Last week, London-based sneaker retailer Offspring experimented with a new method to deter reselling for a release of unclaimed sneakers from previous raffles. Clips circulated on social media showed an Offspring employee jumping on several shoeboxes and an Instagram story posted by Offspring showing flattened boxes with the caption “We don’t wear boxes!” caught the attention of sneakerheads around the world.

#中方对澳大利亚在第三国设离岸拘留中心深表关切#【中方对澳大利亚在第三国设立离岸拘留中心的作法深表关切】中国代表12日在正在举行的联合国人权理事会第46次会议上发言。中国代表表示，我们对澳大利亚在第三国设立离岸拘留中心的作法深表关切，特别是拘留中心缺乏医疗条件，大量移民、难民和寻求庇护者被长期甚至无限期强制关押，各项人权受到侵犯。我们敦促澳大利亚立即关闭所有离岸拘留中心，切实保障移民、难民和寻求庇护者尤其是儿童的权利。Australia has freed over 60 refugees after holding them in detention for years under a policy designed to deter people from seeking asylum in the country. According to Refugee Action Coalition, a local activist organization, the refugees were granted temporary visas on March 2 after spending up to eight years in Australian detention on Pacific islands. In a statement to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva published on Friday, China said it was "deeply concerned" by the Australian government's operation of offshore detention centers and urged Australia "to immediately close down all offshore detention centers and take concrete steps to protect the rights of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers, especially children."
