Hi Y’all,

The Saturday’s started off soggy, weather-wise that is. It was awesome to observe the snow-fall for the past few days, but alas then came the warm air and now the snow is on it’s way off. Well to be honest we still have some snow, but it’s only the beginning of November so I suppose we’ll have to wait little bit longer for the real winter. But it’s all good, much love to the seasonal changes, heh.

This Saturday I wanted to drop another Kicks Edition. In the last Kicks Edition, I realised it was all about Nike, so this time I tried not to focus too much on the Nikes. So I will start off with the Nikes and then work my way to other kicks, haha.

Starting off with the on-going comeback of Reebok Pumps. I remember just 4 years back I was checking new kicks for myself and came across a pair of Pumps at a sneaker-store in Malaysia. I mean ever since there have been number of Pumps releases from Reebok in the past few years. This year is no exception, actually this marks the 20th anniversary of the Reebok Pumps and thus there have been fresh releases celebrating the “revolution” in the world of sneakers. The throwback look is the key with a recent Reebok Pump Bringback x 24 KILATES collabo below.

KILATES is not the only collaboration in the horizon, as Sydney’s very own Espionage has also collaborated in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Reebok Pump. This particular release is rather limited with only 31 pairs produced.

The ah so compulsory Nike portion of the Kicks Edition. Seriously there will be an issue with no Nikes, just not yet. This week I’m calling out another collaboration between Nike Sportswear, producer DJ Clark Kent and Undefeated’s founder Eddie Cruz.

Fresh introduction in their Rivalry Collection is the Un-Gucci Dunk that has definitely been influenced by the 2006 Team Manager Gucci High Dunk SB. Still it’s not the same as you can see. The Un-Gucci features, black ostrich leather and red croc skin swoosh as well as sticky rubber sole. Not a bad sneaker, not at all. And should go well with your Gucci belt, heh.

Lastly just brought out something different to mix the pack. Swedish Gram has brought out an Xbox collaboration in celebration of the release of Forza Motorsport 3. These hand painted shoes are available on eBay and the funds go to charity. Just a few words of the brand. According to the brand’s bio adopted from their website, “Gram was founded in Stockholm, april 2005 by Alexis Holm and Anna Stenvi. The companys primary goal is to design and produce a range of unique shoes, that reflect the present, yet rely on the past.” The shoe is not as abstract as the Playstation sneakers from Nike, but hey the funds go to good cause (I hope, heh).

That’s all for now, but we’ll be back with more to come. Check out the new releases we got from KIKS TYO and stay tuned for more. Hope we get more snow and hopefully the snow stays on the ground. Damn it’s dark out there, haha. It will soon be something straight out of 30 Days of Night, without the vampires. Alright, I’m out. Take care of yourselves and be easy. Peace.
