These products are not holistic or healing. They won’t help you detox or meditate. But they are enchanting in their own unique ways, bringing pizzazz to your home so the day never feels boring. I think clean living can be great, with all the kale and organic cotton sheets and whatnot, but not everything in our home has to be health-forward. Some things can just be rad. And these are some of those things. 

Add a few of these maximalist home items to your space to bring the odd and outrageous back into your life. This is for people who are doing the most.

Is it furry? Does it have tentacles? It’s hard to tell, but no one can say this light pendant is basic. It’s whacky and weird and sure to start conversations with anyone who walks into your home. These kinds of pieces fit what I like to call the Jellyfish Aesthetic, which brings in otherworldly and fluid shapes that mesmerize and maybe confuse a little too.

Transform your living room arrangement into a flourishing garden with this eccentric flower chair. It looks like a lily (or something like that; I’m not a botanist) and has push arms and a seat, so it’s much comfier than sitting on an actual flower. It comes in an assortment of colors, but if you want to stay away from “clean” styles, I recommend the dramatic orange or vibrant red.

For context, the third spot belongs to the 2020 Air Jordan 11 “Jubilee.” That means the top three release days in StockX history all belong to the same silhouette. If anyone ever needed proof that the Jordan 11 still runs the table, this is it.

The “Gamma” rerelease landed on December 13 with a retail price of $235 and vanished from most major retailers almost immediately. Buyers didn’t hesitate. On StockX, activity surged fast enough to push the sneaker past nearly every other release the platform has ever tracked. Average resale prices now hover around $350, with some sizes pushing higher depending on demand.

A big reason this drop hit so hard is simple. This was the first time the “Gamma” colorway returned since its original 2013 release. No endless retro cycle. No yearly refresh. For a lot of sneakerheads, this was unfinished business. The Jordan 11 already sits near the top of most collectors’ lists, and bringing back a colorway that stayed locked away for more than a decade lit a fuse.

The Jordan 11’s track record backs it up. Nike executives have referenced the model repeatedly in earnings calls as one of the most successful launches in company history. In 2017, the “Space Jam” 11 earned that title. In 2019, the “Bred” 11 followed. The formula hasn’t changed. Patent leather, holiday timing, and cultural memory still hit.

What makes the “Gamma” performance stand out is volume. Jordan 11s are produced at scale, often rumored to reach seven figures in pair counts. High supply usually cools resale excitement. That didn’t happen here. Buyers showed up anyway, clicking fast and often, pushing the sneaker into StockX history within hours.

Momentum like that doesn’t come from nostalgia alone. It comes from a silhouette that still feels important every time it drops. The “Gamma” proved that point loudly.

Long before Cena became a bonafide wrestling legend, in the early days, he was known for his love of hip-hop and culture. Not only has his career stood the test of time, but so have his fits. He’s always had an eye for fashion and influencing pop culture —though these days he’s sporting suits that probably (definitely) cost more than my rent.

Whether it’s his iconic jerseys paired with those divisive spinner belts or colorful wrestling merchandise, his fits deserve a spot of their own in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Ahead of Cena’s last match, take a look back at some of his best fits as inspiration for your own last-minute tribute or if you just need to refresh your wardrobe.

Home team represent

Cena rolled up to SmackDown in 2003 in this Larry Bird Celtics jersey, throwing out an open challenge to the WWE locker room. Orlando Jordan answered the call, but Cena defeated him. Following a post-match attack, The Undertaker appeared and laid the foundation for Cena vs. Undertaker at the Vengeance pay-per-view. Name someone cooler than Y2K Cena, I dare you.

The Time is nWo

John Cena’s pretty much done everything there is to do as a professional wrestler. Or so we thought. At WrestleMania 36 he had a Firefly Funhouse match against Bray Wyatt. His entrance answered an age-old question: what if John Cena wrestled during the height of the nWo? He swapped his usual colorful corporate advertisements for an edgy all-black ensemble accompanied by the nWo spray-painted belt. Looking back, the whole concept of the match foreshadowed a heel turn before the infamous heel turn.

The champ is here

Over the years, John Cena has had several “The Champ Is Here” designs, somewhat of a signature. In my opinion, the most iconic is the spinner belt design with the retro paint font. There’s just something so nostalgic about it! I miss when wrestling merch was fun — and man, were Cena’s designs a lot of fun.

Plus, while jorts were most certainly popular in the early 2000s, they fell off in the 2010s. But with this resurgence of Gen Z feeling super nostalgic, they’re making a comeback. So I guess you could say Cena was always ahead of the curve.

Mr. Hustle, loyalty and respect

Cena’s “Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect” designs are always super popular, but there’s something about this cage-esque design that I really love. It’s most recognizable from his 2008 Royal Rumble return, the same year he won. He evolved from the Doctor of Thuganomics to a defining mantra that he lives by.

Repping the chain gang

The Chain Gang gimmick was another character in Cena’s early career. To me, it’s the perfect blend of that edgy hip-hop influenced style without coming off cheesy like Doctor of Thuganomics sometimes did. He dropped the rhymes for dog tags and his giant padlock chain. (Long before the Cenation there was the Chain Gang!) He still retained his attitude and swag, as evident in the picture above.

I may need to scour eBay and the like for this one.

word life

I mean… this is just quintessential Cena. The arm bands, the padlock, his “Word Life” catchphrase… it’s peak Y2K in the best of ways. What I love about this design in particular is that it really blends the old (a spin on the 1980s to early ’90s WWF logo) with the new: a bright young talent that would soon become one of the greatest wrestlers to step in the ring.

Shades of blue

I know there are a lot of jerseys displayed, but in total fairness he had a wickedly cool collection. I favor a baseball jersey over football, basketball or hockey so this whole fit speaks to me. It also reminds me of the look CM Punk recreated in his feud with Cena this year.

John Cena aura farming

Cena iced out in a Shaq Orlando Magic jersey with the spinner belt? Forgive me but the aura this photo holds is unmatched. I love when people actually had personal style and didn’t care to follow whatever the biggest trends are at the time. Because look what Cena was able to create here! One of the hardest fits of all time.

Cynthia Erivo is in mild black lingerie, Jonathan Bailey’s chest hair is doing its own form of acting, tween girls are giggling as if they’ve never seen exposed collarbones before, and adults (read: gay men like myself) are sitting there thinking, “This man has had a foot in his mouth on TV and this is the scene you’re clutching pearls over?” Still, the cardigan works. It keeps things PG while implying “we are absolutely not just up here to talk about Ozian politics.”

Plus, Here Are Other Cardigans You’d Actually Wear

So if you, too, would like a “please ignore how unsexy this knit technically is” sweater that still radiates “we’re about to make some questionable decisions,” here are three other cardigans to throw on before your next night of making terrible decisions with someone you like.

Buck Mason Seastack Wool Tweed Cable Cardigan

This one looks like what Fiyero would wear if he left Glinda at the altar and moved to a coastal town to “figure himself out.” It’s knit from Italian-spun merino wool with a chunky cable body, genuine horn buttons, and that nubby tweed texture. Leave it half-buttoned over a tank so there’s just enough chest showing to say, “Yes, I know what Fellow Travelers is.”

Celtic & Co Waffle Stitch Cardigan

This is a bro version of Elphaba’s cardigan if she had escaped to a windy British cliff instead of a treehouse in Oz. It’s 100% British wool in a chunky waffle stitch, with a shawl collar and round buttons that make you look like you just came in from checking the sheep… but, like, in a hot way. It’s not overtly sexy, but it has that “I’ll make you tea and wink a little” energy, which is frankly more powerful than just flexing your muscles.

J.Crew Rugged Merino Wool-Blend Cardigan Sweater

If you want a Fiyero-coded sex cardigan from a brand your dad has heard of, this is it. J.Crew blends soft, naturally breathable merino wool with durable nylon in a shawl-collar cardigan that looks like you just stepped out of a holiday movie where you are both the problem and the love interest.
