It might be a bit of an unusual collaboration but with esports teams looking for new revenue streams, this type of partnership makes sense. K-Swiss just announced its partnership with one of North America’s best-known esports teams The Immortals to create a custom pair of sneakers for the club. As expected, the shoe is more of a “lifestyle shoe” as the demands needed by professional gamers won’t be similar to those needed by, let’s say an NBA athlete. “E-sports is the new frontier of sports and entertainment, and this is another way for K-Swiss to contribute to culture in a progressive and modern way,” K-Swiss brand President Barney Waters said in a statement.
K-Swiss designers are said to be shadowing The Immortals players at the team’s LA training facility to custom design the shoes for them and this entire process will be documented for an upcoming video series. “K-Swiss designers will consider a professional gamer’s technical performance needs, such as the rising temperature in a shoe and movement of feet during a match,” the company explains. For fans of the team, the shoes will be available in December for US$110 (around CA$140).

LG is set to unveil the G7 ThinQ on May 2 but the company isn’t trying to keep it under wraps as they show off one of the key features of the new phone. The Korean company is teasing the new “Boombox” speaker coming with the phone. It’ll supposedly have “ten times the loudness” of its competitors thanks to the speaker increasing the “base sound level by more than 6dB.” Aside from that, it would supposedly produce twice the amount of bass as the typical smartphone speaker, which will be amplified if the phone is placed on a solid surface. According to LG, they were able to achieve this with a special “resonance chamber design.” We’re not sure how LG got this to work but from the image above, it looks like LG is using the entire body of the phone to help boost the sound.
It also seems the Hi-Fi Quad DAC seen in the likes of the V30 is making a comeback, which is great news for those who love high-end audio and those who want to know if the headphone jack is still going to be around. The G7 ThinQ will also reportedly get DTS-X support, which will bring 3D surround sound effects to a smartphone for the first time.
