For a few years now, Nike has been paying tribute to one of the most celebrated yearly events, Chinese New Year. With this year being the Year of the Tiger, it comes as no surprise the most prominent aspect of a tiger and its stripes are a direct influence in the design. However, kudos to Read more...
Earlier this week, I got the invite to check out Hong Kong’s first NIKEiD Studio. I don’t really like calling it a “studio”, seems a little too proper and an over-glorification of what is essentially picking a few different color panels on a sneaker. For the longest time I’ve always fucked with NIKEiD, but alas, Read more...
Last week I was blessed with a trifecta of packages in the mail… always good to know people are looking out for you haha. First up was the Zebra Sharbo X pen.

I actually rarely if ever played ball, but I Read more...
(Nice Kicks x ASICS GEL LYTE III Trilogy Pack… note the lens distortion on the corners from the Canon S90, unfortunate but uncontrollable, you can fix it Photoshop though so no big deal)
Yeh, no point lying or down-playing this fact… you have the good fortune of a lot of cool and interesting product with this Read more...
I’ve never played or watched a full rugby boot let alone played it… but these are looking legit from adidas Rugby. The boot is largely just a re-worked Predator X from the football line but I really wonder how it would do if it was used for football rather than rugby. The 6-banger format is Read more...
