Releasing September 2007 is latest line from Mega (whose from HUF). Using an interesting approach, the label is currently without a name and only after the 5th season will a name be chosen to best reflect the line. Each season is divided into chapters with an underlying theme as the inspiration to the design of the shirt. Look for this line to release at some of the top stores worldwide such as Rogue Status shop, HUF, Kicks Hi, St. Alfreds, Patta, Goods and Union NYC. You can see more images of the line after the jump but they’re not really work safe.

As Beijing just celebrated the official one year countdown to the 2008 Olympics, a battle is brewing on the horizon between China’s three largest athletic brands, adidas, Nike and Li-Ning. Two of the three should immediately illicit a response, however the 3rd brand Li-Ning is no push-over and recently signed Shaquille O’Neal on board. A short interview was conducted by Darren Rovell with each of the brands to understand their respective approach to the 2008 Olympics. It is interesting to see Nike battling it out with adidas, with Nike sponsoring the athletic equipment of 22 teams. However the winning athletes will take to the podium in adidas gear. Li-Ning has taken a strategic approach and chosen to sponsor the gymnastics, table-tennis and diving teams. The reasoning behind this decision is that an expected 40-50% of all of China’s medals are expected to come from these events. An interesting read that also encompasses the forthcoming outlook regarding the sportswear scene in China. Check out the article here.
