3 h. ago From the new Sambas to the best shoes for a soggy run – 64 trainers to tick every box

Want to know the best way to keep your kicks clean? Looking for a comfy pair that aren’t gross? We’ve got all your trainer questions answeredI bet you know very few people who don’t own a single pair of trainers. Even the most cursory glance at people’s feet on the street, in the office or, occasionally, on a red carpet (Spike Lee is never not in his Air Jordans) is proof that they have transcended their original purpose.But does that mean it’s OK to wear them to work – and if so, which ones?

How do you follow up an Oscar winner like Parasite? If you’re the South Korean auteur, you make a sci-fi satire where Robert Pattinson dies over and over again. The director discusses the inspirational Loach and Mike Leigh and why it’s hard being a ‘middle-aged film-maker’We are in the run-up to the release of Bong Joon Ho’s latest, Mickey 17, and Warner Bros has got the Oscar-winning Korean director stashed away in what appears to be some kind of basement storage room, with grey-painted brickwork and exposed wiring. In fact, this room could pass for one of the “gritty and kind of nasty” cargo-container-packed cabins of his film’s spaceship setting.Not that anyone is complaining. Bong, who speaks good English but prefers to conduct interviews via his longtime interpreter Sharon Choi, appears cheerful throughout our conversation, taking occasional sips from a takeaway coffee cup, while dressed in his usual arthouse auteur uniform of a slate-grey blazer over a black T-shirt.

8 h. ago ‘It was so fleeting, yet weirdly they were almost posing’: Richard Chambury’s best phone photo

The London photographer always saw odd things going on while cycling at weekends, but nothing quite like this You’d be forgiven for thinking this shot was taken during the pandemic; an inventive, impromptu attempt at masking up, perhaps. Instead, Richard Chambury took it in the spring of 2013, in London’s Victoria Park.“My daughter was 11 and to get her out and about on the weekends we used to go cycling,” Chambury says. “We eventually discovered this was not her favourite pastime; she’s a reader, and likes the warmth.
