adicolor Online Winner
New York-based painter Ari Lankin, 26, designed this winning pair of adidas adicolors that features a fresh purple-and-turquoise colorway and a Hokusai design—which is not only itself a perennial CH fave, but also a striking contrast to a logo pattern paying homage to the year adicolors debuted. Judged by Cey Adams, Fafi, and Crooked Tongues, Lankin's design was voted by the public out of...

Modern Convenience Inside Skates
At the ICFF a couple years back, Modern Convenience's Naugahyde-upholstered skateboards caught our eye for the way they make a familiar object into a sculptural toy. Now this fresh lemon-lime colorway is available exclusively at Coolestshop for $525 and for another $500 you can pick up the coordinating Formula Werks custom-painted New Balance 574s. More images of the board here. Also on Cool Hunting:...

Nike Zoom Victory Spike and Precool Vest
Continuing to push the limits of sportswear innovation, the Zoom Victory Spike and Precool vest are two Nike products that impressed us when introduced at their media summit earlier this week.The Zoom Victory spike takes its design inspiration from the engineering of a suspension bridge, lending strength with minimal use of materials.

Nike 1984 Tier 0 Olympic Pack
With the Beijing Olympic Games just around the corner, it's only fitting that Nike release a pack of sneakers celebrating various Chinese Olympic Athletes from the past.

Other silhouettes in the pack include the Blazer Low, Dunk Trainer High, Vintage Nylon Cortez, Court High Force and Wildwood90 Free...

Jason Markk x Staple Sneaker Solution Set
It sounded like a good idea, but when we first heard about Jason Markk sneaker solution, we had our doubts. Even after all the rave reviews, I wondered if I couldn't get the same results with a little soap, water, a toothbrush and some hard scrubbing and skip the fancy packaging.
