This evening I stumbled upon Vivre, a shop full of fanciful things most of us can't afford. But ooooh, aaaah—look at the cool guy stuff! The moto-hybrid bicycle is pure Italianate pomposity. You, too, can be the coolest dude in town for just $10,000.
More reasonable is the tricycle for awesome little boys. It's just $300, and when your kid outgrows it, you can keep it in your house as an objet d'art.
Speaking of art, check out the soccer ball designed by Ryan McGinness. McGinness first caught my eye a few years ago with his work
at PS 1 and New York's MOMA—he does these surreal, colorful cutouts of fairytale-like images and layers them over one another in collages. I'm not sure why he created a soccer ball—it's not his best work, but it would be a great gift for a guy who appreciates both sports and art.
Yo - BS you "stumbled upon" Vivre... I showed that to you MONTHS ago.

Also, a Ryan McGinness soccer ball was featured in Cargo way back in the day. Or have you forgotten that magazine so quickly?
