Star Wars Adidas trainers - Episode 2

-

Following on from their hugely successful (well, not all of the range...) Star Wars trainers that Adidas launched last year, 2011 sees the launch of the next batch in the series.

Adidas have taken some of their classic and iconic trainers and boots and revisited them with a Star Wars twist. As these seem to be focused on Imperial characters and themes, expect to see a Rebellion theme before the end of the year.


As with the previous range which we featured on here on the Liv Design blog early last year, some are more successful than others. We like the AT-AT Pilot boots (not sure about the removable AT-AT pilot head though!)

The new trainer range include:

  • Boba Fett Gazelle 
  • Darth Vader Ultrastar
  • The Emperor ZX8000
  • Royal Guard Stan Smith 80S
  • Coruscant (with Vader) Skyline Mid
  • Star Wars Superskate Mid
  • AT-AT pilot Eldorado Hi
  • Star Wars Attitude Hi


Some are already discounted though on the Adidas online shop. Expect to best ones on ebay for twice the price soon...

The Nissan Cube – thinking outside the box

-

Love it hate it, there's no denying that the Nissan Cube will certainly get you noticed on the road. With it's Manga style looks and unique asymmetrical style it's certainly a quirky design. It's been described (rather harshly) as a "fridge on wheels", a "bonsai minivan" and a "Brinks Mat van that went into a boil wash"... First launched in Japan over ten years ago, the Cube immediately achieved a cult status and was adopted by the stylish, underground and urban set - the ‘denso’, carefree in spirit, unique in mind. It was intended to appeal to young people passionate about being individual and as a lifestyle choice, more than a car. It has gained a huge cult following within the creative sector with appearances in fashion, magazines, video and commercials, and online. The Cube was even voted one of the 50 cars that changed the world by the London Design Museum. Until now the Cube was only available in the UK as an import. To ret...

Stamp of approval for great Design

-

The Royal Mail focuses again on the design industry, this time focusing on the world’s most iconic British design work of the 20th Century. The stamps were 'carefully seleced' by a panel of experts from the world of design. There are 10 special stamps: the spitfire, mini skirt, mini car, anglepoise lamp, concorde, phone box, Robin Day polyprop chair, Penguin paperback, London Underground map and the Routemaster. Looking at the ones that didn't make the final cut, it makes you proud to be involved in the UK design industry – the harrier, Britain is still a formidable force in the design industry, especially when you consider how small we are compared to the size and might of other countries. Britain still manages to create design classics today in just about every industry, from fashion to food, advertising to automotive, textiles to telecoms. Get those flags flying!
