PEUGEOT B1K CONCEPT BIKE

Peugeot celebrates its return to cycling with the concept B1K. Sculpted as a race bike, it features a chainless drivetrain, carbon fiber construction and scant few details on the rest of the design. What appears to be a tension cable or rod from the seat to the head tube likely keeps the bike’s wheels from doing a split when a rider’s weight is put on it, and the beam seat post likely provides some cush a la Softride. So, those tires. Maybe these are just warming blankets until they roll it out to the start line.

NIKE SPORTWEAR CORTEZ CLASSIC - YEAR OF THE TIGER

Here's the new limited edition Nike Tiger Cortez Classic shoes draw their inspiration from the Chinese Zodiac the year of the tiger, design to celebrate Chinese New Year 2561. Nike shoes are going to be released by Nike for the upcoming Chinese New Year on Feb. 10th and 13th respectively. The Nike Year of the Tiger Cortez Classic will be available on February 10th with limited shoebox package and on 13th with traditional Nike shoebox at select Nike Sportswear stores in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. On February 14, 2010, for the year of the Tiger, the Nike designers took a new approach to interpreting the tiger. Instead of using the popular yellow stripe print, they used white tiger to reflect its image of power and prestige in Chinese traditional culture. The Year of the Tiger Nike Sportswear Cortez Classic is limited available only 100 pairs.

The Year of the Tiger Cortez Classic is the 9th design and the first Cortez shoe adopted in the series. As Nike’s first running shoe, Cortez has been well known for its comfort, lightweight and heritage.
