Cracked to Perfection - Maison Martin Margiela x Converse

Designer collaborations are at an all time high, but this has to be the most unique. The Maison Martin Margiela x Converse offers something different with this sneaker collaboration. The iconic Chuck Taylor Converse All Star sneakers take a 'dip' in a new direction. These hot kicks will be dipped in Maison Martin Margiela's signature white paint, covering the entire shoe. The unique thing about these shoes is that they start off white, but as you wear them they transform and their true color starts to chip through. 

Check for these shoes at Margiela and Converse stores

BOGOBRUSH

Introducing the first toothbrush you will actually care about! The Bogobrush is not only a toothbrush, it is a toothbrush that serves a purpose other than to clean your mouth. Perfectly designed to provide an effortless feel in both your hand and mouth. The Bogobrush is composed of nylon bristles and a bamboo handle that is biodegradable. So when it is time to replace the brush for a new one you just discard the bristles and return it to the earth.

One of the most important features of buying the Bogobrush is the "Buy One + Give One" concept. When you purchase a Bogobrush not only do you receive this high quality brush, another person in need will receive the same brush! With over 80 million people in the USA alone lacking access to adequate dental care...this would improve the quality of your life as well as another individual in desperate need.

With all of the struggling going on in the world it is hard to help everyone, but if we all do our part then we can make the world a better place. Remember, every little bit helps.

A Different Take on the Office Commute: MR PORTER

Tired of the same routine of going to work? Whether it be sitting behind a wheel in traffic or traveling through the busy subways, the majority of us have the same stale routine day to day. Ever thought about changing it up a bit? MR PORTER has.

Taking to the streets of London, using 22 year old free runner Pip Andersen, MR PORTER shows that the office commute does not need to be as boring and systematic as we have made it. Check out the video below of Mr. Andersen taking to the streets AND buildings on his morning commute to work using an urban acrobatic form called Parkour...all while wearing a suit.
