Evil Kicks Beware, the Four Guardians are Here...

Yo, I was flippin through the latest issue of Vice Magazine and saw this on the back...

(ad scanned from vice magazine Vol.14 Number 5)

Nike SB is coming out with a four pack of kicks called the "Four Guardians" inspired by the four guardian animals of China/Japan. The graphics are pretty fresh, each shoe/season has it's guardian animal printed on the sole of each type of shoe. Be on the lookout -- the first shoe is to debut this holiday season, with the other three to follow with it's corresponding season.

$#!T I got at the Vinyl Toy Network Show

Que pasa putos,

Just wanted to show you a couple of fresh finds I got when Juligie, Janus Saint, and I went to the Vinyl Toy Network Spring 2007 Show in Pasadena, CA two weekends back. I would have posted this earlier if I had a digital camera and didn’t live in the dark ages, but lucky for you I finally decided to step out of my dark cave and purchase a D200 which arrived this past Wednesday.

The first booth I went to was Super7 (aka Super7 International Toy Pirates). Super7 resides in San Francisco, my former city of employment. Super7 had lots of different Japanese vinyl toys and t-shirts. The one thing that caught my eye and that I had to have was a t-shirt of one of the greatest animes of all time, Akira. It’s Kaneda in his classic pose braking sideways with his motorcycle. Nothing fancy, just a simple red and orange silhouette of the bad ass.

The second thing I got was a pair of Nike Air Max 1 Skull Pack Edition from Tradition. Tradition is based out in Westlake, CA and sells various vinyl toys and kicks for you urban junkies. I got the shoes for 45 dollars (show special) so that was a no brainer...I had to cop’em, nah mean!?!?

All in all it was a pretty dope show. Lots of toys--even though I didn’t even buy any HA!--and lots of other things like art and clothing. For more on the show, check out Janus Saint's review.

Esta Bien? Orale Pues.

Robots In Disguise!

In anticipation of the upcoming release of the new Transformers movie, I was scouring the net for info surrounding the new feature-length film and came across some stuff you may or may not have seen. But first things first...

I grew up in a household in which Optimus, Megatron, and Starscream were household names and I'm tremendously dissapointed in the amount of change in the movie, but I suppose that with progression comes change - change that isn't necessarily for the better. Optimus looks like crap. Bumble Bee is a Camaro?! And what the hell is Megatron? Isn't he supposed to be a gun?





I do have to say that some of the character designs are quite neat though. I love what they did with Jazz and Ratchet. Those two look pretty darn good.

I need these!!!




I saw these Nike Free 7.0's on niketalk.com a little while back, but there wasn't much info on them at the time. So I decide to look them up on Google earlier today to see what's going on with them and I found a website selling the pair for $58...but they were sold out...and it was just a pre-order! Crazy! I'm going to have to do some hunting for those.




Pictures of these Nike Air Trainer III's surfaced a while back also and I have to say that I kinda like 'em. I don't need them, but if I saw them at a decent price, I just might have to buy them solely on their tie to Transformers.

That's it for today...
Until next time!
