BENEATH has upped and left the island of Sodermalm in Stockholm, its home for a year for the island of Kungsholmen, to what was once a photography lab on the third floor of an old silver factory. The entrance to the new store is a non-descript doorway on a back street, three floors up in the industrial buidling is the store. The interior was created by UK illustration duo Andrew Rae and Chrissy Macdonald from collective www.peepshow.org.uk, the entire interior will be re-designed by a new team of creatives this autumn.
Here’s the new Bathing Ape x MadFoot! Bapesta collaboration. It looks pretty clean but I would rather take a pair of Bape x Kaws Bapestas.

Here’s pictures and a description of this exclusive Nike Lebron 20.5.5 by shundy on Niketalk:
“These were at this past weekends Chamber of Fear event in Cleveland, Ohio where they auctioned off all 5 pairs in existence which include a special lasered wooden box. They made sizes 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The actual designer of all of the Lebrons was there and gave me the info on these. The shoe is a special colorway makeup just for the Cleveland event. The general release version WILL NOT be available in this color and WILL NOT have the state of Ohio lasered on the strap or the #23 lasered on the other strap.”
The Nike Air Jordan IVs were recently released on the internet on Jumpman23. People from the US has started to received them and are posting pictures of theirs on sneaker forums. These pictures posted here are from the Crooked Tongues forum. You can check out more pictures at Niketalk.

Second, we have the Nike Air Jaq which is rumored to be released in September. Finally we have the Nike FREE 4.0 which will be released in August-September.
I wish I was in Hong Kong right now. Here’s the Mr. Shoe exhibition currently that’s currently taking place.
Mr. Shoe Shop’s exhibition (Sample) displays 100 hand-painted figures (Nike Air Force 1). Most of the designs are inspired by Nike’s cross-over sneaker designs. Others are from Michael Lau’s own. The setting of the exhibition hall is a simulation of a sneaker store, with 100 figures displayed on top of shoe boxes.
