If you know, you know" First came the Adidas F50 boots in 2004 " Adi's answer to Nike's Mercurial Vapor "fronted by the likes of Ashley Cole and Djibril Cisse, and were a different kind of cool: minimal black-and-yellow efforts with a larger strike zone and no obvious inclusion of the iconic Three Stripes, unlike the Predator range.

The limited-edition Jackson Goldstone signature model is even more expensive, costing a whopping "249.99. From the moment I slipped on the Union Flats, I was hooked. They're lightweight, form-fitting and look like fashionable skate-style shoes rather than disco slippers.The traction from the Ultratac rubber soles is enough for all but the roughest downhill tracks, especially if you have some long, thin pedal pins. However, they're not as tenacious as…...

For many people alive and cogent in the 2010s, the latter is best exemplified by the wedge trainer " a form of high-top sports shoe that is now considered to be equal parts ugly and uncomfortable. As my friend put it, "Why would I suffer through wearing heels and it not be immediately obvious?"

Made with steel and plastic that costs a few pennies, but sold for a thousand percent profit, the razor market is the subject of vigorous academic study and debate. The founder of Gillette famously came up with a model of basically giving away the razor handle so he could sell the blades. Canadian startup Henson has the opposite model, charging $79 for a razor that can give you an excellent shave with dirt-cheap disposable blades that cost about 15 cents each. I've been using the Henson razor for the past three months, and it offers the best shave I've had up to this point in my life. Right now, Walmart is selling the device with enough blades to last you two years for just $80. Razors are always a…...

If you think there's something familiar about them, you're not alone. Seeing as I'm a fan of Phlur's fragrances (aren't we all?) and the Soft Scents lineup is seriously giving them a run for their money with blends like Whipped Cream and Sweet Strawberry, it's all the more impressive. I tested the wear time of each scent by always applying to my pulse points. They are all Eau De Parfums but some are EDPs and some are EDP intense. So, it's important to say, that these fragrances…...
