Nylon Magazine recently took viewers on a video tour of Uniqlo’s huge 36,000 square foot global flagship store in the Soho district of New York City. Something interesting to note is that the archesticture for this particular Uniqlo was done by Masamichi Katayama’s Wonderwall group who are also responsible for the masterminding of numerous different buildings including various A Bathing Ape stores.

The Honeyee Store has recently updated it’s stock with new items from Visvim. An all new crocodile skin Twombly offers a classic rendering of an exotic material, subtle enough to not create any unwanted distractions when worn. They are available in three colors that include white, black, and brown. Other new releases include the Merckx Sea Island Long Sleeve Crew and the Nico Plain Long Sleeve Crew. Despite the relatively plain appearance of these two different crew necks, the stories lies in the choice of content chosen to create these two shirts. The Nico crew was manufactured with Egyptian Giza 45 cotton. Giza 45 cotton is known for its long fibers and some have likened it as the king of all cottons. However Sea Island cotton is no slouch as well due to it’s equally exotic qualities such as softness and silky feel.
The calendar just rolled into May a few days ago and with it came a new update at the Nike Skateboarding site. Along with that came a little bit of everything with two new Blazers (one of them being the Vanilla Ice Blazer in red), a brown Abbington, a Tiffany-esque Air Zoom Team Edition, a gray SB Classic and an Air Zoom Harbor.
The Sapporo collaborations keep on coming with the latest via Zoo York and the creation of this special longboard setup. A Zoo York graphic is featured on the bottom alongside Sapporo and the Sapporo star carved out in the grip tape. This is another item available exclusively at Sapporo Runway Show in Miami later this week.

Aside from the obvious choice basketball and baseball, Michael Jordan is a big fan of motorsports which resulted in the creation of Michael Jordan Motorsports 4 years ago. To commemorate it’s 4th Anniversary, Jordan Brand have aptly released a special Jordan IV in the same colors of the team. The sneaker also features the Mars Blackmon logo on the heel like Fire Red IV’s. No word yet on a public release but it would be safe to assume these will be hard to come by outside of people affiliated with Jordan Brand.
