Nike Sportswear x Dizzee Rascal - Air Max 90

Mercury Music Prize winning recording artist, Dizzee Rascal collaborated with Nike Sportswear and his long-time collaborator, Ben Drury (who had designed the art work of three of Dizzee Rascal’s albums) to release a limited edition Air Max 90, called “Tongue N’ Cheek”, corresponding with the artist’s fourth album drop. Developing the design based more on literal interpretation than figurative, the shoe tongue is pink, just like the anatomical tongue; also, the “u” in the embroidery of “tongue” takes the actual shape of the tongue. The rest of the shoes are kept clean in white premium grade soft leather and high knap suede. The toe box features perforated details which are carried through to the heel wrap. Other than the embroidery, the heel tab also gets some personalized design with an embossed reflective Dizzee man heel logo.

Dropping exclusively at Nike Sportswear London, the shoes will be available on Sep 18, just days before Dizzee’s fourth album release.

Timex X JK5 X

These are the days when Jack of all-trades get the edge– if you are good at all your trades, that is. Joseph Ari Aloi, also known to most as JK5, is such a man as he is a tattoo artist, a publisher, toy-maker and artist versatile in a wide range of mediums all rolled into one single being who lives and works in Brooklyn.

For the upcoming holiday season, JK5 partnered up with Timex to release a specially designed timepiece that is to be released at Barney’s CO-OP. Based on one of Timex’s classic digital watch silhouettes known for its square and slim shape, the small octagonal face features artfully cryptic tags that read “JK5″ and “Barneys” across the top, “Illuimate” on the sides, and “Love, Light, Create” on the bottom. The functions of such as “Reset” and “Mode” are highlighted with a glyph-like type treatment. The pink and blue type contrasted nicely with the black straps to highlight the designs without being over-the-top.

Rio Ferdinand #5 Magazine

England defender Rio Ferdinand recently launched his own online digital magazine, including a variety of exclusive interviews and features on a variety of topics of which fans of all the different arts can simply browse by and have a read.

#5 Magazine is totally free too and covers areas such as sport, music, film, personality and style. The launch issue is available now and includes interviews with 50 Cent, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mickey Rourke and Duffy.

Editor-at-large Ferdinand is delighted with the product and explains: “It's my number, but it’s everyone’s magazine.

“#5 Magazine is a chance to not only get closer to the football players and myself, but the people we interview.

“You’ll also see that we talk about different subject matters and don’t follow the same rules. With 50 Cent, we wanted to find out what he thought about President Obama. It was really interesting to hear his thoughts.

“I’ve met 50 Cent a few times and we were lucky that we were able to fit the interview in around his schedule. I didn’t want to talk about his upbringing though, or the number of times he’s been shot. Instead, we asked him about politics, success and his recent film Dead Man Running.”

With further issues in the pipeline, it certainly promises to be an interesting read and Ferdinand is already lining up more varied and interesting subjects.

Enjoy the the exclusive full length video from the launch day/night.

Adidas Micropacer (Soles and Stripes)

The adidas Micropacer made news as the first running shoe to contain a ‘mini computer’ way back in 1984. Since then, the Micropacer has held its head high at the Trefoil factory, becoming one of the most popular silhouettes the brand has ever produced. This beauty, courtesy of Germany’s Schuh-You store, encapsulates the ‘Soles and Stripes’ campaign that is running in conjunction with adidas’ 60-year anniversary. Keeping the celebrations banging on, adidas have decided to sell the special striped edition at half the price – so why not buy two pairs!

Qlocktwo Wall Clock

When somebody asks you for the time, you don’t go saying “the small hand is at the 10 and the big hand is in 6″. You say “it’s half past ten” or something like that. Which is why the Qlocktwo wall clock is such a relevant and cool decor. It says the time, literally, word for word, every five minutes through 110 bright white LEDs behind a letter matrix. The square face isn’t really what a wall clock would look like and that’s the whole point of the clock, it’s more than the ordinary, everyday gadget. Several color combinations are available too in case you feel the need to match the clock to your crib’s motif. ~£800.
