Walking Bike
It seems that sneakers are being incorporated left and right in product design these days. After witnessing the Shoe Chandelier designed by Peter Pracilio and Oscar Lopez, we are now being exposed to this amazing piece of bike design. The Walking Bike built by Max Knight for Yargo Tloupas of Intersection magazine is equipped with custom tyres adorned with 8 different pairs of sneakers.

The Freaky Jason
With so many independent magazines right now in the market, its not often that you come across something that is truly original. Hailing from London, The Freaky Jason is a free magazine that covers all things, artistic, absurd, surreal and underground. The magazine’s first issue ‘Jesusy Boys’ featuring Warren Ellis of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds on the front cover- highlights the growing trend on the underground scene of people growing long beards and looking like Jesus. “Steering away from conventional religious banter, this issue embraces how hot Jesus looked. Spiritual? Bah! Sexy! Look around these days and you’ll note that muscles are out, and beards are in.“
