The collaboration thing is still going strong in “street wear” culture.  For the most part I ignore it, but occasionally some of that stuff spills over onto the automotive side and that is when I get interested.  The latest collab to touch on the automotive segment is what you see above.  Nike and street wear brand AMEN decided to launch their latest collab shoe by having artist Paul Snowden design a wrap to celebrate the union.  I am sure  your opinions on the result will vary but nonetheless I find it interesting when other cultures/arts find ways to mix in with our world.

Apparently, the guys at Jalopnik are not fans of the abstract non-sensical sneaker collab!  They posted these new Kobe Bryant Aston Martin Nike Hyper Dunks.  It might be the fact that they’re $550 a pop or that they can’t see a reason why Aston Martin would make a basketball shoe but either way they hate these things.  I haven’t formed my opinion yet.  What do you guys think?

We got this tip from our buddy Jay and his words were “Like Nike iD’s but way more expensive”.  What he meant was that the Rossion Q1 is a fully customizable made to order car.  The paint color and interior trim are customizable and tailored to order.  Although the Rossion doesn’t come with an engine or drive train they “reccomend” a 3.0 liter twin-turbo V6.  The whole concept is pretty fresh although it does remind me a bit of the Noble.
