Vans SK-8 HI Woven Japan Limited



In what we assume is part of the celebratory SK-8 HIs restricted to Japan, Vans has created a few different models for the legendary skate shoe’s 30th anniversary. Joining the likes of ABC-Mart’s metallic gold and silver SK-8 His and the Silas-designed joints comes two styles in patent woven form. Each pair exhibits a bit of subdued shine with the black pair also including a wrinkle-like texture similar to the recently seen Slam Jam Air Force 1s. In addition the side panels feature a woven checkerboard design. The black version look dam cool..is our big boys like LE or LF gonna bring in???

Created as a re-issue of 1920’s styled trunk’s, the piece is full encrusted with Crystallized Swarovski Elements. There will only be 30 pieces sold in Europe with no set retail yet, although most of us can only dream. Question: Would you check-in this baggage if you're not allow to bring on-board the plane??

OriginalFake x Star Wars Storm Trooper KAWS Companion MADNESS






The much anticipated Storm Trooper KAWS Companion from OriginalFake was released at the OriginalFake store in Tokyo. As expected, fans, collectors and resellers lined up on a Saturday morning to get their hands on one of these figures. Only 1000 pieces were produced, many of them popping up on Japanese auctions sites right after the release. Those that were unable to purchase one will most likely have to get it the hard way (eBay, Yahoo Auctions japan) in order to complete their Star Wars Companion collection (with the Darth Vader Companion). My friend was there on the day of release but w/o any coupon, he's not allow to "Q" at all... What a waste.
