Range Rover – Evoque RS250 Concept | By Project Kahn

Posted: 04 May 2012 03:00 AM PDT

Range Rover   Evoque RS250 Concept | By Project KahnIf there is one thing to note from great designers is that they never over design. As easy as it may sound, it is not hard to practice in reality. When it comes to redesigning automobiles, British design office Project Kahn certainly delivers the goods. Many may speculate on the already excellent base, yet we have all seen bad designers ruin something that was more or less perfect. Project Kahn is tackling the latest Range Rover Evoque, calling it RS250. Here we see the sketch to visualize the concepts of the designers, showing subtle additions such as LED driving lights in the aggressive front bumper, revised body kits, twin tail pipes, and diffusers. The key to this revamp is their signature two-tone body, featuring red hood and rooftop popping out against the silver body. Suspension will be improved as well, along with 22 inch wheels replacing the stock rims. via: Carscoop

D*Face x 14 Bike Co. x ESB – Utility Bicycle

Posted: 03 May 2012 11:00 PM PDT

D*Face x 14 Bike Co. x ESB   Utility Bicycle

The thirtysomething British street artist Dean Stockton — better known to his followers as D*Face — holds a special place in his heart for two-wheeled vehicles, “preferably motorized, preferably in need of love.” No, this specially made ESB utility bicycle meets neither of those criteria, but D*Face helped design this self-propelled two-wheeled vehicle himself, collaborating with Ted James, who hand-built the frame, and 14 Bike Co., who added gear hubs, brakes and a “hit list of parts.” One matte black paint job later — to match the black saddle, handlebar grips and crank — and the result is a throwback bicycle that’s utilitarian and sinister in equal measure. via: D*Face

Nike SB Dunk Low Premium Quickstrike – “Non-Entourage” | Available Soon

Posted: 03 May 2012 10:30 PM PDT

Nike SB Dunk Low Premium Quickstrike   Non Entourage | Available Soon

It has a plot line more like TV drama than a TV comedy. But finally, the on and off saga of Nike SB Dunk Low “Entourage” might be at its end soon. When Entourage, the popular HBO series, came to a close last year, a special Nike SB Dunk Low “Entourage” was made for friends, family, and crew who worked on the show. Though meant as a parting gift for a few, a persisting rumor stipulated that the edition would become a general release from Nike Skateboarding in the near future. Apparently, that “near future” is now as a long pair surfaces recently in Australia.

On appearance, it is nearly identical to the Nike SB Dunk Low “Entourage,” sans the “Entourage” label on the tongue tag and sock-liner. The heel “Nike” logo is now in gold instead of white and designers swapped out the black outsole with a gum rubber one. While more readily available now, its still a “quickstrike” edition with only 2,500 pairs made, all supposed to arrive at select Nike Skateboarding retail doors sometime this month. In the meantime, there is no official designation for the new edition yet, so our friends at Sneaker News took the liberty to call it “Nontourage” while we went with “Non-Entourage” instead. See the differences between the two versions after the jump… via: N-SB

Nike SB Dunk Low “Nontourage”
Style: 504750-040
Color: Black/Black-White-Gum Medium-Brown

Makia Clothing x etnies   Footwear Collaboration

Helsinki-based fashion label Makia has partnered with etnies on a footwear collection comprising two distinct styles: the outdoor boot-inspired Waysayer and the low-profile Jameson 2 in two colorways. The kicks are finished in a black and white color palette, calling back to old photos and bleak Nordic winters, and equipped to keep the wearer warm and dry in the skatepark even in the harshest weather conditions. The Waysayer has a black leather upper with D-ring lacing, while the Jameson 2 features all suede construction in either a tonal black colorway or two-toned black and white style, each carrying an attractive houndstooth lining. Look for the collection to land at select retailers in June.
