In a recent New York auction, a 1990 Lamborghini LM/American sold for $467,000 USD. Dubbed the “Rambo Lambo”, the LM002 model is one of 301 produced between 1986 and 1993 — of these, only 48 were built to the actual LM/A specifications making it a true collectible. The ‘”Rambo Lambo” is the first SUV ever created by Lamborghini based on an abandoned U.S. military prototype named Cheetah. At the time of conception, the MSRP was nearly $300,000 USD — that’s twice the price of the upcoming 2019 URUS, another Lambo SUV.
The exotic car boasts a 76-gallon fuel tank, Pirelli Scorpion tires, a very rare rear cargo box, tonneau cover, LM/A floor mats and chrome bumpers. The 4×4 has received an extensive five-year restoration effort valued at $325,000 USD. This included the application of a new exhaust and a modernized interior fitted with an Alpine stereo head unit and integrated Bluetooth. Despite being over 27 years old, the odometer reads only 19,153 miles. Moreover, the owner received a photographic documentation of the restoration effort and two OEM ECU computer units.
RM Sotheby‘s notes the LM002 is popular with Middle Eastern royalty and celebrities. It was produced “thanks to a new generation of millionaires and billionaires seeking the ever-greater toy.” If you want to make a comparison watch this video of the new Lamborghini Urus in action.
Alessandro Michele‘s Gucci frequently embraces over-the-top styling, but this 20-year-old pair of handcuffs may be the most ostentatious item ever released by the house.
Originally produced in Italy in 1998, the solid silver handcuffs were designed by Tom Ford. They were reportedly displayed in Gucci store windows around the time that Patrizia Gucci was jailed for hiring a hitman to kill her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci. Crafted from solid silver, the handcuffs weigh in at approximately 277 grams, or about a half-pound. The package includes the original dustbag and a modern Gucci case, but those worried about the lack of key to unlock the cuffs, fear not — a button on the rear of each cuff unlocks the closure.
Yours for $65,000 USD, check out the set on Grailed. Meanwhile, Italian police recently raided Gucci’s Milan headquarters.

Hot on the heels of his Black Friday release, Dominic Chambrone, better known as The Shoe Surgeon, is back with another top-quality mashup — the Air Jordan 1 “Shattered Python.”
The latest silhouette to come out of Chambrone’s lab is inspired by two popular AJ1s. The “Shattered Backboard” lends the new mashup its orange-white color scheme while the design pays tribute to the coveted Off-White™ x Air Jordan 1. A snakeskin texture is found across the entire upper and a shock-green set of laces gives the kick a venomous pop. A white midsole with “Python” emblazoned on the heel, in Abloh-inspired style, rounds out the look. You can check out this reptilian Air Jordan creation in the gallery above and even pick up a pair of the custom kicks, for $3,500 USD at the Surgeon’s website.
