We recently posted a story about the Silly Thing: Event Horizon – Retro Journey of the Spraycan Wizard exhibit in Hong Kong. Now we are showing you the tees that are part of that event which were designed by Futura. It’s a special Silly Thing x Futura x Supreme x Undercover collaboration. It bears the Silly Thing logo in spray form at the front, while the title of the exhibit is printed on the back. Definitely a must have item if you get a chance to see this great exhibit.

Undercover recently released some new tees as part of their Fall/Winter 2006 collection. The new shirt range is very bizarre in design, which includes a multi-eyed portrait of a girl, a distorted bear image, a guy with a hand for a face, and other weird graphics. These would surely get people to scratch their heads when they see whats on your shirt.

Watch the new “Principles of Perfection” Video now at Sneaker Freaker. The video goes in depth about crafting the new premium all white leather Air Force 1’s for its 25th year anniversary. As a 25 year veteran in the sneaker game, the folks at Nike did a lot to remodel the all white AF1. Almost every part of the shoe was reconstructed – from leather cross stitching, to smoother tongue inserts, to a whole new brighter palette of white color. Hate to say it, but this new AF1 could be the most perfect AF1 shoe ever made.
