Vans California 2010 Fall/Winter Era Wingtip

The California Era sees a few more pairs of its popular wingtip model released for the summer. This drop features black, navy and dark grey colorways, with a suede upper, metal eyelets, and a red pinstripe atop a white vulcanized sole. Being that the shoes are not a vault release, they might only be available at select California Vans stockists.

Pete's Got a Vision

The other day on twitter, the homie Premium Pete got the random idea to create some new Foamposite ideas, they were brought to life via photoshop by @Dsicle. Nike needs these! They are something serious. That dude is always thinking up something crazy....

another Aston Martin thas easy on the eyes...

Elite LMV-R

Final concept images have just been released for the 2010 Aston Martin LMV/R (Le Mans Vantage Racer). Only 30 of these race cars for the street will be produced for the world. Following in the footsteps of the Ferrari Scuderia and Stradale and Lamborghini Superleggera, the Elite LMV/R is lighter than the factory Vantage due to most of the body panels being made from carbon fiber. The Scuderia, Stradale and Superleggera were built for the purists who wanted a race car for the street, a more nimble version of the production street car that they were built from. These cars aren't for everybody due to their harsher ride and loud exhaust systems. This is the company that the LMV/R will now be amongst but even more rare and special. The Superleggera's US production was 172 cars, the Ferrari Stradale seen 1,288 examples built and the Scuderia production is supposed to top out at about 1,500 cars. Compare these production numbers to the 30 LMV/R's that will be built and you can see how special and rare the LMV/R will truly be. To take a Vantage and turn it into an LMV/R, many components are used. Here is a list of what comes standard on the LMV/R:

Carbon fiber body kit consisting of: front bumper with screens, visible carbon canards, visible carbon front splitter, hood, fenders (2" wider), side skirts, side skirt panels, rear quarter panel extensions (2" wider), trunk lid with visible carbon rear wing, rear bumper with visible carbon diffuser
Matte black 20" wheels and tires for wide body kit
Lowering springs
Big Brake kit
Sport muffler with tips
Carbon fiber engine bay kit
Full Alcantara interior
Carbon fiber interior kit
Serial numbered plaque (only 30 cars will be produced)
LMV/R matte black stripes
Installation and full repaint

All LMV/R's will be assembled in Florida and sent to and from the dealership that sold the car within the US. All LMV/R's will be based on 2010 Vantage's and will be very unique. The customer will order a brand new Vantage in any color offered by Aston Martin with any options. The Vantage is then picked up and sent to Florida where the work will be performed. The exterior can be painted the factory color or a custom color at an additional charge. The interior can be assembled in any color of the customers choosing since all the surfaces will be covered in new Alcantara.

Something that Caught my eye

Not really a big fan of Air Forces 1's, but going through some sites
I stumbled upon these.New Bespoke Nike Air Force 1, a
unique color way, inspired by some good old strawberry milk.
Naw, just joking around, but this was created from Strawberry
Nesquik LOL. One of the things that pulled me in was the accent
of 3M not to much just on the check and tongue just enough to set it off.
