I have to admit that I have recently fallen in love with Frank Kozik’s Smorkin’ Labbit character. It’s just so damn good. Like the huge glow in the dark one would be perfect as a focus point in my room. Anyways, a whole new crew of mini-labbits are coming mid-september from Kidrobot! The new series has 15 different mini-labbits including some chase figures. Hooray! Vinyl Pulse.
Finally! For those of you unfamiliar with Uniqlo, they are basically the Gap of Japan, but in a good way, their products and quality are better than anybody else in that sector. Like they would crush GAP. Lots of really good quality clothes at really cheap prices. Clean and simple, high quality, no frills: just the way I like it. So anyways, this September the SOHO VICE store will become Uniqlo @ Vice. They’ve picked out the best items from their fall line to showcase at the Vice store on Lafayette before opening their official Uniqlo stores across the US. Thanks to ASF for the heads up.
So we had a look at the Polkadot Kaws Bapestas yesterday, today we find an article from Friday magazine with some more info on them and a couple more colorways. It seems as though they are ‘Pop Art’ Kaws Bapestas inspired by the dot pattern comic art of Roy Lichtenstein! It mentions Silver Bullets…Silver Bullet Comics? Interesting to see Bape getting so deep into the comic scene. Nice to see them taking a new direction as well; getting away from all the patent leather. via Kix-Files.
Even more shots of the soon-to-be-released Nike Futura P-Rod have surfaced on Cliquenmove. Why was Channel 6 scared of 7? Because 7 8 9! Get it.. ate.. haha.. Check those channels for the shots! When and where this will drop is still unknown, but this is one hot shoe! (could it be London?)
Death to our friends! We can’t get enough of Mishka here at HYPEBEAST! The latest on them is that they’ve launched their new website; you can pre-order gear from the new line and have a chance at winning a prize! They even have a women’s collection as well as some nice collabos with SSUR and Mighty Healthy! If you want to know more, check out this interview on ASF for words from Mikhail, which includes a shot of them looking at my post about MAGIC! Head over to the Mishka site to check out the full line.
