Nike Vapor Laser Talon: Football’s First 3-D Printed Shoes

Wish I was good enough at football to play with these beauties. 

Weighing only 5.6 ounces these are needless to say extremely light. 

In terms of the manufacturing and design process apparently their 3-D 

printing and laser (SLS) sintering methods are ideal for the creative/iterative 

process as you can test a boot within hours instead of months.

This Full-Sized Urban Bike Weighs A Mere 11 Pounds

It’s called the BlackBraid--what I imagine to be some long lost pirate, or maybe a pirate ship, or maybe a pirate ship named after its pirate captain. But it’s no treacherous, sea-oriented thing. The BlackBraid is actually a carbon-fiber bike designed for urban travel. And it weighs a mere 11 pounds, making it one of the lightest bikes on the planet. (fastcodesign.com)

Nike Flyknit Lunar1+

Haven't had the chance to pick up a pair of Flyknits but the colorways are gorgeous.

The Nike Flyknit Lunar1+ features an innovative upper, constructed entirely of tightly woven polyester yarn that varies in density: more open in targeted areas that need greater flexibility or ventilation and tighter in areas that demand support.   (Nike.com - Running)

Federer and Nadal Commercial Outtake

Hilarious commercial by Federer and Nadal. Too funny.

Reebok 8K Skate

Picked up a pair of Reebok 8K hockey skates. Was really due for some new skates and wanted to invest in a good pair, something I'll keep for 5+ years. I got these for $250 (at Pro Hockey Life on clearance). There are only slight new features for this years 2012/13 version compared to the 8K 2010 model.

These fit amazing out of the box for me. I have pretty wide skated with EE (widest size available) and the heat moulding was even better. The pumps are just darn cool and offer some extra comfort/stiffness in the ankle. I do have some discomfort in the left foot on the side of my toe area. I had these heat formed twice to try to widen the boot more. Its more comfortable now but I get some pain here and there. Overall pretty happy with these skates.

Blackberry 10 Commerical Ad

A good video showing new features which BB10 is boasting.
Much better than their past campaigns, now focusing on the working business man/women while being hip and cool.

"Keep moving."



Blackberry collaboration project with Alicia Keys, Neil Gaiman and Robert Rodriguez.
To jump start the next generation...keep moving projects.

Kinda cool...documenting the design process in a way. Less cheesy than Windows phone ads anyway ;)

Nike Zoom Ites Snowboard Boots

    Customize flex in three ways.  
    Working with 'the Nike Innovation Kitchen' some sick looking boots.

    













The Zoom Ites boot is straight from the mind of Gigi Rüf. He wished for certain days or conditions he could  have a softer or stiffer boot, but even better would be a boot he could customize for any day or condition he may face.  Nike.com - Snowboarding
