Ryan McGinley Winter Olympics

I've always liked the editorial style of the New York Times Magazine but I just had to post these stunners I stumbled upon. These photos of competitors for the 2010 Winter Olympics were published in the 7 February 2010 issue, taken by my favourite photographer Ryan McGinley.

Nike Air MAG

Remember the Nikes that Marty McFly wore in Back To The Future II? Those in the know have been speculating the release of these for a while. A special invitation from Nike was sent to a select number of folk, in the form of a black acrylic box with these and a cryptic invite inside stating "It's about time". In 2008 Nike released these hyperdunks but judging from this video these are probably much closer to the real deal.

V&A: Fashion v Sport 


Visited the V&A on Friday but had to decide between the Cold War Modern and the Fashion v Sport exhibition. As you can see I decided on the later, mainly because I'm writing my dissertation on Sportswear. I still enjoyed it. Seeing Bernhard Willhelm pieces in real life. And the limited edition and this pair of I-Saw "Engraviti" Dunks, hand engraved illustrations on ther shoe.\

Marty McFly Hyperdunk

This shoe pretty much is the “future”. These shoes are inspired by the ones Marty McFly from Back To The Future II. Details on the shoes are a speckled mid sole, McFly style color blocking, Back to the Future style logos, and finished off with a glow-in-the-dark sole.
