The Audi quattro Experience is a one-of-a-kind interactive installation that features a 20-foot by 7-foot, handcrafted raceway built by custom slot track builder David Beattie of Slot Mods USA. The scale model Audi A4 slot cars were made from scratch with in-car cameras that allow racers a first-person look as they zip around the track, through the world's first iPad-enabled controllers. Here's a behind-the-wheel look at how David and his team raced to get this project finished.
The inspirational story of two brothers who bonded over sports will leave few with a dry eye. With Cayden having been diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 14 months old, Conner has pulled his little brother behind him in a raft while he swims, towed him in a trailer behind his bike, and pushed him across the finish line while competing in 14 triathlons. Their hard work and love for each other is what earned them the title of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKids of the Year.
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.
