So the last few days have been a bit of fun for me, I thought I’d share a few things today as I really don’t have anything better to do with myself right now…

- t, read on…

Saint Side have teamed up with renowned Australian cartoonist Geoff Hook to created a capsule collection paying homage to the artist’s signature style and the bikes our boys down south are so well known for. These are printed up in 28 of each color, making 56 units in total, individually numbered.

All packs will come in a matt black gift box, with tee, Saint Side S with Hook sticker pack, limited print post card of the art work and Geoff Hook information card x 2, and the gold anodized-oversized fishing hook ornament, this is a multi purpose item that can be worn as a brooch, hat pin, book mark, tie clip, whatever the owner sees fit to use it for.

The release event featuring the artist himself will be held this coming Friday, February 24th. For all the details check out the flyer here.

- t, get down there and show some love if you can!

Our homies at Apartment have delved into the music events game by launching A Love Supreme, a project that sees them hosting gigs for artists they back. To kick things off, March 4th they will be bringing Odissee to their store’s courtyard with the help of our other main man Gavin Boyd and the Soul Has No Tempo crew. Numbers are strictly limited and tickets are only $20, so get something booked before it’s all full up.

The guys at Gourmet footwear have taken a shine to creating some interesting short clips of late. Recently they went and checked out Icon, a company you may or may not be familiar with. They speak to owner Johnathan Ward who gives us insight into their series of FJ Landcruiser based vehicles which truly are some of the most badass cars you can buy with your money at this time. In the second part, they then go on to talk about his “Derelict” projects, which are just as amazing.

Casio and NZ brand Lo.wer have teamed up to create a new sheep themed G-Shock collaboration, releasing January 31st in New Zealand and Australia.

Lately it seems that New Balance Asia have been pumping out some of the nicer shoes the brand currently stocks. The UNDFTD x Stussy x Mad Hectic 996 is by far my favourite release in a long time indeed and the Nonnative 997.5 isn’t too bad looking either. Our homies at UpThere are going to be releasing these bad boys in incredibly limited numbers on February 4th.

Featuring plush materials and a nice monotone dune colour scheme with bright blue hits, the 997.5 does well to not try and be something it isn’t. There was a time when NB Asia were pumping out solid colourways on models not available outside of Japan, but now it seems through retailers like Laced and Up There we’re gaining access to these once impossible to find treasures.

So I don’t really care about it, but I’m sure someone will. Basically OFWGKTA will be doing a pop-up shop at Supply from tomorrow (Tuesday the 24th) until the 29th. If you’re in Sydney and into that sort of thing I’d suggest going to check it out. If, like me, you don’t really care then I suppose I just wasted the last 45 seconds of your life…

Well as you may or may not know, Laced has finally opened up in the new spot on the ground level. After months of saying “not too long” to inquisitive customers we can finally say “Here it is! But it’s not quite done…”. Anyway regardless it’s awesome to finally be down in the public eye. To coincide with the new space we decided to update the store logo and drop some fresh new store tee designs. These four are the first guys, created by yours truly. My personal favourite has to be the Bones tee, although all of them are quite dear to me for obvious reasons.

Each tee is limited to just 20 units, and they can be snatched up either online or in-store.
