The Harden line has always sat at an interesting intersection of performance basketball and street-ready style, and the Harden Volume 10 continues that conversation with a confident — not flashy — update. If you follow the series, you’ll notice the Vol. 10 largely keeps the silhouette language fans expect: a snug internal bootie, sculpted midsole, and a low-to-mid profile that reads equally at the gym and on the sidewalk. But it’s the small refinements — the way the upper textures ripple, the subtle reshaping of the outsole pads, and the heel/forefoot balance — that signal adidas is dialing in a shoe that cares about both comfort and aesthetics. Comfort: springy, contained, and friendly from the first step From what adidas and early reports say, the Volume 10 leans on the same philosophy the line has favored lately: a cushioning stack that balances energy return with on-court feel. Early spec sheets and brand pages point to a hybrid approach that keeps Boost visible in the midsole for ...

The Monstera Burle Marx ‘Flame’ is one of those houseplants that makes people stop and stare. At first glance its leaves don’t look like the broad, perforated Monstera deliciosa most of us know — instead they’re narrower, deeply undulating and often develop dramatic slits as they mature, giving the impression of flickering tongues of green. That sculptural silhouette, plus a backstory tied to one of Brazil’s most celebrated landscape artists, has turned the Burle Marx Flame into both a botanical curiosity and a collector’s prize.  What is it, exactly? The plant most sellers call “Monstera Burle Marx Flame” is a named cultivar that entered cultivation from Roberto Burle Marx’s garden in Brazil and was later introduced to growers and collectors. Juvenile leaves are often lance-shaped; as the plant climbs and matures, leaves broaden and fenestrate in ways that feel more architectural than tropical-houseplant-cliché. That striking form — somewhere between a Philodendron’s elegance and ...

Among today’s most sought-after houseplants, few command attention quite like the Philodendron Pink Princess. Instantly recognizable by its dramatic, dark green to nearly black leaves splashed with unpredictable blush-pink variegation, this tropical beauty feels less like a typical houseplant and more like living artwork. Each leaf is uniquely patterned—some lightly dusted with rosy streaks, others boldly marbled or even half pink—making every plant a one-of-a-kind spectacle. But beyond its visual charm lies a rewarding care journey and surprising benefits for both people and pets when managed responsibly. Native to the tropical forests of South America, the Pink Princess thrives in warm, humid environments where it climbs toward filtered sunlight beneath dense canopies. When grown indoors, recreating these conditions helps the plant flourish and retain its coveted coloration.
