adidas original : kazuki kuraishi

Posted by Caroline On August - 8 - 2010

Yet another adidas original collection…but this time, by Japanese designer Kazuki Kuraishi. Kuraishi is quite unique in that he maintains his independence as an artist.  Having designed for various clothing lines, created album art for various musicians, among other creations, Kuraishi has maintained a fluid sense of design (as it should be), therefore maintaining a fluid sense of designer.

For your viewing pleasure, please enjoy this flawless lookbook.  The quality of the spread and images originally caught my eye.  I don’t know much about the artist, but the content, photograph sequence,  the photographic quality, and the compositions have been put together with what i think of as impeccable taste.  The images have captured the essentials of masculinity, boyhood, taste, and style.  A single photo from the series could have been enough, but the collection of the 12 images have managed to create not only an awesome narrative but it also has the ability to reflect male-ness and style completely and fully.  I fully recognize that my affinity towards this lookbook is partially due to the utterly romanticized version boyhood, which in turn, has further reinforced penis-envy on my end.  But having said that, adidas original really has done a good job at capturing the essence of youth-hood– carefree attitudes, style, and self-indulgence, appropriately titled “felicity”.   Making this a successful project for adidas, if all romanticized ideals can be marketed with amazing photography, making their efforts and intentions explicitly obvious, I can fully submit to the idea of exploiting art to promote consumerism.

hobo brand F/W 2010 Boxing Glove Mittens

Posted by Caroline On July - 23 - 2010

Mitten Glove by hobo

As fall is quickly approaching, fashion is already warming up for the cold.  hobo brand has recently come out with a line of boxing glove mittens–looking sturdy and warm!  Unfortunately, this brand is not available in the United States, but we can all admire these fun boxing glove mittens from the Japanese men’s brand hobo (not to be confused with the handbag line Hobo International).  The color combinations are really bright which would bring cheer in the terrible winter days.  Despite the impracticality of mittens, they really are the way to go for warm hands in the cold seasons. Interesting fact: these products are manufactured right here in the States (!).. but until we get cooler ‘imports’, eye candy for now.  Check out the site here

Race Across The Window 2010

Posted by Letham On June - 8 - 2010

So things have been pretty hectic, hence why there has been a lack of me on this here website. I’ve had a pretty tiring work week, and so I haven’t had much free time to talk to you, but here I am now, kinda on the verge of finishing up this intense period of days.

One of the big reasons why this past week has had me pretty fatigued is because of this event that’s happening at the running store I work at. The event is called Race Across the Window. There’s a team of 8 cyclists that are riding in the front window of our store on a compu-trainer (a bike trainer that mimics elevation change and stuff like that) in 3 hour shifts, for 24 hours until they reach an accumulative 3000 miles. They started this past Thursday at noon and have been riding ever since.

Another, if not more, important note is that they are riding for the CAF (Challenged Athletes Foundation). It’s a foundation that aids to handicapped athletes in achieving their athletic goals. I had a chance to ride with the founder of this event, Jonathan Cane, and have since had the chance to chat with him quite frequently (seeing as he doesn’t really leave the store, cause he, well, can’t). Here’s a quick video I did on the event, Coach Cane, and the CAF.

So visit RaceAcrossTheWindow.com for more information about the event, how to donate, and everything else (there’s also a live stream of the riders on the site, check that at any hour, pretty funny). And if you are in the NYC, stop by Jackrabbit Sports, located on 14th Street between 5th and 6th Ave in the Union Square area. There’s said to be a bunch of big triathletes coming to the store the next couple of days as well as a bunch of CAF athletes and most of them will be guest riding the 2nd compu-trainer along with one of the 8 riders on the Race Across the Window Team. This will probably only go on until Tuesday so come visit while you can.

Dwb.

Australian Zombie Protests Are Definitely Not Drugs

Posted by Portman On March - 18 - 2010

Fans of video games and violence gathered in Sydney to raise awareness about getting an 18+ rating for games in Australia. Because Australia only has up to a 15+ rating in their system they don’t get some of the best and bloodiest games leaving them ill-prepared for the pending Zombie Apocalypse. These guys are awesome.  They got dressed up and made up like zombies and stumbled through the streets moaning and gnawing on each other.

Zombie Protestors

I'd hit it.
