Certainly, there are many cities in the world that have double decker buses, especially those that were a part of the great British Empire like Singapore and Hong Kong. But, the red double decker bus is quite a British icon, and the classic transport gets a facelift today as a new double-decker was unveiled at the London Transport Museum by Brois Johnson, the Mayor of London.

The new double-decker is updated to a 21st century relevance without losing the original Routemaster touch and charm. The new bus is manufactured by Wrightbus, and features an open platform in the back which marks the return of the classic “hop-on-hop-off” service.

Check out the full collection of images at endclothing’s flickr after the jump.

New York downtown skate staple, Supreme, is not only know for its good taste and reign in the skateboarding world, as one of the forefathers in aiding the development of the street skating, but has grown to be an international presence. Supreme has been collaborating with Nike for a few years now, and generally releases a sneaker or two every year or so, but this time, the duo take their partnership to a whole new level and attempted (and perfectly executed) something never done before– create a brand new silhouette. And mind you, the new Supreme x Nike SB 94 is not just a fresh sneaker in terms of shape, but has broken many grounds as well.

Futura 2000′s Iconography artwork, which notably appeared on a bike created for Lance Armstrong, now comes to a case for the iPhone 4. Available from Futura Laboratories, the Air Jacket for iPhone 4 has a very sleek profile, and is available in either solid black, or clear/black.

Yesterday, images of a miniature “Passing Through” Companion sculpture, logging in at ten inches surfaced online. The said model was believed to be a probably make of the original over-sized “Passing Through” sculpture that was displayed at Hong Kong’s Harbour City for KAWS‘ “Passing Through” exhibition not too long ago. While many were speculating the authenticity and wondering about the possible release date of this miniature, desk-friendly number, KAWS had posted on his blog that this blacked-out, dwarf version is a bootleg. Such is the life of toys and art these days– perhaps the only upside is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? via: KAWS

No, its not the inner working of the search engine giant, though that would make a fascinating story, but its the company’s celebration of x-ray discovery, found and replicated by German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen on this day in 1895. He later won the 1901 Nobel Prize in Physics. Who says science can’t be cool?
