Above you can see the new Lebron 9 sneaker, and it also features the newest in Nike technology: Flywire technology and Hyperfuse construction.

Nokia’s latest venture includes a seamless, all-screen design that takes the concept of the “swipe” to another level with a convex, 3.9-inch screen. The stunning, minimalist design features an 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, a 3G mobile hotspot for Wi-Fi enabled devices, instant web and social network capabilities, maps navigation, and an array of apps from the Ovi Store. The phone will operate on the new MeeGo OS and offer the option of 16GB or 64GB of memory space.

The Nokia N9 – which comes in magenta, black, and cyan – was officially released on Tuesday in 23 countries. Unfortunately, top markets including India, the U.K., and the U.S. didn’t make the cut… for now. We’ll be willing to wait it out until the phone is available here in the states. In the meantime, check out this video for the Nokia N9 below.

It seems every car company is putting out a new stylish crossover in 2011 – and the latest is the new Q3 by Audi. This new car will combine a transverse engine layout with flexible steering and suspension options as well as a Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG) dual clutch. Other features for this new ride: a choice for a gasoline or diesel engine (all with direct injection) and also 140-211 horsepower.
Expected asking price: $43 Grand.

O-Range is known for making high-performance bags for trekking, skiing, camping, etc. For this season, they hooked up with Ralph Lauren’s active line RLx to create a collection of collab bags. Yeah, we know they are made for outdoorsy extreme activities, but we see this fitting in an urban jungle like NYC just fine. The one shown above retails for a pricy $395.00.

Who doesn’t love a Beemer? – it jut exudes class, and when it comes to the different models, we like them all: X5′s, 5 Series, 3 series, 750s – it’s all good with us – and we feel the same about the ferocious new 6 Coupe. The shape is sporty, expertly contoured and we can imagine the exceptional handling and interior luxury of this machine. Yup – this is certainly on our wish list for 2011. Now we just have to find a great benefactor to purchase it for us.

This past weekend, the good people at Nissan in conjunction with the Zocalo Group in Chicago flew the Collab Society team out to West Palm Beach to preview and test drive the new Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet which drops this April – and might we add, it’s a sweet ride indeed. Also we have to mention that they kindly put us up in the luxurious Omphoy Resort and hooked us up with amazing meals from world class Chef Michelle Bernstein – we can’t even begin to explain how delicious the meals were.
But any way, back to the car. The Murano CrossCabriolet is the world’s first ever All Wheel Drive Cross Over Convertible and it features the following impressive features:
- 3.5-liter. 24 -valve, DOHC V6
- 265 Horsepower and 248 lb-ft of Torque
- Great Gas Mileage – 17 MPG City/ 22 MPG Highway
- Unique Wood Grain Interior with Bose AM/FM/CD Audio system with 8 Speakers

It comes in great colors too – Caribbean Blue (shown abobe), Merlot Red to name a few. What we loved most about the automobile were the amazing curvaceous lines and appealing design of the vehicle. During the test drive, we were cutting through the balmy Palm Beach air like a streamlined, jet-propelled NASA shuttle – good times indeed.
The price on the vehicle is roughly $47K.

This right here is a red devil you might possibly have to sell your soul for – and really, we don’t think most millionaires will have a problem with that trade-in at all. The FF is named as such because it has four seats and it’s a four-wheel drive vehicle too. Here are some of its more impressive features:
- It has a newly developed 6.2-liter V12 engine
- The engine boasts a torque of 504lb at 5000rpm.
- It accelerates from 0 to 62mph in an unheard of 3.7 seconds. (Wowzers)

The sleek chassis was designed under the supervision of Ferrari’s own chief designer, Flavio Manzoni, and the price tag is rumored to hover around the $700,000 range. As we said in the title – “for deep pockets only.”

James Bond himself would approve of this beautiful speed monster: This is meant to fill the slot between Aston Martin’s DB9 and DBS models. It boasts the following features:
– The bonded aluminum chassis (with aluminu, magnesium and composite body panels)
- 6.0-liter V12 rated at 490 horsepower
- 420 pound-feet of torque.
- Six-speed automatic “Touchtronic 2″ gearbox,
And check this out: it goes from 0-6mph in roughly 4.5 seconds – Wowzers

No pricing info on this yet, but it would be safe to say that you might have to forget college for your two oldest kids to handle the financial fallout from copping one of these babies.
