Nike and LEGO's space sneakers: a yellow Air Max Dn for kids

Bright yellow, because of course it is. Nike and LEGO kicked off their in-line product collaboration in August 2025 with the LEGO x Nike Air Max Dn, a space-themed sneaker built for kids who want their basketball style to travel beyond Earth. A yellow Air Max Dn is a loud place to start, and I mean that as a compliment. It's the kind of shoe that announces itself from across the playground. What I want to know is whether the LEGO of it all lives in the details or just the colorway, and how the thing actually holds up once a kid has worn it to actual pieces. For another collaboration playing a longer game, Corteiz and Nike are trading secrets while the Shox R419 waits for its 2026 curtain. Stay spooty.

Two Anker 45W chargers for under fifty bucks sounds like a dare

Two Anker 45W chargers for under fifty bucks sounds like a dare. Anker's latest single-port USB-C charger packs 45W, foldable prongs, and a front-facing smart display that shows charge level and power flow at a glance. Normally $39.99, it's down to $23.99 during Amazon's October sale, which means you can grab two for less than what one usually costs. That's the kind of math I can get behind. The deal runs until 3 AM ET on October 8th, 2026, so this window is narrow and fast. If you've been circling back on a compact travel charger that actually tells you what it's doing, this is the razor clam. Also worth a look: our roundup of Prime Day's cheap seat, six things under $25 that don't suck. Stay spooty.
