Nike + Ostrich

It's not a new design concept, but it's growing in popularity: ostrich leather, or faux-ostrich leather. It can be easily identified by the round dimples that look like a custom pattern etched in the leather. Nike did it a decade ago on a collaboration with Stussy. They did it again recently on an all-black Air Max 90 collaboration as well. Another brand noted for it's designs has used ostrich recently as well: Nixon. They currently offer an all-ostrich leather wallet and they used ostrich accents on their 2009 Exclusive for Barney's Co-op Magnacon. The latest installment of Nike's classic dunk is a pack consisting of several color-ways with an ostrich swoosh. Several sources reported on these dunks earlier this month, but a release date is still TBD. The last picture is of the dunk low white/gridiron/ostrich; this shoe was discovered more recently.

Jack Daniel's Introduces a New Honey Whiskey

At Waffles! we love our whiskey. Shortly after the release of the Wild Turkey American Honey, Jack Daniel's answers back with their own style of Honey Whiskey. I haven't had the pleasure of trying it yet, but I can definitely say that I like Jack better than Wild Turkey and Wild Turkey's honey whiskey was legit; if that is any indication of what this version of Jack will be, then sign me up. Give it a go with some ginger ale and let me know what you think.

Singer Porsche 911

Driving a nice Porsche can turn heads, but rolling up in a Singer 911 will break necks. Singer Auto has "reimagined" the Porsche 911 for 2011. It may be reminiscent of the 70's era RS cars but upon closer inspection you will notice it has been custom built from the ground up with modern tech and performance. The idea behind this vehicle was to take the choicest parts of all the greatest 911's and mash them together to create the ultimate Porsche. The best part, it's in production now. This car has the body lines of the best 70's Porsche's with carbon fiber body panels, Bilstein suspension, 400+ hp engine, Brembo brakes, and a bespoke interior. Contact Singer Auto for pricing and ordering.

Nike SB Dunks - Statue of Liberty

The latest release from Nike SB is these sick-as-hell special edition dunks in the "statue of liberty" colorway. What sets these dunks apart is their ability to wear and reveal a copper tone layer below the  green a-la Nixon Chromacoat. This idea is breakthrough in the sneaker world just as it is in the watch game. It provides for one-off customization and personalization as the scratches and scars tell the story of these sneaks and their owner's time together.
