minuteshopping

Dropped by Surr on ChineseNewYear's eve for a little look-see and was (not so) surprised to see hordes of kids picking out some goodies. Picked up yet more stripes for the wardrobe, the hpp is soft as silk. But more surprising was the hp digicam pouch. Thought it was wierd to see the "craft with pride" woven tag inside and then i found it really was the nbhd collab...lol, what luck and it couldn't hurt with a discount too eh

New Vis dissertation based on Tibet out and i'm liking this Jokhang Christo...Keeping my fingers crossed on them. And just when i just wondering on the pics and catalog info, out pops the deluge on the hype-net, ha. Seriously i have nothing to do with it.
btw, fyi for local folks, elks out next week.

FCRB

New jacket looks fierce as always. If i ever get my hands on one, i don';t think i'll ever stop...too tempting

SOPHnet


I don't think there'll ever be a real need for Teflon apparel, but its never about need is it? hahaha
Damn, you'll be slick like Teflon-Don in them suits (gott be rich like him to own them too, 900 a pop, ouch!) and how spiffy are those stripes! argh


Think i'll just go with these oxford button-downs...they are more in my budget lol

PAM-Undercover


crazy cool table lamp previously previewed by TK is now out on Firmanent...not that i can afford it though...
If they could make a ghoulish red/green glow on the wordings on that book, it'll be real rad though

Alife Barney's


I've never followed up on the alife kicks but i think these are pretty cool...according to the chinese almanac, red's my color this year, prolly thats why i'm attracted to 'em, ha. Supposed Jordan-esque colorways...nice
After the non-release of the NB576 collab, i guess alife decided to just go ahead with their own rendition of the 574

nice and clean..reminds me of sneaker customs in the days of yore

NB Hectic Stussy

Speaking of NB, the 2nd NB670 collab will be out real soon. Ever since the US market got the MT580 mould, you knew the Japs will head on to the next model the US/restofworld don;t have...LOL

NB atmos MT580J
And speaking of the MT580 going International, now the Japs gotta add a "J" to their own releases to differentiate, hehe

But there's no knocking the hustle, Jap colorways always on top of the game. Thank god atmos did not go too wild with their technicolore this time

Futura Labs Colnago

You saw the Colnago bike collab with Fu and Stash a while back...so of coz F2K's gotta have the gear to go with it. Yet more Le Tour polka dot trigger-happiness

technicolor camo
and if its colors you like...

Meth drops a fab five pack at Informants featuring a range of camo/animal prints



SBTG/Mark drops a collab with MR SK for the Year of the Rat celebrations.
Nothing against them 2 custom-meisters, but i'm just not feelin' the 80's neon/skulls/camo vibe... why not just do a full-on Vision neo-skatepunk instead of a cover-the-whole-shoe mish-mash thats neither here nor there?

Seven Sins theme for the upcoming JARK collection...24K gold y'all

Eva for Bebe

One word: TIGHT!

busy busy busy...Laters!

quality over quantity
Finally back from the wilderness of the outfield. Always good to be in the comfort of your home... but this time i'm really gonna miss my buds. The fact that it was our last hurrah made it all the more special: us giving the young 'uns a helluva run for their money. Bet they didn't think the old fogeys still got something up their sleeves, heh. And the new-age gear sure beats any lame-old laser-tag any day. But while the new gear is shit-cool and all, i wouldn't trade my place for it, for one thing, my back ain't gonna hold up much longer with those carry-alls hahaha...
Returned home to some nice maildrops. Guess you might be sick of seeing the same old proddy stuff on the sites out there, so howsabout some "real" hype shit?? hahah

Always awesome to have friendly peeps around with proddy stashed from yesteryear. Futura-infused ape tee for "Shadow of the ape sounds", especially liked it cos the Flavor Flav track is my fave from the set. Some "fly or die" red-hot print for the new year; and the quintessential beastly 'preme+nbhd collab. Much brotherly love to Dave! ha

Its back to the grind after the long lay-off...yep, back to clearing those 300+ mails..sheesh
Gotta kick it loose after spending such a long time in goretex boots, so i went with some midtowns...

Komfort Reigns Supreme! ha
