via www.freshnessmag.com

Nearly twenty years after the original campaign, Jordan Brand is re-launching the Johnny Kilroy marketing push for the Air Jordan IX with a special line of sneakers starting next week. (Johnny Kilroy being a fictional character that Nike created who looked and played a lot like Jordan, even down to the Air Jordan IXs on his feet. Was it really Jordan in disguise, who was supposed to have retired from basketball to pursue heroics on the baseball diamond?) There were other characters as well, and this upcoming White/Dark Cayenne-University Gold colorway gives the nod to Bentley Ellis, now on ebay.

via hypebeast.com

Never a label to follow blindly in the footsteps of others, Maison Martin Margiela‘s collaboration with Swedish retailer H&M will further distinguish itself from its predecessors with a collection of footwear. The Belgian fashion house announced earlier that the collection will consist of “re-editions” of archival classics and the shoes will follow suit — silhouettes taken from MMM’s back catalogs and reiterated for the mass consumer. Ardent fans of the label will likely recognize the six models that will release with the clothing — a gum-soled, high-top sneaker in white and red colorways, along with a slip-on and ankle boot that will be offered in tan, black and paint-treated versions. Look for more details of the November 15 release as they surface.

BUGATTI Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse - Rafale Special Edition

via www.freshnessmag.com

Bugatti is just giving the people want they want. And what they want are special editions Veyron’s. After seeing how quickly their Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse sold (almost immediately) even with a $2.5 million sticker price, the French automaker is back with a Rafale Special Edition. Introduced at the Sao Paulo Motor Show, this extraordinary supercar was made even more unique with the addition of alloy wheels, a two-tone exterior with “Gris Rafale” paint complemented with a blue carbon fiber. Inside the cabin, Bugatti went with lake blue leather for the seats to match the dash trim, both contrasted with light grey stitching. Underneath the hood, everything remains the same as the standard model, including its quad-turbocharged 7.0-liter W16 engine that is capable of producing 1,200 HP and 1,500 Nm of torque. Judging by the fact that Bugatti hasn’t had any trouble selling any of their Veyrons, you can expect this one to disappear quickly with its $2.5 million price tag.
