Adidas 35th Anniversary Expression Series at Livestock!

Today at around 10:00am Livestock in Vancouver released the Adidas 35th Anniversary Expression Series. I was there at around 8am and luckily there was only a short line-up but as the time neared opening time, more and more people arrived. There were probably 35+ people in total at the end. The staff were pretty organized and efficient at giving us our sneakers. Sizes ran out quick! I was around 15th in line and people behind me didn't really get their sizes. I didn't get my Captain Tsubasas either. But I got 3 other pairs, the Adicolor, Upper Playground and Disney Goofy. In addition, Livestock sold their Livestock Adidas 35th Anniversary shirts which I didn't get because I ran out of money. Livestock also had a nice 35th Anniversary display at the front of their store.

I have detailed pictures of the Adicolors, Goofys and Upper Playground.

Adidas 35th Anniversary Adicolor Customs

With the release of the Adicolor, people have already been customizing their own sneakers. I found one that stood out from the crowd. In addition to the awesome blood splatter effects, the use of the laces really won me over. This shoe has just been released so it's just the beginning of what will be see in the future. Pictures are from Assault on Crooked Tongues.

Nike Air Force 1 Womens

As I said before, all the good stuff is given to the females first. This Camo Gum Sole Air Force 1 is no exception. Billionaire Boys Club's Ice Creams seemed to bring a new trend. After BBC used their clear gum sole on their shoes, now everyone is doing the same. Nevertheless, the gum sole on this pair is hot! In my opinion, the color is kinda average.

New Bathing Ape Bapesta!

Finally! Bapestas without all the patent leather. Like me, you've probably gotten pretty sick of all the Bapesta clones. One by one, Bape was releasing patent leather after another. It's finally over! These new ones will include a suede on the toe and on the side. In addition the bottom will be clear gum sole which really freaking rocks. It comes in 4 colors: black/black, chocolate/camel, navy/grey, light green/green.

Autumn/Winter Upcoming Vans

Guys at One40five store got a chance to meet the makers of Vans and got a sneak peek at the upcoming Autumn/Winter 2005 line. All the new Vans keep their original and simple look.

Nike Air Zoom Trainer LA

Usually I'm not a big fan of runners other than the Air Max series but this is something that caught my eye. The shoe itself is nothing special but I find that the colorway rocks. I checked on ebay to try to find this but all I found were crappy colors. This runner is called Air Zoom Trainer LA or Vapor. It's made of super lightweight artificial leather which constitutes as the upper and TPU support overlay in the middle of the foot as a stiffener. Sounds good? There's more. The sole is made of rubber, urethane and more artificial leather. This makes probably the fastest shoe on the planet.

Milo Reversible Shirt "Phantom"

If you have read about Nigo somewhere in magazines, you'll probably know that he has tons of nice cars including one of his favorite, the Rolls-Royce Phantom. It is no surprise then that he would include one of his shirts dedicated to the car. The long sleeved shirt is reversible as you can see in the picture. Along with the cool Phantom design and good quality of the shirt, who could pass up on this nice shirt.

Bathing Ape Cycling Gloves

From condoms to umbrellas, Nigo just keeps producing everything he can think of. Now he comes out with these Bape cycling gloves which comes in two versions, the normal and the simple. The normal version (left picture) fits good for all your bike riding. The Bape logo is made of rubber and is on the topl side. The ape logo is embroidered on the palm side. For the simple version (right picture), on first impression, it just looks like a simple glove. However, when you look at the palm part, the Ape logo is nicely embroidered on it. The top side is a mesh material.

If you're one of those lucky people who have hook ups to the PSP or if you can afford those crazy ebay prices, you probably won't need to read this. But if you're one of those people who's drooling and still anticipating for the release for the PSP, then this is a nice review to look at. Overall, the PSP's functions include playing music, video, pictures and of course games. It has a awesome screen that makes "games feel like full size console games" and the PSP itself looks sweet.
