Chrysler came correct this Super Bowl:
What a great commercial. I like how the marketing aspect didn’t overshadow the message.
Almost makes me want to buy a Wrangler Rubicon. Maybe if the price came down $15,000 I’d consider it…

Geometric Camouflage – Puzzle Them With Polygons
A.P.C. has that hotness for F/W:
I’d prefer it in a green colorway rather than the tan one pictured… but hey, I’m annoying and picky. All I know is that in this colorway you’ll be the only guy stunting hard looking like you fed your friends dog puzzle pieces and beer as a joke, and then it threw up all over your basic J. Crew cotton jacket.
$485 at Mr. Porter. I don’t set the prices or make the rules, but if Mr. Porter says it’s worth $485 I’m willing to believe it.

BAPE Two Face Plain / Camo Shark Chucks
The Bape Shark Ape Sta:
Yes that’s the same shoe… mind blowing huh? One side you’ve got your duck-esque BAPE camo, an eye and a mouth, then on the other side a classic navy (pictured) or black with the other half of the shark face. To make it even more mind blowing, the shoes are not even a mirror image of each other… on the right side you’ll just see camo, on the left side you’ll just see the solid color.
Available at BAPE retailers world wide. I’m too lazy to call any of them for the price because I’m assuming two things: 1) None of you care, because you don’t want them anyway, and 2) It’s safe to say they are going to be at least 20x more expensive than the Chuck Taylor All Stars they are based off.

Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage
Finally, a disruptive pattern aimed at pretentious people:
For years now I’ve been telling everyone who would listen, how much I like camouflage yet find it hard to wear because all the commoners wear it. What I needed was a distinct camouflage that was so expensive, when people saw it they just knew instantly that you were better than them. What company better to pull this off, than Louis Vuitton? They teamed up with Japanese pop-artist Takashi Murakami who came up with a pattern to throw the LV monogram on, and hit the ground running. Head over to Nitrolicious to see several more Monogramouflage pieces from the collection.
If I ever see it in the wild, you better believe that Keepall 55 (pictured) is an insta-cop.

Lehmann LA100 UAV
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle you can mount a GoPro camera on:
I’ve wanted a UAV even before the military started using them. They have always been ridiculously expensive, so when I saw the video for this one I immediately thought it would be more than $100. WRONG. 990€ ($1352 USD), which I suppose isn’t THAT bad. You still have to buy the camera though, and on top of it all if you check out the data sheet it will only fly autonomously. For the price, I’d really like the option of flying it around with a remote control.
More info on the LA100 over at Lehmann Aviation.I’m definitely going to wait until these come down into the $100-$200 range.

MAGPUL Ronin Motorcycle
A Buell by any other name wouldn’t be as sweet:
47 of these will be released in 2013 starting at $38000 each. My first impression is that it looks awesome! I googled the Buell 1125R (the bike which this is built of of) and saw the MSRP on it is only $12500. For more than triple the price, the Ronin damn well better be a lot more than just looks.
There isn’t much information at all on the Ronin Motorworks website currently.
