On March 27th, 2005, Datmo, a Japanese cellphone maker, releases their P901i phone along with this limited Bathing Ape phone strap and cover. If my translation is correct, the Bathing Ape strap and cover is made by toy giant, Medicom. Comes in both pink and blue. Unfortunatly, no one else other than people in Japan will be able to use this as most Japanese cellphones can only be used in Japan.

Crooked Tongues has some new pictures of the Nike Considered Generation II. Personally I didn’t like the first Nike Considered much but hopefully these Generation II will be better. The design of the Nike Considered Generation II is inspired by the Nike Blazer and Dunk. Combine it with the Nike Free soles and we get the Generation II. This interesting combination comes in both a high and low version.

I can’t wait for these to come out if they ever do come out! They are the Nike Air Force 1 “Sakura”. “Sakura” is the cherry blossom tree which is nicely lasered onto the shoe. This particular “UENO” version is a sample for the shoe store Mita Sneakers in Japan. “UENO” is a place in Tokyo where many of the sneaker shops are located.
edit: Apparently these were released in Japan yesterday rumored to be limited to only 500 pairs.
edit: More pictures at Alternative Sneakers. Damn I love the box!

I’m not a big fan of saving up coins because first, they’re heavy and second, they’re dirty. Now I’ll have an excuse to save up my coins with this new Baby Milo Piggy Bank. Even if you don’t use it as a piggy bank, it makes a nice display.
After you saved up enough coins, you can go get this newly released Bathing Ape Tee. On the front, the Bapesta logo has some cool interlacing effect applied to it. On the back, there’s a picture of a Bapesta shell toe sneaker.

Designed by Piet Parra, this Nike Air Max 1 “Amsterdam” sample is the first sample of the Capitol Series. These samples were actually rejected by Nike but a final version will be on it’s way! Even if you don’t like the shoe, you got to love the insoles and hopefully the insoles will make it to final version of the shoe.
