This traditional technique was produced under the supervision of Seishou Inoha, who is a licensed artisan recognized by the Japanese government.

Air Jordan XI Retro Low – “Bred”

Posted: 30 May 2012 10:00 PM PDT

Air Jordan XI Retro Low

Early this month we noted the release of an Air Jordan XI Low in White/Varsity Red, the first low-cut variation of the shoe to have patent leather in the build in over a decade. The above pic would appear to indicate the possible release of yet another Air Jordan XI Low, featuring the iconic Black/Red colorway of this year’s hotly anticipated holiday XI release. The side-by-side visual, with the low sitting next to its mid-silhouetted cousin, reveals a shoe essentially cut down to size (while the patent seems to have lost a bit of sheen). Stay tuned for any news of this sample eventually making it into production. via: Kickz-Lab

Aston Martin DB7 Conversion: DB4 GT Zagato Evocation | By EVANTA MOTOR

Posted: 30 May 2012 09:30 PM PDT

Aston Martin DB7 Conversion: DB4 GT Zagato Evocation | By EVANTA MOTOR

A quick rundown of the DB4 GT by Aston Martin and Zagato: the classic vehicle was unveiled at the 1960 London Motor Show, with Aston Martin producing 19 examples through 1963. An additional four were built in 1991, joined by two more in 2000. Regardless of its pedigree, the car regularly fetches over a million dollars when one hits the auction block. British coachbuilder Evanta Motor Company is offering a less expensive option by converting a V12 DB7 to physically resemble the iconic Zagato. The exterior shell, composed of a combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar finished in Aston Martin Solent Silver, is supported by 16-inch wire wheels. The cabin has a red leather interior, appointed with modern features like air-conditioning, airbags, remote controlled doors and heated seats. via: Autoblog
