When I was younger, I had a spinning globe on a stand that I used to place on my desk. I hardly ever used it, but I kept it there because I liked how it looked on my desk (plus, it lit up). I haven’t owned a globe since then but this Orion Black Ocean illuminated world globe is sorta making me want one again. At $85, it’s no cheap desk accessory (that’s the sale price, too!), but at least that sort of money will get you a globe that will be unlike most of your friend’s globes (if they even have any). And hey, the black oceans are a nice contrast to the usual blue oceans on traditional globes.
Oh, and flip the switch and you’ll see the continents and words on the globe light up in a very nice, high-contrast look.
Caliroots is one of the few online stores I’m seeing so far that is carrying the new Nike Cheyenne 2000 technical backpack. The difference between this version and the regular Cheyenne 2000 backpack is that this one comes completely weather-sealed with waterproof zippers and a rubberized exterior lining. For about $185 USD, this isn’t a bad choice for lugging around gear that absolutely must stay dry.
Check out the images of the bag below (photos courtesy of Caliroots).
Totally in love with that grey and blue colorway for the Converse Blackflag Collection CVO sneaker. The sneakers will appear at select Stussy stores beginning October 24th. Nice. [via]
Wow, what a beautiful looking bicycle from Continuum Cycles whose shop I pass by frequently but never have the guts to enter (mainly because I know everything in there is out of my budget). In any case, window shopping there is always fun. They’ve always got incredibly beautiful bikes on display.
So here’s the deal. Somebody in Stockholm, Sweden has spent over $1 million USD and 3.5 years of his life (roughly 20,000 hours) to rebuild the classic Batmobile vehicle seen in Tim Burton’s 1989 version of Batman. [via]
The pictures speak louder than the words here, so check them out in the gallery below and be sure to watch the video too.
Available very soon in limited editions of 20, the newly announced KRINK 8-liter applicator is probably one art tool that will get you into some significant trouble. Looks fun though, I suppose.
