still alive...

we've all been on a bit of a dead one lately but hopefully we will be back to regualr posting.

heres some of my recent pickups

picked up my iphone a couple weeks ago after some persuasive talk from friends who had their grubby mitts on launch day, such 'mac geeks'..sorry i mean 'mac heads' lol. got the white 16G and i must say it goes beyond the hype such a great phone and wastes more of your valuable life but oh well will be worth it. so go out and cop one if you still havent!


here are my re released vandals which i picked up from size?. well worth the cash. period.

also picked up a pair of blue terminators from size?. always been a fan of terminators and could'nt resist when I saw it in this colour!

some bargainous uniqlo pickups, leather belt and black selvedge denim...sub £50 equals good times.

on a sad note thanks to me being very broke in the past month i missed out on my much coveted Lanvin boat shoes. All got snapped up all over London.

That is all until next time Otakus!

Egypt

I am going to Egypt to see family, I will be back in three weeks!

Will post a review of my trip, Egypt seems to be popular this year!

Sun, some Sea and lots and lots of Sand!

Farewell for now!

Insa Dirty Cash!

Well me, Eugene and Trewz and few other cool heads made it to the after party of the recent exhibition, what can i say, it was a pretty sick night!

Free Entry + Free Bar = Good Reason to go!

It took me and Eugene about an hour to find this place, but when we did i walked up the stairs to see Jammer, yes the murkle man in the stairway, so I let him know what i thought of Microphone Champion, and grabbed a pic!

After some hardcore skanking to Jammer, Dubstep, Good Hip-Hop, with some socialising, the night came to an end. I never managed to get a free tee but it was still defo worth going to!

Shout out to everyone who went

For more info and pics on the night check out Trewz, where you can also check out our man Bayu, who took some good photos of the night!

Retro Nike Vandals

Finally Nike have done a proper release just like the OG. As everyone knows the previous re-release to this was a bit WASTE. But Nike have made up for it. The silver pair are a definite cop for myself!!

They have finally all dropped thats why im rehashing this piece of news.

Available in Size? for £70.

Grimey Random Youtube

Skinnyman's Smoking Ban is a SERIOUS song now accompanied with a jokes video. Ive never been a fan of him to be honest but this song is one of my favourites. Why did this not go to number 1 in the charts!? HAHA.




Bashy steps out of line and Ghetto aint having NONE of it. Video is a classic with many memorable quotes from Ghetto. Also my homeboy Mr Wong making an appearance.

If you aint seen this video before...where have u been? if you have lets just enjoy it again!

Louis Vuitton Doing It Big

So Louis Vuitton are doing 2 BIG collaborations in the near future. First we have the collab with Comme Des Garcons, this should be interesting as both brands have always inspired me even though they both have different directions in creativity. Its mostly handbags though so unless your a member of the fairer sex or a man bag-a-phile all we can do is admire the multiple handles, monogram and crazy shapes.

The second collab has the potential to be alot more HYPE (which we all love of course), Pharrell's done his Blason line and the Millies before now its the turn of Kanye West. Its going to be about shoes so this should be more down our alley. No release pics yet or anything but one thing I can gurantee is its going to be Ps.

Star Trak iTunes Live

Well yesterday was the first day of the iTunes festival, a month of free music from iTunes. To kick it off, N*E*R*D, Kenna and Chester French performed, and what a performance it was. I had never really listened to Chester French before the night but i thought they were quite good.\

I had heard the famous Say Goodbye To Love from Kenna, preffering the remix featuring Lupe, if you havent got it, download it HERE!

After having some trouble finding a spare ticket and then losing our place in the que, we finally got in. Eugene managed to meet and chat with Pharrell before the show, me and Milo X were busy eating kebab, which was worth it at the time!

N*E*R*D smashed the stage in half, they started with energetic songs such as Anti Matter, Brain and Spaz then moved on to the "Lover Duvey Shit" such as Run to the Sun and Stay Together, he then got that energy back with an amazing performance of Lapdance, which got everyone jumping!

After the show me and Milo-X waited outside with that Peaches Geldof nobody and some groupies and finally got my icecream beepers signed by Mr P and we got shirts signed by Chad, had a nice little chat with them then hung around a bit after, we saw a giant rat btw!

Shout out to everyone we were queing with and met that night, vids coming soon!

I dunno 'bout these - Nike Air Fusion XX

I saw this on Hypebeast and just don't know what to say about these?

Another release of the Air Force 1 and Jordan "Fusion" combination, this time with the Jordan XX. Other Fusion combinations include the Jordan XII and the Jordan V. However with this one, the combination seemed to be more of the current styles of basketball shoes. Unlike with the previous editions, which had the appeal of the old retrospective 80s look i.e. the Jordan V. However as a Jordan fan (both the shoes and the man himself), the shoes were off putting from the moment he retired for the second time (Jordan XV - Present), as they never represented the greatness whilst he was a player for the Chicago Bulls.

Give your opinions about this shoe?

Lanvin Boat Shoes

Boat shoes have been a big hit this summer, everyone has been buying/making them.

Im sure you have heard about the Lanvin boat shoes already, I fell in love with these a good while ago but since then they have been hyped alot. They are very expensive even by Lanvin standards but when one sees the quality in real life its is truly exquisite. The sole is leather rather than rubber so it would last alot longer than your typical boat shoe.

I also like the fact they are patent and sexy shiny, hopefully I will pick up my pair finally later this week.
