Cool Hunting
Time Out: Shelf Conscious by Josh Rubin
All hands on decks. For a true sneaker freak, shoes aren't just something to wear on one's feet. As a nod to his obsession with collectors' kicks, Josh Rubin, editor of design blog Coolhunting.com, has created pair-o-deez ($10), a sneaker-themed paring card game based on the age-old kindergarten pastime Memory. Test your recall-- not to mention your knowledge of limited edition footwear-- with the 52-card deck, which bears photos of 26 pairs of shoes (all from Rubin's personal collection). When you mismatch the Adidas Tennis Hi with the Adidas Nizza Hi, don't feel bitter-- 25 percent of the cards' sales goes to the Humane Society Disaster Relief Fund, which helps pets abandoned in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Pair-o-deez

They came up with the brilliant concept of a memory game. We even went so far as to produce both printed and on-line versions. The decks should be...
