Some Otha Sh*t: Frank Lloyd Wright “Kenneth Laurent” House








Righteous.
The “Kenneth Laurent” House, which was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is currently up for auction. The house was designed originally for a wheelchair bound veteran and was constructed between 1949 and 1952. At 2,500 square feet, the house features a unique ellipse form that is a motif throughout as well as three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the one-story structure, which of course would have been a beneficial affordance for a person in a wheelchair. 
The Laurent family frequented Taliesin, Wright’s personal home in spring green, Wisconsin, which eventually led to the commission of the residence’s custom interior furnishings and later addition. The furniture in the home is also going to be included in the auction of this home, which sits on 1.3 acres of land, and is expected to sell between $500,000-$700,000 USD. The auction will take place on December 15.

Kicks Flow: Nike Vintage Oregon Waffle | Size? Exclusive







YESSIR!!
It’s not uncommon for Nike to revisit their lineage with retro releases, the majority of which tend to pull from their strong run during the 80′s and 90′s. The latest from Nike Sportswear reaches back all the way to the beginning, as a reissue of their OG running shoe in the form of the Nike Vintage Oregon Waffle. 
The sneaker, so named for it’s famous outsole traction pattern that was formed by simply sliding a piece of rubber into a waffle iron, nails the vintage look with the nylon and suede mixture. Also interesting for sneaker connoisseurs is the cut of the Swoosh on these, a glance into the slightly slimmer shape of that ubiquitous logo before it became so salient in the footwear world. The Nike Vintage Oregon Waffle is available in a pack of colorways exclusively at UK retailer Size? right now.

Models & Freshness: Hurley X Life Without Andy – Tuesday With…Bryana











Hellacool.
In a field crowded with pioneers like Mark “The Corbasnake” and Terry Richardson, party photo site Life Without Andy tried to differentiate itself among the pack. A relative new comer from Down Under, the Sydney-base outfit recently enlisted surf giant Hurley’s help in its weekly editorial spread titled “Tuesday With…” 
A pictorial that doubles as a portfolio for model Bryana, the warmly lighted backdrop serves a more sensual look rather than a mere one with scandalous undertone. We honestly don’t know what the purpose of this shoot was, but it was hot, so we had to share, lol.
