Mike: "A few years ago Sharon and I went on a trip to Morrocoo and Spain. When we got back, I took the few thousand photos I had taken and strung them together in a video. This Spanish shoe company Preventi saw the video and thought it really summed up the the vibe of their work. They put the video on their website and sent me a pair of their shoes. I fell in love with them and have been wearing them pretty much non stop ever since. Earlier this year we started talking about doing a line of shoes together. I photoshopped together a design and they went from there. The shoe is all handmade using Italian leather. The rim of the shoe is accented with wool that wraps around and lines the entire inside. It's really nice and comfortable. The shoes come in two colors, brown or grey leather, and are available in both men and women sizes."

Mike plays with the new Nest Learning Thermostat, which he helped design.
