Wyclef Jean, devastated by the collapse of the capital of his nation, Port-Au-Prince is asking you for your help, by making a $5 donation by texting “Yele” to 501501, that directly goes the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund.

Play Cloths has designed limited edition shirts where 100% of the funds will be directly sent to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund. The t-shirt is now available at Play Cloths, it features Play Cloths iconic “Jack”, holding Haiti’s flag symbolizing for humanity’s rush to help the nation. The shirt will be only available for the week of January 15th to January 22nd, to send the donation funds quicker to Haiti.

Nissan Mixim at the NAIAS


The Nissan Mixim, a one-off compact concept car powered by a pair of innovative “Super Motor” electric motor/generators, makes its first U.S. appearance as part of the Michelin Challenge Design™ display at the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, January 11 - 24, 2010. The exterior styling is highlighted by LED driving lights, a wraparound windscreen inspired by the visor of a safety helmet, a dramatic angular slash running through the center of the doors and triangular side windows that link the sloping roofline with the sweptback rear hatchback. Inside, the innovative design continues with 3-person seating – with the driver sitting in the center position flanked by passenger seats on each side. An occasional fourth seat is available in the large rear cargo area. The Mixim’s steering wheel and gauges are inspired by computer game interface design, reflecting the young, technology engaged and connected target audience for the vehicle. Now if only I knew where to buy one…

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet at NAIAS

The highly attractive and emotionally charged Cabriolet is the latest addition to the successful Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup. The two-door convertible model, which goes on sale spring 2010 in the U.S., features a classic fabric soft top for that pure cabriolet feeling. Viewed from the side, the new model is stunning – with its clear proportions and flawless cabriolet silhouette. In keeping with the motto “four seasons, four people”, year-round usability was the top priority. With the new E‑Class Cabriolet, the open season lasts the whole year round. While many soft-tops disappear from the roads in the fall, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet (length/width/height: 185/70.3/55.2 inches) also provides driving pleasure and comfort with the roof closed.

Closer Look: adidas Consortium + UNDFTD Rod Laver OG

The adidas Consortium + UNDFTD Rod Laver OG is dropping tomorrow, January 16th. We just got them in so we wanted to give your a closer look. Hit UNDFTD for more info.

Info from adidas:

Following on from the success of the implementation in FW09 the Rod Laver OG is back due to popular acclaim and looks like becoming a staple item in the Consortium range moving forward.

Kicking things off amongst the US Consortium partners in January is LA’s UNDFTD with another understated take on the re-interpreted classic.

The rich, deep blue suede upper contrasts perfectly with the soft, caramel Italian leather lining - a touch that carries through to heel tab, trim and embossed Consortium logo on the sockliner.
Finished with the UNDFTD five bar logo and the Trefoil both embossed on the tongue, the shoe is a clean cut winner that is bound to be in high demand.
