Check out these awesome sketches that Rime aka Jersey Joe did recently. He found a bunch of abandoned arrest records strewn about an old police station in the Highland Park section of Detroit. Re-appropriating them for his own usage, Rime doodled characters and designs that played off of what the arrest was for. These look so sick! Check em’ all out below.

Traveling with a laptop isn’t fun, or convenient or anything less than a complete pain in the ass, but it’s also necessary in the age where you better be able to send a TPS report at 3 am even when you’re on vacation. Once you finally get off the clock and through security you have to worry about your (or the company’s) precious investment and what’s going to happen in bags, cabs and overhead bins. BUILT NY’s new MX Sleeve 13″ for the MacBook Pro will give you enough peace of mind to forget about the laptop and actually enjoy that third margarita. It’s made of a blend of ultralight EVA to protect it from bumps and bruises and has a honeycomb exoskeleton that allows it to breathe while still doing it’s job. There’s also a layer of mesh on the inside to protect that unibody aluminum sheen that you’ve grown to love.

Louisville Slugger and PRO-Keds, two classic American companies have joined forces to create, what we believe, is a solid lookin’ sneaker inspired by baseball. They chose the Royal Hi as their base and took inspiration from their favorite sport, incorporating a baseball glove leather upper, rawhide leather laces, a cork footbed, and baseball cross-stitching throughout. It is finished off with an embossed Louisville Slugger logo on the side, a special co-branded package and a mini baseball bat keychain. Need we say more?

We remember the very first time we saw a cell phone. It was summer sleepover camp and we were in the backwoods of Maine, far from civilization. (Or it least it seemed that way!) On the first day of camp, the adults were going over all the important details, including that if we had an emergency and needed to call for an ambulance Mr. Jones had a mobile phone. And sure enough, he lifted this… brick of a device. Our eyes were like dinner plates. This was a phone. A MOBILE PHONE. Whoa.

If you’d like to relive the days of having the ultimate status symbol, slip your iPhone into this chunky, brick-like case. It’s not going to fit in your pocket or your purse, but if your backpack or briefcase is big enough, you might have some luck. Don’t worry, though, the Retro iPhone case still allows you to access all of your 21st-century features. We’re definitely picking up one of these to use at 80s costume parties.

Available HERE for $14.99.
