Open Source House

By streamlining the materials and process, the Open Source House cuts costs and time without sacrificing design. The 1,200 square foot structure opted out of traditional building practices and instead used wood panels as their main material, eliminating the need for plastering and painting and the expense that comes with them. These panels were cut and varnished off-site and cover the walls, floors, and ceilings, creating a minimalist aesthetic. The open floor plan consists of a living room, kitchen, mezzanine, and upper-level bedrooms and bathrooms. Glazed doors provide a natural light source as well as access to an exterior terrace. If you like what you see, Studiolada Architects have shared the plans free of charge.

Nike LeBron XXI Akoya Basketball Shoes

The Swoosh is often a prominent feature on the sides of Nike shoes. With a contrasting orange underline to match the detailing of this otherwise cream-tinted colorway, the LeBron XXI Akoya presents it in a more subtle manner. Also subtle is the design's cabling system that secures the foot during aggressive movements, as it's hidden beneath the perforated outer layer. Zoom units in the forefoot and heel provide cushioning on push-off and landing, and a Cushlon 2.0 midsole combines with the quilted tongue to give a pillow-soft feel against your feet.

Nike P-6000 Premium Running Shoes

Nike owned the running shoe market in the early '00s with the Pegasus, one of the most highly-rated running shoes ever. Trading on that history, the new Pegasus P-6000 Premium mashes up the design of the Pegasus 25 and 2006 for an all-new shoe. The throwback look has been updated with a well-cushioned insole and a lifted stance for comfort with a long-lasting rubber outsole. At the heel is a Hangul Nike monogram on the heel in an ode to the creator of the Korean alphabet.
