Sunday night saw Nike launching it’s first ever “Fuel Fest” and not being people who like to miss a huge free party we thought we’d check it out. Before the night began we were given a Nike Fuel Band, which measures your activity in terms of steps take and calories burned, and then assigns a value known as Nike Fuel.
The event took place at the iconic Battersea power-station in South London. Tinie Tempah, Zane Lowe and Magnetic Man were there to provide the entertainment… as they staged a dance off between the girls and boys. All the fuelbands were wirelessly connected to a computer which then calculated how many points each side had accumulated.
In the end the girls won dammit!
But despite the male race being humiliatingly defeated it was still a night to remember, the visuals alone were mind boggling…. check out our lovely gallery below:
Last Saturday we went down to Brixton to check out the World Basketball Festival at Windrush Square in Brixton. It was a day of 90 second knockouts, music, chicken and slam dunks which culminated with a 5 on 5 game between Team Nike from New York and a GB Allstar team. Basketball heroes Luol Deng and Scottie Pippen were on hand, and later on in the evening international dunker Guy Dupuy aka ‘Easy Jumper’ appeared on stage at the academy to compete against the winners of the 90 second knockout..
After the days events the action moved to the Brixton academy where there was an evening of entertainment headlined by Big Boi of Outkast. Miami Heat band made regular appearances and there was even a dance off involving members of the audience. What a day!
Check out the video of what went down below:

So Wireless is finally here, and those of you with tickets are likely to be asking yourself a lot of questions. Where are the stages? Which act is on when? Where can I buy a beverage? What is the meaning of life? What is the evolutionary purpose of having earlobes?
Well thankfully the folks down at Vodafone have created a free App to help you answer at least some of these questions and to navigate your way through the weekend. The official app gives you the full line-up, personalised schedules, maps and social networking tools
One of the useful features we noticed is the “My Schedule” feature which allows you to create a personalised schedule of performances. Very handy indeed.
This App is also part of Vodafone VIP, which gives the lucky buggers who are on Vodafone exclusive access to phone charging points, viewing platforms and backstage tours. Find out how to get involved here.
