Do you want to be ecologically aware? Then buy Adidas sneakers. Yes, you read that right. Adidas is going green with eco sports shoes made from marine waste and fishing nets. At the same time, the German manufacturer of sports shoes teamed up with the environmental organization Parley For The Oceans and produced concept sneakers that are almost entirely made of plastic marine waste and discarded fishing nets. Part of the fishing nets has an even more interesting story.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
The World Architecture Festival 2015 (World Architecture Festival, WAF), which this time takes place in Singapore, will not announce the winning architectural solution until November, so all the nominees are already known. But since there are a total of 338 finalists for the most interesting new architectural solution, we made our own strawberry selection of the most interesting new buildings in the world that shone in the last year.
Of course, there are established rules of table manners, but restaurant etiquette around the world still varies from culture to culture. For example, in France bread belongs on the table and not on the plate, and in Italy it is a sin to ask for Parmesan cheese at dinner. Also check the other rules of table manners so that you know how to act when dining in a foreign restaurant so that you don't make fun of yourself or offend someone unnecessarily.
Three years ago, it was necessary to shell out mountains of money and send a loud and rather large unmanned aerial vehicle into the air for high-quality aerial shots with a drone. Today, thanks to Extreme Flyer's Micro Drone 3.0, you can capture the action in 720p quality with one of the world's smallest drones. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo for a calculated 135 euros.
Patterns on the surface of coffee have not been anything special for a long time, but they make us happy every time. The waiters regularly draw hearts, smileys and similar patterns, because they know that the appearance of the food, or in this case the drink, is just as important as the taste. Therefore, real works of art are created on the surface of the coffee. But the Ripples device, the art of drawing on the surface of coffee, raises the level even higher, because with the help of 3D technology and inkjet printers, it creates extremely precise creations and everything our heart desires.
Vittorio Brumotti is back. A professional trials cyclist who owns a hefty pile of Guinness World Records and is one with the bike, comes a new compilation of freestyle road bike tricks. This time in the jersey of the professional cycling team Tinkoff-Saxo, for which the Spaniard Alberto Contador and the Slovak Peter Sagan ride, among others, who also master freestyle on the road, but do not reach the knees of the Italian, who this time takes his breath away with tricks in the airport cemetery, on the protective road fences on the cliff and in the forest.
Cliff houses are nothing new. In the Middle Ages, countless castles grew on them, even today many people, admittedly not out of strategic aspirations, build a house on the edge of a precipice. But Casa Brutale on the coast of the Aegean Sea adds a new dimension to cliff houses. It does not lie on but in the cliff, and in addition, it acts as if it were rotated by 90 degrees. The concept is the work of OPA.
Does the last name Creed sound familiar? What about Apollo Creed? Yes, you guessed it, it's Rocky's arch-rival and later friend Balboa from the Rocky movies. The sports drama Creed is the seventh part of this franchise, which launched the actor Sylvester Stallone among the stars, but this time he is not the only central character. The main role also belongs to Michael B. Jordan (Fantastic Four), the son of Apollo Creed, who wants to follow in his father's boxing footsteps.
In motorcycles, we are used to rounded and aerodynamic lines. But when you want a graphic designer, things are turned upside down and you get a square-shaped motorcycle like this Thrive Motorcycles workshop, called the T 005 Cross, based on the 2008 Yamaha Scorpio. .
Remember the iPod? The music player that revolutionized music sales and publishing? Recently, Apple removed the mentioned category from the website and hid it under the Apple Music tab, but it seems that even in the age of smartphones, which have eaten away most of its users, they are not yet to be discarded. How else is one to interpret the photos that Apple has leaked online, from which it can be understood that the technological giant is apparently reviving the product that made Apple's name long before smartphones became annual investments.
Google Earth, or Google Earth, as we call it, is celebrating 10 years! Yes, you read that right. It was written on June 28, 2005, which forever changed our behavior and outlook on the world. To mark the occasion, Google engineers have added 1,500 new photos to the Google Earth Earth View "library," where they collect the most stunning aerial images captured by their satellites, and we've rounded up some of the best.
For more than 40 years, Parisians had to wait for a new skyscraper, but after 1973, a new one will start to grow. The controversial triangular building Tour Triangle was signed by the Herzog & de Meuron office, which revealed the original plans for it back in 2008. The facility will have 120 hotel rooms, an eminent restaurant, a bar and 70,000 square meters of business space. With a height of 180 meters, it will become the third tallest building in Paris.
