A fascinating mini-doc by the Grantland Channel exploring how, for the last 18 years, the Compton Cricket Club (aka ‘Homies and the Popz’) has changed lives in Compton, California.
The CCC was founded in 1995 to:
…curb the negative effects of gang activities amongst the youth of Compton, address homelessness in the inner city through the principles and ethics of cricket and encourage and promote civility, good and productive citizenship.
From viral video to actual (limited edition) thing – the Bubba Watson (and Oakley) BW1 – a mere $58,000 from Hammacher Schlemmer.

The Adidas Springblade runner ($180), available (in the US) from August. Adidas sez:
Springblade features 16 forward angled blades made out of a high-tech polymer. The highly elastic blades instantaneously react to any environment, compressing and releasing energy to create an efficient push-off that feels like you have springs under your feet. Each blade is precisely tuned in geometry, thickness and position for each phase of a runner’s stride to provide support and a full range of movement.
