What do you get if you ask a sportswear firm to design footwear alongside a traditional shoe company? The Puma Loakes Clyde.

Part of the bespoke collection available from Oki-Ni, the shoe is based on the classic Clyde trainer from 1972, but re-interpreted by longstanding British footwear firm Loake. Premium grade calf leather is used for the upper, with each piece cut by hand. There’s also a brogue-style toe, Clyde sole and a hand-polished finish.

And there’s just 100 pairs around. If you want one, they retail for £180

Scooter_teapot
Not the first time we have featured a novelty teapot, but the first time we have featured the vintage scooter teapot.

Designed by Gary Seymour, the scooter has a spout in the front headlight, the seat is the lid and the backrest the handle, with the whole thing sized at 21 x 26cm.

And it’s a limited edition of just 500 – which might explain the rather hefty price tag of $136 (around £70).
