  • Unlock Race-Day Speed for Everyday Runs With the Pegasus Plus 2, Nike’s New Tempo Trainer

    Unlock Race-Day Speed for Everyday Runs With the Pegasus Plus 2, Nike’s New Tempo Trainer

    The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 embodies speed without sacrifice: a fast tempo trainer powered by a visible Air Zoom engine with responsive ZoomX foam designed to make each stride feel lighter, quicker and more alive.

    Refined to reveal what matters most, the Pegasus Plus 2 introduces a system of speed runners can both see and feel, whether they’re logging daily miles, building through long runs or picking up the pace. 

    The next-generation Pegasus is designed for runners who want speed, longevity and versatility each time they lace up, tapping into race-day energy with a fast, powerful and smooth run that demands less and delivers more.

    At the heart of the shoe is an exposed, curved Air Zoom unit in the forefoot, fundamentally changing how a Pegasus feels and performs. Paired with a light and bouncy ZoomX foam midsole, this system helps creates a smooth, propulsive ride that delivers at least 18 percent more energy return than the inaugural Pegasus Plus. 

    Inspired by the fast feel of Nike road racing footwear, the Pegasus Plus 2 delivers the smooth, powerful sensation of a supershoe without the plate, helping runners lock in from the moment they take off.

    “Our goal was simple: speed without sacrifice,” says Deepa Ramprasad, senior director, Nike Running footwear. “We spent years obsessing every ingredient in this system. Nothing more and nothing less than what a runner needs to feel fast, comfortable and confident to push their pace. This is a revolution for the Pegasus franchise, bringing inspiration from race-day sensation into a daily trainer.” 

    The Pegasus Plus 2 is engineered to enable a smooth, comfortable and versatile ride, making it a go-to option for runners who want a shoe with range across run types. The curved Air Zoom unit helps ease each step into the next, creating a rhythm that feels natural and uninterrupted, with inner tensile fibers that act like preloaded springs to pump out more of the energy runners put in.

    A fine-tuned MR10 2.0 last, first introduced in the Pegasus 42, provides a more accommodating forefoot and toe box, while the midfoot system helps keep the foot secure yet nimble for peak comfort. Elevated materials around the ankle, reflective elements, and a modern waffle outsole with innovative flex zones round out the design for an experience that feels light, smooth and more connected to the road. 

    “I love a run where I’m locked in but still enjoying every step,” says Cameron Myers, Nike athlete and world leader in the 1,500 meter. “That’s the feeling I get from this shoe. Easy, fast, smooth. It just flows.” 

    The Pegasus Plus 2 was tested by more than 30 elite Nike athletes across disciplines, from top marathoners to leading track and field icons. The Nike Sport Research Lab rigorously evaluated how runners move and feel to inform design and help deliver the best on-foot experience. The silhouette’s Air Zoom unit features precise pressure tuning, with construction adapted across sizes to help maximize energy return and deliver a consistent experience for all runners. 

    The Pegasus Plus 2 also represents the latest evolution of Nike’s longest-tenured and best-selling running shoe franchise of all time, which is one of three distinct categories comprising the brand’s road running footwear lineup. Pegasus carries forward a legacy of responsive cushioning for all-day energy return, while Vomero offers maximum cushioning for ultimate comfort and Structure provides supportive cushioning for a stable ride. 

    The introduction of the Pegasus Plus 2 — and the innovation at the heart of Nike’s entire road running footwear lineup — reflects Nike’s history as the brand built by runners, for runners, and its continued commitment to creating the most technologically advanced products to help all athletes, from the elite to the everyday, unlock their breakthrough and greatest speed potential. 

    The Nike Pegasus Plus 2 will be available from 1 October 2026 at nike.com and select retail locations.

    Preserve Your Best Moments Exactly the Way You Remember Them

    Even when you’re standing at the back row as your favorite artist takes the stage, or watching wildlife from a great distance, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series brings the world closer with its powerful imaging capabilities.

    Deemed an absolute Zoom Beast, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max helps you get closer to the moments you want to remember. Its 200MP Ultra Large Sensor Telephoto Camera, with 20x Telephoto Zoom, lets you capture every expression of an artist performing on stage or even the most microscopic details of nature. Even when you’re having the time of your life at a concert, your recorded handheld zoom videos will stay smooth and steady, thanks to the camera’s groundbreaking CIPA 7.0 image stabilization.

    02 Telephoto

    Lighting can make or break a photo. But with the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max’s 50MP Ultra Lighting HDR Camera with up to 16 EV dynamic range, your photos will always look well lit, no matter what the lighting condition is. It captures brilliant highlights and rich shadow details, adding depth to every image. Whether you’re capturing the rays of the sun as it shimmers across coastal waters during a trip to the beach, taking a portrait photo of a loved one standing against a golden sunset, or photographing a bustling street as the city begins to glow at dusk, you can preserve the atmosphere, colors, and details of every moment with impressive clarity and realism.

    03 HDR

    Vibrant, lifelike photos require colors that are faithful to what your eyes see. The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series’ 2nd Gen True-to-Colour Camera delivers a wider, more precise color range with expanded color gamut processing. It produces balanced, lifelike colors that reflect the scene exactly how you saw it. From the vivid blue waters of tropical waters during your island getaway and the warm hues of sunlight at your favorite cafe, to the natural skin tones in a group shot of your loved ones, every color is captured with lifelike accuracy, helping your photos feel as authentic and memorable as the moments themselves.

    Turn Every Shot Into a Story with AI Imaging Features

    The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series makes great photography easier to achieve with AI-powered imaging capabilities for endless creativity, so you can turn spontaneous moments and everyday memories into polished, story-driven images you can look back on. With the upgraded AI Composition, taking professional-looking photos becomes more effortless. When you’re on a trip and you find the perfect spot to shoot portrait images of a friend or an iconic city landmark that you want to post online, the feature eliminates the guesswork of framing your image. You can simply follow the on-screen framing suggestions and visual guides to get the best shot with greater ease.

    05 AI Composition

    Even the most stunning images can come with unexpected distractions, but the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series’ AI-powered editing tools make it easier to turn your imperfect shots into polished keepsakes. When you’re taking a photo of the city skyline through a hotel window or capturing an aquarium exhibit, the reflections from the glass can be distracting from the beauty of an image. With AI De-Glare, you can remove these unwanted reflections and recover the details behind them with a single tap.

    Meanwhile, AI Move gives you greater creative freedom after the shot, such as removing a passerby who wandered into your beach photo, repositioning a friend who ended up too close to the edge of a group shot, or resizing a landmark or object to create a more playful travel memory.

    Carry the Mood of a Perfect Getaway, Wherever You Go

    More than just a powerful imaging tool, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is designed to make you stand out. Its new Rhythm of Colour design philosophy draws inspiration from the interplay of light, form, and movement, pairing sleek flat-edged lines with richly layered hues. When you’re heading out to dinner, attending a special celebration, or checking into a luxury getaway, the phone’s refined design makes it a natural statement.

    The HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max offers a striking impression with its industry-first Dual-Tone Gradient Mid-Frame in Orange Ocean. Blazing Purple captures the changing hues of the sky as day turns to night, while Blush Gold and Graphite Black offer a more timeless expression. Whether you’re heading to a beachside dinner in a breezy summer outfit, dressing up for an evening event, or looking for the perfect accessory to complement a more understated look, each finish of the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max offers a distinct way to express your personal style.

    06 ProMax

    Meanwhile, the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro brings a lighter, more playful mood with Orange Soda and Guava Soda, while Coconut White and Mulberry black provide understated elegance. From casual brunches and weekend city strolls, to spontaneous gatherings with friends, the color palettes easily transition between laid-back and polished moments.

For more convenient fast-charging, it also supports 80W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge.

    10 600mAh

    The HUAWEI Pura 90s Series is as durable as it is stylish. With the Anti-Reflective and Scratch-Resistant Kunlun Glass, you’ll feel confident that the HUAWEI Pura 90s Pro Max will remain protected against scratches and accidental drops to keep it looking pristine as ever.

    The musical features a dozen new songs written exclusively for the stage, alongside beloved classics like “For the First Time in Forever,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?,” and the global phenomenon, “Let It Go.”

  • Paw Fest 2026 Returns for Its Biggest Pet Weekend Yet

    Paw Fest 2026 Returns for Its Biggest Pet Weekend Yet

    Paw Fest returns to Robinsons Magnolia on August 22 and 23 for its fifth year, transforming the Upper Ground Floor Atrium into Pawchella Festival—a two-day shopping and community event for people who take their pets seriously.

    Main Poster with Sponsors

    At the center of it all are 36 participating brands, making Paw Fest a weekend shopping haven for premium pet products worth discovering.

    Independent local businesses will share the floor with established pet-care and lifestyle names. Most participating sponsors will offer free product sampling, while others will bring new product launches, special releases, and exclusive event discounts to Paw Fest.

    And when you need a break from shopping, there is plenty happening around the festival.

    On Sunday, August 23, The Furr Project Animal Hospital will conduct a free deworming drive for 150 pets. Dr. Reign Zander Castro, Medical Director of The Furr Project, will also lead a session on the fundamentals of responsible pet care.

    Dr. Saza Curaming, Pet Nutrition Adviser of ADM Philippines, will also share practical insights on gut health and understanding pet food labels.

    The Pet Blessing returns as one of Paw Fest’s traditions and remains free and open to walk-ins.

    The weekend program is also built around participation and community, with audience games, live competitions, brand activities, complimentary Puppuccinos while supplies last, and a free photobooth for all to enjoy. Come early, too: the first 50 qualified guests each day can receive an Early Bird Loot Bag.

    That mix of shopping and shared experiences is a big part of why Paw Fest has lasted five years. It gives pet owners a reason to stay beyond the marketplace and spend the day with a community that cares just as much about their animals.

    Paw Fest Got Talent returns with live performances featuring pets and their humans, while Pawscars 2026 brings pet-centered storytelling to the screen through its short film competition.

    And despite how much the event has grown, one thing has remained constant: Paw Fest remains free to attend, as it has been from the start. Walk-ins are welcome, so visitors can simply show up with their pets and explore.

    Paw Fest is spearheaded by Kott’s Pet Galleria, with Robinsons Magnolia serving as its home venue partner.

    This year’s partners and sponsors include Ganador, Equilibrio, Minino, Pet Depot, Stanley 1913 Philippines, Nestlé Purina, Moochie, Dentalight, Jerky Time, The Furr Project Animal Hospital, Inaba Ciao, and Pet Lovers Centre.

    Five years in, Paw Fest has become the kind of weekend where you might come looking for one thing and leave with a new favorite brand—and probably more shopping bags than planned.

    If you believe your pets deserve the good stuff, August 22 and 23 are worth saving.

  • PUMA Suede Enters a New Era: The Streetwear Staple Returns to the Spotlight

    PUMA Suede Enters a New Era: The Streetwear Staple Returns to the Spotlight

    PUMA opens a new chapter for the iconic Suede with the launch of the PUMA Suede Classic and PUMA Suede Bloom in the Philippines. Regardless of era, age, or trend, across countless scenes, styles, and subcultures, this launch celebrates the quality that made the shoe timeless in the first place: itself.

    One Legacy, Many Cultures

    Puma 1

    Throughout its history, the PUMA Suede has been known by many names. It began in 1968 with the launch of the PUMA Crack for the Mexico City Olympics, where track and field athlete Tommie Smith cemented its legacy by raising it on the podium. The silhouette evolved in 1973 when NBA star Walt Frazier reimagined the design to create the PUMA Clyde, which was later renamed the PUMA Suede to highlight its signature upper material. 

    As B-boy crews and hip-hop culture exploded, the community adopted the shoe as part of their identity. They carried its influence all the way to the UK in the early 1990s, where it earned the name “States” to honor its overseas success. Shaped by decades of cultural influence, the PUMA Suede remains an undeniable icon of sports, music, and streetwear.

    A Timeless Silhouette for Self-Expression

    PUMA Suede Classic 5
    (L-R): PUMA Black-PUMA White, Haute Coffee-PUMA White, and Cayenne Pepper-PUMA White

    Designed for everyday versatility, the PUMA Suede Classic is available in three distinct colorways: Haute Coffee-PUMA White, PUMA Black-PUMA White, and Cayenne Pepper-PUMA White. It features a premium full-suede upper, the iconic leather PUMA Formstrip, and a matching suede heel overlay. Crafted for daily wear, the durable suede develops character over time while maintaining its signature look and comfortable fit. Its low-profile rubber outsole provides reliable traction and stable footing, allowing users to move confidently from busy city streets to weekend hangouts with all-day comfort. 

    Puma Suede
    PUMA Suede Bloom

    Reimagining the classic silhouette, the PUMA Suede Bloom introduces faux pearl-inspired detailing, bead-accented laces, and delicate feminine touches that bring a fresh interpretation to the iconic design. Inspired by the idea of blooming as both a seasonal shift and a form of personal expression, it encourages wearers to style the silhouette in their own unique way. 

    Puma Suede
    PUMA Black-Slate Sky, Misty Pink-Powder Pink, and Frosted Ivory-Silver Fog
    Puma Suede

    Both silhouettes are grounded by a low-profile rubber outsole that provides excellent ground feel, reliable traction, and stable footing, ensuring lasting comfort from daily commutes to weekend outings. 

    Woven into local streets and communities across generations, the PUMA Suede stands as a symbol of effortless style and enduring relevance. For the Philippines, this launch is a call to keep experimenting, connecting, and soaking up the culture.

  • Run for your life: Experience “The End of Oak Street” in 4DX and A-Giant at Ayala Malls Cinemas!

    Run for your life: Experience “The End of Oak Street” in 4DX and A-Giant at Ayala Malls Cinemas!

    This blockbuster season, Ayala Malls Cinemas elevates the movie-watching experience with their specialty cinemas, such as 4DX and A-Giant, offering more fun ways to enjoy movies. After braving strong currents in “The Odyssey” and swinging from skyscrapers in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” movie audiences can now flee from and chase dinosaurs in “The End of Oak Street,” a family action adventure film best enjoyed on a giant screen like A-Giant, or in a multi-sensory cinema like 4DX, where movie audiences get to be as close as they can get to all the roaring action.

    In “The End of Oak Street,” starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella (“My Old Ass”) and Christian Convery (who won a Children’s and Family Emmy for his lead role in “Sweet Tooth”), the Platt family seems like a regular 1980s suburban family, playing potato sack races with the community, joking around the table while having dinner, even having disagreements with the neighbor – and with each other – every once in a while. But all that changes when one day, a mysterious cosmic event rips their neighborhood from suburbia and transports Oak Street to someplace unknown, a place where dinosaurs roam the streets.  

    Co-producer J.J. Abrams (Star Wars and Star Trek franchises) is excited for audiences to see “the movie on the big screen. “‘The End of Oak Street” is a total thrill ride,” he says. “I’ve seen it with audiences. They scream and laugh and cry and cheer. It’s the sort of film that reminds you why you go to the movies.”

    In 4DX, the dinosaur chases are more exciting because every time someone starts to run, the seat will first thrust forward and then continue heaving, swaying or tilting, according to the action happening onscreen. When a character gets hit by one of the invading creatures, the audience will feel it too. When a dinosaur roars, there will be a rush of air. If anyone (dinosaur or human) sneezes or if water gets splashed, the audience will get a little wet too. And on A-Giant, featuring a screen that is four times bigger than the standard movie screen, the dinosaurs seem all the more larger than life.  

    Of course, what’s an Ayala Malls Cinemas experience without the premium features they’re known for, including top-notch Dolby Audio and Dolby Atmos technologies that produce rich, multi-dimensional sound, making every pounding footstep, creaking door, ear-splitting scream and deafening roar feel more vivid and immersive; cutting-edge laser projections that deliver sharper images; and plush seating with generous legroom that provide comfort amidst all the tension and heart-pounding action on the big screen.

    For moviegoers who prefer the convenience of booking tickets online, Ayala Malls Cinemas has you covered with www.ayalaallaccess.com, where you can easily secure tickets, select preferred seats, and even pre-order your favorite snacks before your movie date. The Movie Snackbar offers refreshing drinks and delicious movie snacks, such as burgers, hotdog sandwiches, nachos, chips, fries and, of course, popcorn. Popcorn flavors include Blazing Cheddar, Texan BBQ, Sour Cream & Chives and Farmhouse Cheddar. Greenbelt 3 Cinemas also offers gourmet flavors, namely Truffle Parmesan, Smoked Gouda and Salted Caramel. 

    Watch the Platt family try to survive dinosaurs with your own family and friends. As a gift for those watching with a group, for every two (2) 4DX tickets presented at the 4DX/Cinema 5 door on the film’s opening day, August 12, patrons will get a limited-edition “The End of Oak Street” key chain.
