Listen to the great track from the Levi’s Pioneer Sessions with John Legend and The Roots!
From the site:
It’s an intersection between two major modern music talents: John Legend, one of the premier R&B singers of our era, and The Roots, the best live hip-hop band in the world.

There are some really interesting results coming from the Nike 78 project. About the project:
Creatives involved will receive a brand new pair of NIKE shoes and will be asked to use sport as inspiration to challenge their function.
Our favorite so far is from W+K Tokyo where they built a fish tank out of the form of one of their shoes! More images of the other results at Nike 78.
Tattoo artist Scott Campbell partnered with Louis Vuitton for their menswear presentation in Paris. The pieces look great and he gave all the models neck “tattoos”.
