Top Shelf: 2013 Jaguar F-Type












Good Moola..

It is certainly out of the ordinary but after the “leaked” renderings last week, more images of the new Jaguar F-Type have surfaced, even though no information about its specification are available yet, at least officially. Closely related to the Jaguar C-X16 Concept, which made its way through the car show circuit in 2011, the 2013 Jaguar F-Type also features some of the design elements found when it was part of Ford, such as the Aston Martin-like flush mounted door handles. 

There is also a unique center console on inside, where air conditioner vents retract when not needed.  As for powerplant, the possibility ranges from a V6 to a V8, though no one is for sure till Jaguar puts out the official statement this weekend at Paris Motor Show.

Dopeness: Chappelli NuVinci





YESSIR!!

Finished in sleek black and chrome, the Chappelli NuVinci isn’t just a pretty face: it utilizes the NuVinci variable rear hub for gearing, one that essentially uses an infinite number of gears to provide a “seamlessly smooth ride.” At least that’s how the judges at the Australian International Design Awards put it, bestowing Chappelli with top honors in the sport and leisure category. 

According to Chappelli, changing gears on the innovative build “is as simple as tuning a radio” — one simply adjusts the grip shifter to match the gradient of the road. Additional details include leather grips with integrated red lights at the bar-ends, plus a chromoly lugged steel frameset with custom Chappelli cranks. The wheels, meanwhile, are chromed out deep Vs matching the silver lugs and component setup. Chappelli is producing a limited run of its award-winning bike, scheduled for delivery in November and available to riders in Australia and New Zealand.

Kicks Flow: Nike Air 1 Mid Premium





Serious..

This fall season will see the re-release of the iconic Nike Air Trainer 1 in the classic “Chlorophyll” colorway, which has already undergone a number of reissues throughout the 2000s. Regardless, retro fanatics will no doubt welcome another opportunity to pick up a crisp pair of this landmark cross trainer from the Nike archive. 

This latest version stays true to the original in terms of construction and color, though a “Premium” designation appended to the name translates to quality materials and a probable hike in the price point. The kicks are arriving now at retailers in Asia, including atmos, with a U.S. release date hopefully surfacing soon.

Get On Down has packaged 1000 limited edition box sets, complete with a 36-page hard cover booklet, promotional poster, promotional sticker, and of course the actual Purple Tape. This box set is definitely a must have for Raekwon fans. Jump onto Get On Down online shop as these will not last long.
