Ping Pong Door Concept
I haven’t touched ping pong since college (over a decade ago..). It was very addictive, but just not practical to get a ping pong table myself. So I hope this ping pong door concept goes into production!

It’s easy to see how the idea works – the door seems to have interchangeable hinges to allow it to become a table. Narrower than a competition table, but likely to be fun nonetheless!

China New Year Puma Sneakers
Bit early for Chinese New Year, but if you prepare well in advance you could order these Puma Chinese New Year First Round sneakers.
