Nike’s iconic Air Max 95 is now a 1,213-piece LEGO set complete with hidden storage

Posted on by

There’s some magic about the LEGO-Nike that makes it so special. Just in time for the holiday season and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95, Nike struck a partnership with LEGO for the dope LEGO-themed Air Max 95 “Neon” sneaker. Sometime mid-year in 2025, the duo turned eyeballs with the ⁠Nike Dunk x LEGO Set and then later dropped another couple of LEGO x Nike sets for collectors.

Now, the two giants have struck another partnership to create a detailed Nike Air Max 95 x LEGO set. The original Air Max 95, designed by Sergio Lozano in 1995, famously drew inspiration from the human anatomy. The layered upper mirrors muscle fibers, the lace loops resemble ribs, and the midsole represents the spine. The silhouette remains highly sought after among sneaker collectors, and recreating a LEGO version of the shoe makes complete sense.

Designer: LEGO x Nike

Comprising 1,213 pieces, the LEGO set complements the LEGO-themed Air Max 95 sneaker we talked about earlier. The signature grey gradient, Air bubbles, and the contrasting neon yellow and green inserts on the sides come to life as the LEGO set is pieced together. The brick-built model faithfully recreates the sculpted midsole and the signature wavy upper that made the original sneaker instantly recognizable. LEGO also includes a Nike-branded minifigure to reinforce the playful crossover between sneaker culture and brick-building. Once you put it together, the sneaker measures roughly 9 x 12 x 7 inches and can be displayed on the rotating stand or simply put on the prime desk spot to celebrate the brand’s success with high-top and low-top Dunk sneakers. The build also features a brick-built ‘AIR’ logo bubble, and the rotating display stand mimics the kind of pedestal sneaker collectors use to showcase prized pairs.

The co-branding on the set is apparent on the insole, and the airmax logo on the lip. LEGO has gone one step further with the minifigure being customizable, and the extra set of laces. The wide purple base mentioned earlier has hidden compartments to store the set of laces or an extra minifigure. Turn the shoe and the compartment is visible, which is a unique addition to this already intricate LEGO set. The Nike Air Max 95 LEGO set is available right away for $100 from their official website.

This collaborative effort ultimately celebrates the Air Max 95 not just as footwear but as a cultural artifact that continues to inspire new forms of creative expression. By translating the sneaker’s layered design language into LEGO bricks, the set offers collectors and sneaker enthusiasts a fresh way to engage with one of Nike’s most influential silhouettes.

Freelander reincarnates as an all-electric off-road SUV with six models planned

Posted on by

The Freelander name is making a comeback after more than a decade, but its return marks a significant shift from its original identity. Once a compact SUV within the Land Rover lineup, the Freelander has been revived as an independent electrified vehicle brand through a joint venture between Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Chinese automaker Chery.

Rather than reintroducing the vehicle under the Land Rover badge, the two companies are positioning Freelander as a separate marque focused on a new generation of electrified SUVs, with global ambitions but an initial focus on the Chinese market. The revival is led by the Concept 97, a name that references the original Freelander’s debut in 1997. Although the new vehicle does not carry Land Rover branding, its styling retains visual cues associated with the brand’s off-road heritage.

Designer: Freelander

The concept features a boxy silhouette, upright stance, and rugged proportions reminiscent of classic Land Rover SUVs, while also integrating modern lighting elements and a more futuristic design language. Details such as the angled D-pillar nod to the three-door Freelander from the late 1990s, blending nostalgia with contemporary aesthetics. The project represents a deeper collaboration between JLR and Chery, combining British design expertise with Chinese electric-vehicle technology and manufacturing capabilities.

JLR contributes design direction and brand heritage, while Chery provides the underlying platforms, powertrain technology, and large-scale production. The vehicles will be produced at the Chery-Jaguar Land Rover joint-venture facility in Changshu, China, which will become the manufacturing base for the new lineup. Unlike the original Freelander, which relied on traditional internal-combustion engines, the reborn lineup is centered on electrification. The new models are expected to use an advanced 800-volt platform capable of supporting multiple powertrain configurations, including fully electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and range-extended electric systems.

This flexibility allows the brand to adapt to varying market demands and regulatory environments while maintaining a focus on off-road capability and performance. On the Inside, Concept 97 emphasizes a technology-driven cabin designed for comfort and connectivity. The vehicle features a three-row layout with six seats, including a rear bench styled like a lounge couch. A pillar-to-pillar display runs along the base of the windshield, complemented by a large central infotainment screen. Advanced electronics play a major role in the user experience, with systems powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8397 chip and Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent-driving technology. This is assisted by a high-resolution LiDAR sensor for advanced driver-assistance features.

The Concept 97 is not intended to be a standalone showcase. Instead, it previews an entire product strategy built around a family of electrified SUVs. The Freelander brand plans to launch six production models over the next five years, beginning with a three-row SUV similar to the concept. These vehicles will initially target Chinese buyers before gradually expanding into international markets with region-specific models. What began as an entry-level Land Rover has now evolved into a standalone electric SUV brand, signaling how legacy automotive names are being reimagined for the rapidly changing landscape of global mobility.

Hyundai Boulder off-road SUV has Bronco and Wrangler in its crosshair

Posted on by

Hyundai has clearly shown its keen interest in off-road SUVs with the Crater concept, and now, to celebrate four decades of success in the United States, it has another capable machine. At the 2026 New York auto show, the Korean automaker took the wraps off the Boulder concept, which is based on the body-on-frame-constructed platform.

With this move, their ambitions to target the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler are clear. They aim to debut a mid-sized pickup truck by 2030 based on this construction. According to Hyundai, they want the Boulder to be a fusion of sleek lines and boxiness. For this, they’ve gone with a body frame design philosophy called “Art of Steel.” At first glace you can tell the shapes resemble the Bronco with the addition of design elements adapted from bigger off-roaders. The latter can be associated with the roof-mounted safari windows of the Land Rover Defender.

Designer: Hyundai

According to Hyundai at the reveal event, the future body-on-frame vehicles are going to be designed, developed, and built in America, using Hyundai’s US Steel. The SUV’s bold design took shape at Hyundai Design North America, led by a Southern California-based team. The focus here is on targeting the off-road fanatics and newbies who are venturing on their maiden journeys on virgin terrains. At the event, Hyundai Motor Company president and CEO, José Muñoz, said, “The Boulder Concept demonstrates how Hyundai is seeking to give American customers more of what they want.” Jose believes that body-on-frame vehicles are the backbone of American culture, and they want to bring capable midsize pickup vehicles to the region with all their might.

Adventure is at the core of the Boulder with rear-hinged coach doors for loading and unloading gear. The dual-hinged rear tailgate can also be opened from either side to accommodate bigger adventure gear. For an airy feeling, the rear windows can be rolled down. The off-road SUV rides on 37-inch mud-terrain tires, and the ground clearance, as well as the approach and departure angles, look aggressive. Although there are no official numbers on that from Hyundai, they still look impressive. According to SangYup Lee, Head of Hyundai and Genesis Global Design Center, Boulder is a “four-wheeled love letter to the dynamic, off-road way of life.”

Just like the IONIQ 3, based on the advanced steel technology, the Boulder’s Art of Steel design base is poised to attract off-roading enthusiasts who want a reliable 4×4 off-roader. Adding features like a tow hook and low-profile roof rack is a given since this vehicle is built for tough adventures. The rear window, which drops down to fit long objects like a canoe or to facilitate ventilation, signals the brand’s interest in building an elaborate ecosystem. The platform should accommodate combustion, electric, and hybrid options, which holds well for the brand’s future in the West.

On the inside, the SUV’s cabin carries a retro-futuristic vibe. There’s a full-width heads-up display showing the vital vehicle metrics, and the dashboard has small square displays with physical input for a more tactile feel. Other details about the concept are shrouded in mystery for now, and it’ll be interesting to see the developments as they unfold.

This all-in-one PC concept reimagines how the monitor looks and functions

Posted on by

It’s not easy to create a workstation that reflects your personality, and it’s even harder to keep one organized. While the former is entirely a personal choice involving handpicked equipment, the latter depends on readily available solutions that make decluttering possible. Kakao, an all-in-one PC that utilizes the space behind the monitor for storage, presents itself as a godsend for achieving just that.

At the rendering stage at the time of writing, Kakao has a long way to go, if ever, to see the light of day. But from how it appears in pictures shared on the internet, this is a desk setup of the future, which draws some inspiration from the past when monitors or all-in-one PCs were more than slim panels we own these days.

Designer: Design Burger

Conceived on two metal stands, this all-in-one PC appears in a boxy form with storage and computer innards tucked behind the monitor. If you are someone who is often bothered by the awkward space behind the monitor, which has no purpose because it’s either too shallow to store something or too cluttered with wires, and you don’t want to add to the visual displeasure, then the Kakao is what you should be looking at with interest.

It turns the often-ignored space behind the monitor into a useful space with its design that is a combination of a PC and a storage cabinet. The furniture integrated all-in-one PC reimagines how the monitor looks and functions: instead of leaving the space vacant, Kakao extends the screen into a horizontal enclosure that houses computer parts along with storage for everyday things.

I am not definite about how we are supposed to use the Kakao on the desk with all that bulk, but once it is there, there is definitely going to be less clutter. I can already see my Bluetooth speaker, power strip, gaming controller, pen stand, and other stationery disappearing from my desk into the cabinet.

I’m not sure about the monitor’s screen size or the computing components we are getting with it. However, that the PC has a mirror-polished stainless steel frame with PVD finish. The horizontal cabinet is completely closed on the side where the computer innards sit, while the other half has a mesh panel that ensures the heat can flow out and there’s no hindrance in using the computer.

On the front, the monitor slides sideways to reveal or conceal the storage shelves inside. The Kakao speakers and power slot are placed on the bottom panel, while the connectivity ports are seen on the side. The latter I believe, is a terrible idea. Ports on the side of the storage cabinet will end up allowing cables to clutter outside the all-in-one PC, defying its actual purpose. I think overall it is a decent idea, and the designer will think about getting the ports on the inside with cable cutouts to ensure decluttering.

Evercade Nexus upgrades retro gaming with widescreen play and refreshed modern controls

Posted on by

For retro gaming enthusiasts, few platforms have embraced nostalgia with the same dedication as the Evercade lineup. Developed by Blaze Entertainment, the Evercade ecosystem has steadily carved out a niche by doing something many modern gaming platforms have abandoned, delivering classic games through collectible physical cartridges.

Since the original Evercade gaming handheld console arrived in 2020, the brand has built a reputation for preserving classic titles while presenting them in a curated, officially licensed format. Now the company is taking a more ambitious step forward with the Evercade Nexus, a device designed to modernize the handheld experience without losing the retro soul that defines the platform.

Designer: Evercade

The Nexus is a significant leap in hardware compared to earlier Evercade devices. One of the most noticeable changes is the 5.89-inch IPS screen (with 840×512 resolution) having a wider 16:9 aspect ratio. Previous Evercade systems focused primarily on the classic 4:3 format used by older consoles, but the wider screen allows the Nexus to better support enhanced versions of classic games as well as titles that benefit from a broader viewing area. The larger display also improves overall comfort for handheld play, giving retro games more space while maintaining the pixel clarity enthusiasts expect.

Controls have also received a major update. For the first time in the Evercade lineup, the Nexus includes dual analog sticks alongside the traditional D-pad and face buttons. While retro gaming is often associated with simpler control layouts, the addition of analog sticks expands the handheld’s compatibility with early 3D titles and games that demand more precise movement. The system also introduces TATE mode, allowing the console to be rotated vertically. This feature is particularly useful for classic arcade shooters originally designed for upright cabinets, recreating their intended orientation on a handheld device.

Under the hood, the Evercade Nexus runs on a quad-core processor clocked at around 1.5GHz. Power comes from a 5,000mAh battery that provides roughly five hours of gameplay on a single charge, while modern conveniences such as wireless headphone support bring the device closer to contemporary handheld expectations without sacrificing portability. Another notable addition is EverSync, a wireless multiplayer feature that allows two Nexus systems to connect locally. With EverSync, players can temporarily share a game from a single cartridge so both devices can participate, offering a simple way to enjoy multiplayer titles without requiring multiple copies.

Like every Evercade device, the Nexus remains fully compatible with the platform’s growing library of physical cartridges. The ecosystem now includes more than 700 officially licensed retro games spread across dozens of curated collections from classic publishers and arcade developers. Instead of relying on digital downloads, the Evercade philosophy continues to center on physical ownership and preservation. At launch, the Evercade Nexus will include a special cartridge featuring enhanced versions of classic titles such as Banjo‑Kazooie and Banjo‑Tooie, optimized for the handheld’s widescreen display.

Evercade Nexus handheld is up for preorder at $199.99 with release set for October 2026, which is a long time away if you are already curious. You can also go for the $229.99 Nexus 64 Edition, which boasts an exclusive Hard Shell EVA Case themed with the Evercade Nexus 64 Edition style, screen protectors, and of course, the certificate of authenticity. It is going to be limited to 2,000 units with pre-order availability on Funstock.

Life-sized LEGO Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider has a naturally aspirated V12 engine and working headlights

Posted on by

You can keep all the LEGO builds on one side and the life-sized version on the other; the latter will always be more impressive. The McLaren P1 driven by Lando Norris, and the Ferrari Monza SP1 are prime examples of cars that look better in their LEGO-ized version. The Moza SP1, designed specifically as a LEGOLAND installation, now has a better installation to be jealous of.

LEGOLAND New York has got its functional LEGO 12Cilindri Spider as a part of the Build and Race experience, thanks to a collaboration between LEGO Master Model Builders and Ferrari. The 1:1 scaled replica of the convertible flagship is powered by the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine, producing 819 horsepower. At first glance, you will realize the intricacy of this LEGO build, which looks like a pixelated version of the real thing.

Designer: Ferrari and LEGO

The Master Model Builders put in more than 2,300 hours to build the largest-ever LEGO Ferrari on the planet, meticulously assembling 554,767 bricks. This highly detailed build, modeled on the 12Cilindri Spider, weighs 1,800 kg. It is heavier than the real car, which tips the scales at 1,620 kg. Realism of the LEGO version is surreal as it truly captures the front muscularity and the rear haunches of the sports car without leaving anything to nitpick. The long bonnet if the performance four-wheeler is true to the original version.

It gets functional headlights, carbon ceramic brakes, door handles, a license plate done in white and blue patchwork, and draped in the eye candy Rosso Corsa hue. The interior is contrasted in crème color with a ultra detailed steering wheel and the signature Manettino dial. If that doesn’t impress you much, the car has a real car base with the naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 (F140HD), which generates 678 Nm torque at 9,250 rpm. Visitors can open the vehicle’s doors and sit, but not drive the thing, which is understandable given the amount of horsepower it has under the hood.

The most amazing bit is that you can build mini versions of the LEGO 12Cilindri Spider, and drive the car on interactive test ramps at the 15- acres Hudson Valley LEGOLAND. One can test their versions on physical ramps or the digitally scanned tracks of the Fiorano circuit, which is the next best thing to driving the real car.

This $4,500 NASA Watch Reads Time Through a Prism and Only 100 Exist

Posted on by

There are a few driver’s watches as acceptable and undeniably luring as the Amida Digitrend, first launched way back in 1976 (the same year when Apple was born). The fanfare had Amida and watch designer Matthieu Allègre revisit the timepiece in 2024, and now, to commemorate its 50th year since launch, the Digitrend is revived in a NASA Tribute mechanical watch.

The watch lands with a NASA logo slapped right on the doomed top, where you would otherwise find a dial on the other watches. The Digitrend, being a driver’s watch, features the dial placed perpendicular to the wrist for better visibility while driving. “Our inspiration comes from the iconic ceramic tiles covering the space shuttle’s exterior, to protect it against the brutal heat of atmospheric reentry,” the company notes.

Designer: Amida

The new, special edition timepiece is called the Amida Digitrend NASA Tribute and is designed to capture the spirit of the era of the Space Shuttle, “when humanity dared to reach for the stars.” Of course, the watch carries the same spirit and approach of the original Amida Digitrend of 1976, but the new one is now a direct tribute to space travel, which reflects first up on the white retro-futuristic watch face featuring the vibrant red NASA logotype, a nod to an era for the agency from 1975 to 1992.

Ready for takeoff, the Digitrend NASA Tribute features the same jumping hour and trailing minutes aperture on the perpendicular dial, which remains as it has always been on the watch series. The watch features a 40mm black DLC-faceted metallic monobloc case featuring a ceramic top shell. This atypical display and the case shape are both inspired by classic sports cars and modern architecture.

Made to be durable, the watch is powered by a Soprod Newton P092 automatic caliber, which is visible in action through the transparent caseback, and offers a 44-hour power reserve. The movement is connected to Amida’s in-house jumping hour disc comprising nine mechanical components that create a classic digital display. The watch comes paired with a matching strap featuring a black DLC steel buckle and a secure hook-and-loop fastening system. The strap is made of black leather and has quilted white nylon in the center.

The Amida Digitrend NASA Tribute is strictly limited to just 100 examples. A homage to the ingenuity of the space program, it is available at Amida for CHF 3,400 (approximately $4,500). The watch touts 50m water resistance and is actually priced exclusively because it is aimed at collectors and timepiece appreciators.

Prattline Launches $55K Low Tow caravan with rugged build and two-shell expanding design

Posted on by

The trailer industry is moving beyond wooden and wood-based, aluminum-skinned caravans toward more rugged, corrosion- and rot-resistant hard-bodied construction. Other features gaining popularity in hard-sided trailers include auto-lifting roofs and compact models that expand at the sides and rear to increase living space. A pioneer of the former, Prattline in Australia, is revisiting its lineup of lifting-roof models with the launch of the new Low Tow for off-road travel.

The 2026 Low Tow is a compact off-roading camping trailer designed for lightweight towing. It is cut out for the farthest and remotest adventures with a two-shell design featuring sliding walls for low drag and a comfortable ride on all types of roads.

Designer: Prattline RV

The Low Tow with its dual shell body – an upper shell that resides over the lower shell – can ride low, and when at the camp, the upper shell can lift up to create a full-height camping form factor. The past generations of the Prattline Low Tow travel trailers used hydraulic cranks to lift the roof. The new generation model does the lifting and lowering of the roof electronically at the touch of a button. Resulting in a swift and instant transition.

The trailer measures under 23 feet in length, and with the roof open, the caravan becomes 9.2 feet tall. When the upper shell is closed, it is only 6.2 feet high on the inside. It folds down without disturbing the layout, furniture, or any other element on the inside. A highlight here is the caravan’s two-piece Dutch door. The vertically sliding two-part door closes and opens without hindrance of any kind, and stays flush to the body for ease of driving.

The Low Tow features a fiberglass frame, has double-glazed windows, and an anti-rot honeycomb flooring on the inside. Since it is built for off-roading, the caravan is based on a tapered galvanized chassis, features a 2,600 kg rated independent coil suspension, and twin shock absorbers. The caravan, characterized by a high ground clearance chassis, has a slide-out galley complete with a four-burner gas stove, sink, and an expandable worktop with drying rack below.

It doesn’t mean the interior is devoid of a kitchen. A little section on the inside is earmarked for the kitchen, equipped with a dual-burner induction, 12V compressor fridge, and a sink with a cover to double as a prep area. The temperature indoors is maintained by an air-conditioning and heating unit, while its 80L fresh and gray water tanks take care of the water requirements. Power needs are handled by a 600Ah LFP battery powered by a 600W solar panel and a 2,000W inverter.

A wet bathroom with a fabric upper body that collapses when lowering the roof is an interesting part of the Low Tow, which resides next to the primary bed. The cabin, outlined with modern furnishing and interlocking cabinetry, has a double island bed with a high-density foam mattress measuring 200 cm × 150 cm. A dinette just nearby can be converted to create a second bed. Other interesting features of the new AU$79,990 (about $55,000) Low Tow include an outdoor shower and a smart TV for entertainment.

Nothing-Inspired A X1 keyboard concept is a creative control hub that maintains its minimalist appeal

Posted on by

Nothing’s unique design language has inspired many gadgets and concept designs, and this one is no different. Just like the Nothing NK-1 keyboard which follows the brand’s transparent aesthetics, the minimalist form factor, and the signature font, this concept keyboard is one for fans who have always wanted a Nothing keyboard.

This concept looks like an inspirational cocktail of Nothing and Teenage Engineering with the color choices and the knobs. The designer calls it the A X1 keyboard, and I absolutely love the idea since so many keyboards go for the trending RGB backlit formats. This one stands out for its minimalist yet nerdy vibe.

Designer: Fadi Alagi

The left side of the keyboard is occupied by the knobs, a slider for toggling functions, and a small circular display showing the current tools in software applications. These include color picker, text selection, cropping, eraser and other contextual commands that can change depending on the software being used. By dedicating a small control hub to the side, the concept emphasizes workflow efficiency while keeping frequently used functions within easy reach.

The compact display plays an important role in making the keyboard feel more interactive. Instead of relying solely on key combinations or on-screen menus, the display offers quick visual feedback for selected tools and settings. This allows users to move between functions without breaking their creative flow, which could be especially useful for designers, editors, and digital artists who often rely on rapid tool switching.

Visually, the keyboard continues to echo Nothing’s recognizable aesthetic language. Subtle graphic markings and carefully spaced typography reinforce the clean, futuristic feel, while the restrained color accents add personality without overwhelming the overall minimalism. The physical knobs further enhance the tactile experience. Instead of treating the keyboard purely as a typing tool, the design imagines it as a broader control interface for creative workflows. Rotating knobs could potentially adjust parameters such as volume, brush size, timeline scrubbing, or zoom levels depending on the active application, making the keyboard more versatile than conventional models.

RAI’s Roadrunner wheeled robot can roll and walk with effortless precision

Posted on by

RAI (Robotics and AI) Institute has built a new bipedal-wheeled robot prototype that gives us a glimpse of what versatile legs with efficient wheels can be. Designed for multi-mode locomotion, the Roadrunner weighs roughly 15 kilograms (33 pounds). Owing to its design and configuration, the robot on wheels with a set of symmetric legs can switch mobility modes based on the navigation requirement.

Roboticists are already racking their brains on developing humanoids to get work done in households. Now, with the possibility of a robot like the Roadrunner, we are definitely headed in the direction of smarter robots that thrive on agility and dexterity, and are designed to go where it’s dangerous for humans to venture. A few robotic options, in the shape of animals et al., that have semantic understanding of their surroundings have been around for a few years, but the bipedal-wheeled robot is really in a different league.

Designer: RAI

The brainchild of the Massachusetts-based institute, the Roadrunner robot is in the prototype stage, but it has moves to impress. If you don’t believe my word, take a look at the video (above) doing rounds on social media. The robot is designed to seamlessly switch between side-by-side and in-line wheel modes and stepping configurations, based on the environment it is navigating. “A single control policy” is “trained to handle both side-by-side and in-line driving,” RAI informs.

From the demonstration video, you can easily figure out the remarkable versatility of the Roadrunner. The combination of the balance on its legs and the efficiency of its wheels really allows us to watch the robot’s multi-modal locomotion properties being pulled off in style. This is possible because of the robot’s symmetrical knee joints and legs that permit it to avoid obstacles easily.

Roadrunner is able to effortlessly stand up from various ground positions and walk or roll on its wheels. It can step over obstacles with the same convenience. What really blew my mind is the robot’s balance; the ease with which it can stand up on a single wheel. All of these were successfully deployed zero-shot on the hardware,” performing every task without specific prior training for them.

RAI Institute plans to use the Roadrunner as a research platform, an agile and dynamic option to legged humanoid robots that have their restrictions with pace and mobility. RAI, founded by Marc Raibert, the man behind Boston Dynamics, has built its image in agile and highly dynamic robots, and the Roadrunner is a reflection of this. If the robot in the prototype stage is apt enough to leave us all impressed, what the advanced version would be able to pull off is anyone’s guess.
