Apple announced yesterday their all new MacBook line-up. The entire MacBook series was updated in terms of design and also in terms of technology. The most interesting updates include the unibody enclosure, updated graphic cards and the LED display. The new MacBook comes in 13″ and 15″. In terms of looks we are very impressed, but then again, we did not expect anything else from Apple. In other goods news, the entry price of the MacBook series went down!

Following the Materials of the World Series, this one is dedicated to the flavors. Cooked up and delivered with the finest ingredients it takes away any sneaker fan’s senses.
February is inspired by Carnival of Venice, a festival symbolized by the wearing of masks. First recorded in 1268, where participants would travel the city incognito. Over the century this habit was prohibited and celebrations more controlled. It was resurrected in the late 1970’s, when a modern mask store began a revival and engaged the nation’s imagination. Visual, traditional elements include paper maché and gold leaf and feather decorations.
The revolutionary Micropacer from 1984 was a quantum jump at its time. Now he’s back with the legendary microcomputer including range finder and pedometer. It’s made of silver smooth leather on the top and has some nice lasering applications.

Black version combining nylon and leather parts with suede applications decently. The heel and insole come with a filigree ornament embroidery. Silhouettes of flying birds are embossed into the side parts. 
The nylon mesh tongue is covered by white leather elements with velcros. One reveals the micro computer, the other one a small pocket. These are now avaialble at Overkill.

As part of the Adidas Consortium Status Pack, Adidas will release in September the Micropacer Vertu. Featuring the first ever micro computer incorporated into a shoe, it’s still a landmark adidas design, and this luxury variation is made from a tastefully coloured oiled leather and breathable mesh combination that captures the feel of a handcrafted mobile phone. Inspired by the luxury mobile phone brand Vertu, that was launched by Nokia a few years ago, this Micropacer is something to look out for.

At first you might not recognize it, but this is the latest ThinkPad laptop. We have always been Apple fanatics, but when it comes to Windows based machines, you gotta love the Think Pad for its good reputation and mainly for its nice classic design.
The designer Richard Sapper designed this latest model and covered it in premium leathers. Of this limited edition computer (only 5000 have been produced) only 270 will be sold in France, all of which will be numbered and autographed by the designer, Richard Sapper. Where? Of course Colette.
