The Zoom Quilt
by Josh Spear
There isn't much you can say about this collaborative art project called "The Zoom Quilt", you just need to see it for yourself. Take a look, and you'll be impressed, and you'll understand why it's so hard to describe. The project allows you to zoom in and out of what seems to be an infinite world, presumably graphics all done by different individual artists. The flash work is pretty impressive and it says it was all done by Paul Hinze.
The Final 35
by Josh Rubin
Last Friday night in each of their respective time zones, the 5 main Adidas Originals stores hosted intimate gatherings for each of the 35 local golden ticket holders. This was the moment they would find out which 7 won a pair of the Superstar 35th Anniversary Series Mystery pair number 35. I know, the numbers and their derivatives are a bit confusing.
The way it worked, each of the finalists had a code on their Golden Ticket that they had to dial in to the combination lock on each case. If your case opened, you won.
It was reported that a pair in Hong Kong was on eBay almost immediately, only to be removed when bidding exceeded $4000. We also heard that one of the winners in London shed tears of joy. Here in NYC, Al B (above) was the first winner, unlocking the first case he tried.
A New Look for Spring
by Josh Rubin
If you're a regular reader of Cool Hunting, you've probably noticed things look a little bit different here today. It was time for a little refresh. I also wanted to simplify the name and URL, so you'll notice it's now just Cool Hunting and coolhunting.com instead of Josh Rubin: Cool Hunting and joshrubin.com/coolhunting. But don't worry, the content is all the same, I'm still editing and contributing, and my excellent team of writers isn't going anywhere either.
For more background on the redesign, read on.
