The Nike Roshe Run is gaining rather strong popularity and it helps with just as strong make-ups. Having seen this colorway a little while back, other retailers are getting their hands on this shoe.

Coffe tables taking on the shape of items from yesteryear are pretty cool. Do you guys remember the Nintendo NES Controller table we showed you last month? This time around, we present another iconic item made into the form of a table with a cassette tape — or mixtape in this case — that has been created as a 12:1 scale replica made out of reclaimed maple, walnut and lucite. Its maker, Jeff Skierka, did a great job of capturing the essence of the mixtape. This table is a prototype and one of a kind at the moment, and if we hear more about further production pieces, we will let you know.

Take a detailed look at the Mixtape Table after the jump.

Los Angeles retailer, Union, has dropped their latest collaboration with Mark McNairy. The two have found some nice success working together in the past, and these new country brogues are a nice follow up to previous releases. Union has had a real fondness for blue soles, which we have seen them utilize a few times in the past, and we must admit that it adds a very nice splash to the footwear. The latest release comes in two colors — almond and burgundy — and they can be purchased now over at Union.

Take a further look after the jump.

The Alpine A110 Berlinette turns 50 years old this year and to celebrate the very special milestone, Renault has created this concept car based on that automobile. Designers attempted to incorporate some of the old classic design, but completely modernized. The power for this concept car somes from a mid-engine 3.5-liter V-6 that puts out 400 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque. Sounds pretty good to us!

Nike SB will be releasing a Stefan Janoski quickstrike sometime around mid-June called the ‘Wine Stained.’ The Janoski is one of Nike’s most solid styles from their skateboarding division and more times than not, we see it in either a solid or two-tone color combination. This new quickstrike version bucks that trend with a distinct pattern that almost resembles blood splatter. Either way, these look really good and we’re looking forward to the release of these. Check for them at select Nike SB retailers such as PLA.

Take another look after the jump.

Mark Hix’s East London restaurant, Tramshed, has installed quite the conversation piece with ‘Cock and Bull’ by Damien Hirst. The restaurant’s menu centers largely around chicken and beef dishes, so the title and subject matter of the work by Hirst is pretty spot on, as you can see from the images. A rooster sitting atop a cow preserved in formaldehyde, as part of Hirst’s ‘Natural History’ series can now be seen at Tramshed; and in addition to that, Hirst also created a painting entitled ‘Beef and Chicken’ depicting characters from ‘Cow and Chicken’ from the animated 1990s series on the Cartoon Network. If you’re out in East London, you can make reservations here.

Today, at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW announced their partnership with the time-honoured Milanese coachbuilder Zagato. The BMW Zagato Coupé fuses the design DNA of the two companies into a fresh and distinctive whole: a one-off model that is the product of many hours of hand-craftsmanship. Details such as the extremely long bonnet, double bubble roof and Kamm Tail are visually striking Zagato hallmarks that gives the car a distinctive and instantly recognizable personality.

Below the bonnet we see Zagato’s take on the BMW grille, where countless Zagato “z” letters to make up the kidney grille. The exclusive exterior paint finish, Rosso Vivace, is an expressive shade of red – depending on how the light hits the body, the color spectrum ranges from something close to black all the way to a brilliant red. Sealing the deal are two exclusive Zagato inspired accessories: a hat bag and a travel bag.

As you may have gathered from our previous coverage, a temporary pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival was inaugurated for the screening of Kanye West’s debut short film Cruel Summer. The pavilion, with a design led by Shohei Shigematsu of OMA, is a raised pyramid containing a seven-screen cinema designed by West’s creative team, Donda.

The pavilion is designed to immerse the audience in a space defined by seven screens of cinematic proportions (17′ x 17′, 17′x30”). Shot with a custom seven-camera rig in Qatar, Cruel Summer was envisioned for this space as a constellation of projections that wrap around the audience.

Located along Palm Beach, the pyramid’s canopy is hemmed to open up a panoramic backdrop of Cannes and the Mediterranean while creating an effect of levitation above the red carpet. Filmgoers ascend into the pyramid along a continuous red carpet that widens into the 200 seat auditorium.

The pyramid was open for two days of public screenings on May 24 and 25.

Ferrari on the outside, bike on the inside. This Fahrradi Farfalla FFX  by Han-Lan slaps on a beautiful Ferrari-esque body onto a bike making it one extremely slow moving vehicle. We say so because it would be pedaled by a person and with the additional weight of the body, well we’re sure the novelty of riding one of these around would wear off quickly. Anyway, it’s a neat concept and would be pretty cool to own one for the purposes of showing off.
