(14 July 2008) - We're wishing we had Turkish designer Hakan Bogazpinar's design solution for aerial photography for the height of summertime madness.

12 Bikes for Girls
(20 May 2008) - by Sara Huston While men can get away with the "fixed-gear as accessory" look, sometimes a lady wants to look like a lady when riding a bike. Fortunately, stylish options meeting the particular needs of women prevail these days. We've gathered up a few of the best and chicest here.

(13 May 2008) - Eighty-eight days before the opening ceremony of the Olympics XXIV (on 8 August 2008) Nike filled a warehouse space in Beijing's up and coming 798 Arts District with their 100 most innovative accomplishments and I was fortunate enough to be one of the first to see it.

Idiom 2009
(02 May 2008) - Here's an early look at what's to come from one of our favorite snow wear brands Idiom. As we've come to expect from Burton's high end label, it seems as though designers Jeff Staple and Hiroshi Fujiwara have kept the 2009 line simple, attractive and technical, just the way we like it. Following suit with Burton's plans to become more environmentally responsible, going green...

Five Ski Sets
(07 March 2008) - We've had a pretty good snow season this year out on the East Coast compared to recent seasons. With the Winter winding down now, I've had a few good months to research, check out and ponder my next ski set as I'm not so sure how much more my current decks can handle. There was a lot of new equipment released this year but...

Porsche Design Studio for Fearless Yachts
(27 February 2008) - Fearless Yachts of Miami Beach offer some of the sleekest, most attractive watercraft we've seen in quite some time. It's probably no accident that these speedboats—Models 28 and 68 we find most appealing—are something a worthy of Sonny Crocket or a James Bond supervillain. Designed by Porsche Design Studios, each vessel is built for speed and control and worthy of the moniker yacht (which...

Nike 1984 Tier 0 Olympic Pack
(22 February 2008) - 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.

Three New Stadiums
(28 January 2008) - In the era of starchitecture, few projects pose more of a challenge to renowned architects than the scale and complexity of a city's crown jewel, the stadium.

Nike+ Supersonic
(10 October 2007) - We've always respected the way Nike maintains sport culture as one of their core values and their upcoming Supersonic race puts those values at the forefront of their marketing efforts by throwing a party requiring at least some athleticism to enter.

Urban Croquet
(05 October 2007) - One of the last Anglo pastimes to be mined for its kitschy irony, croquet is getting a makeover for playing in cemented environments.

Hawley F140 Racing Yacht
(12 September 2007) - The Hawley F140 Racing Yacht looks like a cross between a dolphin and stingray. With a smooth finish and rounded corners, it looks like it might easily roll over taking its crew with it. However, a hydraulically tilting keel acts as a counterbalance when cutting around corners. Taking inspiration from high-performance sports cars, it is built for flat-water speed and will easily go 20...

Blackminton
(14 May 2007) - Looking like Tron picked up a racket, Blackminton is a faster, nighttime version of badminton where players covered in fluorescent paint hit a glow–in–the dark shuttlecock on black–lit courts. The sport is a spin–off of Speedminton©, which combines elements of tennis, badminton and squash, and was created in Berlin in 2002 to combat the stuffy image the original, slower game had. Now they've upped...
