It can be argued that the Eyeshade model pictured above was the start of everything we now know as Oakley. Back in 1984 – way before the brand was an international giant in the game – Oakley was a garage-based operation seeking to find a way to improve eyewear for professional cyclists, which led to the development of the Eyeshade model. Inspired by the frame of snow goggles, the lenses provided ample protection from the sun packaged within an innovative design and overflowing with style. Now, 30 years later, Oakley drops the Heritage Collection, made up of the Eyeshade, the ubiquitous Frogskins (see our preview here), and the Razer Blade, with all their retro styling, but with a few modern tweaks to the quality of the frames and lenses. Available now in three of the original colorways, find the full Heritage collection here and more looks at the Eyeshade after the jump. Move quickly–all three are in limited numbers.

After several years spent recording in secret, The Wu Tang Clan is releasing a single copy of its latest album, The Wu – Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. The one-off piece of art will be housed in a heavily-detailed box of engraved silver and nickel, handcrafted in Morocco by the artist Yaya.

We’re about to put out a piece of art like nobody else has done in the history of [modern] music. We’re making a single-sale collector’s item. This is like somebody having the scepter of an Egyptian king.

The album will tour festivals, museums and galleries, fetching a $30 to $50 listening fee, before being sold off to a single buyer for a price that will be set “in the millions.” The Wu – Once Upon A Time In Shaolin is the first release from EZCLZIV’s The Carmen Clandestine Experience, the “world’s first private music service.”

While the motorcycle equivalent of trikes on the streets haven’t quite earned the respect of die-hard, rugged bikers, this new Rungu Juggernaut Bike will fit in perfectly. Fat-tire bikes have seen a resurgence as of late, but this isn’t just any old fat tire; it’s a fatty with a dual front fork that allows you to handle anything your leg power can push you though. Both wheels up front see a 26-inch wheel and a 4.7-inch wide tire, secured to an aluminum frame that helps to offset the weight of the additional metal needed to support the additional wheel. Hydraulic rear brakes and dual front disk brakes help to slow the Juggernaut while low available gearing helps you chug along smoothly over snowy hill, dunes, and cruise the beaches. Not enough to convince you? Rungu also offers up a mount kit to turn the bike into an e-bike for an extra boost. Available now via Rungu.

A roaring five-alarm fire in Houston, Texas trapped a construction worker on a ledge on the top floor of an under-construction luxury apartment complex on March 25th. The unnamed worker was forced to carefully lower down to the ledge below in order to avoid the fire’s progress as the Houston Fire Department scrambled to save them. Firefighters finally reached the worker before the flames, but the wind-driven fire eventually reduced the complex to little more than ashes.

It’s said that the only thing a groom needs to do on his wedding day is turn up on time and say the right name.

However, we can now add another requirement – dodge any helicopter-mounted cameras flying straight towards your face.

This unfortunate incident took place at a couple’s bridal shoot two days before their wedding, and left the groom with cuts on his cheek and the side of his head.

The photographer, who was using a GoPro camera mounted on a DJI Phantom quadcopter, wrote on YouTube: ‘I felt horrible. Luckily the bride and groom were able to laugh about it after and we continued the shoot. At the request of the bride and groom I put the video online.

‘Although it sucks that this happened. I have decided to own up to what I did, instead of try to hide it from the world.’

He went on to say: ‘I was still able to make a great video. This couple was so great to work with. Some of the nicest people I have ever met.’

You can watch the couple’s full video, with the quadcopter incident edited out, here.

Judging by the Air Jordan 3LAB5’s debut last year and the reception it received, especially from Jordan enthusiasts, the Jumpman brand will have another go on the hybrid design this year again. And the first new design for 2014 is this Air Jordan 3LAB5 in a Black/Metallic color scheme. Featuring an all-black tonal treatment all around, Jordan designers went back and accentuated each of the elephant/cement pattern furthermore. The process gives a “polished black metallic” appearance which contrasts nicely to the upper’s textured portion and icy translucent outsole. No official release date is set yet, but it is likely you will find these black beauties at select Jordan Brand dealers starting Fall 2014.

Release Date: Fall 2014

If you’re considering any of the latest Nike Air Max 1′s we’ve been previewing today, which includes the Atomic Violet/Total Orange, the Vibrant Yellow, or this pair in Neolime, then you’re definitely going to also pick up a new pair of shades. Luckily, we’ve got plenty of those for you to choose from, too. Continuing with the soccer-inspired look, this version of Nike’s most iconic running shoe takes over the color palette from the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX 98M boot, which sees the upper completely covered in a dimpled green leather that is finished with a glossy effect. The result is an almost iridescent effect that gives off a blue sheen from different angles while the dimples keep with the colorway’s football aesthetic roots. A Total Crimson Swoosh adds some contrast while a white midsole and translucent outsole finish the look. These, just like the others noted above, can be found on now via atmos.
