Severe Tropical Cyclone Ian rapidly strengthen on Thursday northwest of Tonga. Current winds are 165 km/h with a pressure of 960 hPa… however, recent infrared satellite imagery since sunset suggests that Ian may have weakened some… or at least has stopped strengthening. Prior to sunset, a visible eye was apparent, albeit somewhat cloud filled. After sunset, little warming (indicative of an eye) is apparent on satellite. After a few days of erratic drifting between Fiji and Tonga, the subtropical ridge to the southeast of Ian is retrograding northward in advance of a frontal boundary moving east across New Zealand. The frontal will entice Ian to pick up forward speed and move southeastward across the northern islands of Tonga, spreading hurricane-force winds across several islands before weakening late this weekend southeast of Tonga.

Oregon’s own Poler is no stranger to linking up with the state’s finest export, Nike, as the two have hooked up for numerous collaborative efforts in the past.http://www.goodairmaxshoes.com The great-outdoors brand usually sticks within the constraints of the Nike SB line, and this time they continue that thought process with a number of new enticing SB silhouettes. There’s the boot rendition of the Nike SB Dunk High,Air Jordan 6 Infrared a unique take on the Nike SB Trainerendor (which we still don’t know whether it’s an ACG or SB silhouette) a Nike Blazer and Nike SB Lunar Gato. Each pair sports a unique burnt orange and brown aesthetic for a nice final goodbye to the changing seasons as we head into winter. Look below for full images of each Poler x Nike sneaker and be on the lookout for this collaborative effort to arrive at retailers.
