LeBron James will be taking home his fourth MVP title this year and in the process, becoming only the second player in NBA history to win four MVP titles in the span of five year. To mark this historic occasion, designers at Nike and its Nike Basketball division created a special LeBron X “MVP” edition. A culmination of LeBron’s past achievements, especially those during the 2012-13 season when he led the Miami Heat to a 27-game winning streak, the LeBron X “MVP” features all of the design details throughout the LeBron X product cycle since the new design’s introduction back in August 2012. And with launch of this special footwear, it is also Nike’s tribute to one of the greatest player the game of basketball seen thus far. More information about release available come soon.

This will be a winner – the new 2013 Tudor Heritage Chrono Blue.
Tudor were BaselWorld darlings back in 2010 when they unveiled their retro-tastic Tudor Heritage Chrono, a timely response to the demand for vintage-inspired chronographs, and one which quite rightly put Tudor back into the industry.
The Heritage Chono Blue 2013 model evolves the collection from slightly monochrome aesthetics, adding the vivacity of blue and orange to that handsome and dapper face.
The case measures up at 42mm across – a sminch larger that the 1970′s model on which it is based, but perfectly sized for today’s marketplace.
That delicious blue bezel is in fact bi-directional and features hour markers representing a second timezone.
Hands and markers are suitably chubby, there is empty dial space to be enjoyed, grippy pushers which beg to be fiddled with, and in the box is a choice of steel bracelet or NATO-style strap…. ’tis the whole package, is it not? Thanks to Sylvia McElherron and thewatchpress.com for the news.

Dolce&Gabbana have just opened their 5th Avenue flagship store with an exclusive event. Furnished like a Sicilian home, this stripped back, classic design embodies the journey the two designers have undertaken since 1987. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana talk New York, the American Dream and design.
Domenico Dolce: “We furnished it like it was our home, going back and forth between Milan and New York. A boutique, yes, but with many suggestive homely niches. The antique Baroque couches taken from a Sicilian dwelling. Here, on Fifth Avenue, in the middle of the city that never sleeps, three floors full of trunks. Objects which evoke memories of a less frenetic gone-by era, but also a place of dreams, the vessels of belongings of a lifetime: an invitation to slow down and enjoy all of this, and restore its meaning. In London, in the Bond Street store we even included a barber, In Milan we have a shoe smith, boutiques with that antique feel in which accuracy and luxury reside. We try to create an atmosphere where all of this can be appreciated, against the speed, the frenetic rush of the hyper-technology, of Twitter. Relaxing, going back to enjoying what is beautiful. To appreciate the attention to detail, the perfection of the craftsman which goes against that immediacy which makes everything the same, that loss of the sense of elegance which we have been dragging with us since the Eighties.”
Stefano Gabbana: “Its exciting to land on Fifth Avenue. Its certainly not our first American boutique, we a lot of stress, but its an imposing challenge, the biggest investment we have ever made. Extremely important, and not in terms of turnover. I’m not saying that money its not important to us, we’ve made plenty. One day, Domenico and I won’t be around anymore, and as we often say we have no interest in being the wealthiest people in the cemetery. We want to be remembered as the happiest.” Thanks to swide.com for the news.
