunning, 200-room beachfront temple tucked away in secluded Cap Cana serves a Dominican-style bloody of its very own, the “Quisqueya Mary.” The property’s signature crimson sipper swaps vodka for the property’s own light rum and gets a zesty boost from a house-made spice mix and fried plantain infusion for extra layers of local flavor. It may serve as a metaphor for how the sultry locale heats up the luxe vibe of the St. Regis brand. 

Chapi Design, which has overseen the aesthetics of assorted Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis properties, blends the St. Regis Cap Cana’s refined marble and leather flourishes with voluminous tropical plants, island-inspired wickerwork and show-stopping visuals like giant lobby doors and a foliage-filled, indoor/outdoor passageway that channels the quiet beauty of a public sculpture garden. 

This Dominican gem features 36 stylish suites—some of the most coveted of which boast private swim-out pools. It’s a nice option if you happen to tire of luxuriating at the property’s four full-sized pools, which feature cabana service by attentive white-shirted staffers. The hotel, which launched last May, levels up its culinary offerings with Nina, a fine dining destination helmed by acclaimed Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz, who ran the kitchen at Lima’s revered Astrid & Gaston when it hit No. 1 on Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants List and No. 14 on The World’s 50 Best list. 

This winning St. Regis concept is the undisputed champ of the hotel’s nine eateries, tantalizing appetites with a live-fire cooking station where patrons can gaze upon dishes being created through a glass pane across from the gray marble bar. Diners feast on Wagyu rib eyes, Kurobuta pork chops, and oyster tartare artfully offered on a bed of pebbles, and apps like insanely scarfable crab beignets that are better than anything you might find in the French Quarter. Wash it all down with a glass or two from the restaurant’s organic wine list, composed of more than 100 sommelier-curated bottles. 

Cigar aficionados should definitely stop by The Amber Room before or after dinner. It’s a cozy cocktail lounge with a walk-in humidor offering all manner of Arturo Fuente stogies to rest in the cigarmaker’s colorful, oversized ashtrays on a breezy patio overlooking the ocean. Sample caviar, jamón and crispy empanadas from the small plates-focused menu, along with curated Dominican rum flights from an expansive spirits collection. 

While languidly sunning by the pool or flopping under an umbrella on a pristine patch of white sand is the preferred pastime here, the 18-hole Punta Espada Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus-certified green with dazzling ocean views, surrounds the property should you want to hit the links. Less-motivated guests can book restorative massages at the spa, which features 14 treatment rooms and recently introduced a collection of HydraFacial treatments, including The Gilded Hour & Twenty, an 80-minute, $425 escape that blends Budapest-based luxury skincare line Omorovicza’s signature HydraFacial Platinum moisturizer with colloidal gold. 

The hotel’s fortified gates are secured by gun-toting guards, and even if you’re getting picked up here, you need to provide your driver’s name and information. Most guests, however, stay blissfully secluded in the laid-back St. Regis bubble. There are a multitude of worthy breakfast, lunch and dinner options—fresh grilled seafood at the poolside Marola Mediterranean Grill and hearty Dominican fare at Cassava should both be in your rotation. But, somehow, I still think about the array of tempting treats at Kawa Coffee Shop, a grab-and-go spot near the spacious lobby specializing in local beans and sweet and savory pastries. 

Amid the requisite Dominican bread pudding and cacao confections is an epic ham and cheese croissant imbued with a decadent hunk of Danes Queso de Bolaand drizzled with honey. Order this perfect morning bite warm and pair it with a bracingly strong iced coffee before hitting the beach or pool, and you’ll have absolutely no regrets. Book here.

It’s Earth Month, which, for many, is an excellent opportunity to flex a little do-gooderness. One of the easiest ways to do so is by leaning on producers who are actively championing eco-friendly practices. When it comes to sustainability, Steve and Jill Matthiasson are firing on all cylinders. They prioritize animal welfare. They don’t use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or glyphosates. They play with cover crops (and plant them so something is always blooming), and consult, to help other vineyard owners and winemakers follow the same path to organics or regenerative viticulture. 

Nitty gritty elements of regenerative agriculture aside, the wines are great. The duo play across Italian grapes like Vermentino, Schiopettino, Refoseco, and Falanghina—they work well in their pocket of Napa—but also stay true to the Napa jazz standards. While many know the Valley’s reds to be rich and oaked, Matthiasson’s Cabernet are lower in alcohol and lighter on their feet, restrained and framed with a mineral depth and notes of graphite and cedar. Enticing, excellent, ageworthy. Even more so, the single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons ($150). Who knew it was so easy being green? $85

Modern supercars have evolved to be feats of engineering over the past decade. Their power, speed, handling systems, and driver-assist technology may even feel astounding to drivers from the 1990s. While these vehicles showcase major engineering progress, their capabilities also increase the risk of serious accidents when drivers underestimate them, and the legal field has changed to provide specific legal help after a supercar accident. The supercar has changed to be more powerful and intelligent, redefining the super in the name, but the risks posed by driving one recklessly are equally impactful.  

How Supercars Have Changed: 1990s To Now 

The first true supercars arrived in the 1960s, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that the term “supercar” entered the public lexicon. These apex street-legal machines evolved to become lighter and faster, with some brands blending the two designs to create vehicles in a league of their own. The 90s supercars minted the mold, but the current supercars have arguably broke it with advanced aerodynamics and electronics.  

Why Modern Supercars Feel More Intelligent

Supercars of the 1990s demanded more analog skill from the driver, but modern vehicles have computerized precision. With improved traction control, launch control, and adaptive suspension, the supercars of today provide a smoother experience and let the driver rely on the vehicle more heavily. Still, these mechanics and systems cannot eliminate the danger of handling one of these supercars, either as intended or improperly.  

Driving always poses a risk, but these systems may give the driver a false sense of confidence in handling a vehicle that’s among the fastest and most powerful on the road. In the hands of an inexperienced driver, a car crash with a supercar could prove to be devastating.  

How Modern Supercars Redefine Power And Speed 

The speed of a supercar is a huge reason they are set apart in the car market, both in desirability and danger. Compared to the 90s cars, the contemporary supercar has received a huge jump in horsepower, torque, and acceleration—many will hit 60 mph in times that were previously only achievable in dedicated race cars.

Through turbochargers, powertrain hybridization for performance’s sake, and ultra-lightweight construction, supercars can achieve impressive feats that would shock the owner of a McLaren F1.

Supercars Safety: The Real-World Risks of Driving Modern Supercars 

While speed alluring, it is also a risk in the hands of a reckless, inexperienced driver. A driver unfamiliar with a modern supercar’s capability may press the throttle expecting gradual acceleration only to reach highway speeds within seconds, leaving a short time to react to surrounding traffic.  

Why Documentation Matters After A Modern Supercar Crash 

A supercar accident could be life-threatening, so it is important to check on all people involved and seek medical assistance if anyone involved is injured. Calling to alert authorities and emergency personnel of the crash is vital.

The scene must be documented to establish what occurred, and this involves taking pictures or video of the vehicles, any debris on the road, and the surrounding area to establish location and weather. Document injuries sustained by photography or medical records. Knowing how to handle a supercar accident could protect a driver legally or financially, but if there is any confusion or legal assistance needed, people like the experts at Arash Law can help relevant parties acquire proper documentation and legal guidance after a crash.  

How To Handle Modern Supercars Safely 

The performance and head-turning design of supercars make them inherently attractive, but this type of transportation comes with risks.  Those risks may be mitigated by handling the vehicle properly and respecting speed limits, but even if the operator is driving carefully, there’s no way to ensure other travelers and drivers are also operating their vehicles safely.  

Are Modern Supercars Actually Safer To Drive? 

Modern supercars often include advanced safety and stability systems, but those features don’t eliminate the risks created by high speed and powerful acceleration, especially in everyday driving conditions. 

Should Supercar Drivers Receive Training?

Yes. Professional performance-driving instruction may help drivers better understand braking distances, cornering techniques, and throttle control in high-powered vehicles. 

What Should Someone Do After A Supercar Accident 

They should prioritize safety, seek medical attention if needed, document the crash carefully, and understand their legal and insurance next steps. This is where guidance from firms such as Arash Law may be relevant when discussing post-accident documentation and protection.
