What’s good y’all?

One thing’s for sure, I am not feeling all too well. Remember when I mentioned that I felt much better already after some rest, well that was what we could refer to as calm before the storm. Damn, that’s all I can say. Three days of seasonal flu ain’t too precious. I’m down with a flu but definitely not down with the flu.

My biggest achievement in the past few days has been the finished Born Rich TVB series marathon at casa de Tony_Stark. Lucky I have had my lovely wife to accompany yours truly. The series was not half bad and I don’t even remember when was the last time I was watching Hong Kong drama series, haha. I guess last time was back in Singapore or Malaysia over a year ago.

Well enough of complains, back to business. Before my unfortunate encounter with the seasonal flu, we picked up few newcomers from our friends at KIKS TYO. I mentioned the name Yuki Hoashi just few days back and here she is in all her glory. The new limited edition Baby J’s and Terminator Tees featuring the lovely Ms. Hoashi. The tees are now available and if you want to ensure a piece just contact us and we’ll put one aside for you.

Lastly something new for the Spring Season. A 3/4 denim shirt. All you can get from the shirt at this point is a sneaky sneak peek. More will follow shortly.

As mentioned in the past, The Year Of… brand has expanded its market to the liqueur scene releasing an exclusive Sake limited to 120 bottles.  According to The Year Of… “this Daiginjo, was brewed by the superb water from the famous Ibuki Mountain, in Japan. The family responsible for this delicacy has brewed sake since 1672.” Now’s that a long time. The cost per bottle is 155 USD and the bottle and packaging feature art by renowned artist Simon Birch and in a style true to the brand mixes the best ingredients and artisan spirit all packed to a nice bottle. There are 20 super limited bottles that include the gold flake version of the sake. So if you’re lucky it could be yours. It is the year of the golden tiger after all. The little birdies chirped that there are still few bottles left so if you’re a friend of sake or the brands, or just enjoy the finer things in life you can contact us or theyearof.net for details.

I would believe this is not the last you will be hearing about this sake. Naturally we will keep you posted.

Then to the sneak(er) preview mentioned on the headline. My pursuit of awesome kicks for the summer is still going on, but although I might have not found my sneakers just yet, that doesn’t mean I could not help you in your pursuit (should you be thinking of a pair of kicks for the summer).

I present to you: The Year Of… x K-Swiss Sneakers.

The Year Of… brand is known for their collaborations and this one is somewhat a classic. The shoes are as rare as it gets with a limited number released for the Hong Kong market. Needless to say just like the sake, these are made with precision and feature signature TYO details such as gold foil vine design on the side and “burned” The Year Of… stamp on the back. I would cop myself a pair of these in an instant but being the bog foot I am I can only have myself a pair as a collector’s piece. But then again my size 14 US feet are notoriously picky when it comes to shoes. The available sizes range from 40 to 44 (European sizes) at the moment.

That said , the shoes are available in selected sizes but feel free to contact us for details on the available sizes and pricing of the shoes.

That’s all for now. I’m off to continue my healing process to get myself back in action by Monday. Be easy everyone and have a great weekend.
