Nike Air Force 1 ‘Unmistakable’ An Indian take on a Nike icon – Built for those who beat the odds

In a moment that will define sneaker culture in India, Nike and Superkicks unite to unveil the legendary Air Force 1 “Unmistakable”. For decades, the Nike Air Force 1 (AF1) has redefined expectations, born on the court, adopted on the streets, and continuously reshaped by culture around the world. Now, that legacy continues in India with the AF1 ‘Unmistakable,’ an exclusive release made for those who embody this spirit of confidence and ambition, and believe they have what it takes to beat the odds. This monumental release marks a new chapter, bringing one of the world’s most iconic sneakers to India’s vibrant community through an exclusive Superkicks Mumbai launch. The AF1 ‘Unmistakable’ retains the clean and timeless construction that made the silhouette iconic and has been refreshed in new ways. The unmistakable blue Swoosh, heel tab, and outsole bring renewed energy to the AF1 and represent the bold hopes and momentum of India’s new generation of athletes*. The color palette of blue, orange, green, and white represents India’s youth shaping the future of sport, and a special “Just Do It” keychain nods to their relentless winning mentality. Beyond the signature leather upper that delivers the form and durability the silhouette is known for, a perforated toe box with original Nike Air cushioning provides breathability and comfort. Proudly made in India, this sneaker is set to be an unmistakable favorite style choice. Worn by Nike athletes Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Shreyas Iyer, and Manika Batra, the AF1 ‘Unmistakable’ stands for self-belief, individuality, and the resilience of Indian athletes* to beat the odds. The Nike campaign featuring these athletes was shot in grassroots sports academies of Mumbai and Jaipur. The shoot is a celebration of youth at the intersection of cricket and style culture and was inspired by each athlete’s personal story of resilience, perseverance and success. Nike Athlete Quotes Shubman Gill – “When the competition is this intense, the only thing you can control is how hard you keep going,” says Shubman Gill. “That’s the story of so many athletes in India, who are pushing past limits, creating their own opportunities. To me, the AF1 represents that belief that no matter the odds, you keep rising.” “The AF-1 Unmistakable is a great tribute from Nike to Indian athletes,” adds Shubman. “I love that there’s a tag saying ‘Just Do It’ in green. When we were playing the Under-16s, we had a saying – ‘When in doubt with choosing a shoe, go with Air Force 1 because they always match, no matter what outfit you wear!’”     Tilak Varma – “As I look ahead to my year of cricket and competition, it is the confidence, passion and fighting spirit of Indian athletes and fans that I will be taking in with me as extra fuel,” says Tilak Varma. “To me, this AF1 comes at the perfect time, a nod to the uniqueness of Indians, born to ignore the odds and win anyway. I’m glad to have a style expression for this now.”   Shreyas Iyer – “The blue sole and swoosh of the Nike Air Force 1 Unmistakable is so unique,” says Shreyas Iyer. “It also has a green and orange accent which is a tribute to all Indian athletes. It has the silhouette of the Nike Air Force 1, which has been the same since 1972. The green ‘Just Do It’ keychain goes so well with the shoe.”   Manika Batra – “Growing up, you had to work relentlessly for every step forward and often ignore the forces that might be working against your dream. That’s the mindset that shaped me, and it’s the mindset I see in so many young athletes across India,” says Manika Batra. “For me, AF1 reflects that attitude: staying resilient, trusting the grind, and turning every challenge into something bigger. You have to check them out, they’re so cool.” Sangeet Paryani, CEO & Co-founder of Superkicks, shares: “Our collaboration with Nike on the AF-1 ‘Unmistakable’ is rooted in a shared belief in culture-first storytelling. The Air Force 1 has always been a symbol of confidence and self-expression, and bringing this exclusive release to India through Superkicks feels like a natural extension of our journey, one that celebrates individuality, ambition, and the community that continues to shape street culture in the country.” The AF1 ‘Unmistakable’ will first be available to purchase in India on Nike.com, in Nike stores, SUPERKICKS (https://www.superkicks.in/?) , and at other Nike retail partners on 31 January 2026.

LAND PRICES SET TO FALL OR OFF-PLAN PRICES TO RISE AS 2026 BECOMES PIVOTAL YEAR FOR DUBAI REAL ESTATE

LAND PRICES SET TO FALL OR OFF-PLAN PRICES TO RISE AS 2026 BECOMES PIVOTAL YEAR FOR DUBAI REAL ESTATE

Firas Al Msaddi forecasts fewer new launches as handovers rise and pressure builds on developer economics Dubai, UAE, 6th February 2026: Land prices will need to adjust or off-plan prices will rise as 2026 shapes up to be a decisive year for Dubai’s real estate market, according to one of the city’s leading property experts. Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fäm Properties, expects a clear reduction in new project launches this year, alongside a rise in completed homes entering the market, as developers face growing pressure on profitability and cash flow. “Land prices in Dubai are at historic highs, and developer profitability depends far more on how quickly units sell than on headline margins,” said Al Msaddi. “Sales velocity is becoming the key constraint.” While buyer protections remain strong, Al Msaddi noted that they do not insulate developers from financial pressure. “Escrow accounts protect buyers, but they do not guarantee developer returns,” he said. “When sales slow, cash flows tighten, returns get squeezed, and developers naturally become more selective about launching new projects.” This sets up what he describes as the central question facing the market in 2026 – whether land prices adjust to restore commercial viability at current off-plan pricing levels, or off-plan prices rise further to justify today’s land values. “There are two sustainable outcomes,” he said. “If land prices adjust, launch feasibility improves, end prices stabilise and transaction volumes return gradually. “If land prices remain elevated, off-plan prices must rise, product quality and differentiation become critical, and only the strongest locations and developers will succeed.” What is unlikely, he added, is a prolonged period where land prices remain high, sale prices stay flat, and volumes remain elevated, as markets do not sustain that kind of imbalance for long. Dubai has historically absorbed around 35,000 ready homes per year in balanced market conditions. In 2026, however, Al Msaddi expects handovers to rise to between 40,000 and 50,000 units as projects already well advanced in construction reach completion. “This doesn’t point to a price correction,” he said. “What it means is slower selling times, flatter prices, and tighter margins. The impact is felt by developers first, not end users.” As a result, Al Msaddi expects a material reduction in new project launches in 2026 compared to 2025, not because demand has disappeared, but because launching projects has become harder to justify financially. To date, launches are 47% down on the same period last year, and while it’s too early to assess the longer-term effect this year, he sees an inevitable annual drop in unveilings, resulting in less supply, while demand remains healthy. Dubai currently has close to one million freehold ready homes, most of which are occupied and trading within a stable market, and there is no sign of persistent vacancy pressure or widespread forced selling. With no structural problem in the ready-home segment, Al Msaddi sees the real pressure lying in the fact that roughly 500,000 homes are under construction, the largest pipeline Dubai has ever carried at one time. “Most of this supply is already sold,” he said. “The key issue is how and when investors sell and move their money out.”

Mizu Izakaya Completes Five Years in Mumbai

Mizu Izakaya Completes Five Years in Mumbai 

Five years ago, a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant opened on a quiet Bandra lane and changed how Mumbai looks at Japanese food. Mizu Izakaya, the city’s first modern izakaya, has since become a reference point for Japanese dining in Mumbai, known for its focused menu, precise technique and easy, neighbourhood energy. Founded by childhood friends Vedant Malik and Chef Lakhan Jethani, Mizu Izakaya was conceived as a space where Japanese food could feel approachable without compromise. The idea was never about excess or performance, but about flavour, hospitality, and food that people would return to, week after week. At the heart of Mizu Izakaya is Chef Lakhan Jethani’s umami-driven approach to cooking. Trained in hospitality and culinary sciences, and influenced by his understanding of both Japanese cuisine and Indian produce, his menu balances precision with warmth. Ingredients are treated thoughtfully, technique is restrained, and familiarity is valued over fleeting trends. Over the years, several dishes have emerged as clear favourites. The Shio Kombu Mushrooms remain a standout for how they bring together a sea-algae dashi caramel, three varieties of mushrooms and peanut furikake, a dish that feels both simple and deeply flavoured. The Sizzling Mochi, served with sweet and spicy soy, sesame and bocconcini, offers a playful, textural warm starter that regulars return to. Seafood-led dishes reflect the kitchen’s clean, ingredient-first approach. The Hokkaido Scallop, finished with gondhoraj lime zest, is praised for its clarity and restraint, while the Salmon & Cucumber Gunkan Maki, salmon tartare with mentaiko, tobiko and furikake showcases the restaurant’s ability to present familiar Japanese formats with its own quiet confidence. Other favourites include the Matcha Aduki Apple, a gluten-free dessert with panna cotta, sorbet, and apple compote; the Strawberry Dojima Roll Cake; and the Japanese Milk Tea Parfait layered with boba, mochi, and ice cream. Reflecting on the milestone, Vedant Malik shares that the vision for Mizu Izakaya has always been centred on longevity through care, focusing on quality, people, and process over spectacle. As Mizu Izakaya completes five years in Mumbai, it continues to stand for Japanese dining that is thoughtful, flavour-first, and quietly confident. No reinvention, just evolution, guided by consistency and trust earned over time. Address: Ground Floor, Ganga Jamuna Building 14th Road Pali, Khar West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400052 Timings: 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm, 6:30 pm – 11:30 pm For more information follow @mizuizakaya.mumbai

The Concorde Agreement underscores the commitment of the FIA, Formula 1 Group and all teams to continue growing and developing the sport, and to keep driving the momentous expansion it has seen in recent years. The new contract enables the FIA to invest further in improved race regulation, race direction, stewarding and technical expertise for the benefit of the Championship, and means the sport can continue to evolve, providing exciting technological innovation and sporting action for fans, broadcasters and partners, all within a stable and structured regulatory framework. Combined with record viewership growth, a dynamic race calendar, and increasing engagement from younger audiences, the FIA Formula One World Championship enters this next chapter with unprecedented momentum. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, said: “The ninth Concorde Agreement secures the FIA Formula One World Championship’s long-term future and I am proud of the dedication that has been invested in this process. “I would like to thank Stefano Domenicali and his team in what has been a strong collaboration, building a framework grounded in fairness, stability, and shared ambition. This agreement allows us to continue modernising our regulatory, technological, and operational capabilities, including supporting our race directors, officials, and the thousands of volunteers whose expertise underpin every race. We are ensuring that Formula 1 remains at the forefront of technological innovation, setting new standards in global sport.” Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1 Group, said: “Today is an important day for Formula 1.

I want to thank the President of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem and all the teams for the collaboration and determination to achieve the best results for the entire sport in our discussions. “We have a huge amount to be proud of, but we also are focussed on the opportunities and exciting potential for Formula 1 in the years ahead.”
