Maybe as many of you, I grew up heavily wearing Nike products, mainly their sneakers. Nike products were pretty ubiquitous in North American culture in the 00s and even more so in the 10s with the rise of collabs.

However, personally, I fell off the Nike bandwagon around 2015-2019 and I've only bought like 5 Nike pieces since then. On the other hand, brands like Adidas, New Balance and even Reebok have been growing since roughly that time span and have gotten a bit of a resurgence in the broader mainstream culture.

What prompted me to write this post and start this discussion is this article about Nike's stock price going down and just not being surprised at all, whatsoever. Article in question: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/article/nikes-stock-plunge-is-relentless-182413545.html

Maybe where you are, Nike is still pretty relevant culturally or within subcultures you are active in. So, most likely, you have a very different view on this.

I'd love to read everyone's thoughts on the brand and whether you disagree, agree or just don't care.

I own multiple pairs of boots, a pair of boston birkenstocks and a gym/running shoe. But recently I've been wanting a summer shoe that isnt a sneaker, but that i can wear with shorts, and I kinda like the loafer and sock look. What are your thoughts? 😃

It's world cup season so everyone who wasn't already aware of the micro trend of wearing sports jerseys is now wearing sports jerseys to rep their favorite countries (or players).

Personally, I'd prefer repping my country through non-Jersey merch as many brands have made their own football merch that is actually quite fashionable.

Here's my list of some of my fav items:

- Levi's ringer Canada Tee

- Peace Collective's Canada Rugby

- Peace Collective's Canada Sweater

- Province of Canada's Canada Hat (If you were looking for a red and white hat and don't want to look like a MAGA, this is the hat for you)

- Province of Canada's Football Graphic Tee

Disclaimer: I don't own all of these items

What are r/ThrowingFits fav non-Jersey merch to rep their countries?

Hey y'all,

We recently launched Stoffel, a complete runtime for multiparty computation (MPC). MPC is a cryptography primitive that allows you to do distributed, privacy-preserving computation without needing to have the inputs for that computation. Think of it as a compiler that takes a regular single party program and transforms it into a distributed network in which the inputs are unknown to all of the nodes in the network.

Our goal is to empower developers to build privacy-first apps from the start instead of retrofitting it later on.

Would love for the TUI community to check it out.

Here's the GitHub: https://github.com/Stoffel-Labs/stoffel

Hi All,

We cut our first release of our MPC runtime (no this is not a typo, MPC =/= MCP), Stoffel. Multiparty computation (MPC) is a cryptography primitive that allows private distributed compute. It takes any program/function that is typically ran locally and transforms it into a program that can be executed across a set of nodes while keeping the inputs secret from each node as long as a threshold of them don't collude. In short, it's a way to get data privacy while still gaining utility from that data by being able to compute over it.

Our mission is to enable regular developers to build privacy-first apps from the start, instead of retrofitting or solely relying data privacy solutions (which really are just glorified data mapping solutions).

Our GitHub is here: https://github.com/Stoffel-Labs/stoffel/tree/main
