The cufflink is such a serious accessory. So it’s refreshing to find a humorous take on tradition. Kenneth Cole Reaction’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” cufflinks pose antique black-lettered happyface and sadface icons on brushed silver cufflinks to spice up the usual outfit. Do you have a suit that properly displays your lighthearted side? Pair these links with an edgier suit - houndstooth, glen plaid and chalkstripe will all work well. For an even cleaner match, polish off your old tiebar for a sharp look that says you mean business, but hey, you like to have a good time, too.

When the brains at MIT aren’t busy curing cancer or counting cards, they’re designing some amazing technology that we, uh, don’t always have a need for. The “Verb for Shoe” project has us scratching our heads, but eventually nodding in approval. On the 15th of December 2004, MIT student-formed VectraSense announced the “Verb for Shoe” project, one very smart shoe. This shoe automatically adjusts internal air pockets based on movements from the wearer– controlled by an internal computer. That same computer provides a wireless connection to your pc and to other Verb for Shoe wearers. Like the Microsoft Zune, wearers can beam personal data back and forth between them. Want to pass along your business card? Get a phone number of that pretty lady technophile? Want to exchange missile codes with a foreign spy? These’ll do it without saying a word on your part. The “Verb for Shoe” is now shipping. [engadget]

Over the last few months, we’ve ran a nice collection of t-shirt giveaways from the web’s leading t-shirt makers.  We’ve been joined by DesignByHumans, NerdyShirts, BustedTees, AttusApparel and more.  While we’ve got a few more t-shirt giveaways in the works, we’d like to take a break and share with you some of our favorite t-shirt blogs on the web.  In the future, we’ll be featuring some of these t-shirt bloggers as guests for our new T-Shirt Tuesday column.  For now, continue reading after the break for a list of t-shirt blogs that GearCrave loves.

Though not as prolifically customized as its shoe descendant, the Dunk, the Air Jordan 1 is one of Nike’s most frequently re-styled retros. Particularly in recent months, the patriarch of the Air Jordan family has undergone several thematic makeovers. The one on tap for this June is one of the most stylish in recent memory. Dubbed the “Father’s Day” edition, it lives up to its name. It hits that rare medium between street-cred chic and something you wouldn’t be embarrassed to see on your dad’s feet in public. It’s all about pattern and fabric choice. What says “Honey, I’m home” better than classic herringbone tweed? Pairing the herringbone with black trim and black laces gives it an edge way sharper than the typical autumn/Christmas colorways you usually see with tweedy sneaks. It’s an all-around slick pair of kicks you can sport with pretty much anything. The shoe’s scheduled release is June 7th. That’s a week before Father’s Day, so do right by Pops this year.

…Or get ‘em for yourself and find him a nice tie.

File this one under “brilliant”.  Oye Modern, the designers and developers of modern jewelry, have put picturesque jewelry into focus with the Depth of Field Cuff line.  These hand-made, hand-finished bracelets are made from classic slr film cameras that met an early fate.  If you’re a photographer, or a friend of a photog, you’ll recognize these as instant classics.  They’re available in Australian Dollars, but can be shipped to the US and elsewhere.  Mark these as the coolest jewelry you’ll see this month.

The ads (You probably remember them from the ’90s) are classic beyond comparison– like the brand, the definition of cool before it’s cool. The logo, no joke, deserves mention with the greatest designs in fashion history; Gucci, Chanel, YSL, Ralph Lauren and the like included. And, the t-shirts–ill as they come. After 27 years, Stussy is still the freshest, most broad streetwear brand on the planet. Surf, skate, rap, ska, punk, new wave, beach– no brand has captured the essence of these subcultures more precisely. More importantly, Stussy was able to pinpoint the aesthetic and philosophical links between all of them, chain ‘em together and throw ‘em in the blender. In 1980, founder Shawn Stussy, a local board shaper in Long Beach, started putting his logo on t-shirts, and the rest is history. Now, from London to Paris to Tokyo to L.A. to N.Y., Stussy has cache everywhere. It’ s emblematic of why American subculture is still the worldwide arbiter of cool.

We’ve covered CyberOptix ties a few times here on GearCrave, and we must say we’ve yet to find a better designer. They’re at the peak of their game, designing some amazing ties that add the perfect focus to any formal wardrobe. Our latest favorite is the Cut Throat Tie. A little ironic, seeing as you’re going to fasten this one around your neck. But the design speaks volumes. This is yet another great pattern from CyberOptix, and we’ve got to get this one around our neck.
