Cool Hunting
It's hard not to see an advert for Nike's relaunched iD customization service. They're really blowing out the promotion, and with good reason-- the new version of the site is fast, simple, elegant and fun (rock on RGA!). Then, of course, is the fact that you can customize your shoes to fit your specific taste.
Among the more intriguing promotions they're running are the by-appointment-only store in NYC and this blogger contest. Basically, they asked 20 sneaker bloggers to choose a model and designate the colorway. Voting has begun and the winner will get 100 pairs of their design, ideally to share with their readers.
Why am I not included, you may ask? I wonder the same thing. I was invited to, then the invitation was mysteriously rescinded.

Designed for the rigors of training and preparing for competition, the new Nike Trainer 1 (above right) is the lightest cross-trainer I've tried. Inspired by world-class athletes like Bo Jackson, who played both Football and Baseball at an All-Star level, the Nike Trainer 1 is...
One of the most well-respected pro skaters in the biz, Stefan Janoski finally got his own long-overdue shoe with Nike SB. In keeping with his relaxed, nonchalant skate style, the Zoom Janoski is a clean, comfortable and functional shoe. Nike's second signature model, it's a marked departure from their first—a Paul Rodriguez shoe which is more beefy and athletic-looking, again following P-Rod's skate style....
