To celebrate his Quarrybay 2006 football series and his obsession with football, Michael Lau recently produced this 24K gold figure. It can only be seen on display at the DPMHI store in Soho. Talk about toys reaching the high end market. The figure is 6 inches high and is a reproduction of his Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy inspired vinyl figure. However, this figure will not be for sale.

Nike hooked up with +41 to produce a Nike Air Max 1 iD shoe. According to +41, they wanted to give the shoe a “mythical” theme because it’s what draws people to look. Which brings us to the design of the eyes on the toungue:
the intention is to switch the ordinary roles: instead of people looking at the sneakers, it’s thesneakers that look at you!
Also the shoe represents Nike’s vision in terms of history and what they’ve accomplished. Only 41 pairs of these kicks were made and came in a “straw” package that included a +41 Air Max 1 artwork t-shirt and a pack of “eyes” stickers.
Now for the heartbreak. The shoes are all sold out and was only available at the Thomas I Punkt store in Hamburg. Proceeds from the benefit goes to charity, and the exhibition at the store will continue for three weeks more. Last chance to purchase a pair of thes Air Max 1’s will be through an international auction at Zurich this October.

Keep your eyes peeled this fall season for the release of these new Puma My-20’s. For this edition, Puma has given this pair of Puma’s a leopard print look, which was designed by Yashuhiro Mihara – a japanese designer who is in his seventh year of his own collection with Puma. Furthermore, Yasuhiro’s 2006 collection is inspired through the moments in horror films where a character has to run or hide in order to escape a terrifying being. Now how’s that for imagination? The shoes will be available at select Puma stores this fall.
