To be a champ, you need to train like one. This Lance Armstrong approved Livestrong Indoor Cycle is crafted from 40 lb flywheel and Kevlar belt system for a smoothness that is unparalleled in indoor fitness bikes. It releases in September for $999 and all proceeds go to charity.
The Trek bike series for Lance Armstrong’s Stages initiative for the Livestrong foundation had Damien Hirst customize a Trek Madone bike adding a butterfly all-over design to it. The result is a gorgeous array of butterflies from the frame down to the Bontrager rims, which also bear a repeating pattern of the willowy creatures. Eschewing the traditional LIVESTRONG yellow in favor of bright shocking pink logos all around, Hirst brings even more attention to the cause in a color scheme that can be easily read at nearly any distance (or speed).

A long-term collaborative partner, NY’s Futura has worked with Nike on numerous occasions providing design innovation at every step. For LIVESTRONG, he updated his most desired shoe, the FLOM (aka For Love or Money). Originally released by Nike SB and limited to only 24 pairs, the FLOM was gifted to friends leaving collectors yearning all over the world.
When asked why he wanted to be involved in the collection, Futura says, “The opportunity to contribute to what Lance is doing with LIVESTRONG is the primary motivation. It also marks the return of the FOR LOVE or MONEY . . . the FLOM has been re-minted.”
The LIVESTRONG x Futura x Nike Dunk Hi releases on Saturday, July 18th, 2009 with a retail price of $150. 100% of the proceeds go towards the Lance Armstrong Foundation. See below for the exclusive retailers in the US.
