Stumbled upon this wicked series that re-imagines 1977 as if the tech from today existed then. View the full set

In a typically, absolutely non-typical Zoltar Projects-way, the cult design label turned art collective are unveiling their latest Nike Sportswear project, Nike Shaman. From Thursday morning you will see 5 looming figures appear in spots around the Nike 1948 Stadium, Shoreditch-based store / gallery, and here’s a heads up onto what will be an incredibly inspired, sport x art installation.

NIKE78 is an exciting new project created by Paul Jenkins and inspired by NIKE. Challenging what a NIKE sports shoe does, creatives that are involved with the project are asked to use sport as an inspiration to create something entirely different. All the outcomes are incredible, the W+K Tokyo Lab have designed an aquarium out of the original sports shoe which houses live fish! The shoe ends up looking really ethereal and beautiful.

The project is documented on the website and an exhibition showcase is planned for the London Design Festival 2010. The project was launched on Sunday and is really awe-inspiring...definitely worth checking out.

With a little visual aid from the awesome east London design studio Village Green, Diagram Of The Heart are the latest summer time duo ramping up and across the interweb with their electro pop anthem Dead Famous (out 5th July). The first signings to the legendary and recently resurrected Deconstruction label (Black Box, Robert Miles, The Grid...) Kye Sones and Anthony Gorry are going to be massive. Trust. It’s that sun drenched electro that crosses over perfectly... their licensing guy must be laughing. We stood spectacle to one of their early shows at YoYo, and if you take Kanye’s lead, kids throwing up (gang) band, heart hand signs before a single has even been released... well, must be a good sign of things to come. But back to Village Green, their inventive deconstructed / reconstructed design vibe for Fabric, Beck’s Fusions, Mark Ronson and that exploding egg cover for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are pretty stellar, so check them out alongside DOTH (Michael Woods Remix is available on Beatport now) as soon as.
