today and tomorrow

A few weeks ago, Nike launched the Jordan XX3, the last signature Micheal Jordan sneaker ever (ok we’ll see about that). Ofcourse they made a website to go along with it: XX3. Blast Radius did an excellent job there!
You arrive in some sort of hall from where you can enter 4 diffentent rooms. And when I say rooms, I mean 3D rooms where you can ‘walk’ around thanks to a nice interface. For those of you who don’t like this kind of explorative browsing, there’s a nice and clean alternative navigation at top of the page.
I think this is one of the best implementations of 3D Flash I’ve seen since a long time. It looks like Papervision3D, an open source 3D flash engine, is getting some real momentum here.
And as a bonus: the Nike M4 website, a few months old but definitely worth checking out too.

Nike launched its Tech Pack last weekend. It’s a collection based on innovative performance materials, diverse fabrication and design techniques. And it must say that most of the stuff looks great. So it’s a real let down that the website isn’t on par with the apparel. Some thumbnails don’t load, the videos stutter … hello buffertime … and why o why is it Flash 9?
Boo Nike!

Nike Women has this little feature on their website: ‘Gone Running‘. It’s basically a clock that you can hang up, to let others know when you’ll be back from running. On the website you can drag the clock and see a tag line for every 15 minutes. The best one: ‘9:45 PM - The internet will be here when you get back. Promise’.
You can also get one in your snail mail … but I haven’t figured out how.

François Curlet made these 3 Djellabas; a Nike one, an adidas one and a Fila one.

It’s been a while since I was excited about some new Nike Air Force 1 releases … ok, I’m still waiting for these Supreme Berlin ones. But these Supreme Canvas ones, damn hot! This picture doesn’t really do them any justice, the detailed ones at the Nike1Love blog do.

I’ve received some interesting comments lately. Apparently someone found out about my sneaker addiction and decided to help me out with this great offer.

Isn’t that great … right. Until I saw these brand logos on their website.

Mmmh … Guggi.

No, this isn’t related to Harry fucking Potter, it’s Turbo doing some breaking to Kraftwerks ‘Tour de France’. Hell yeah, 2 news items combined in one!

Something tells me that I should get this t-shirt. Does anybody know where I could buy one?

Apparently Nike doesn’t care anymore about its logo … Ever logo on the tongues in the collection on Nike Vintage Running, is mirrored. Spotted by an eagle eye on the Crooked Tongues forum.

Nike is re-releasing some of it classics from the 70’s. The LD-1000, the Daybreak, the Nylon Cortez … they all look like they are over 30 years old. Nike did an amazing job on making this sneakers look vintage. You can have a look at them on the Nike Vintage Running website, which looks like a 70’s running magazine. Or buy them in Berlin at Nort or Solebox.
