SiLLY THING x Amos Toys Chapel of Dawn Wrestling Elves Updated
Earlier this month, TK from SiLLY THING previewed their latest foray into the toy segment with their Chapel of Dawn Wrestling Elves created in association with Amos Toys. It was said that much thought and mathematically equations were needed to produce a figure which could replicate the same vision as seen on Juno Mak’s album art for his disc Chapel of Dawn. The album art was originally conceived by James Jarvis. Here’s a new updated look providing a view of both the Elves wrestling and separated. The Elves represent a struggle between good and bad. Look for these to hit the Amos Shop and SiLLY THING outlets at the end of November.

It’s undeniable the strong relationship the Nike Air Force 1 has shared with music and DJs in the past. As part of the continued festivities of the Nike Air Force 1 25th Anniversity, Rane joined forces to create the Air Force 1 and Scratch Live Package. This cross-branded project signifies the intersection of sports, music and innovation within hip-hop culture.
Much like the debut of the Air Force 1 in 1982, Rane’s Serato Scratch Live has produced a revolutionary product. DJs around the world can now avoid lugging around huge crates of vinyl in favor of a laptop, all while using vinyl control records on their turntables to control their digital music files.
Another integral part of the package is the inclusion of a special Head Porter custom-made DJ bag. The DJ bag allows for the transportation of a laptop, the Scratch Live units and accessories. The bag’s upper is constructed of white ballistic nylon with Nike markings and the sole of the AF1 on the bottom of the bag. This special package was created in limited numbers for leading DJs around the world.
In an attempt to fuse ecological awareness with creative design, Rolland Berry has teamed up with Reebok once again to create this latest series of sneakers. Much of the upper for each sneaker utilizes hand chosen vintage fabrics from the 60s and early 70s. These one of a kind sneakers also include the use of remnant fabrics from old Reebok projects. Despite all these one of a kind features, each sneaker will have a green strip along the midsole, green lining on the footbed, green tongue logo and a shoe bag created from fabrics seen on each respective sneaker. Available soon at Barneys New York.
