LaCie USB Keys

Filed under: Cool Ish, Design, Technology

lacie-usb-keys

It’s not always easy to make the basic items look good. But LaCie killed it on these USB keys. As you can see, the keys come in three styles and range in price from $9.99 to $27.99. If you have to carry around a flash drive, you might as well look good carrying it.

Alexander McQueen x Puma

Filed under: Collabo, Design, Kicks, Puma

Rizzle and I were catching up on things when he dropped these new kicks he just picked up. Alexander McQueen x Puma hi tops, that his girl Sheila from Puma Canada laced him with. The kicks are hot, the packaging was fresh, and the concept works. I am a huge fan when fashion and sport can come together, but making this work is never as straight forward and easy as it seems. This collaboration certainly seems to be getting it right.

The new England Kit

Filed under: Design, English National Team, Umbro

england-kit

We already showed you a sneak peak (see above pic) and said that this is looking like the new English national team jersey. I’m not 100% sure that this is is the final product (at least I hope it’s not). Anyway, head here for a short interview with Umbro’s VP of football where he talks about the new jersey and about how they involved Capello in the process and made sure he co-signed the jersey before finalizing the design.

Thanks for the link Tim

Art by Crayon

Filed under: Art, Cool Ish, Design

crayon-art-main

Christian Faur creates these art pieces by using thousands of his own crayons. That might sound a little unusual, but the outcome is pretty amazing. Reminds me a little bit of Lite Brite that I would mess with as a kid. This will be the only time I ever mention Christian Faur and my own childhood Lite Brite creations in the same post.

The Heel Pass

I’m enjoying seeing videos like these that explain the process of how and why designers go about what they do. Props to Nike for showing this side of the process.

I might be a tad late on this, but I was just reading that the Nike Zoom Kobe IV’s have a pretty serious soccer influence. Check out this video where Kobe talks about the sneaker, how soccer played a part in the design and about how he is a “soccer buff.”
