Random Recs: Graydon Carter’s crib, Nike RunTown, Sofia Coppola style

Graydon Carter by Jonathan Becker for Architectural Digest

A few snippets of digital ephemera and recommendations I’ve enjoyed lately…

1/ NIKE RUNTOWN. Happy London Marathon weekend to all who celebrate. Have you got your #runcore look sorted? If not, get down to Nike’s RunTown pop-up concept boutique in Regent Street (below) for your hit of healthy hedonism. On SubStack, Grace Cook unpacks how ‘race look’ went mainstream, from niche brand sponsored community runs to New Balance’s new anti-chunky, aerodynamic running shoe silhouette* built for speed (below).
