2 Bold Drops From New Balance & Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court Bring Neon Heat & Creamy Cool
New Balance 1906A Neon Pack
New Balance is turning the heat back up on its 1906A lineup with a bold new 'Neon Pack' dropping this Fall.
After letting the 2010 and 2000 series take the spotlight for a bit, the 1906A returns with two eye-catching colourways that are anything but low-key.
The 'Pink Metallic' colorway goes all out with a black base, bright pink mesh, and shiny silver accents – giving serious Y2K-meets-cyberpunk vibes.
Meanwhile, the 'White/Green' version is a clean, minimalist look, built on off-white leather with subtle neon green details hiding in the stitching and outsole.
Both styles still champion the 1906A's deconstructed frame and tech-runner DNA, but this pack plays with tone and texture in exciting new ways. Whether you're after an unapologetically loud statement shoe or something more quietly confident, the Neon Pack has your vibe sorted.
The New Balance 1906A 'Pink Metallic' and 'White/Green' Neon Pack will retail for US$170 (~RM799) and are expected to launch in Fall 2025 at select New Balance stores and online.
Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court 'Muslin'
Jordan Brand is teaming up once again with Ev Bravado and Tela D'Amore's label, Who Decides War, to deliver a fresh take on its newest lifestyle silhouette: the Jordan Flight Court.
After helping launch the model with a sleek black version last year, the duo is back – this time with something softer, but just as bold.
Enter the 'Muslin' colourway, a creamy concoction of coconut milk, varsity red, and off-white tones. The upper features signature Who Decides War touches like intricate stitching and that low-key bullet logo, tucked behind a semi-translucent heel.
You'll also spot the red Jumpman branding and a hidden message – 'The World Is Your Court' – etched on the tongue's inner side.
This collab leans into detail without going overboard, blending streetwear's storytelling with Jordan's court heritage. It's clean, it's wearable, and it lowkey makes you feel like you're walking on a gallery floor instead of just the sidewalk.
The Who Decides War x Jordan Flight Court 'Muslin' will retail for US$115 (~RM539) and is expected to release in Summer 2025 at select Nike stores and online via Nike SNKRS and Nike.com.my.

AI could save up to US$70bil a year in disaster losses by 2050: Deloitte
KUALA LUMPUR: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to help global leaders build stronger, more resilient infrastructure to better anticipate, manage, and recover from increasingly frequent and severe natural disasters, potentially avoiding up to US$70 billion in annual infrastructure losses by 2050, according to a Deloitte report. The report estimates that average yearly losses from natural disasters could rise to between US$460 billion and over US$500 billion by 2050, with storms and floods making up the largest share of these losses. Deloitte said that embedding AI into infrastructure planning and operations can enhance prevention, detection, and response capabilities, allowing both public and private sector leaders to proactively manage and reduce disaster-related risks. "If deployed strategically, AI can help leaders identify risks sooner, optimise resources, prevent costly failures and disruption, and accelerate response and recovery times during natural disasters. Investing in both preventative and reactive AI-powered infrastructure solutions can help safeguard economic value and increase business resilience," said Jennifer Steinmann, Deloitte global sustainability business leader. Adopting AI technologies, from infrastructure planning through operations, can offer preventative, detective, and responsive solutions to help address natural disasters, providing private and public sector leaders options to proactively mitigate these risks. The benefits are significant. Deloitte Global's report found that AI can help prevent damages of US$30 billion on average per year from storms alone globally by 2050. AI-powered detection and reaction systems, like early warning systems, can reduce risks from wildfires and floods. For example, early bushfire detection can help mitigate losses of between US$100 million and US$300 million annually in Australia, depending on detection and reaction times. Deloitte said although AI offers significant potential to boost the resilience of critical infrastructure, leaders must collaborate to overcome barriers to adoption, including outdated infrastructure, regulatory shortcomings, and financial limitations. Coordinating among stakeholders worldwide to develop AI tools that complement other resilience measures is crucial for driving innovation and building a more robust future, said Costi Perricos, Deloitte's global generative AI business leader. "With broader adoption and improved AI capabilities, projected annual savings in direct disaster costs by 2050 could reach as much as US$115 billion, potentially eliminating nearly one-third of disaster-related losses. "This research demonstrates the clear economic, environmental, and societal value AI can provide, and leaders should take action to help ensure minimal disruption."

Gold rebounds from over one-month low on weaker dollar
KUALA LUMPUR: Gold reversed course and edged higher on Monday, supported by a weaker dollar, after hitting a more than one-month low earlier as easing US-China trade tensions dampened safe-haven demand and bolstered risk appetite. Spot gold rose 0.30 per cent to US$3,281.65 per ounce, as of 0216 GMT, after hitting its lowest since May 29 earlier in the session. US gold futures were up 0.20 per cent at US$3,293.30. "There is less of a 'doom and gloom' outlook surrounding both tariff talks and events in the Middle East, which is relegating gold to play second fiddle to risk assets," KCM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. Asian shares firmed, with Wall Street futures advancing, while the US dollar index fell 0.20 per cent. A lower dollar makes greenback-priced bullion less expensive. The US and China have resolved issues surrounding shipments of rare earth minerals and magnets to the United States, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Friday, adding that the Trump administration's various trade deals with other countries could be done by the September 1 Labor Day holiday. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump abruptly cut off trade talks with Canada on Friday over its tax targeting US technology firms, saying that it was a "blatant attack" and he would set a new tariff rate on Canadian goods within a week. The Iran-Israel ceasefire after a 12-day conflict also appeared to be holding, further reducing safe-haven demand. "The dollar remains pressured which is limiting the extent of the slide for gold. However, the US$3,250 level shapes as a key support level for gold. Any breach of this level could see losses accelerate towards the US$3,200 level," Waterer said. Stable geopolitical and economic conditions often reduce demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, while non-yielding bullion's appeal further wanes in a high-interest-rate environment. Spot silver was down 0.10 per cent at US$36.02 per ounce, platinum firmed one per cent to US$1,353.13, while palladium was up 0.20 per cent at US$1,135.48.
