Adding to their massive roster for 2008, the Jordan camp introduces two new colorways for their timeless Jordan 1 silhouette. Mixing it up from the more toned down releases, one of the models gets a full red upper alongside contrasting laces and army green accenting, sharing similarities to modern gucci motifs. The second pair combines a black and khaki colorway with the signature laser etching technique along the front and toe panels. Both offer a unique and distinct look gravitating the brand into a territory of fashion geared pieces rather than its roots in basketball performance sneakers. They have hit select Asia accounts including Shoe Planet Japan, with a US release rumored to be in November of this year. Via Hypebeast

Only 350 pairs of these Nike Hyperdunks have been produced, with the color of the Nike shoes that Marty McFly wears in Back to the Future II, with a glow in the dark soles. Apparently people were camping out for 24 hours to get these in Santa Mónica, so you can be sure that they will be big collector items. At least until Nike realizes there’s a whole market segment full of dumb people wanting to buy these. You know, the kind of fried-brain guys who have watched the movie a hundred times and still walk through the streets thinking “if I only had one of those floating skateboards now” at age 35.

The Roadster was developed in collaboration with Lotus, which supplied a subsequently-modified Lotus Elise chassis as the base for the new car. The design was also penned by Lotus’ design studio. Besides the chassis, the Roadster appears to share a number of key components with the Elise, such as the suspension, and many interior pieces. The car will be assembled at the Lotus factory in Hethel, England.
According to the company:
The car can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in four seconds.
It plugs into the wall and is not a hybrid.
The battery gives it a range of 250 miles.
The sports car won’t be cheap; but once the technology is established, it will lead to less-expensive cars for the ordinary driver.
Moving on from the initial Air Jordan meets Air Force 1 mash up that began with the Air Jordan V, the Air Jordan III is next up to undergo the hybrid phase. Kicking off the releases in July are some new colorways that have never before been seen on the Air Jordan III. However, come September, the AJF3 returns to its roots using OG colors one of the most popular Jordans.
