Since 2002, Takashi Murakami has hosted a weekly “Art Dojo FM” radio show on Japanese radio station Tokyo FM. 2010 marks, the radio station’s 40th year on the air, so to celebrate, they enlisted Casio to produce a translucent red G-Shock Frogman, complete with Takashi Murakami “flower” artwork on the caseback and packaging (there’s a mini pillow in the box!), as well as the artist’s signature across the strap. The watch will be released on September 11, 2010 and is limited to 300 pieces.

An all-American Harley, a speedy Ninja, or the Bat-Pod? For fans of the flawed superhero, BATMAN, the choice is probably obvious. Though we are not quite certain how this Bat-Pod came about, but someone created a winning replica which looks extremely similar to the one BATMAN actually rode, and the best part? It works! Another example of the ingenuity (not to mention amount of time) people have that are being shared around the globe via the wonders of internet. Check out the Bat-Pod replica and enjoy the video of the ride zipping its way through traffic in California. Definitely put the Lexus behind him to shame.via: Gizmodo

JJ FAD were made up of: MC J.B. (Juana Burns), Baby-D (Dania Birks), and Sassy C. (Michelle Franklin).

The group’s only Top 40 hit was 1988’s “Supersonic,” which made J.J. Fad the first female rap group to earn a Grammy nomination. Their second album did not fare as well and the group disbanded shortly after.

Big shout out to the ladies JJ FAD!

According to the NY Post, the former couple have finally sold their old Saddle River, NJ mansion for $13.9 million. Back in 2007, the 35,000-square-foot home was listed on the market for $23.8 million. The mansion that sits on four acres has 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.

While soccer has dominated most of the world’s cardio-vascular activity (yes, we do believe cheering counts as cardio if you do it long and hard enough), after Spain had taken home the much coveted 2010 FIFA World Cup trophy, Nike unwinds from all the FIFA action and brings in a little orthodox tender loving care for all by reintroducing running as its Fall/Holiday 2010 focus. Freshness had just returned from Nike Running’s Fall/Holiday 2010 Greater China Media Summit held in Shanghai, at the revamped historical Shanghai 1933, which was first built in 1893 as a slaughter house and is now revived into a creative space for events, exhibitions, shopping, offices and more.

Running is one of the most aged, and most easily accessible sport there is. However, in an attempt to refresh running and provide an alternative point of view to a sport which has evolved from a pure cardiovascular activity into something more transcendent and spiritual, Nike aims to re-energize running by introducing an alternative point of view and also support its cause with new technology and key products.

The key technology for Fall/Holiday 2010 is the Dynamic Support (DS) system designed by Daisuke Furuya (one of the earliest developers of the technology). The DS system has been built into several key products including the Lunar Eclipse+ and the Lunar Glide+ II. Aside from the Lunar kicks, there will also be a Visibility Pack and a Race Pack, in addition to the incorporation of Lunar Glide+ II into the NIKEiD line-up.

New for Fall 10, CLAE presents the athletic footwear inspired Baylor sneaker. Amongst the standout details are a soft neoprene heel collar, reflective back perforations and a custom molded footbed. The Baylor will be available soon in four color ways, including the above Ruby Pebble and Black Pebble.

The latest United Arrows retail venture was opened within the Narita Airport in Tokyo, which signified an interesting approach from the retail group. Taking on more of a lifestyle direction, the shop sells product under four key categories: travel, business, daily, gift. These include the likes of clothing, accessories, stationery grooming products and many others. Key collaborations also include projects with British label Cath Kidson and Italian leather specialist Felisi. The best part of the experience is that everything purchased comes tax free, which can’t be said with most retail experiences.

Yet another collaboartion between LIVESTRONG and Nike Sportswear comes in the form of a Blazer done up in premium materials. If you even remotely follow the sneaker game, you know that there have been some amazing collaborations in the past between these two, including a Dunk High collaboration with Undefeated, which looks similar to this Blazer in it’s mostly monochromatic upper, apart from the yellow shadowing on the border of the swoosh and rainbow eyelet on the tongue. Rumored to be a Tier Zero release, for now, this model is due out at the Berlin sneaker mainstay, Firmament, on Saturday, July 24th. Stay tuned for domestic release information or contact your European hookups for this grown up, “Supreme” model of the Blazer. via HS
