Perfect for the polo crowd and the ultimate in luxury performance, the made-to-order APL Lusso Supreme in Black/Pure Gold is entirely handmade in Italy from Nile crocodile skin painted in 24K pure gold and supported by the famed Athletic Propulsion Labs Propelium® performance cushioned midsole-inspired by the shape of a feather.
As the “World’s Most Expensive Sneaker” it is truly the definitive expression of made-to-order luxury complimented by stunning detailing from subtle hand-stamped logos and waxed cotton laces. Each privileged owner also has the option to personalize their bespoke shoes with their name detailed on the inside of the shoe.
APL co-founders Adam and Ryan Goldston revealed that the APL Lusso Supreme “is the epitome of luxury performance. It’s been exciting to introduce something the world hasn’t seen before.” The shoes are available exclusively online, with a 12 week lead time, at www.AthleticPropulsionLabs.com. At $20,000 only 20 pairs are available worldwide. Truly where luxury and performance intersect.
Jack link recently wrote about how watchmaking today is largely defined by "incremental improvements" – he's absolutely right. But one direction I would say we've seen more than "incremental" growth in is the standardization of certain materials leading to the democratization of high-beat movements. If a link company wants to hit 5 Hz, it's simpler than link ever to get there.
Currently, there is no official time zone on the Moon. The lunar day and link night cycle lasts approximately 29.5 Earth days, which makes it difficult to establish a standardized timekeeping link system. One proposal for a lunar time zone is the creation of the "Lunar Mean Time" (LMT), which would be based on the average length of a lunar day. This would provide a consistent link timekeeping system that would be applicable to all lunar missions and would help avoid confusion and errors in communication.
In this atmosphere of goodwill, we got the watch apart – which, link and I can't emphasize this enough – mostly involves taking out a lot of tiny screws, using the link right color screwdriver. Last time, I was always like WHAT SCREWDRIVER even though it was in Eagle's class, as it was in Le's, color-coded on the screen in front of us. I guess this time I was just prepared for the relationship: What's on the screen is what's in your link hand, dodo bird. Oh well. Better late than never?
At bluegrass festivals or jams today you'll still see Accutron Spaceviews on the wrists of a few attendees. For some, the Spaceview is a talismanic tribute to a bluegrass icon. Among his closest confidants (the ones he rarely, if ever, talked to about music), the link watch is somehow link even more storied. Only his closest circle knew the depths to which this idiosyncratic timepiece had become more link than an accessory.
From the top (and at the end), the guys also chat link about new overlanding platforms (Jeep vs. Land Rover, of course), Jason's recent road trip, new watches, hard-fought legal battles, and a whole lot more. Whether you link want to live in your car or simply want to relax by watching someone else living in theirs, this episode will have you covered. Just press play and a huge thank you to G-Shock for sponsoring this episode link of the show and for helping to make The Grey NATO possible.
