It's always entertaining when you see someone that looks like someone famous. It's a common occurence in shopping malls and at the beach. Whether it's the lo-fi Patrick Syawze buying dried fruit in the supermarket or the poor man's Liam Neeson reading the newspaper on the train, unofficial celebrity lookalike are awesome.
Well, that's is feeling we get when we saw visual artist
Marc Ghali's series of portraits. Ghali's taken old school famous faces and spliced them with their this era's equivalents. It's pretty amazing how similar some are, making the portrait look like and young vs old comparison, where others don't quite work as well and come off a little Frankenteiny.

It's been over 10 years since the world's feet were graced with the Nike Dunk Low Viotec. Released exclusively in Japan with a limited run and bearing pretty much every colour in the rainbow, the aptly named Rainbow Wild Classic disappeared, never to be seen again. Until now. Or, maybe on the internets somewhere or the closets of hardcore sneaker freaks.
The re-release has had a few minor upgrades including a full-grain leather collar and insole along with a Nike Zoom Air unit in the heel for maximum comfiness. The colours however, are just as rad and bold. Kind looks like someone stapled Tucan Sam to a pair of kicks.
The Dunk has been a Nike staple for, well, ever really and has become a canvas for some awesome colourways, collabs and more during its life and that most definitely includes the Rainbow Wild Classic.
You can get your hands on 'em here in Australia as of June 8 at Nike shops, Hype DC and Espionage.

There are so many things about these photos we don;t know where to begin. They almost don't need any explanation except for a title. You know, sometimes things are best left to speak for themselves and when it comes to women from the 1930s demonstrating Jiu Jitsu, it couldn't be further from proving my point.
Enjoy.

Sometimes we don't need a reason to do something. And if that something happens to be nonsensical, stupid and without any considered thought, then so be it. More often than not, it will be amusing in some way and coupled with the ability to film and virally distribute these random acts of stupidity, we have ourselves fast food funny stuff.
Exhibit A: Best Vines Compilation May
We stumbled across this on Lol zeitgeist Brown Cardigan (which if you've never checked out, please do). Refer to the above in regards to questioning why we've chosen to show this to you. It's Friday and the mood took us. Enjoy.

Ryan Gosling. The source of so much internet lols, celeb crushes (both man and woman), good movies, ok movies and enough charm to soften the blackened heart of Judith Sheindlin.
However, his acting ability is never really doused with the exposing glare of a spotlight. Until now that is.

Undoubtedly one of the most recognised and most loved Nike creations, the Air Max series has been the cornerstone for athletes and sneaker freaks across the globe for over 25 years. A seamless blend of style and innovation that originated in sport and eventually transcended lifestyle boundaries and making their mark as essential kicks.
In celebration of what he dubbed as "the greatest sneaker of all time", illustrator/designer Matt Stevens put together
MAX100, a collectible book featuring 100 visual interpretations of the Air Max 1. The book features Stevens' skills with melding CGI and photography to create some pretty dope images.
Now, to coincide with release of the
Air Max Egineered Mesh series, Nike have again enlisted the vision of Stevens' in further tribute to the Air Max in what is simply titled, #AIRMAX. The new series of images casts Stevens' eye across the Air Max 1, Air Max 90, Air Max 95 and the Air Max 97 taking thematic inspiration from colour, cultural significance and reinvention.
Check it.
