Yakkay Bicycle Helmets
(14 August 2008) - Unless you're going for the whole ironic dork look, any cyclist knows that it's impossible to look good wearing a bike helmet. The awkward, bulkiness that makes you look like a doofus is the same thing that protects your head. Yakkay, a Danish company, is trying to disprove conventional wisdom with a new approach to helmet design — one that values safety and style...

Dr. Martens Monkey Boot
(11 August 2008) - Peeking into what's next from Dr. Martens as they continue to revamp themselves for today's market, we found a couple of good options for Fall and Winter. New monochromes and a neon series are a very "now" treatment of their iconic heavy-soled boots, but we also like the more traditional look of their Monkey Boot. First released back in the late '60s as a...

Hysek Colosso Watch
(05 August 2008) - Perhaps the next James Bond villain with plans to dominate the planet can use this newly announced Hysek "Colosso" to time his greedy destruction. The most obvious tool is the crystal pustule filled with a dimensional earth that rotates to tell local or GMT time but the massive size suits evil of any stature. And of course, the French watchmaker has appropriately priced it...

Vintage Leather Jacket Chucks
(31 July 2008) - Converse's latest drop to celebrate their 100th is a lesson in how to make a good thing better. Made out of vintage leather jackets, the leather has that greasy worn-in feel and plenty of unique details.

Generic Man Fall 08
(29 July 2008) - Here's a little peek of what's to come from The Generic Man this fall courtesy of Arktip. The upcoming line looks as if it's made from recycled clothing—most likely Boy Scout or military clothing.

Le Corbusier Le Grand
(22 July 2008) - Reviewing Phaidon's latest tome, Le Corbusier Le Grand, is like being asked to review the Constitution. How do you take in something so all-encompassing, so sweeping in just a few sittings? And then, what do you say about it? Um, it's good? First of all, it's fitting that a book devoted to the grandfather of modern architecture should weigh in at a jaw-dropping twenty...
