Sneakers
The Air Jordan 14 Low "Black Pack" released October 3 alongside the Air Jordan 16, covered in black ostrich leather side panels with nubuck around the toe under style code IZ3884-001. Retail is $240, and the pair was limited to select retailers rather than a Nike SNKRS launch — per Sneaker Bar Detroit's coverage of the release. The Black Pack rollout continues November 7 with additional colorways still to be detailed.
Sports
The Dallas Cowboys host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight at AT&T Stadium to open NFL Week 5's Thursday Night Football slate, kickoff 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video. Dallas is favored by 3.5 points, per Gridiron Games' schedule listing. Elsewhere tonight, the NBA preseason continues with the Sacramento Kings at Los Angeles Lakers at 10:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and the Miami Heat hosting the New Orleans Pelicans at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Culture
Amazon MGM's thriller "Verity" topped the domestic box office with roughly $32.6 million from 3,510 theaters over its October 2–4 opening weekend, against a reported $40 million budget, despite a C+ CinemaScore. Warner Bros./Legendary's "Digger," starring Tom Cruise, opened well behind at $7.5 million against a reported $125 million budget — a sharp divide between a modestly budgeted original and a star-driven tentpole.
Technology
Database platform Supabase raised $150 million in new funding led by GIC, with CapitalG, IronArc, and SquarePeg also participating, and separately agreed to acquire Turso, a SQLite-based database built for AI agents, for an undisclosed sum. Turso's customers include Superhuman, Sauna.ai, and Mastra, and the platform will continue operating with a path to integrate into Supabase's broader ecosystem.
