When the Endeavor Snowboard Design was established in 2002, it aimed to produce the best snowboards in the world. With a return rate of only 1%, their boards are now one of the best performing snowboards out there on the market. On top of their high quality products, several of their graphics are created by top artists and designers from around the globe. British streetwear brand ADDICT have gotten together with fellow British designer C-LAW – a graphic designer who have worked on numerous ADDICT products in the past – to design a range of snowboards with Endeavor Snowboard Design. There will only be seven boards available in a range of sizes and these will be sold from today through ADDICT by phone orders only.

The first preview of the PROJECT Wooster 2012 preview video gave a very compressed version of the trip Nick Wooster and the crew took to Tokyo. In this second installment, we get a much longer video explaining their experiences through the capital city of Japan. Topics raised during the casual chat were; difference in attitude towards fashion and styling, merchandizing, product selection and how to bring over the whole retail experience to PROJECT this year. Wooster sums up the Japanese retail style beautifully in one simple sentence – “They just buy cool sh*t”. Watch the full preview after the jump and expect a few more to pop up leading up to the trade show.

SWAGGER had been busy recently implementing collaboration projects and the latest partnership comes courtesy of Lee. The capsule collection is entitled The Number, which takes inspiration from vintage Lee jackets and jeans. These items can be worn as a set up or on their own. Each piece is packed with details that would make any vintage denim fans excited. Around the mid 1940′s Lee developed this 101 J jacket to cater for cowboys and rodeo riders. Furthermore, this particular brass colored, button top design is taken from post 1946 vintage pieces and this iconic jacket was seen on Steve McQueen as well. The 101 B jeans is made using selvedge denim and it is detailed by the same accents as the jacket. Both pieces are currently available at SWAGGER dealers and stores in Japan.

Dragon Ball is most likely one of the famous Japanese animations that successfully made the cross over into countries outside of Japan. Its paperback manga volumes sold over 152 million copies in Japan alone, with the worldwide sales reaching over 200 million copies. The simple story line and lovable characters made the animation enjoyable for both kids and adults. New Era took the essence of Dragon Ball and created a series of limited edition caps. There are eight cap designs in total and each takes a pivotal graphic element from key characters including several caps focusing on Goku, the main character of the series. The whole collection can be ordered from ON SPOTZ in Japan right now.

If I was an executive in one of the digital point-and-shoot camera companies out there, I hope I would notice the emerging trend in macro photo technology on smartphones; a game that just got more interesting with the Macro Cell Lens Band. Fitted with a “cell” sized macro lens, Photojojo’s Macro Cell Lens Band is a rubber band that slips over your smartphone’s camera lens and–say cheese–because that’s all you need to take incredible macro photos. And when you’re done with your impromptu photo session, the band can slip over your wrist or slide into your pocket unlike some of the other more bulkier solutions out there. Check out examples of the quality of this insanely simple, but effective way to take your iPhone to the next level after the jump.

Nike presents a hybrid model that we can definitely get behind: the Footscape Free, which fuses an upper dominated by the Footscape’s distinctive asymmetrical lacing system with Nike’s ultra-flexible Free sole. A ripstop nylon fabrication in vibrant Safety Orange, mixed with contrasting hits of grey and black, work well with the silhouette, and fits perfectly with the modern Free aesthetic. Originally released in 1995, the Footscape was ahead of its time, and with the upcoming Footscape Free, fans of the cult sneaker should be happy to see it’s been updated to perform as a true running shoe. Expect these to drop in early 2012. via: SF

Designed by Bruce Kilgore, who’d already made a name for himself with the Air Force 1, the Nike Air Flow was first introduced to the world in 1989. The shoe featured a minimalist upper crafted from lightweight, flexible neoprene, and an outsole equipped with flex grooves for responsive cushioning. The revolutionary design would act as a precursor to beloved Nike styles such as the Hurache, Presto and Free, and the original vivid colorways expertly captured the spirit of the go-go ’80s. Those OG styles quickly sold out when they were retroed earlier this year, so fans of the shoe in simple, brightly rendered hues should look forward to this pair in Volt Cherry arriving next spring. They’re the perfect example of a retro sneaker in a new colorway that feels comfortingly familiar. via: SF

Before continuing on with this story, please take a moment to examine the photo here. Notice the Apple iPod Touch that is sitting on the top yet? This is the iNuke Boom by BEHRINGER, or what some fondly called “the M.O.A.B. of All Speakers” in reference to the 10.3-ton Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb dropped by U.S. Air Force. Set to work as a speaker and dock for Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod, the iNuke Boom comes in at nearly 700 pounds with the size to match. The monolith has the footprint of an office desk, measuring at 8 feet in length and 4 feet in height. Tuned to an output of 10,000 watts, that is music to our ears, albeit deafening ones. One of one demonstration platform, the BEHRINGER iNuke Boom will debut during next month’s CES trade show in Las Vegas.
