As kids, we would throw up our beat up sneakers and try to hang them on telephone poles or electrical wires. This is the concept Nike based their installation on for their setup at the 144 LAB in Los Angeles. Many pairs of the Nike Los Angeles City Dunks were hung on a wire at the gallery. This installation will be there from February 9th to February 16th so if you're in town, go check this one out.

Coupled with Alphanumeric's subtle logo hits and timeless aesthetic, the end product is nothing short of incredible. If this technique has been used before we haven't seen it, and no this isn't a slick deck! Available this spring with the re-launch of Alphanumeric.

In an attempt to appease the post-war housing boom facing America, the Case Study Houses was an experiment bringing together leading architects to design efficient and sustainable housing.

The installation was masterminded by Etnies founder Pierre Andre Senizergues and Gil Le Bon de Lapointe and will be on display starting January 28th at Colette.
