It’s NBA playoffs right now so a hoops junkie like me doesn’t really need any extra basketball related distractions in their life but the NBA Europa design concept managed to cut through the endless LeBron and Kobe highlight reels to pique my interest. Put together purely as a concept by a graduating senior at the [...]

I came across these images when having a browse through the Guardian website. It was a nice sight for bleak morning eyes. Clark little is a hawaii based surf photographer. Being a long time surfer, Clark Little gained recognition for his photography with appearances on Good Morning America, Inside edition and many other local shows [...]

You see, I love all things two wheeled. I love bicyles and I love motorcycles. And you’d think, a small engined bicycle would be perfect as a low/no emission transport for the modern urban person. Unfortunately such mopeds are decidedly ugly. Enter Ridley Motorcycles and their Vintage Bike range. They’ve made a series of beautiful [...]

You may have noticed DEGOURGET likes posting videos of so-called ‘adrenaline’ sports. We haven’t yet, however, posted any skate videos. Thats kind of because I for one, am sick to death of them.

Saul Williams has stirred a bit of controversy by allowing his song List of Demands to be used in the latest Nike “Sparq Training” commercial. Now, this would have probably slid past for most artists, (street boners and TV carnage point out that no one said boo about Santogold’s Converse effort) but Williams is a [...]

Okay, I am eventually going to move on from all things basketball and Obama… real soon, I promise. But unitl that day arrives, clock these – the Mobama Dunk Low 2008. Two pairs were created by artist Virtual Mo, but he made them at the Nike Innovation Kitchen, so there’s a good chance you may [...]

There’s always so much emphasis put on Olympic torch designs in out opinion, are too often just ugly, design by committee kinda things. The cauldrons on the other hand, keeping the burning flame throughout the games, are somewhat magical. The guys over at oobject have done an interesting feature comparing the different cauldron designs for [...]
