It’s our last day in the office today and, typically, it’s amazing outside. Makes it hard to get any work done when all anyone is thinking about is relaxing by a pool somewhere. We just about had a handle on it though, until the lucky bastards at Le Coq Sportif sent us this video of their Christmas party. It’s like they put a tiny camera inside the parts of our brains that imagine exactly where we’d rather be. By the way, we’re looking forward to some great new Le Coq product in HypeDC next year. Almost as much as we’re looking forward to 5.30 this afternoon.

Today we give love to one of our own. Michael, from our Brisbane store, makes sometimes dark sometimes playful images using photography and college. Right now he’s studying at university, but we see big things ahead. By the way, if any more of you out there are making stuff, be it fashion, art, music, whatever, let us hear about it. In the meantime, check out Michael’s work below, or at his blog: HAUNTED.

Looks like Blitzen (aka the number 1 reindeer in the world) is sick of being known as just another one of Santa’s helpers. Featuring Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and the voice of Lupe Fiasco. Stay tuned for more (hopefully).

Business Week and Woody from Sneaker Freaker have teamed up to give you their take on the years best sneakers. Not sure how into shoes Business Week is, but Woody’s participation ensures this list is legit. Our favourite is probably the adidas hight-top with metallic wings. Which is yours? Have a look and get back to us.
