Plastc Card

The world is slowly transforming into a totally digital age...even for your debit cards.  Plastc Card has the ability to digitally load all of your debit/credit cards onto one interface.  Forget the days of carrying a packed wallet because of too many cards...this device will solve all of that.

The only downfall I see at first glance is the battery life.  What happens when you're out and it dies on you?  Could be frustrating.  What do you think?

Swich Wireless Charger

Innovation meets timeless, elegant design.  The Swich Wireless Charger, acronym for Smartphone Wireless Charger, is pure beauty!  Made of ceramic, American Walnut, and micro-suction acrylic foam, this device is a great add to your desk for looks and functionality.  The charger stands on it's own and swivels 180 degrees for vertical or horizontal layouts for either your smartphone or tablet devices.

This design is so beautiful to me.  They are currently on Kickstarter and has surpassed their goal, but if you want one, I'd suggest you go pitch in!  Check out the link below.

NIKE's World Cup Run

Of course the World Cup craze has begun recently and it's the talk of the town.  Nike in my opinion has been on fire with their World Cup soccer editions.  I've been so inspired by looking at their gorgeous silhouettes and use of their flyknit material.  These all look beautiful!  I tip my hat off to their design team for these.  Go Google Nike Mercurial Superfly IV, Nike WMNS Free 1.0 Cross Bionic, and Free Mercurial Superfly HTM.

Q.DESIGNS Transcends Categorization

Nike Kobe 9 Elite

And here it is.  The anticipated Kobe 9 Elite.  This boxing...oops, I mean basketball shoe is Kobe's next signature sneaker.  Designed by the infamous Eric Avar, the design features three of Nike's top technologies: Flywire, Flyknit, and Lunarlon.  

I have to say, this shoe is not my favorite design by Eric Avar.  This has to grow on me.  I'm looking forward to seeing more colorways of it because this "Masterpiece" colorway, as Nike calls it, is a bit much.  One cool element are the red stitch lines in the rear representing Kobe's sutures of his achilles surgery.  Other than that, I'm not truly impressed by the design.

There's one thing about this design that is guaranteed.  You will either hate and love it!  What are your thoughts??  Click the link below to view more photos and read more about the story behind the design via SneakerNews.

Cubby Golden

I had the pleasure to meet and speak with Cubby briefly while attending PENSOLE.  If you haven't heard of Cubby Golden, he's a former running designer for Nike.  His biggest design was the Nike LunarGlide 2 while there.  I just read his inspiring story about being a footwear designer and what it takes to be successful.  Any young, aspiring designers out there you WANT to tune in and listen to every word he's speaking.  Click the link below to read up!

Swing Toothpaste

Centrifugal force to help you get the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.  Makes sense?  I think so.  The design was created by Sungmin Hong, Yubin Choi, Yun Kim, Mi Jang and Seokgyu Hwang of Dankook University.  Would you buy this if it was on store shelves?

Funfere Koroye

My guy Daniel Bailey (Mr. Bailey) just did an interview with one of my long time friends and colleagues Funfere Koroye.  Please take note people!  Because Funfere is one of those types of individuals that is out to change the world through his design philosophies, as am I.  Truly inspiring interview.  Click the link below to read up on it.  I'm super proud of this gentlemen because I've seen the progression and passion since the first day I met him.  Keep doing you Fun.

Nissan's Smartwatch

Nissan is now a part of the next revolutionary device...the smartwatch.  This is the first watch to connect driver and car together.  The watch allows you to check the vehicle's efficiency, average speed,  fuel consumption, vehicle telematics and other performance data.  This watch would only work with Nismo edition vehicles though.  All in all, this is pretty cool.  What do you think?

Li-Ning Way of Wade 2 Design Direction

FIRE!  That's what I have to say about Li-Ning's design direction of D'Wayne Wades new signature shoe.  The name of this unique print is called Dazzle Camo.  It comes from World War 1 when ships used to paint the body of their ships to stand out instead of blending in.  The camo had the ability of tricking the rival ships of it's direction or speed.  This is similar to Wade's play in a NBA game.  You're not sure if he's going to pull up for the jumper, run pass you for a dunk, or dish the rock off to a teammate...deceptive!  Cool story behind the shoe...just can't wait to see it now!

Newton Action/Reaction Technology

Sneaker Report has a great thing going with their KNOW YOUR TECH articles they post via their website.  Want to get up on brand's technologies and how they actually work?  This is the place for you to be.  Newton's Action/Reaction running has been described as being somewhat of a "trampoline" system where it expels the stored energy for forward propulsion.  Click the link below to read more about how the technology actually works.
