The ability to customize and personalize just about anything is growing daily. If you happen to be in London, stop by Nike Town and you will now be able to customize your own kit. Not only can you customize your own, but you can do one for your teammates as well. Pair this with a pair of customized kicks from Nike ID, your own mixtape from Muxtape and you will be close to fully customized…

Steve Nash + Spurs = ?

Steve Nash

It’s no secret that Steve Nash loves soccer. It’s also no secret that we at The Original Winger are huge fans of the Phoenix Suns point guard. After watching Steve and new Sun Shaq beat the Celtics last night, I came across this story of how Nash is looking to get involved with Tottenham Hotspurs at some point in his life.  Nash is a lifelong Spurs fan who talks about his dream of being involved with the club, but that he wouldn’t do it to make money. From everything I have read and heard about Nash, I actually believe the kid on this. I think Steve Nash might end up being one of the biggest American ambassadors that soccer has. If you read this Steve, give us a shout!

Hot Chip

Filed under: London, Music, Videos

So this is now back to back posts with music videos. I usually wouldn’t do that to you, but whatever, it’s Saturday and it’s raining outside.

Anywhoo, these cats are Hot Chip, they are from London and you need to know about them. They just released their latest album titled Made in the Dark, which allegedly they made in the dark. Not sure how true it is, but it makes for a good story.

Fiat 500

What do you do when you are re-launching a classic car and you want to make a big splash?  How about place the car  in a pod and put it atop the London Eye and leave it there for 2 weeks.  How’s that sound?  Well that’s what Fiat did last night to celebrate the relaunch of the car that was introduced 50 years ago.  To cap it all of, the car was unveiled exactly 500 hours into th new year and a party was had in its honor that brought all the celebs out in London.  The Fiat 500 is already winning big awards, and Fiat is hoping they have as much success with this relaunch as VW did with the Beetle and BMW with the Mini.  I just wish I could have seen them putting the car in that pod.
