Oh man, where do we start with this? If you’ve always looked at a Formula 1 car and thought, yeah, I’d put that in my living room, then Red Bull Racing has just made your dream come true. This is the first time fans and collectors can now officially get their hands on a full-scale Red Bull Racing F1 car. Did we mention that it comes with an F1 steering wheel?!

With only ten of the 2024 Official Red Bull Racing Driver Championship Winning Show Cars available, they will be released through F1 Authentics as part of an exclusive partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing. Although this is a limited release, it isn’t a mass-produced collector’s item or a novelty display—it’s designed for buyers who already understand what it means to own something closely related to Formula 1 history.

While the exact price hasn’t been publicly disclosed, it’s safe to say this isn’t going to be a casual purchase. A race-ready Formula 1 car can cost upwards of USD $16 million, and although this show car doesn’t include a power unit, expectations still place it comfortably in the seven-figure range, likely north of USD $2 million. In other words, it sits in that familiar realm of ultra-high-end collectibles where the price tag is almost beside the point — if you’re asking for the number, you’re probably not the target buyer.

In terms of presence, this is as close as you can get to the real thing without needing a race engineer on standby. The car is a full-scale replica of the exact RB20 driven by Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez during the 2024 Formula 1 season. It features an ultra-lightweight carbon-fibre monocoque, and buyers can choose from three official 2024 Red Bull Racing liveries, allowing the car to be configured as a genuine visual match to the machines seen on the grid. As a piece of motorsport art, it’s hard to imagine anything more commanding — this isn’t décor, it’s dominance on display.

There is one thing to keep in mind: owning the RB20 Show Car comes with certain conditions. When you buy it, you sign a special licensing agreement that makes you an official Red Bull licensee. This means you agree not to use the show car for anything illegal, to speak badly about the Red Bull brand, or to make political, religious, or discriminatory statements.

And then there’s the legacy. The RB20 isn’t just any Formula 1 car; it’s one of the most successful cars the sport has ever seen. During the 2024 season, it helped Verstappen win nine races, finish on the podium 18 times, start first in eight races, and score an amazing 589 points, eventually helping him win his fourth Drivers’ World Championship with three races still left to go. That kind of success doesn’t happen often, which is why owning a full-size RB20 isn’t just about being a fan; it’s about owning a real piece of modern Formula 1 history.

So yes, you can now keep a Red Bull Racing F1 car in your living room. And if you do, you won’t just be making a bold decoration choice, you’ll be showing off one of the most powerful Formula 1 cars ever.

After a much-anticipated comeback last year, the Nike Air Max TL 2.5 is still flourishing with vibrant new colorways that honor its early 2000s heritage. Nike is now unveiling this streamlined silhouette in two striking versions: “Obsidian” and “Citron.” Each version presents a distinct look while remaining faithful to the design’s futuristic allure.

The “Obsidian” colour-way adopts a sophisticated style, layering various shades of deep blue on the lower part of the upper. Bright white highlights on the collar, laces, and midsole create a bold contrast, enhancing the sneaker’s classic appeal. In contrast, the “Citron” edition embraces a lively, dynamic vibe. A black base is infused with electric green details on the Swooshes, upper sections, and the Air unit, while silver accents weave through the design for a modern flair.

Both pairs are anticipated to launch on Nike SNKRS and select retailers in early 2025.

Nike’s vast collection of lifestyle sneakers consistently influences contemporary launches, particularly highlighted by the Air Max TL 2.5. This model first reemerged in collaboration with Nike x Comme des Garçons and quickly gained popularity, leading to a more significant release from Nike.

Combining performance and lifestyle aesthetics, the Air Max TL 2.5 features a structured upper with striking line-work, a full-length Air cushioning system for daytime comfort, and a durable rubber outsole for traction. The “Obsidian” colour-way offers a versatile, everyday appeal, while the “Citron” edition showcases a stunning blend of vivid colours and precise detailing.

While Nike hasn’t announced a specific release date, sneaker enthusiasts can anticipate the launch of the “Obsidian” and “Citron” colour-ways for the Air Max TL 2.5 in the coming months, priced at USD $180.
