short intermission

"stripey casual":uniqlo-plokhov*levis-fenom*NB-st33 stingray
Met up with a couple of ex-colleagues for a get together as one of them was returning to China. Been awhile since i last had those Chong Qing hotpot meals...scalded my tastebuds for sure, ha.
pick ups
Visvim

Always cool when a bro hooks it up. I pretty much thought it was just a simple corduroy daypack/carrier like an Eastpak and nothing much. Boy was i glad to be wrong when i saw the laptop compartment and the details of pockets, accessing zips and of course the knitted wool-bottom. Hiroki was already practicing Tet's message of "putting things where they belong" couple years back, haha. Can't wait to use it in the next few weeks


KC even threw in an old skool Supreme "Air Flight" wings pin, ha. Thanks!

Supreme NBHD

Wonders of ebay still abound when you can actually get something brand new for less than retail shipped. And nope, i ain;t gonna wear the bill flat, its baseball slugger style for me, :)

Final duty call - gonna be offline over the next 2 weeks. Some say burden, i call it a paid vacation, heh heh. It'll be awesome catching up the good ol' times yet again with the buds.

chillout with your shorts out

Pulled out some vintage to meet with the OG's aka old fogeys
electric cottage*mj belt(no vis)*visvim eiger sanction*casio fragment*nike woven
Its always chill out time when meeting with headz. Met up with Kev/uparmoured and Sahlan/S78 on an afternoon where us 3 miraculously managed to be in the same country at the same time. Seeing as how over the past couple of weeks we were all in each others' places of residence and didn't meet up, its definitely a rare occassion haha. S78 did the usual round of mail-drop pickup and even managed to do a little shopping-trolley-rally-derby round Orchard Road (how many of you guys ever seen a dude push 5 grand of proddy around in a trolley on a busy street?) hahaha

pick up

Number(N)ine houndstooth slip-on
Nothing's wrong with the 1st pic, just a closeup of the embossed shoebox...pretty stoked to haul this steal in. Leather lining y'all! word


Viktor & Rolf shirt
Can;t seem to find the right flash to capture the white-on-white print on the shirt-front. Slim-fit, simple clean-cut goodness from the Dutch boys. I might gt used to their work...

drop
Nike vintage dunks

Releasing as we speak, with a new colorway every week, just like old times.
I adored the vintage running series, and i thought i'd love this as well...but if you look at the close up pics (avail on every other hype site), all the "distress" is the same on every shoe/model (the heel wear, ollie flip etc), and thats pretty sad. Couldn;t nike have given the factory worker "freedom of expression" to work his creative magic? I don't know man, verdict is still out for me, prolly gotta see it in person to decide. Who knows, i might be really lured in by the yellowed soles, stained laces and all =)
