Bespoke Desire!

When Motorola was acquired by Google, their first launch was the Moto X that boasted of a wooden back panel. This meant each back panel had a grain pattern that was unique and unmatched. Now we all know wood isn’t a wise choice of material for consumer electronics that sell in the millions (Wood products take time to get manufactured). Plastic or metal is much more suited for gadgets. HTC decided to bring that sense of uniqueness to plastic. The result is the HTC Desire 530, a phone that embraces your fun side with its speckled plastic design. Each phone has a unique speckled pattern. No two can ever be the same. That’s quite a brilliant approach, I must say. Not only does it mirror your individuality, it gives your phone a character by which you can recognize it!

Wear Your Favorite Instagram Pics on Your Adidas Kicks

Adidas Instagram Shoes

Taking shoe customization one step farther is Adidas with their soon-to-be-released app, which allows you customize a pair of Adidas ZX Flux training shoes using your favorite Instagram shot. From selfies and groufies to scenic shots and photos of your favorite things, the possibilities are endless.

You might want to reconsider that selfie though because you wouldn’t want to give anyone the chance to step all over you literally now, would you? (Sorry about that, couldn’t resist!)

The app will be released with iOS and Android compatibility this August.
