Nike Air Force 1 Supreme “Orca”

28 03 2008

Nike Air Force 1 Supreme “Orca”

Since its recent inception into the Air Force 1, Supreme models have created a more contemporary styling for the 25+ year old sneaker. The use of a visible air bubble has often been the distinguishing factor on Nike’s more expensive and higher performing models from its more economical models. But over the years, the popularity of the AF1 has shown that the AF1s original design was popular enough to sustain such strong interest. This upcoming release from AF1 features a colorway similar to the Nike Orca Pack of Dunks released a few years back with a similar albeit flipped use of black and white. No word yet on an official release from Nike.

Bentley S3 E design concept

This is what happens when you dream up an idea that combines a vintage Bentley S3’s coachwork and chassis with a 300-horsepower BMW 4.4L V8, a ZF 5-speed auto, a custom dual exhaust, and a deluxe interior with all the modern amenities. Tweak the look to give it the feel of a late-model Bentley, add 20-inch forged wheels, slam it to the ground and you have Arturo Alonso’s Bentley S3 E design concept. Word is, Alonso and his team at Bentley Boys USA will build three of the cars over 8-month intervals to sell at $150K a pop. More photos here.

Vans Christian Hosoi Collection

24 03 2008

Vans Christian Hosoi Collection

Christian Hosoi has been an important figure in skateboarding history for the past several decades. Christian started skating at the young age of six years old and got plenty of time to perfect his skills at a young age as his father was the manager of a skatepark and by the age of 14, Christian Hosoi turned pro.

During the 1980s Christian Hosoi emerged as one of the top vert riders and developed a bit of a rivalry with Tony Hawk over supremacy in the skate world. The 1990s were not as good for Hosoi as skateboarding transformed to favoring the streets over the vert. A series of failed business ventures coupled with a warrant out for his arrest kept Hosoi from attending the first ever X Games in what was thought to be a hyped up battle between him and Tony Hawk.

After a few years in the pen in the new century, Hosoi received support from the outside with special collaborations such as a Rising Sun deck released by Shorty’s modeled after his first board he designed when he turned pro with Sims Skateboards. Hosoi, a Japanese-American, chose this as a symbol of pride of his heritage.

In 2006, Christian Hosoi founded Hosoi Skateboards and was treated to a collaboration with Vans on the Sk8-Hi that some of you may remember from a couple years ago. Hosoi and Vans have come together yet again to produce three pairs of Vans with the rising sun pattern.

Buy Scott Storch’s Yacht on eBay

23 03 2008

Buy Scott Storch’s Yacht on eBay

Whenever a celebrity tries to sell something expensive on eBay there’s always speculation as to motives, but here’s a case where it’s pretty obvious what the deal is: music producer Scott Storch is short on cash. He’s selling his yacht, called “Tiffany,” on eBay for well under its $20 million value (per Rolling Stone magazine) because apparently he can’t afford to keep it anymore. As of right now it’s going for just under $1,000,000. What a deal.

I’m no eBaying expert but I’m not sure it’s such a great sales technique to display in big bold letters “THE BOAT IS BEING SOLD UNDER DISTRESS ,OWNER BOUGHT HER AND NOW GOT SHORT ON MONEY.” Seems more than a little on the tacky side, and hardly inspires the celebrity “cool” factor that might help it sell for more.

UPDATE: Bidding has ended at $1,000,101, that’s a fair amount of cash but not enough to meet the reserve, looks like Storch is going to have to try again. A new bidding war has begun and is at 2.5 million.





Diamond iPod Auctioned Off For Charity

Diamond iPod Auctioned Off For Charity

The world’s most expensive MP3 player, Diamond iPod, was recently auctioned off at the Feast of Albion charity event in London. Handcrafted by Norweigan jeweller Thomas Heyerdahl the piece is one-of-a-kind. The ipod shuffle and accompanying earphones are bedecked in 18K white and pink gold with 430 diamonds which is estimated to be worth £20,000. With only one made and no sign of them being produced commercially the glamorous iPod is quite the exclusive item…just surprised they didn’t use the larger iPod versions. Imagine paying that much money for an MP3 player that can’t even hold more than a few of your favorite CD’s of music!

The Death Star of Dubai

23 03 2008

dubai-waterfront-city.jpg
Hopefully we’ll be developing our Proton Torpedo technology as this Death Star is being built…

In spite of its perceived cultural contradictions, the Middle Eastern of DUBAI is embracing futurism in a way currently unseen anywhere else on the planet. Following the seemingly impossible task of creating the world’s largest man-made island chain, the Palm Islands, Dubai has announced their plans to create an astonishing “WATERFRONT CITY” designed by visionary Dutch architect REM KOOLHAAS on another manmade island adjacent to the Palms. Covering a six and a half square mile area, the focal point of this sprawling new mixed-use seaside metropolis will be a perfectly spherical building bearing more than a striking resemblance to the legendary Death Star. Whether the incredible structure will be used as a weapon to destroy America with a powerful beam of energy remains to be seen, but until then we can only watch in wonder as the tiny Arab country becomes a showcase for what might eventually constitute the “Seven Wonders” of the modern world before our eyes. At least until the oil wells all run dry, that is. HAVE A LOOK:

Man Plays Burning Piano

23 03 2008

Yosuke Yamashita, a famous pianist came to the conclusion that playing a piano while its not on fire is no longer an entertaining way of passing the time. So on the 8th of March he put on a spiffy fireproof suit and played a burning piano on the beach. There he played a dazzling improvised jazz performance for ten minutes before the piano was no longer able to play. The Gods of old in Valhalla were all in tears after such an awe inspiring performance.

However, this performance was not his first. In fact he preformed a similar one in 1973, lucky for him it was made into a film, which can be seen here. Unfortunately, this isn’t the entire performance, just a sliver of it. However, his message is clear, play the best piano solo while you can, because sooner or later it will be unplayable.

Sony Ericsson Night Tennis

5 03 2008

This has gotta be the closest thing to a real life video game. This thing is tennis meets techno.

Night Tennis

Several matches in the dark with pounding background music for the sake of the players’ confusion —who kept it cool and played quite impressively—, and a fashion show from Rubén Gómez Navarro that was… let’s say… “bright”. Standing out was a gigantic screen on one side of the court that showed the score and the players’ names, in a neatly designed animated way. Sony Ericsson style if you will. When the championship finished, the court was to be the dancefloor, and Groove Armada the entertainers (Darren Emerson the previous day) with a great Video Dj performance in the mentioned screen. All in all, even if we didn’s see any single darn phone, Night Tennis is a perfect showcase of Sony Ericsson’s innovative spirit. Only one advice for those who plan to attend to the next show in Miami: non-epileptics only.

Bored of your generic store-bought shoes?

2 03 2008

When I saw Matt Francois from Sole Brother Custom Sneakers latest creations, I was instantly intrigued. He creates very inventive designs that are both beautiful and durable and look as if the shoe was manufactured that way. They are the kind of shoes that immediately attract attention.

The process of getting custom sneakers is a little more involved than a quick trip to the shoe store but the results are unique. When he designs shoes he provides customers with a computer generated mock-up for approval. Each custom design is hand done and after it is finished, they coat the shoe with a protective layer which resists water and physical damage. The shoes costs between $400 – $700 which includes the design fee, the base shoe, and free shipping. They specialize in sneakers but can customize high heels, hand bags, belts, wallets, and anything else made of leather or other similar materials.
