Fly Season: Junya Watanabe COMME Des GARÇONS MAN X Tricker’s – Suede Low Cut Shoes






YESSIR!!

When two brands are working harmoniously, it makes sense to keep the relationship going and push the boundaries. Junya Watanabe COMME des GARÇONS MAN and Tricker’s are working together again for a range of new footwear. Rather than opting for conventional shoes or boots from Tricker’s, Watanabe selected the slim silhouette sneakers. 
Brogue details provide a subtle accent on the smooth suede uppers and apart from the gray version pictured, there are also light brown and brown versions produced as well. White shoe laces mirror the hand stitched white soles and gold double brand foil print stands out against the maroon inner lining. via: by Intention

Top Shelf: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale






Good Moola..

In bringing true auto racing thrills directly to its customers, Lamborghini introduced the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale, the “most extreme Gallardo ever”, to gathered VIPs, press, and industry insiders last evening at Frankfurt. From what its engineers learned on the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, one of the fastest single-make racing venue, the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale put the new “lessons” into practical situations. 
With additional carbon fiber, the chassis weighs at only 1340 kilograms. Its V10 power plant tops out at 570 horsepower and the capability of 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. To prevent the vehicle from “lifting off” at extreme high speeds, a mammoth, manually adjustable rear spoiler takes on greater down force.
Like all Lamborghini's, the cockpit is equipped with all the necessary creature comforts and lavished with Alcantara, carbon fiber, and other decorative details. The same luxe finish is found on the exterior too, with a brand new “Rosso Mars”, a color long identified with Italian racing heritage. As with all special editions from Lamborghini, only 150 Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale will be made.

Kicks Flow: Nike MAG 2011 (McFly) | Detailed Look












Good Moola..



With an expansive list of to-do’s and to-see’s at our visit of Los Angeles, none was as important as the top item – a first look at the new Nike MAG 2011. Its chance introduction on the 1989 film, Back To The Future II., forever enshrined it onto the annal of most desirable sneakers. The movie also christened it with a nickname, the Air McFly. It was obvious then, that the production of such a high-tech footwear was extreme costly if not impossible.


Yet, fans drummed up for Nike to take the initiative. After years of countless petitions by sneakerheads, movie buffs, even tech gurus, things came to ahead some 20 years after the movie, when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted Nike a series of patents on November 5th, 2009. The document highlighted 2 innovations – a step-in automatic lacing system plus a 3-component lighting element around the heel and tongue. The ground work for Nike MAG 2011 was set.


Remarkably, the Nike MAG 2011 is identical to the movie prop developed by Tinker Hatfield all those years ago. All the details right down to the lighting components, a series of LED lights embedded in the outsole and heel panels, as well as an electroluminescent Nike logo on the oversized ankle strap. In this the first rechargeable footwear from Nike, power is not by a large battery pack, which Michael J. Fox, the actor who portrayed the film’s protagonist Marty McFly, wore in his back pack. Instead, a slim power pack built within that will last up to 5 hours for each charge. A plug-in power port is hidden underneath the cuff of the shoe, well out of sight.


One notable attribute missing though was the Automatic Lacing System. Despite the patent, current existing technology simply would not facilitate the mechanical act of tying a shoelace. At least, not within a size less than the shoes themselves. But Hatfield answered during the Q&A session with a prognosticate response, “”It’s not 2015, yet”, when asked. Perhaps that will be another Nike MAG in the near future?
