Hoods Grand Opening Exhibition

Within the next few hours, two influential members of the Japanese fashion world, Tetsu Nishiyama of WTAPS and Shinsuke Takizawa of Neighborhood will open the doors to their Hoods venture. Hoods will act as a haven for both Neighborhood and WTAPS products as both brands establish themselves in their first venture outside of Japan. We recently had a chance to check out the space occupying a spot on the quaint little On Lan Street in Hong Kong’s Central district. The store, much like the surrounding spaces are long and narrow and encompass multiple floors and provides a sort of equilibrium effect with its immediate neighbors BBC | Ice Cream. A special exhibition involving custom tees is on display as part of the Previously Opening Exhibition taking place tomorrow until the stores opening April 1st. Currently the only items for sale include the Hoods Hong Kong “Bombers” t-shirt, retailing for $499 HKD (approximately $64 USD).

adidas Stan Smith Vintage 'Tournament Edition'

Oft-imitated, and one of the bestselling sneakers of all time, the term ‘classic’ is thrown around too often, but in the case of the adidas Stan Smith, it’s entirely appropriate. Clean and versatile, the shoe has been reintroduced in its superior 1977 shape as a 1 to 1 reproduction of this instantly recognizable silhouette as part of adidas’ forthcoming Tournament Pack. Dropping in limited numbers, it’s the perfect antidote to garish retros,with the perforated upper, quality leather, sparing use of forest green and subtle laser etching completing a release that’s well worth a closer look.
