Flash on TiS7. Its an interesting color to try to capture.

Where did you get that gold one? (I suppose not from Karl Lagerfeld directly 👀)
It's a design prototype for the Series 2, they were planning a gold color stainless steel and prototyped some accessories to go with it. That was cancelled though, but the link bracelet survived and ended up for sale privately where I bought it. It's a genuine Apple link bracelet prototype that unfortunately didn't get to the engraving stage.
 
Very nice! So now you have Midnight, Starlight and Green Aluminum?
Sadly just Starlight. Midnight has a macroabrasion and has to go back (eco-guilt on the seller, not me). Green Aluminum I borrowed from mom. If Nike bands didn’t exist, or they did a Green Nike, I’d love to own that finish.

Maybe it’s a blessing and I won‘t find a Midnight yoink and I’ll get the S8 with the new Fitness computing.

Let’s see Cypruss Green on GrA. In my mind It’d make an amazing pairing
Yeah that didn’t make the cut for my trip over yesterday. I already knew I would be choosing quick and random spots to shoot and we know how Cyprus photographs. Just so dark. I’m sure it’s great. Even taking four bands felt a little excessive.

I’m bringing the shuttle on my trip. 🤷‍♂️
 
Any speculation as to what they could do with the pride band(s) this year?

I don’t really see them doing anything with metal. They could do something fun with leather, but I’m skeptical. A Solo loop would make sense I think.

Other ideas off the top of my head (some have been discussed before):

- Nike Sport Band but with a black base
- Similar to the Nike Sport loop, but with a black base
- Sport band but with horizontal sections rather than vertical ones
- Sport band but more “random” placement of colors (like the black unity band)
- Braided Solo Loop but with speckles of the pride colors (similar to the Black unity braided band)

There’s probably a ton of possibilities, any idea what could realistically happen?

Electroplated stainless steel link bracelet

no but really, I think a black base could be really cool, but it might take away from the fun pride in-your-face look they like to go with.

I really think @athousandbands' rainbow text/swoosh concept is on point. I'd be suprised if they didn't do something similar to this for the Nike line of things if they decide to go for a sport loop and not another sport band.

For the non-nike, they'll probably do another braided, so I'd like to see some smooth gradient of colors like 2016 Pride put into a braided solo.

I'm really hopeful they'll release a series of bands, like a set of sport bands in all the pride flags.

Also a BSL where the rainbow is in the thread not among different threads.

Pride HERMES band. All for the paltry $350 :D
We love to see it! /s

But I actually think that as long as they keep offering at least one option at the base price, they can experiment a bit with other bands/price points, like they did with the Braided Solo Loop as a second, higher priced, option.

This is the best way I can render what I think a silicone pride band would look like, maybe you can start over and un-explode the layers and make them create a cool speckled rainbow
