Dalek has developed some great new toys, the ice-bots! They will be released October 13th at Kidrobot. Kidrobot explains it best:
“Graffiti artist, painter, toy designer, and amateur naturalist Dalek first made contact with the Ice-Bots one hot summer night when he stuck his head into his open refrigerator, attempting to cool his fevered brain. Some Ice-Bots are fun, some are mean, and some are sad, but with one thing in common: all Ice-Bots like to keep cold. At home, Ice-Bots have little microwaves that cool food down to edible temperatures and showers that emit tiny blocks of ice. Ice-Bots get from place to place by skiing and sledding, and are very fridge-proud. Maintenance of the wintry build-up of frost in their native refrigerators requires incredible discipline and expertise in the use of crampons, ropes, and ice picks. However, Ice-Bots do have an evil enemyƒ_à stay tuned.” Info from High*Snobiety.
With all the attention around the Diamond & Co Supply Nike Dunk SB companies have been quick to produce tees to match it. One of those following UNDFTD recent collaboration is Huf SF.

I don’t want to blow up anyone’s auction but it seems like the Nike Shanghai 2 Dunk SB’s are already up on eBay. These are not officially released yet but it seems like someone has gotten their hands on a couple pairs. The interesting fact is that these Shanghai 2 SB’s will come with the “string” laces that were seen in earlier pictures. These should be dropping sometime in September.
