Multi-talented graphic designer and mathematician John Maeda collaborate with Reebok to design a shoe based on Law 1: Reduce (taken from his book The Laws of Simplicity). Law 1 states that âthe simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reductionâ.
The end result is a tonal metallic silver upper based on the running model, ERS 5000. The shoe is available now at select Reebok dealers.

âIn its apparently catastrophic form⦠Detroit has recently emerged as a figure for abject urban failure,â writes Andrew Herscher of Detroit Unreal Estate Agency. Herscher, an assistant professor of architecture at the University of Michigan, and collaborators Mirielle Roddier, Femke Lutgerink, and Partizan Publikâs Christian Ernsten and Joost Janmaat, are attempting to redefine the term economy with regard to Detroitâs post-industrial blight.

âIn the garden of my house thereâs a tree with lots of randomly grown twigs. It looks odd and nice at the same time. One day I asked myself if I could create a piece of music with it.â
