Adidas X James Bond for David Beckham

When Adidas asked David Beckham to contribute to their ObyO series he did what any true sneaker afficianado would do, called on his friend James Bond at UNDFTD. They collaborated on a reworking of the Marathon Runner Mid and the Offical High giving each a touch of cool with tassels and premium leathers. The Marathon runner is given two monochromatic colour schemes that let the laces steal the show while the Official High is all about the midsole stitches. Just like Beckham either pair can’t lose. These cool collabs that are set to release in June.

Nike Hypermax NFW Back to the Future “Marty McFly”

A few days ago, the Nike Hypermax NFW Back to the Future “Marty McFly” shoe was previewed, and now today detailed images of this new Nike Hypermax “McFly” inspired colorway have surfaced. While the Nike Hypermax typically features Flywire and Air Max, this particular shoe does not use Nike’s Flywire technology, hence the “NFW” in the shoe’s name. The shoe’s upper uses a simple Stealth colorway accented with some White, Pale Blue, and Vivid Pink.

Adidas Originals by Originals Jeremy Scott

Here are two new looks from the Adidas Originals by Originals Jeremy Scott Fall/Winter 2009 Collection, that you might not have seen so far. In terms of colors a little more subtle than the rest of the collection. Most interesting is for sure the tongue sneaker and the coach jacket.

Wiimote control

If you play a lot of Wii Sports, £20 is a small price to pay to keep the nunchuck cable from smacking you in the face, or other parts of your anatomy. And if you’re a fan of Mario Kart, then, well, blaming your loss on the tangled cord is no longer an excuse. In fact, if you’re getting smoked while using one of these, it’s probably because you just plain suck. Flawless functionality and simple setup means you’ll forget you’re using a wireless adapter. Stellar battery life keeps nunchuck going strong for up to 60 hours. Battery pack also functions as a nunchuck stand.

Flipping heck

I'm now the owner of a Flip Mino and love how portable they are. The only drawback was the lack of optical zoom. The real test will be when i'm in Miami so check back.

Mojo Honours List Awards 2009

Those of you know me know of my love for soul & RnB, but on Thursday night I was lucky enough to be invited to the Mojo Honours List Awards at The Brewery in Central London. After i'd negotiated the roads filled with traffic due to the 2 day tube strike, I took my seat & was mighty impressed with what happened next.

Making their first appearance since reuniting Britpop band Blur were honoured. The group picked up the Inspiration Award in recognition of their influence on modern British music. The band's original line-up of Graham Coxon, Damon Albarn, Alex James and Dave Rowntree were all on hand at the awards ceremony to collect the accolade. Also picking up an award was John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award. The honour, in praise for her contributions to music, is the first music prize of the 76-year-old's career. In other categories, U.S band Fleet Foxes walked away with Best Live Act but missed out on the Song Of The Year award. Instead, this went to Elbow whose anthem 'One Day Like This' was the favourite with Mojo readers. Meanwhile, the Manic Street Preachers picked up the Maverick Award and Paul Weller scooped the third Mojo of his career by winning Best Album for '22 Dreams'.

I was in the presence of some true rock legends,, for which a part of me will always remember. But the highlight of my night was meeting Chris Blackwell founder of Island Records.

Always bet on black!

I just received my newest timepiece. The TX 600 Series Pilot Watch in black has got to be one of the coolest watches around.

When I asked "how are you supposed to tell the time"? I was quickly told "that's what your mobile phone is for".

THIS IS NOT FOR TELLING THE TIME. THIS IS A FASHION WATCH LIKE NO OTHER.

Engineered to move with purpose and precision, the TX Pilot Series offers true functionality without aesthetic compromise, exhibiting complex technology through bold detailing. Combining sophisticated, highly engineered components with aeronautically inspired sport styling, the TX Pilot series provides a unique synthesis of fly back chronograph function and tachymeter scale with second time zone capability. The four-hour chronograph and the fly back feature, which uses the single push of the lower button for stopping, resetting and restarting the chronograph, ensure the elapsed time is tracked to within one fifth of a second.
