Nike Air Assault Retros

I’ve always been a fan of retro shoes, especially bulky Nikes from the 80’s and 90’s (the glory years as I call it). So it’s no surprise these caught my eye when I came across it at Kix and the City. The Air Assault, an original basketball classic from back in the day will be retro’ed with the original safari print as well as a visable air pocket in the midsole that the original did not have. The release is slated for 2007, so look out for these if you’re a sneaker freak and big on 80’s/90’s nostalgia like me.

LG Concept Laptop

Check out the new LG concept laptop known as the ‘ebook’. It’s supposedly very ecological, as it uses OLED (organic light-emitting diode) for the screen rather than the traditional LCDs that laptops use. In addition, OLED screens will consume less energy and will not require a frame around them. This laptop was chosen as one of the 12 winners for the internationally renowned German industrial design award, the Red Dot Award, for its stylish design. However, not to burst your bubble but the costs of putting together such a laptop are really great, so we won’t be seeing such a product in the near future. But definately something to look forward to in the future. Info from Laptoping.com.
