Adidas Originals Five-Two 3 City Artist Pack

Adidas has really stepped their collaboration status up lately, working with industry-leading retailers like Bodega and Undefeated on recent packs. Next up is the Five-Two 3 City Artist Pack, which pairs the footwear company with five artists from five major international art hotbeds.

London’s Pochoir worked on a Superstar, making the heel area appear like a worn-down brick wall. From Italy, photographer Fakso went to work on the Nizza High, dressing it in black accents on yellow tone photo. French influence is seen in the gold Flor De Lis that appear over blue nubuck on the KRSN x Stan Smith 80. Japanese-influenced New York transplant Dalek dressed a Forum Mid with his Space Monkey character and multiple shades of grey on a black leather base. The fifth and final shoe in the pack is an adidas Samba designed by MADSAKI, who is based out of Tokyo. The wildest of the bunch, MADSAKI concepted a flap over the laces, changing the original Samba silhouette drastically

PS3 Slim slathered in 24k gold

Computer-Choppers introduces their latest blinged up creation - a new PS3 Slim that is covered in 24k gold without having Midash touch it. There will only be 5 of these available worldwide, making it extremely rare to own. No idea on pricing, but if you have to ask, you won't be able to afford it anyways. We're still trying to understand the whole deal with blinged up tech that is going to get obsolete anyways.

World’s largest yacht sold to hedge fund boss

Rumors aside, the owner of the world’s largest yacht is hedge fund manager Elena Ambrosiadou. There have been all kinds of rumors about the buyer and the sale price but downforwhatever have disclosed the deal, believed to be worth $120 million. Ms. Ambrosiadou is the humble owner who prefers to call herself the “caretaker” of Mr. Perkins’ 289 foot luxurious boat fitted with the sophisticated sail system. The boat has a crew of 18 with six guest cabins, eight crew cabins, a gym and a sculpture of a vintage Bugatti racing car and on top of it a mini-submarine. The Maltese Falcon’s interior is as luxurious as you’d expect and I am sure it’s enough to call it the world’s largest and most luxurious sailing yacht, and that too with an owner.

Grace Audio Tape2USB: From Analog to Digital

Still got those nostalgic cassette tapes lying around? It’s only a matter of time before your precious tunes within them disappear forever as time and the elements aren’t really kind to that type of media. Preserve those demo recordings or bootlegged audio in digital format with the Grace Tape2USB recorder. It plays (and records) cassette tapes in the deck and with the combined Audacity recording software in your PC or Mac, rips the sound into MP3 or WAV format. Do what you want with the resulting digital files – store them in your HDD or include them in your playlist for retro listening. The Tape2USB also has a 2.5″ mono speaker if you wish to listen to your cassettes or hook them up to larger speakers via the RCA jack
