Magazine phenomenon. Arrives in New Zealand. When? Soon. Why? We don't know. How? Air Freight. Who? No bloody idea. What? The hell but there's a launch party.

"LAST COPY" involves a couple of dirty design geniuses who don't do crack or listen to folk. Ever thought "Let's pull finger and start a magazine" ? Well, these guys beat you to the finger pulling. Wipe your tears away as these kids are indeed looking for contributors.

Sneaker Freaker launch

Sneaker Freaker launch at 'SIZE' covent garden, London. I kinda arrived late, due to trains being slow or me being slow, you decide. All the issue 10 of sneaker freaker had sold out for that night. So the journey back on the train wasn't so exciting. But a took a couple of pics for ya. Good vibes all round and me and natalie managed to get asked to pose for another website photo. aotearoa pride. There is a launch soon at 'Loaded' in Auckland, check sneakerfreaker.com for details.

Hope Foundation

Get amongst this event if your going to be in Auckland on the 2nd of August. You get a fashion show, a short film release, some sweet tunes, free drinks, and if its the same as last year a bottomless bowl of jerky sticks. What more could you ask for Best of all it goes to charity.

Doom update

So the Doom Dunks have basically sold out everywhere i have looked.
They are being dropped in NZ through the likes of Loaded and Nevada, and other major SB stockists throughout the country. Numbers are super limited and from what i've heard most have been pre-sold!
I've got mine on lock (Yeah Andy!), if you havn't already, i'd get my dial on!

DOOM DOES DUNKS

So my favourite rapper in the world MF Doom has released a colab sneaker with Nike SB. There has been talk of this release for a minute now, but finally!
Being released in selected stores in the States tomorrow.
Not to sure on when/if they will be hitting our shores but here's hoping.
Japan had an earlier release date, this could explain the masses on ebay.



Roumored last year also was a Quasimoto Dunk, let's hope these ones get the go ahead!

POW!

What the CRAP????

Ok, so my flatmate Liv (who i thought liked me) just got back from Hong Kong. She brought back a frickin huge load of clothes, shoes, cartoon toys, bags..etc. You would think that if your flatmate went to such a sweet city she would bring you back something cool. But apparently not. This was her present to me..



What!!! To inform you, beacuse im assuming your confused, these according to Liv are Jandal Socks. You wear them under your jandals and high heels, and the lace bit shows to the world. Its like a "G-thong" for your feet. Great, im so excited.
However, from the moment i put them on, i havent wanted to take them off. They come everywhere with me, and get worn with a number of shoe apparel, or even on there own. I predict that by the end of the year everyone will want a pair of Jandal Socks. So contact Livy to hook yourself up a pair, before every-one clicks on to the ultimate coolness of Jandal Socks. :)

George Terrific

George Terrific. Another Aussie conglomerate in the vein of schwipe etc. Rocking again the carrot jeans, oversize tee's and fluro. Keep it coming while it's hot. They have some rad stuff, i like the micket mouse influence and the jeans do look good.

Your logo here

A new book my Deanna Templeton - Your Logo Here. Interesting, about cali beach kids becoming walking billboards. Released by P.A.M.

The crotch huggers

High waist jeans. Just the thought of something sitting right up there clenching your bum and squezzing out your rolls on your stomach gives me the sweats. But with the high, high riders penetrating stores all over auckland i though i better give them ago. I have to say that the thought of something sitting that high had to be uncomfortable, but no they were super comfy and we found we could do a multitude of activites in them. Jump squat, you name it. In these babies you can do anything.







To conclude i found these high pants unexpectedly nice, and havent taken them of all day. I definitly suggest everyone (except the guys),(unless your into that sort of thing)to get a pair.
