Amazon Prime Air
Amazon Prime Air –
We’re excited to share Prime Air – something the team has been working on in our next generation R&D lab. The goal of this new delivery system is to get packages into customers’ hands in 30 minutes or less using unmanned aerial vehicles. Putting Prime Air into commercial use will take some number of years as we advance technology and wait for the necessary FAA rules and regulations. This is footage from a recent test flight.

Air Jordan 11 Retro Gamma Blue
Jordan Brand is unveiling something special for the holiday season in the form of a new Air Jordan 11 Retro. The “Gamma Blue” as it is called takes the iconic Jordan model and blacks everything out including the midsole, which is usually white with this model. This sneaker darkens the plush Phylon cushioning, as well as the mesh and patent leather upper. Contrasting details are provided by the Gamma Blue seen on the Jumpman imprint and portions of the outsole, while varsity maize adds another accent on the tongue tag and heel tab. An icy blue outsole finishes out the release that will be hitting shelves at Wish soon.

Pharrell Presents the World’s First 24-Hour Music Video
Perpetually innovative and consistently creative, Pharrell Williams has recently launched the visuals for his Despicable Me 2 single “Happy” – completely stretching the capacity of the music video medium in the process. Williams channels the feeling of playing your favorite song walking down the sidewalk by recording a 24-hour sample of his life, looping the track in the background. Through menial tasks like going to the store or navigating a crowd, Skateboard P keeps thing interesting with cameos from Magic Johnson, Steve Carrell and even Odd Future, as well as some charming choreography.

Kanye West Leaves Nike, Announces Deal with adidas
Following rumors that Kanye West would be cutting ties with Nike, official news broke moments ago via the Angie Martinez Show that Mr. West would be signing on with adidas. Ye stopped by the show and opened up regarding his reasoning for the move as well as highlighting his sentiments towards making the shift. While it may seem abrupt – in light of the “Red October” commotion – the move is hardly surprising, as the artist-turned-designer recently spoke out against the fashion industry as whole including the likes of Hedi Slimane, Bernard Arnault, Francois Pinault and Nike’s CEO, Mark Parker. Speaking out on the subject, Ye stated:
“The old me, without a daughter, would have taken the Nike deal because I just love Nikes so much. But the new me, with a daughter, takes the adidas deal because I have royalties and I have to provide for my family.”

Poland’s Tobaco Hotel by EC-5
Flipping the site of a former cigarette factory, Polish design and architecture studio EC-5 has officially opened the doors to its modernized “Tobaco Hotel.” Located in the historic factory district of Poland’s third-largest city Łódź, the hotel’s motif leaves much of the industrial structure of the building visible and intact, complimented by a methodically chosen selection of ’50s and ’60s era furnishings. Vivid blue and yellow hues feature throughout, balanced by white ceilings and walls in addition to exposed brick and concrete identifying the significant transition the space has made. “Tobaco Hotel” can be counted amongst a broad number of architectural projects that EC-5 has executed in Łódź, the city in which it is based, as well as elsewhere in Poland.
