Kicks Flow: Nike Roshe Run “Tiger Camo”



Righteous..

Just because Nike‘s slimline running sneaker has a comfortable lightweight canvas upper doesn’t mean it can’t be given a fall-friendly new design, as the latest collaboration from Nike between The Boxtrolls x Nike Roshe Run demonstrates. 

The minimalist canvas sneaker has been crafted from a green and brown-blended tiger camo print, and is this time made using ripstop nylon which is much thicker and more durable than the original fabric used on the sneakers. The pair are lined with bright orange, which is picked up on the eyelets with a lighter brown used on the laces, Swoosh, tongue and heel tabs. All of which is sat on a clean white midsole. Stop by CNCPTS where you can order your pair now.

The OG 1987 Air Max model and the 30-year-old running Internationalist sneaker have been updated with an allover black and white palm leaf design. The Air Max 1 is given a black leather surround above a clean white midsole, with a grey outsole and white Swoosh on the sides. 

The Internationalist commits even further to the design, with its upper fully crafted from the all-over print, with a black croc Swoosh and black heel counter, finished with a white midsole and black outsole. Available from size?, you can pick up the Internationalist and Air Max 1.

Architecture: Karakoy Loft by Ofist











The Karakoy Loft by Ofist is a 180-square-meter penthouse belonging to a 45-year-old bachelor in the heart of Istanbul. Natural, neutral, comfortable and practical, the residence was designed to cater to the client’s outdoor personality despite being located in the center of the hip and active old neighborhood. To provide additional natural lighting and a view to the mezzanine, the previous small window openings on the front façade were enlarged and the new folding window frames slide the width of the building to transform the living room into a balcony. 

The overall design was kept as simple as possible since its layout was designed for a single person’s use. Standout design features of the home include a storage system comprised of iron rods climbing two floors and running the length of the house, a natural stone-covered floor, a floating staircase, a continuous ceiling of Iroko wood, a beautiful fireplace, and much more.

Kicks Flow: Nike Air Max 90 “Denim”



Word..

The madness continues, folks. We’d have a little trouble trying to recap how many dope kicks dropped between this post and the last one. It’s been a very busy week or so, and that’s an understatement. We’re about to go crazy with all kinds of dopeness, so prepare yourself for a flood of freshness and things. 

Today, we take a closer look at the Air Max 90 Denim. Maintaining the classic hits of Infrared, the toe box and ankle come covered in off-white suede, while washed denim replaces the typically suede overlays and toecap. Finishing details include a snakeskin-inspired Swoosh, for one of the Beaverton behemoth’s most eclectic releases in months. You can find these on Nike.com now and shop the latest Air Max releases here.

Top Shelf: 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT






The new Mercedes-AMG GT is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Its front mid-engine design with a rear transaxle and use of intelligent aluminum lightweight construction form the basis for a highly dynamic driving experience. Its newly developed AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine underscores the hallmark of AMG driving performance. The first sports car engine from AMG with internally mounted turbochargers and dry sump lubrication is configured in two output ratings: as a GT with 456 hp and as a GT S with 503 hp. It has everything you would expect from an authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car, from the characteristic styling, thoroughbred motorsport technology, to the optimum weight distribution. Figures such as 3.7 seconds from 0-60 mph and a top speed of 193 mph, combined with the outstanding driving dynamics will undoubtedly translate into extremely fast laps on the racetrack.

At the same time, this two-seater is a comfortable and reliable companion for everyday motoring thanks to its practical deck lid, easily accessible luggage compartment, and high level of comfort on long journeys. It also features an extensive list of Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive assistance systems which ensure the high level of safety expected from Mercedes-AMG.

The Mercedes-AMG GT S is equipped as standard with an AMG performance exhaust system with fully variable exhaust vanes. This allows the driver to vary the engine sound depending on the selected DYNAMIC SELECT mode. The driver may experience the V8 with a focus on comfort and relaxed, long-distance journeys or with a more powerful, emotive, motorsport-inspired touch. The GT S comes with even more sophisticated equipment and appointments, including instrument cluster with 220 mph speedometer scale and red color highlights, performance steering wheel, black nappa leather/DINAMICA microfiber, AMG Affalterbach Crest embossed in the center armrest, and nappa leather.

The U.S. will launch first with the 2016 AMG GT S in the spring of 2015. The AMG GT will launch in the following year.

Kicks Flow: Nike Air Max 90 Premium “Black/Medium Ash/Total Crimson”


Serious..

In an era when performance kicks turn to casual kicks, we salute the generation that turned fashion upside down and made it cool to wear whatever you wanted, no matter the initial intention. I remember when people started wearing basketball kicks just to hang out in. We all know certain shoes that were meant for tennis, became summertime staples in cities across the country. And running shoes have always been one of the most favored for casual chilling. So it’s only right that we keep on with the movement and show love to yet another one of our favorites.

Following the knockout “Denim” release, Nike presents the latest edition of its Air Max 90 silhouette. Featuring an upper constructed from a premium combination of black leather and Medium Ash-colored suede, the sneaker is highlighted by Total Crimson accents throughout which provide a nice pop to the October color scheme. Incorporating the superb cushioning that made it famous, this Air Max 90 delivers comfort and timeless style with a premium look and feel. The Nike Air Max 90 Premium “Black/Medium Ash/Total Crimson” is now available at Titolo for approximately $181 USD.

Architecture: Sunset Strip Residence by McClean Design
















Righteous..

With this being one of the most popular sections of AA, we’ve decided to go with a more “quality over quantity” approach. So whichever homes we see from now on, should be the craziest properties that came across the desks here. That way, our little competition can be carried out on a higher level. It’s not easy to top the previous posts we’ve thrown up, but we definitely try to each time. The cool thing about doing this label, is we get a chance to span the globe and look for homes that would just knock you out once you see them. Each of us thinks we post the best ones, but that’s up to you guys to decide and we thank you for visiting and showing this part of the site so much love. We hope we’re doing a good job of bringing you more of what you like. 

The Sunset Strip Residence by Los Angeles-based design firm McClean Design consists of three separate entities: the house, garage and guest house. All three buildings are connected by a water feature that leads the eye to a pool and spa at both ends. The main house is approached along the water feature by means of a short stair which leads to the front hallway. Directly ahead is the living room, and to the right is the dining room which overlooks the water feature. The main living room is two stories tall and has views of the Los Angeles Basin as well as the ocean. The combined kitchen and family room has a more intimate feeling than the living room and appears to float over the water feature. This room also leads directly to the backyard, covered dining area and elevated terrace below the infinity pool.

Below the main level are two large bedroom suites each with their own outdoor area. The upper level of the house contains the master as well as two additional bedrooms. The master bedroom itself has his and her bathrooms complete with large closet areas, and the sliding panels of glass surrounding the bed and sitting area open automatically to the deck which reveals the best view of the house.

Kicks Flow: Nike Air Max Lunar90 Leather "Mahogany"







Radical..

As we all know, some kicks just never seem to play out. And 24 years later, those awesome Air Max 90’s are still one of the best shoes on the market for sneaker enthusiasts. We’ve seen them over and over again, in so many flavors and we still get enough of them. There’s no limiting these classics, and we love how they continue to reign over the sneaker game. Pay homage.

The Nike Air Max Lunar90 Leather “Mahogany” is launching now through retailers in Europe. The retro silhouette is refreshed with a tonal leather upper treated with a unique antiqued finish, as well as an equally singular Mahogany colorway. Adding to the eye-catching aesthetic is a Lunarlon midsole in Bright Crimson, delivering a shock of color while also grafting a bit of 21st century technology to a silhouette almost a quarter-century old. Contrast stitching rounds out the details. You can grab these up now through Titolo’s online store.

Kicks Flow: New Balance 574 - Stealth









Groovy..

Sometimes it’s the quiet ones that have the most to say. That looks to be the case with this new “Stealth” take on the humble New Balance 574 that are out in limited supply via KITH. Built with a street-ready heavy black mix of honeycomb-synthetic leather, tonal microfiber, and even black kevlar running along the tongue, these kicks are as tough as they come. 

Inside, the insoles reveal a custom-printed twist to the branding that join the white midsole to provide the support and only contrast you’ll see on these sneaky sneaks. You’ll have to put on your detective hat to find a pair as they moved quick from KITH shelves, but something tells us we’ll be seeing more of these again sometime soon. Don’t sleep.
