James Jean for Beats by Dre – You might know James Jean for Prada, or maybe its his work with The Hundreds, but there is definitely no doubt that the dude is blessed with talent. The latest to tap Jean’s unique style is Beats by Dre. The headphone makers tap the Taiwanese-American artist to ring in the lunar new year with pair of special edition Solo2 wireless headphones. This special Year of the Monkey edition uses the proverb of the three monkeys who “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” for inspiration and features silver flares across the white and grey base.

Bodega x ASICS – Bodega continues to show why they lead the charge in exclusive collaborations with another project with ASICS. The Boston-based store doesn’t shy away from color, but this time they tone it down for their “On the Road” GEL-Classic. The runner starts with a subdued tan base, with hues of brown and clay cleverly integrated across the panels. A bit of pale green is used for contrasting, while the ASICS logo is highlighted with a splash of purple to finish off this outdoor look. Look for the GEL-Classic to drop at Bodega next Saturday, January 9.

LG SmartThinQ Hub – LG has a smarthub up its sleeve for all those connected appliances and smart sensors in your home. The cylindrical device is similar to Amazon’s Echo by connecting to your WiFi and answering simple questions, but it also does more. With a 3.5 inch LCD, the SmartThinQ Hub has a 3.5 LCD to display reminders, and it has Bluetooth to connect to all those “smart” appliances to tell you when you’re out of milk, or when the washing machine is done with the latest load. Anyone who wants to live like the Jetsons can look forward to LG’s hub when it releases later this year.

The Ultra Boost sole keeps things comfortable, and for this round, adidas trims down on the three stripes logo across the quarter panel. The sleek runner benefits from the simple black upper; benefiting from different, yet functional, knitting patterns.
