This is the brainchild of a collaboration between ?uestlove of The Roots and Nike. The pair is an extension of Nike's 1World Project. The kick's design is meant to be "an exentison of [?uestlove's] personality and combines burgundy leather, red canvas, neon green elephant print, a gold swoosh and a black silhouette of ?uestlove.

Back From the Future

Nike began the "Back to the Future" design craze when they launched the Hyperdunk 2015 (above) nicknamed the "McFly." The craze continued when the original owner of the Nike Mag (middle) posted one of the shoes on eBaythat sold for $5,300. The Nike Mag was a full working prop that was inteneded to be used in the movie but the scene never materialized. The name comes from the magnetic properties the shoe was desinged to have. The complimentary Mattel Hover Board that was seen in the movie was also posted on eBay auditioning at $30,000. The board is unfunctional but is made from wood and metal and has a texturized paint job.

My Dream House

While technically this couldn't be my dream house cause I didn't design it, it's close to what I'm gonna build. It's on the beach at the top of a hill, there's a lot of natural light, glass panes for walls. It's even built in South America like I want my house.

The design comes from Chilean educated architect Architect Mathias Klotz as a vacation home with 11 daughters!

This is only a concept but if it were real it would a six cylinder from Honda. When I first saw it I thought about the bike that Bruce Wayne drives in The Dark Knight
