WRITTEN BY: KEENAN HIGGINS
NIKE SUMMER 2014 BRAZIL PACK
With the appeal of soccer at an all-time high in Brazil right now, Nike releases a special “Brazil” pack that shows love to both Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paulo. The Rio edition features a digital camo-like pattern in green with a similar rainbow pattern near the ankle and heel tab.
This colorway is used on the Nike Lunar Force 1 Mid Jacquard, the Nike Air Max 97 Jacquard and the Nike Tiempo Zoom Mid 94 Jacquard. In contrast, the Sao Paulo edition is completely different in color and range of silhouettes, with the Lunar Force 1 Jacquard, Blazer Zoom Hi Jacquard and Tiempo Mid 94 Jacquard designed over a "stone street"-inspired elephant print.
Check for the entire Brazil Pack to drop at Nike Lab locations on June 26.

Clint Dempsey of the U.S. soccer team recorded a hip-hop album.
Professional athletes have been recording albums for years now, with mostly horrific results. Clint Dempsey of the U.S. soccer team hopes to change that.
The Wall Street Journal, has the details:
Unbeknown to his fans and teammates, the 31-year-old Mr. Dempsey spent two weeks in Los Angeles during the off-season recording a 13-track album, “The Redux,” which he and his friend, the rapper XO, plan to release in the months ahead. Using his artist name “Deuce,” Major League Soccer’s highest-paid player raps about going from rags to riches, “banging Gs” (scoring goals) and being “Captain America.”
“We just were having fun with it and it ended up being an album,” said Mr. Dempsey, who collaborated with rappers and producers from his hometown of Nacogdoches, Texas. One of them, Mike Chehadé, said that if nothing else, the record could help make the U.S. team seem a little more intimidating.
“We’re not known as a soccer powerhouse—we’re almost known for being soft. But Clint has this edge,” he said.
This is no celebrity-athlete lark, apparently. Dempsey has been rapping for years. “He’ll just call you sometimes and start free-styling—he doesn’t even say hello,” Chehade told the Wall Street Journal.
The first single off the new album, “It’s Poppin,” drops Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT at Deuceandxo.com, the Wall Street Journal reports. But for now, here’s Deuce’s 2006 efford, “Don’t Tread.”

Snake Island | Full Length Documentary
The highest concentration of one of the most venomous snakes in the world is located about 90 miles off the coast of Santos, Brazil, on a small, craggy chunk of otherwise uninhabitable land. It's known as Ilha da Queimada Grande, or Snake Island, and it's the only place you will find 2,000 or so of the wholly unique golden lancehead viper, or Bothrops insularis.
When you step ashore, with a keen eye you spot one of these snakes roughly every 10 to 15 minutes after clearing the base of the island, and as many as one every six square yards in other parts of the island. This means, as you are walking through the waist-high brush, even with some good boots on, it's like walking through a minefield that moves and, instead of blowing you into chunks, slowly paralyzes you and liquefies your insides, as the golden lancehead does to the migrating birds it feeds on in the treetops.
Well, "liquefying your insides" may be a stretch, but no one knows for sure because no one bitten has lived long enough even to be admitted to a hospital, or at least none of the researchers who accompanied VICE on their journey to Snake Island owned up to that fact. Nor did the Brazilian Navy, who allowed VICE exclusive access to document their annual maintenance inspection of Snake Island's lighthouse—which has been automated ever since the 1920s, after the old lighthouse keeper ran out of food and disappeared while picking wild bananas in a small grove near the shore. According to legend, he and the members of his rescue party died one by one, all alone and in search of one another after each had been missing for some time.
The golden lancehead is so unique and its venom so potent that specimens procured by snake-smuggling "biopirates" can fetch up to $30,000 apiece on the black market (with prices going much higher depending on the location of the rich weirdo snake collector or, some have speculated, the black-market biopharmaceutical chemists attempting to beat Brazil on a patent).
Is that the craziest fucking description of a documentary you've ever heard? The answer is yes. So of course VICE's editor-in-chief, Rocco Castoro, and senior producer, Jackson Fager, had to go there and nose around for themselves. On their return they said things like:
"It was like a David Lynch movie through the prism of Satan's asshole. The anti-Galápagos. Darwin in reverse."
"[It's] cut off from the mainland and perhaps the land of a long-buried pirate treasure, according to the stories from local fishermen. But they also told us there were aliens on the island, so pretty much anything goes. It's scorched earth. It's where I would send my worst enemies to live, and I look forward to setting up a business with the Brazilian government to do just that. After the World Cup, of course."
"What I can tell you is that there are stone fucking steps hand-carved into the face of one of the prominent cliffs, all the way up. But you can't dock anywhere near there. There's also the possibility that [the venom] could be used for an anti-cancer drug, or perhaps anti-aging. Maybe it could save mankind. Whatever. They wouldn't have saved my ass."
"There are blue locusts and so many of these weird, prehistoric-looking cockroaches on the ground at night that it crunches when you walk. Place is fucked. No one is allowed there for a reason. Don't ever go."
"All that said, great shoot. Great diving, too."

World's tallest and fastest water slide | the Verruckt | is the stuff of nightmares
Verruckt means "insane" in German, and the slide, is scheduled to debut in May next year and is definitely not for the faint of heart.
The new water slide at Schlitterbahn, Germany is expected to shatter the current record for height held by the 164-foot high Kilimanjaro in Barra do Pirai, Brazil.
Adventurous souls must climb an agonizing 264 steps to reach its staggering 17 story-tall top. Four-person rafts will next send them hurdling back down to earth at a minimum speed of 65 mph.
The ride includes a five-story hump that shoots riders upwards as a climactic finish to what will no doubt become known as a bowel-loosening attraction
