Fan of the artist Kaws will love this one. Original Fake will be soon releasing some socks utilizing Kaws’ signature “X” marks. The socks will come in four colorways and will be avialable at the Original Fake store in Japan as well as Original Fake dealers worldwide.
We have always loved how art or logos can be used in wearable and household products so these socks are quite refreshing from the usual form of t-shirts.

Here’s an auction going down featuring allegedly artwork by artist Kaws, Faile and Neck Face. Taking place on a good ol’ 1996 Dodge Ram, the art work is of unknown authenticity, but perhaps a buyer could parade it around and lure streetwear kids in with promises of free t-shirts… modified Bangbus styles. The eBay link can be seen here.

Stickers have been a part of this culture since the beginning. People have used stickers to spread their message or just to promote whatever they’re promoting. People have collected stickers and there have even been cases where people resold stickers for a profit. The brand Original Fake, has released a new sticker set which includes six stickers all designed by KAWS. They are now available at Cruisin.

This year, Edison will release his long-awaited Cantonese album and just recently he has given a sneak peek into his new song’s music video.
