KICKS: Nike's Air Max Sensation / Diemme 2015 "Tweed" Pack/ Nike WMNS Internationalist JCRD "Camo"/ Nike Air Max 90 Essential Black/Cool Grey-Anthracite-University Red/ Nike Air Odyssey LTR Green Haze/Arctic Orange

Nike's Air Max Sensation Returns for the Fall
The Nike Air Max Sensation silhouette was originally unveiled back in 1995 as Chris Webber’s first (and last) signature model, but the release wasn’t as successful as anticipated due to its relatively high price point. However the basketball shoe has been brought back for the fall season, and features a full-grain leather upper in white with contrasting black and navy details throughout. Complete with an Air Max sole unit and ample amounts of cushioning, look to purchase the OG colorway of the Air Max Sensation at select Swoosh accounts starting October. Stay tuned for more information on this release.

Diemme 2015 Fall/Winter "Tweed" Pack
Italian footwear manufacturer Diemme presents a range of reworked silhouettes just in time for the winter months. Sticking to a sleek monochromatic color palette, the brand’s Fontesi, Garda Slip-On and Veneta Low models have been done up in a cozy tweed produced by Harris Tweed Hebrides across their various uppers, which sit atop of a crisp white Serena sole. Look to purchase the winterized silhouettes at select Diemme stockists such as END.
Nike WMNS Internationalist JCRD "Camo"
The three-decades-old Internationalist is usually the subject of appropriately retro make-ups, but that certainly isn’t the case with the latest version of the old school runner: a camo-covered Internationalist JCRD. Boasting seamless woven jacquard construction, the eye-catching look comes covered in a raised polka dot pattern — so as to approximate the paneling of the original design — and comes complete with a matching Swoosh, contrasting white midsole and gum rubber outsole. Look for the kicks to soon be available for ladies and small-footers alongside a matching rendition of the Air Max 90 soon at Nike Sportswear stockists across the globe.

Nike Air Max 90 Essential Black/Cool Grey-Anthracite-University Red
As evidenced by this season’s Tech Fleece footwear, black and grey is a combo that always works. The latest illustration of that fact comes in the form of this Black/Cool Grey-Anthracite-University Red rendition of the Air Max 90. Sporting a seasonally appropriate base of marled grey mesh, the design feature black leather overlays throughout as a dash of red takes care of the tongue branding badge. Finally, additional black and grey accents hit everything from the air-cushioned midsole and lining to the leather Swoosh branding, laces and molded eyestay. The predominately two-toned look can be found now via Tokyo’s atmos before hitting additional Nike Sportswear accounts in time for the holidays.
Nike Air Odyssey LTR Green Haze/Arctic Orange
Nike goes in a decidedly painterly direction with the release of this pastel-hued Air Odyssey LTR. The suede upper melds a palette of seashell green and turquoise paneling, complemented by peachy salmon pink in the leather Swoosh, textured ankle collar and lining. An off-white midsole is balanced out meanwhile with a swab of bright orange on the heel and finished off with a deep orange rubber outsole. Get this retro-esque colorway online now from Allike for €100 EUR (approximately $111 USD).

ART BY SKIP "WE BACK!!!!!!"


RIDES: JAGUAR F-PACE / Startech Unveils New Kit for the Bentley Continental / Mansory Decks Out the Lamborghini Huracán in Carbon Fiber


Jaguar have finally debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show, their very much anticipated Jaguar F-Pace, the company´s first crossover SUV. After months of spy pictures and teaser images, the stunning Jag F-Pace SUV (based on the C-X17 Concept) is finally here. The all-wheel-drive five-seater will launch in the United States next spring, and is available in a range of engines including the 3.0 litre V6 380 PS Supercharged Petrol and Jaguar´s new 2.0 litre 4 cylinder 180PS Turbocharged Diesel Ingenium engine.

The modifications provide the automobile with some youthful vigor, as the package boasts carbon fiber trim, green accents and 22-inch wheels. In regards to the exterior carbon elements, we note a front splitter attached to the bumper, a pair of panels stretched around the side air intakes, and a rear carbon diffuser. For those looking for a more eye-catching edition of the mature classic, Startech’s kit may be the way to go. Again, the official unveil will take place this week at the Frankfurt motor show.

Mansory’s new Huracan customization, dubbed the Torofeo, will have fans feeling nostalgic over the German tuner’s Carbonado “Black Diamond” that was released earlier this year. That’s because, aesthetically, they’re both wrapped in carbon fiber from top to bottom. The Huracan’s name, Torofeo, melds the Spanish word for bull with the Super Trofeo, the motor racing series designated for the fastest Lamborghini’s around. While the vehicle strikes a grand visual appearance, what’s under the hood should cause an even more baffled reaction. Doubling the performance attributes of a standard Huracan, Mansory imbues the vehicle with two bearing-mounted turbochargers, giving it a ludicrous output of 1,232 horsepower and an electronically-limited 737 lb-ft of torque, good enough for a 0 to 100 Km/h time of 2.7 seconds. Look for the car to makes its debut at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

RIDES: The 213-ft. Galactica Star / Porsche Mission E Concept Boasts 600 hp & 15 Minute Charging Time / Lamborghini’s Huracán LP 610-4 Spyder Combines Performance and Lifestyle


the world’s largest fast displacement yacht at the time of its launch in 2013, combining low resistance with high performance and fuel efficiency throughout the full speed range.
It can hit nearly 30 knots while burning 20 percent less fuel than craft of a comparable size. Built by Heesen in the Netherlands it features massive amounts of outdoor space including a sundeck, a duplex beach club covering 25% of the main and lower decks, and a touch-and-go helipad on the foredeck. No mogul worth his salt would buy a boat without one, of course. It also comes with several World Superyacht Awards.

The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in custom-built staterooms, including a full-beam master suite with private balcony and a VIP suite on the upper deck, along with a crew of 13 to service them. It also has a swimming pool, sauna, and on-deck Jacuzzi.
The Galactica Star, which cost an estimated $70 million to build, is not on the books as a charter vessel, so some insiders speculate Jay-Z may have dropped the coin to make it his. No doubt he negotiated a good price, and by chartering it out when not in use he may even turn a profit.



The concept car combines the design of a Porsche and the forward-thinking of the first 800-volt drive system. With over 600 hp system power and over 500 km driving range, the all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering Mission E concept is capable of zero to 100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds and a charging time of around 15 minutes -thanks to the 800-volt drive system.

Doubling the voltage – compared to today’s electric vehicles that operate at 400 volts – offers multiple advantages: shorter charging times and lower weight, because lighter, smaller gage copper cables are sufficient for energy transport. A moveable body segment on the front left wing in front of the driver’s door gives access to the charging port for the innovative “Porsche Turbo Charging” system. As an alternative, the technology platform can be connected to a conventional 400-volt charging station, or it can be replenished at home in the garage via convenient inductive charging by simply parking over a coil embedded in the floor of the garage.

Lamborghini has now removed the top from its entry level Huracán, thus unveiling their new Spyder edition. The supercar, which will be officially debuted at this week’s Frankfurt Motor Show, features a 5.2-liter V10 engine that cranks out an impressive 610 horsepower. The exotic automobile also notes seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission as well as an all-wheel drive system, then topping out at 201 miles per hour. Due to an increase in weight, the Huracán runs 0 to 62mph in 3.4 seconds. While the new Spyder does indeed note added bulk, the soft top is noticeably lightweight and can be dropped in 17 seconds even while driving up to 31mph.

Lamborghini’s new Huracán Spyder is scheduled to become available next spring with a price tag of roughly $211,341 USD.
