Gangsta BoomBox Sneakers

Gangsta culture has been inspired by the music that originated in Afro-American ghettos, and it has been quite glamorized by the mass media, along with Gangsta fashion, style etc which are dominated by bright colors, showy gadgets, chains and baggy clothes.
Geeks may now feel connected to Gangsta lifestyle through gadgets that are inspired by Hip-hop culture, and icons representing the sub-culture. Kristin Verby has used photography and 3D rendering in order to create these amazing and realistic gadgets that are inspired by Gangsta culture.

The series called “Gangsta Gadgets” includes sneakers, remote control, shower head and also a mouse. The Boombox Sneakers look showy like the NES Shoes and come with space to insert a DVD and play it. It seems like there would also be speakers to play music loud. It would be great to dance with the shoes on and music playing alongside.

Kontur Vase

The Kontur Vase is a unique item, silicone made, which provides a new approach for combining a flower vase and a small storage container for holding various items such as pencils or cotton sticks. This stylish vase is a flexible item, not only because it’s made out of silicone but also because it serves as an alternative to ceramics – giving the vase a soft touch while keeping its unique characteristics in place. It may be small (3”H x 4”W x 5.5”D) but it’s useful as well as beautiful.
