Luxury pen maker Montegrappa has been making writing instruments for almost a century. And DC Comics has been making comics since the golden comic-book era in 1935. So perhaps this lineage justifies the inception of Montegrappa x DC Comics “Heroes & Villains” pen collection. Well, that and the fact that  you might just feel a little cheap […]


Considering the breathless press releases and countless panels at the Los Angeles Auto Show (LAAS) last month devoted strictly to autonomous driving — and the nearly infinite ways the technology would profoundly influence every aspect of our society — it is clear the topic du jour in automotive circles is self-driving cars. But perhaps the […]


The Maine Guide Boot isn’t anything particularly new for the Yuketen line. But what is new is that the moccasin-styled 6-eye boot with the chromexcal leather midsole and Vibram ripple sole will soon be available in a new “loden green” hue. As can be expected from designer Yuki Matsuda’s Yuketen line, the shoe is finished with Native-American-inspired styling […]


Don’t know which classic color to get your Converse in? Get them all, but only in one pair with the Converse All Star Chuck Taylor “1970 3-panel” high-top sneaker. Branded with all the Chuck Taylor traditions like the star emblem at the ankle, the license plate at the white rubber heel and the two metal eyelets along […]


Mad Max Fury Road might make you rethink your whole I’m-sick-of-redos stance on filmmaking, because this trailer looks really, really fucking cool. What it lacks in a young, pre-weirdo Mel Gibson it more than makes up for in using original director/visionary George Miller who boasted during San Diego Comic Con this past weekend that Mad Max wasn’t really […]


Eva Green is a French-born twin-sister-having starlet, which means she already has enough built-in femme factors to provide a forest full of wood. But now, let’s add her visibility that’s got her scandalous Sin City 2 poster rejected by the MPAA. Apparently those self-proclaimed judges of propriety got wild upon the site of her underboob, in conjunction […]


Taking design cues from the famed 1929 Majestic motorcycle, Austrian engineer Johann Hammerschin’s eyebrow-raising Johammer J1 Electric Motorcycle is one of the more unique two-wheelers in the game. Like early motorcycle entrepreneur Georges Ray’s obscure Majestic, the Hammerschin’s Johammer J1 has a fishlike profile with copious side farings. It also shares hub-center steering on the front wheel, another Majestic peculiarity. […]


If you’re in the market for an electric bike, there are a wide range of options available for you. From the Stealth Bomber, retro-styled Oto Cycle and folding Gocycle to the $80,000 PG Blacktrail, the world’s fastest electric bike (not to mention concepts from the likes of AUDI and EBIQ), it’s safe to say you have a fair share of candidates. Throwing their […]
