This Nike Air Jordans Inspired limited-edition Xbox wins the NBA All-Star weekend!

The two giant worlds of tech and sports are colliding or rather collaborating, and I can already hear the NBA fans, sneakerheads and gamers fist-bumping in unison! Microsoft and Nike have teamed up to make a limited-edition custom Xbox One that is rightfully going to paint the town red this Valentine’s day. Here’s the catch – only one lucky Twitter user can win this exclusive console and all you have to do is retweet THIS tweet from Xbox. And if you are looking for Nike’s latest pair of Jordans, you will only find that at the NBA festivities in Chicago.

The bold edition of Xbox is inspired by Nike’s new Air Jordan III Retro U sneaker and you can also spot Nike’s iconic ‘Jumpman’ logo on the right. The top of the console is covered with the elephant print texture that is found on the Jordan shoes and it comes with two controllers. Microsoft hinted at the collaboration and the release of this custom Xbox lines up perfectly with the NBA All-Star in Chicago – also explains why the red was chosen for the console, it is a nod to the Chicago Bulls’ signature shade. Microsoft collaborates with brands for one-of-a-kind Xbox consoles often but this is one of their sleekest designs so far.

If I was you, I would already be retweeting this with both my twitter accounts – you know one for work and one for the rants!

Designers: Microsoft & Nike

Quirky, dorky, and borderline ridiculous, this umbrella is sure to make the both of you laugh, or at least crack a smile.

The “Love that’s untouched by time” gift
There’s something truly enchanting about the Sola Cube.

Pokémon Go Goes Pink This Valentine’s Season

For the next few days Pokémon Go is going to be noticeably pinker. For Valentine’s Day 2017, pink Pokémon like Chansey, Porygon and Clefable will spawn a lot more often, and if you want some cute pink baby Pokémon, you are also in luck. They’re more likely to hatch into Cleffa, Igglybuff and Smoochum, as well.

You’ll also get double the amount of candy when you catch, hatch or transfer a Pokémon to the Professor. Each lure will keep attracting Pokémon for six hours instead of the usual 30 minutes too. If you are spending your days with your head buried in your smartphone playing this game, you might not have a significant other, so this is as good a way to celebrate as any.

The event begins today, 11AM PST/2PM EST, and will run until 11AM PST on February 15th.  Love is in the air, but you are breathing only Pokémon. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Happy V-Day.
