Lockdown
When you measure against something, you always need references, else you might as well be comparing to nothing. I tend to refer to myself as an old fogey whenever i mention about the "good ol' days". Its nothing on my age, though i am getting on the years. And for sure i ain't the oldest, theres lots of vets out there that deserve the term. But us local lads sure know about life before LE...gosh, thats like referring to B.C and A.D. 5yrs may not seem long in real life, but its longevity in the competitive and cut-throat sneaker biz ('specially in terms of our small local market). In the days of old before LE, us freaks had to scour whatever leads/connects allover the world that we could find to get our fix.
Man' and crew changed that by bringing the world to the doorstep.
And not only that, they brought this little store of our tiny island country to the world. They've got the lockdown on the scene for sure
And so it is with great pride that they'd be the 1st local store to garner an NB store exclusive model, along with the other greats like atmos, mita, solebox...
Vault
In accordance with NB tradition that deals primarily with store exclusives and not individuals/designers ("Endorsed by no one" is the age-old marketing mantra). Celebrating LE's 5th anniversary, the Made in England 577 model is built around the theme of Limited Edition's Vault store at Heeren

The much-vaunted Vault that normally holds some of the most exclusive sneakers the world has ever seen cleared out for the launch event. Damn, wish i can have a setup like this for my collection, ha.


Have a sneaky-peek at the centrepiece and check out the shoe close-up with the signature red/baroque gold carpetry of LE Vault.


No doubt countless pics have been posted via SneakerFreaker's exclusive interview. The details are amazing up close, as with all NB footwear. "The magic is in the details" is what i always tell non-NB folks.


Shots of fans gathered round the store and during the raffle draw, congrats to the lucky b*s that won the ST33 packs, lol. The 577 LE Vault's limited to 140 pairs, but majority's gonna be for the local boys, so grab 'em while you can. The next time you see 'em, it'll only be on your "wishlist"!

Uniform Experiment
Yet more pics of the 1st season release from Hirofumi's experiment


Seriously dope stuff: nothing too formal/stiff, with a hint of smart relaxed wearables


That "tux"-like shirt is pretty interesting, and while i don't think it'll fit me, the Liberty print is just awesome to behold

Terry + Supreme + Kermit = who's camping out?

Just days to go till the launch of Supreme S/S 08, and Terry helps to fuel the madness with a photography exhibit at colette, starring (in what must be a PR and legal nightmare) Sesame Street's iconic Kermit

Stacks of posters and wheatpaste have been put up for days now on both sides of the pond:

Theres gotta be a new photo-print tee of Kermit, since Elmo already had one via Ghostface

pics via Nylon
so are we gonna see some Kermit+Ms Piggy porn ala Terry-style?!? Stay tuned kids!

Nike Air Force 1 Supreme - Safari

Its truly deja-vu, but did it really have to take this long?!
Nike finally drops the safari print on the AF1, one which custom heads and fans have been clamouring for so long, ever since Mark/SBTG showed the world what a lovely marriage the Air Force and Air Safari would've been. So is this the first custom-to-production model?

I could be nitpicking, but i would've preferred a suede toe-box and gum sole... but hey, we're sneaker head old fogeys... the public and execs wouldn't understand gum soles!...HA!
