ESPN recently caught up with Nate Robinson to capture his incredible Jordan collection on film. His collection runs the range from the Air Jordan 1′s to XX3′s but from what I can see. He’s a big fan of the 2s, 5s, 6s and 11s. The collection pictured represents the shoes that Robinson keeps at the United Center for game day. Click through to have a look at the shoes, some which have already been worn on game day.

Ronnie Fieg x Puma Disc Blaze OG Cove

I want these kicks so bad. They dropped November last year and are super rear. One of the best sneaks I’ve seen around.

A collaboration eighteen months in the making, Puma teamed up Ronnie Fieg for a truly distinct design like no other for the legendary Disc Blaze. Fieg and the Puma crew went beyond colors swatches and materials and altered the shoe’s original construction, opting for a standard toe-box instead of the asymmetrical construction on the original and adding a strip of leather foxing to the upper quarter panel. Additional details include the reflective Puma logo and tongue stripe and the store’s ‘Just Us’ slogan on the heel of the left shoe.

Everything I do in the field of digital and concept art. I am still an amateur, because I need some time to focus on specific things to get better. I will add more paintings over time, as I do more and more personal work.

For a while now, about a year and a half, I’ve been active in the field of concept art and digital painting. I’ve been improving with a steady tempo, more and more with every new bit of work. I will share anything I can, since a lot of my stuff is not personal.

Monaco World’s Most Expensive Penthouse

monaco-penthouse-2-1-762x428 private-pool-1-762x428 monaco-penthouse-5-1-762x428 monaco-penthouse-6-1-762x428 monaco-penthouse-7-1-762x428 private-lobby-1-762x428 monaco-penthouse-3-1-762x428

Renowned for its casinos and yacht-filled marinas, Monaco has become a magnet for the richest and most discerning property tycoons in the world. Soaring to a height of 170m (557ft), the Odeon Tower will be the Mediterranean coastline’s second tallest building. The twin towers will contain 70 luxury apartments with between one and six bedrooms. Also available will be two sky duplexes and a 1,200sq m penthouse. Topping out the block will be a spectacular 3,300 sq metre multi-story penthouse complete with private water slide and exclusive infinity pool. One estimate for the value of this apartment suggests it could fetch as much as £256m when it is released onto the market in 2014. Each apartment will boast floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces with panoramic views of Monaco, Larvotto beach and the Ligurian Sea. The block will have Russian and Turkish saunas, several swimming pools, private spas, a full-time concierge, private chauffeured limousines and a cinema. Housekeeping, dry cleaning and valet services will all be organised by residents from touchscreen controls in each apartment. As well as being within easy reach of the Italian Riviera, occupants can take advantage of annual local events such as Monaco’s  Grand Prix and Jazz Festival. Excavation and demolition work began on the towers in 2009. Structural work is expected to be finished by July 2013 before work can begin on the facade. The entire project is expected to be completed by July 2014. The venture was the dream of architect Alexander Giraldi, a master of “belle epoque” design, which is inspired by the atmosphere of early 20th century Paris. The belle epoque (beautiful era) was a period between 1871 and 1914 which was characterised by optimism and peace in Europe, and scientific discoveries. Responsibility for the apartment interiors has been given to the Alberto Pinto agency, whose previous clients include Saudi Arabian royalty and American captains of industry. The grounds will be designed by prominent landscape architect Jean Mus.

Daft Punk’s collaboration with the Saint Laurent Music Project started in October 2012 when they were commissioned to create the soundtrack for the inaugural Saint Laurent fashion show.

Wearing stage gear first seen last night at Coachella (where they also dropped a teaser for their new Pharrell track “Get Lucky”) Daft Punk’s glow-in-the-dark space suits of Alive 2007 have been replaced with black, glittery jackets designed by Hedi Slimane.
