World Landmark Rings are Classy, Great as a Weapon

Filed under: Design, Wearables

Look, I’m not what you might call a hipster, unless sitting around in your pajamas all day is considered hip these days. But I do like to get a little flashy when I get all dolled up to go out.

Slip a digit into one of the four World Landmark Rings, which bear the idol of the Leaning Tower, Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and the Space Needle. Wear all four at once if you desire. They also looks like it could cause a significant amount of pain if applied with just enough pressure to the balls.

Reader Marianne sent us this photo of her fabulously geeky ecology tattoo. Inked across Marianne’s back is the chemical equation for photosynthesis. Hope you’ve all been eating your veggies.

Photosynthesis is underrated. Way to spread the word!

Concept Nike Glasses Allow Bikers To See Their Surroundings

nikeglasses1

Trust me, I know how important it is to see all of your surroundings when you’re biking. When I was 12 I was hit by a drunk driver. I can only think of what might have happened if I had been able to see what was going on around me. Would I have been able to avoid the hit?

The Nike Hindsight concept glasses give bikers an extra 25% visual range on each side of their peripheral vision. That’s a few extra feet that can literally save your life. The extra angle helps riders see traffic approaching from different angles. It sucks getting hit by a car. Really. You should do everything in your power to avoid it.

Bono Launches U2’s New Tour with Awesome Laser Jacket

Filed under: Design, Wearables

Love him or hate him (you’ll be able to guess which side of the spectrum I’m on by the end of this post), Bono has some slick style. U2 launched their 360 tour last night in Barcelona and Bono appeared in a jacket affixed with fricken’ laser beams attached while performing the song “Ultra Violet (Light My Way).”

Now, I usually don’t like to get mixed up in politics and I’m certainly not a humanitarian, but how many starving Africans do you think the cost of that Moritz Waldemeyer-designed jacket could feed? Come on, Bono, you fucking tax-dodging Irish hypocrite. Told ya you’d be able to guess. Check out a video after the jump.

Leather Bandages: Normal Band Aids Just Aren’t Metal Enough

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Wearables

leather-bandaid

These bandages take a page right from the book of Stryper, the most metal of metalest bands ever. Battle wounds are part of the metal world. When you have fans throwing broken beer bottles at the stage, it’s sort of difficult not to get a boo-boo every once in a while.

But what’s a metal guitarist to do? A simple old band aid won’t cut it. Hell, even duct tape bandages aren’t hardcore enough. These Leather Bandages should fit right in with your full-body pleather jumpsuit.

NYC Subway Map Cuff

Ah, yes. Functional jewelry. For people who’ve just migrated to the big city (as in, New York) and haven’t found themselves acclimated, consider dropping $23 on designer Tiffany Burnette’s wristcuff-thingy. It’s a metal cuff bracelet with the entire map of the subway on it. And by entire map, I mean Manhattan minus the ghetto areas uptown. Made in New York, for New Yorkers.

Holy cow, Tails! That’s more alliteration than a hooker in Amsterdam!

Peep this fucking sweet Sonic The Hedgehog t-shirt. It’s Sonic and he’s squeezed into a box tighter than a Thai hooker. No, but really, it’s a promo t-shirt being handed out in Japan to promote the upcoming title Sonic Chronicles. Yeah, people got this shirt FOR FREE. Way jealous.

Superhero Robes: It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, No! It’s an Average Man!

Filed under: Wearables

Who hasn’t dreamed of one day being a superhero? It’s one of those ambitions that you never lose as you transition from child to adult. When you’re a kid, you wear pajamas featuring your favorite superhero’s emblem. Some PJs even featured a cape for ultra-realism. Now, as adults, we can get somewhat of the same effect in a slightly matured style.

The Superhero Robers are available in Batman and Superman flavors. Depending on your superhero of choice, you to can pretend that you are out saving the streets, rather than just laying in bed and fantasizing.
