| Gran Turismo 5 Update – Red Bull X2010 Giveaway Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:12 AM PDT
At just 24 years old, Germany’s Sebastian Vettel has secured his second consecutive Formula 1 World Championship after grabbing just the one point he needed at Sunday’s Japanese Grand Prix. To commemorate the achievement, Polyphony Digital is offering a special Gran Turismo 5 online event, available for just one week. Just log on to the PlayStation Network and you’ll have the chance to enter a time trial on the Japanese Grand Prix’s Suzuka Circuit using the Gran Turismo 5 ultimate fantasy car, the Red Bull X2010. Up for grabs are 5 million credits.

| Osaka Station City Water Display Posted: 10 Oct 2011 12:30 AM PDT
The most remarkable feature of Japan’s largest shopping mall, located in the South Gate Building of the sprawling Osaka Station City complex in Osaka, has nothing to do with merchandise or bargains. It’s a fountain that can display the time, temperature and even artwork on the flowing sheets of water that act as a shimmering canvas. Created by Koei Industry, the attraction is a waterfall and printer rolled into one, with water streams lit up to reproduce an ever changing array of patterns and designs stored in a computer. It’s a spectacle that has to be seen in action, so click through and check out a video of the mesmerizing display.

| Louis Vuitton / Marc Jacobs Book | By Pamela Golbin Posted: 09 Oct 2011 03:00 PM PDT
An upcoming book by Rizzoli, the publishing house noted for its hardcover art and design tomes, examines the Louis Vuitton empire through the two figures most responsible for its place in the fashion firmament, founder Louis Vuitton and designer Marc Jacobs. Author Pamela Golbin splits the book into two parts: the first chronicles Vuitton’s ascendancy, and how he was able to transform his small artisanal company into the premier luxury trunk supplier for Parisian society’s elite in the late 1800s. These chapters are highlighted by never before seen images of his early works. The second half focuses on the Marc Jacobs era of the brand, begun in 1997 when the mercurial designer was appointed creative director. Jacobs’ imprint was solidified with a successful apparel line, as well as a series of collaborations with contemporary artists and designers, including Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince and Stephen Sprouse, that effectively altered the direction of the historic label. Publication for Louis Vuitton/Marc Jacobs is slated for March 6th, 2012.

Updated with a distinctive ripple sole, the mid-styled boot is built with a tan suede upper and warm boa lining. A closer look reveals an abstracted BAPE trademark embossed onto the side of the left shoe, while the right bears the Airwalk logo as well as BAPE insignia. Look for these to drop later this month. via: Espionagekicks

| Diamond Supply Co. Fall 2011 Footwear Collection Posted: 09 Oct 2011 01:00 PM PDT
It’s hard to believe Diamond Supply Co. started out as a manufacturer of skateboarding hardware. With the help of some high-profile collaborations, the brand is now a bona fide streetwear force, with a full range of apparel and accessories, and now a nascent footwear line. For Fall 2011 Diamond introduces three new models: the Marquise and Miner, both in a mid-top silhouette, as well as a low-cut style in the VVS. Each shoe is built with durable cupsole construction and features a suede or leather upper. They’re available now at Diamond retailers like Southern California’s Primitive. Primitive
