At home with the avant-garde, Comme des Garçons shot by Namsa Leuba for i-D online. Having recently been awarded The School of Visual Arts grant at Hèyres, Leuba has rapidly gained fans for her unique, conceptual approach to photography. She describes “BAUHDA is a series that came from African inspiration, from the Bauhaus and Dada shapes and geometrical structures. I like to associate fashion, culture, and the cloth itself to my projects, and have an intuitive and free direction.” Take a look at the story in the gallery.

Take Your Pick: Michael Jordan’s Many Retirement Shoes (“Playoff” 8′s, “Last Shot” 14′s or “Sport Royal” 18′s)
Earlier this week brought the 10 year anniversary of Michael Jordan’s very final NBA game. This, of course, was not the first time MJ stepped away from the court. A decade later has left even his biggest fans a bit fuzzy as to the sequence of MJ’s retirements in relation to the kicks he donned before calling it quits for the last time. So here’s a recap before we ask you to choose your favorite Air Jordan retirement kicks.
Jordan’s first retirement, although short lived, came after his first of two 3 peats with the Chicago Bulls, in 1993. MJ and the Bulls defeated Sir Charles Barkley and the Phoenix Suns in six games, resulting in his 3rd NBA Finals championship and NBA Finals MVP. And he did it all in the Air Jordan “Playoff” 8.
His second retirement came after devastating the City of Salt Lake and the Utah Jazz (for the 2nd time) with “The Shot”, winning Jordan his sixth NBA title, coupled with his sixth Finals MVP. This time MJ chose to end it in the ‘Last Shot’ Air Jordan 14. This was thought to be his permanent retirement—but it wasn’t.
On September 25th, 2001, “His Airness” announced that he would be returning to the game he loves, this time as a Washington Wizard. MJ played two seasons with the Wizards and, although he proved he could still hang with the new talent of the league, his Wizards failed to make the playoffs both seasons. Michael’s final game came in April of 2003, in a 107-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Not quite as successful as his previous two exits, but he did so in style, wearing the “Sport Royal” Air Jordan 18′s.
Not only has Jordan had an amazing career, but he also had some amazing sneakers on the road to captivating a very accomplished style of play. So—take your pick. What was your favorite retirement moment? Which of the 3 games can you remember? And most of all, which sneakers where your favorites on his feet? Was it the Playoff 8′s? The Last Shot 14′s? Or the Sport Royal 18′s? Let us know!

Raymond Molinar – “The Boys” – Skateboard Video Shot on iPhone
Creativity runs through the veins of Raymond Molinar, not only is he a very talented professional skateboarder at Stereo, he is an avid enthusiast when it comes to taking photos and videos. So much so, he took it upon himself to challenge the latest technologies offered by Apple, namely the iPhone camera and iMovie software. With a fish-eye lens, clever editing and some filters added to the footage, the usually rough video has turned into an almost nostalgic VHS-like low quality treat. The skating in the video also corresponds to the style, dominated by ledge tricks and lengthy lines. With correct direction and execution, even just iPhone and iMovie is enough to make an impressive skate video. Check out the short film titled, The Boys, below.

It’s impossible not to acknowledge a certain sense of danger and the respect you have to have for this amazing animal.” See it all in the gallery and below.
