Rolls Royce two door concept

 

Love that designer spent more attention on the steering column. The asymmetric spoke is deja vu of the iconic Citroen DS

S1 Lotus Esprit reimagined by Encor design




The iconic design is back and looks even cleaner. I do think the black side moulding was key element of the good design thought. We should ask Giugiaro about it.

Nike Mind 002 Sneaker

Gemini said: 
The Nike Mind 002 stands out because it's designed for your brain as much as your feet. While most sneakers focus on physical performance (like running faster or jumping higher), these are built for "pregame" mental preparation and sensory grounding.

Here is what it does differently:

  • Sensory Nodes: The core feature is a set of 22 specific nodes underfoot. These move up and down to push against your foot, which Nike claims activates sensory areas of the brain to help you stay present.

  • Mental Focus: It is marketed to help you "get out of your head" and connect with your surroundings, rather than just providing energy return or stability for sports.

  • Specific Comfort: It uses a stretchy footbed fabric specifically designed to let those sensory nodes move while keeping the feel soft.

  • APMA Seal: It has the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance, meaning it's verified to promote good foot health.

Basically, it's a recovery and prep shoe meant to help you relax and focus, not a shoe for playing the actual game in.
