Adidas: Right Vs Left

Adidas: Left Vs Right

To celebrate and pay tribute to the iconic Superstar, adidas Originals produced a pair of giant, SUV-size exact replicas, down to the fire-hose shoe laces. Housed in separate studios, they invited friends and artists at Surface2Air (NYC) and Upper Playground (San Francisco) to celebrate their own originality by customizing these huge sneakers – the right shoe for the East Coast and the left shoe for the West Coast. For three days, the artists’ collectives went to work. Upon completion, the shoes were put on a flat bed truck and the two parties set off to meet in Venice Beach, CA. The showdown on the boardwalk drew L.A.’s finest “originals.” Surface2Air featured Gordon Hull, Daniel Jackson and Alexia Stamatiou and Upper Playground featured Sam Flores.

Quietly good design

A good article written by Alice Rawsthorn discussing very simple designs which are quite simply brilliant.

Engrave Tech

A brilliant and very creative concept. Engrave your moleskin personally with your own vector art or choose from one of the already existing designs (which are brilliant by the way). I discovered Engrave Tech while looking at cpluv (a brilliant design portal) and immediately had to share it with the rest of the office. The cost of your custom moleskins are reasonable too, so go check it out here.

Help the Bees!

A really cute and interesting site from Haagen-Daz. Help the Bees not only looks good however, it has a very serious undertone. Honey Bees are dying out at an alarming rate and people do not realise how important they are. Honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of all the foods we eat, including raspberries, strawberries and pears. This means if they go we would loose alot of food and/or massively inflated prices. Anyway, click here to find out more.

Quick-order

"Get your coffee fix, fast" iPhone/iPod Touch application that allows the users to purchase their favorite Starbucks drink without waiting in line. This application also includes QuickPay, a swipe transaction system using semacode technology. A clever idea, see the screenshots from this creative concept here.

Motorola City

Sorry for the massive gap between posts, I have been away snowboarding on holiday which was amazing and since I got back work has been manic! Anyway here is the latest piece of lovely web stuff - Motorola City. "Experience Motorola's mission critical public safety solutions. Let us show you how we can help seamlessly deliver real-time information into the hands of the people who need it most so they can focus on their mission, not the technology." A nice look at future technology and has brilliantly integrated 3d within flash with ok loading times.
