Ideal for the indecisive or anyone who likes a little variety in their portable beverage choices, the HydraDuo water bottle ($18) offers two drink options without having to double fist. Created by the online product development community Quirky the reusable BPA-free plastic bottle features two removable 8-oz inner chambers to individually fill with any liquids of your choice. The bottle’s double-flip top lets you fill and pour from one chamber at a time, while the clear design lets you know when it’s time to refill
Sometimes the only thing standing between you and a successful mission is a thin piece of cloth. And whether in battle or love, you know the shirt is simply…optional. Some say it’s the Uniform – made to command respect, strength and honor; but it’s your flesh and blood barely contained within that svelte Officer’s Attire that make you exactly who and what you are. And you know it. Shirtless Kirk. Save the Day…Save the Night. 100ml Eau de Toilette Vaporisateur Spray ($30).
If you’re really serious about your game and tend to do everything in your power to get a leg up on the competition, you should take a look at the Nike MaxSight sport-tinted contact lens ($60). The innovative product not only filters out harmful light and rays, it also helps you perform better by eliminating glare and enhancing contrast. Grey-Green is for sports played in bright sunlight (golf, running, training), while Amber is for sports with a fast moving ball (soccer, tennis, baseball). But probably the most important part of wearing these things is the way they mess with your opponent’s head. Seeing that “Oh my god, he looks like a demon!” look on the dude’s face as he’s heading towards second base is priceless
Traditional BMW M series styling and handling, with horsepower provided by you. The BMW M Bike ($TBA) boast high-tech components worthy of its name, including a matte anthracite frame, disc brakes, a Shimano SLX gear system, a Manitou Match suspension fork on the front wheel, a leather saddle with red inlay, and striking wheels with matching handles. It won’t be cheap, but then again it’ll probably be less than a single month’s payment on the M3, M5, or M6.
At long last we’ve managed to find some real fashion for sports fans. These cool, sturdy cuffs are handmade using genuine leather baseballs.

Each one is autographed by the designer and is ready to take on the signatures of all your friends (and fans). Fits small to medium wrists.
Umbro’s most recent ad incorporates a top model that represents their country and their jersey for the World Cup collection. What’s the concept you ask? Simple. Sex sells!
Summer is fast approaching but the weather sometimes does not feel like it while you’re watching an outdoor game. Not to fear, just send in The Bench Warmer ($70). With rechargeable batteries, soft, comfy foam, and up to 115 degrees of warmth, The Bench Warmer will help you stay warm during those triple overtime thrillers, even in the snow!
This may seem like an “as seen on TV” type of product, but the Portable B Ball System ($550) could actually be quite useful. It attaches to a standard 2-inch trailer hitch on any truck or SUV, and features a telescoping pole system so you can leave it installed while driving to wherever you plan on playing. The Portable B Ball system would be great for those of us who don’t have ample space to hoop it up at home — we could just jump in our imaginary Hummer and drive down to the Lowe’s parking lot to show off our Jordan-esque skills to all of the weirdos buying home improvement stuff.
Also called “ordinary” or “high” bicycle, Penny Farthing is an early model of bicycle that’s largely produced in the U.S. and England in the mid to late 19th century. The very first model is invented in 1871 by a British engineer named James Starley. This is the world’s first efficient bicycle with a small rear wheel and a large front wheel that pivots in a simple tubular frame. The pedals are directly mounted to the front wheel and its tires are made up of rubber. With this bicycle, people can get around cobblestone streets faster than walking.
Offered for Twenty Five Million Euro is the timeless ownership of one of the finest islands in the world and one of the last freehold islands in the South Pacific paradise of Fiji. The 225 acre island is 1 mile long by 1/3 mile wide with 150 foot elevations, surrounded by a 5,000 acre lagoon which completely encircles the island, offering protection from extreme tides and providing the island with calm tranquil waters ideally suited for water sports. One sketchy part about this island is that it’s being listed on eBay. A bit desperate to get rid of an island, don’t you think?
Tiger Woods makes his return to The Masters today. He also has a new Nike ad. His deceased father, Earl, asks him, “Did you learn anything?” The 30-second commercial attempts to show that Woods is a changed man.
Louis Vuitton’s new Golf Bag ($8,400) will hold a full set of clubs, has tons of pockets for gear, and will make you look more rich than every last person in Connecticut. It’s made from the company’s Damier Géant canvas, features cowhide piping, base and handle, and a removable, padded canvas-and-cowhide shoulder strap. Oh, and you also get four free Louis Vuitton tees. Geez, thanks. You’d think you’d get more than that what with the bag costing more than a 2003 Civic and all.
Chainless mountain biking at it’s finest! With the Outback Elite’s full-suspension frame design, Shimano Alfine 8-speed gearing, dual disc brakes and rugged components, it offers a unique blend of style and performance for recreational riding both on-road and off-road. This full-suspension mountain bike was made to tackle mountain trails with increased control and durability. If you’re looking for a bike that is as much fun tackling mountain trails as it is urban streets, nothing compares to the rugged reliability of the Outback Elite 8 for $999.
Rising to Bryant’s challenge of making his signature sneaker even lighter and lower than the previous iteration, Nike Performance Footwear Creative Director Eric Avar came up with a 10.6 ounce low-cut performance shoe – one ounce lighter than the Nike Zoom Kobe IV. The initial inspiration for Kobe’s low-profile shoe came from an unexpected place: the soccer field. “I watch a lot of soccer and have seen how the best footballers in the world make sharp cuts at top speed in lightweight, low-cut footwear,” Bryant said. “The demands they make on their feet and ankles aren’t that different from what I’m doing on the court, yet nobody assumes they should play in high tops.”
Since there is so much buzz about the World Cup lately, here is a gadget for footie crazy folks – the Soccer Ball Remote Control. This remote comes pre-programmed for a wide range of TVs, VCRs, satellite and DVD systems, featuring a working range of around 20 feet. Retailing for $20 each, this would be considered a bargain for its 2-in-1 ability.
