To celebrate his Quarrybay 2006 football series and his obsession with football, Michael Lau recently produced this 24K gold figure. It can only be seen on display at the DPMHI store in Soho. Talk about toys reaching the high end market. The figure is 6 inches high and is a reproduction of his Jules Rimet World Cup Trophy inspired vinyl figure. However, this figure will not be for sale.

Nike hooked up with +41 to produce a Nike Air Max 1 iD shoe. According to +41, they wanted to give the shoe a “mythical” theme because it’s what draws people to look. Which brings us to the design of the eyes on the toungue:
the intention is to switch the ordinary roles: instead of people looking at the sneakers, it’s thesneakers that look at you!
Also the shoe represents Nike’s vision in terms of history and what they’ve accomplished. Only 41 pairs of these kicks were made and came in a “straw” package that included a +41 Air Max 1 artwork t-shirt and a pack of “eyes” stickers.
Now for the heartbreak. The shoes are all sold out and was only available at the Thomas I Punkt store in Hamburg. Proceeds from the benefit goes to charity, and the exhibition at the store will continue for three weeks more. Last chance to purchase a pair of thes Air Max 1’s will be through an international auction at Zurich this October.

A few of the new UNDFTD pieces dropped at the Undefeated Shop in japan. UNDFTD is blastin’ off this season with an all-over print hoodie, a stadium jacket, and some longsleeve baseball tees. Not a lot of stuff for this season yet, but we should assume that more stuff should be trickling down for releases. Also, UNDFTD will be releasing a Bearick in a shoebox type packaging. Nice! Just in time for you Bearbrick fans.
