  • Yeezy Boost 350 “Oxford Tan”

    Yeezy Boost 350 “Oxford Tan”

    When Kanye released the first Yeezy 350 to the market, it was really hyped up and was impossible to get a pair from raffles or the Adidas app release. I really want to thank my friend Wes and @TheNikeDestroyer for helping me acquire these!

    When I received the package it was straight from Adidas . It felt like the Holy Grail in my hands.

    In the package, the design is kept simple and minimal.

    Now is unboxing time. Very nice color ways and I personally like moon rock more, but oxford tan is the one that still hasn’t restocked yet.

    Thanks my friends help me fulfill my dream to own my first pair Yeezy’s. To me, this makes more interested to learn about sneaker culture. I have total respect to real sneaker heads for being able to keep up with releases, they are supporting the culture and community.

  • UNIQLO X JW ANDERSON 2019 SS

    UNIQLO X JW ANDERSON 2019 SS

    I’m a huge fan of Uniqlo, every season they try to introduce new collaborations and designs. This time my favorite English designer JW Anderson is coming with a great summer line up. I’m very happy with my purchase! The summer pieces with an English vibe and the SEERSUCKER suit set are by far my Favorite.

    Check the MEN TAILORED JACKET (SEERSUCKER) $69.90, a perfect outfit for summer, and is very comfortable.

    It Also came with the match short and pant. MEN RELAXED DRAWSTRING SHORTS. The drawstring makes the design match and even cooler.

    The Socks also came with different colors. I picked up the Navy blue as it will be easier to match with other outfits.

  • A BATHING APE® x PUMA

    A BATHING APE® x PUMA

    My top choice for street wear is Bape, they are the most established brand from asia and created by Nigo, I was lucky to able find this rare item from Puma x Bape Collab.

    The detail and design for the item is unique and stylistic to give respect to both brands. Definitely worth the price.

  • Pacsun x Fear Of God Essentials collection.

    Pacsun x Fear Of God Essentials collection.

    Jerry Lorenzo’s the owner of the Fear of God diffusion line, recently released an exclusive line with Pacsun. The Prices range from $40 to $350 US. Personally, I think this type of line doesn’t meet the standards as original F.O.G products. The price and design didn’t balance at all. the simple design and overcharged price for sure the line will end up on the clearance rack at Pacsun.

    I was able to get the solid yellow on black color on their sales page. .

    For the black tee I was lucky to be able to check the local store for the design before the release. Overall I think  Jerry and PacSun still try clearing up the stuff leftover from season one into today, sadly the sale and quality and design didn’t balance well, many FOG fans commented the design being way too boring to pay for the high price.

  • POGO Masters of the Universe Mini Figures

    POGO Masters of the Universe Mini Figures

    Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a huge fan of Masters of the Universe and He-man.

    After doing a lot of for online researching, I finally found a brand, based in China, called Pogo.

    They definitely sell bootleg items. They actually released all 16 mini figures of He-Man. I’m not typically a huge fan of bootleg toys but these had such cool designs.

    Here, you can see all of the figures Pogo has released. Some other blogs have shared the prototype.

    The mini figures prototype didn’t look bad at all.

    I found them on Taobao and got the complete set for a very reasonable price.

    I was amazed by the quality. They really made their packaging similar to Lego.

    In my opinion, they were totally worth it. Only one of them had a small issue from installation but everything else was good.

  • DMX Fusion Experiment by Pyer Moss

    DMX Fusion Experiment by Pyer Moss

    The first time I saw a blog talking about this collaboration, Reebok selected this new fashion designer and label called Pyer Moss.

    Pyer Moss was founded in 2013 by Kerby Jean-Raymond. Jean-Raymond describes the brand as an “art project” or “a timely social experiment” at times.

    Pyer Moss aims to use its voice and platform to challenge social narratives and evoke dialogue. His design was a completely new idea, redefining the old classic DMX model.

    The first releases sold out quickly and I wasn’t able to get them anywhere. I waited for a restock and found them for a deal in Spain.

    The box design was unique and new. The regular release came in a brown Rebook box.

    The design for the shoe has many different ways you can customize it such as different ways to lace them up. They also came with 2 different color shoelaces.

    The designer left a very special message. I appreciate small details like this.

    I think the shoes are worth getting. People will definitely take notice.

  • NIKEiD Metallic Gold Olympic Options

    NIKEiD Metallic Gold Olympic Options

    Nike Sportswear has been celebrating the Rio Olympics by releasing special edition features. A plethora of both new and iconic USA-themed running models pave the way for more Gold Medal wins.

    Today, we see the return of “Liquid Metal” look with new NIKEiD options on the Nike Air Force 1 and Nike Air Max 90.

    I decided to get the AF 1high top. I was so excited for my first customized AF1 by nike.

    The box looked more square, compared to the regular AF 1 box.

    The side has NikeiD on it.

    The customizable option has flags from many different countries.

    On the back, you can pick your own text or letter to personalize it.

    The Liquid Metal looks awesome! I was going to get the silver one for my 2nd option, but the sole has option the lunar sole option but will cost more.

    Overall, the price is little higher but has a lot of cool personalization options.

  • Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Semi Frozen Yellow’

    Yeezy Boost 350 V2 ‘Semi Frozen Yellow’

    The Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 “Semi Frozen Yellow” originally dropped in late 2017.

    On December 14th, 2018, it was the second restock. Somehow Yeezy re-issued an old release, the same way Jordan brings back their retro classic every 5 years.

    It’s a good second chance to cop them but bad for resale value.

    I was able to get them online. Most major stores carry releases from Yeezy.

    There’s nothing new with the box and tissue paper.

    The color is really bright like a neon yellow highlighter.

    I’m not a huge fan of this color since it’s a bit hard to pair it with an outfit. I might sell them.

    Both pairs dropped around the same time. The static has a way better colorway and features a new design.

  • I Love Ugly x JanSport Ironsight Backpacks

    I Love Ugly x JanSport Ironsight Backpacks

    When the New Zealand label, I Love Ugly, announced their collection with JanSport, they ended up selling out really quickly.

    I did some research on which retailers would be carrying the collection. I found out that they had them in a store inside a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia.

    The design and color are awesome! This limited edition backpack has a sleek silhouette and is crafted from durable wool felt and has a custom lining. It also features multiple compartments with zippers, traveling use.


    This photo was taken inside the Pullman Hotel. The artwork featured is by local Griffith artist, Darbotz.
    The backpack size is great for traveling.

    Make sure you check out the full details and more information on the I Love Ugly website:
