    British researchers have found that DNA signals lurking in saliva and blood samples are linked to an adverse reaction to materials in most joint implants. About 15% of Britons have these genetic characteristics, which make the immune system attack tissue around the material, causing pain and swelling

How circular fashion can help you save (and make) money during the cost of living crisis

Twice a year, the global streetwear juggernaut Supreme releases its official lookbook and photo preview for the forthcoming collection. Reliably, it delivers an array of loudly colored clothes, logo-heavy wares, and bewildering graphics. But each season also brings something new or unexpected: a Honda dirt bike, a Swarovski crystal box logo tee, or a leopard-print version of a mid-century accent chair, maybe. This time around, the unlikely pairing of the season is a collaboration with Speedo, the longtime makers of form-fitting swimwear and other swim-related accessories.

The collaboration includes a silicone swim cap—offered in black and Supreme’s famous vibrant red—and a pair of loudly colored swim goggles. Both items are fine, and quintessentially Supreme in that there is no shortage of the brand’s bold logo. 7/10, solid work, we can all go home.

But there’s one striking omission—a product that would have taken this right to the top of the long list of iconic Supreme collaborations. I am very sorry to report: there is no Supreme x Speedo Speedo. Sadly, Supreme opted out of putting its iconic logo on a pair of the swim brand’s infamous triangle-shaped swim briefs. (Or as they’re known in Speedo’s founding country of Australia, “budgie smugglers.”)

If any brand could have gotten streetwear-obsessed American men to wear a Speedo, it would be Supreme. Is it really that crazy to imagine hypebeasts frolicking in cherry-red, Supreme-adorned Speedos? In some ways, it feels like we are halfway there. As functional style has grown more popular in recent years, well-dressed men have started to embrace shorts in more adventurous cuts and colors. Patagonia’s Baggies and Nike ACG’s hiking shorts—both featuring a slightly daring 5-inch inseam—have become favorites among style-forward men. (And who can forget Tom Brady’s tiny beach shorts?) Perhaps more importantly, in our meme-based economy: could anything set the Internet on fire faster? My money would be on Bad Bunny being the first celebrity to wear them, with Odell Beckham Jr. and Justin Bieber at a close second. 

In the chaos that is 2020, a Supreme Speedo would have, at the very least, given us all something to unite around. To adore or to loathe. To meme into infinity. And for a brand that loves an occasional troll, it feels like a missed opportunity. The alternative history is almost too sweet to imagine: young men everywhere, credit cards at the ready, banana hammocks added to carts. There’s always next year.
