This stellar selection includes limited edition releases such as KIKSTAGE x Aya Kiguchi, Kana Tsugihara’s FLOM and Box Chair as well as new Shanadoo collaboration featuring Boks-Kun designed by Jor.

The FLOM tee is one of the most coveted tees of the recent past and I’m pretty sure it’s not just the kicks in the picture that count. Whether it’s For Love Or Money, this shirt’s a winner.

The Box Chair tee also features gravure model Kana Tsugihara, this time in a pair of Jordans making a very good use of a pile of sneaker boxes. In case you were wondering what to do with your sneaker boxes, just pile them up and use them as furniture.

The Shanadoo collaboration cheers me up not just for the colors (and Shanadoo) but because of the Boks-Kun grin as well. He’s all smiles.

Last but definitely not least, we have the KIKSTAGE collaboration featuring KIKS TYO’s favorite girl Aya Kiguchi. The shirt is the KIKS TYO version of the KIKSTAGE collaboration. The collaboration produced a STAGE version as well, which is sold out in most locales retailing Stage Hyaline of the World. The lovely “lion” in the picture by the way is Karter, Stage’s mascot. Fresh colors and awesome print. This shirt is among my favorites.

We’re not finished with the new goods, but it takes some time to get the shirts online. The idea is to bring a set of QUOLOMO x MOSATSU tees on the site as well. No later than tomorrow. Mark my words. But until then, stay safe and take care of you and yours, it’s cold outside.

In the constant battle against piracy and sales of counterfeit products, all KIKS TYO tees for the season include original tags which you can see below.

So when getting AW2010 KIKS TYO tees be sure to look out for the tags you see in the pictures. Piracy is a huge problem around the world and although counterfeit goods may feel like an alternative, they are and will never be the same and can not match the original good. So support the originals, support the brand and support us. That’s all for this edition, be on the lookout for the new shirts being added to our online store and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us for details. Peace

The World Cup in South Africa is going to kick off soon and with all the basketball related editions, I thought it would be fair to post a little something on the biggest event in the world of soccer.

The fashion world is reacting fast to this type of event. Premium watch company Hublot signed a big deal being the official time keeper of the games.

It’s obvious the big names like Adidas and Nike are working hard to bring their names up. The once in four years event is huge advertising opportunity to the labels. Plenty of collectibles are appearing on the sports stores’ shelves and the stuff is naturally limited edition since the 2010 World Cup in SOuth Africa is a once in a lifetime thing. The next games will only happen in four years.

Don’t forget, the whole world is watching the games. Below the official world cup commercials of the “biggest” sports houses in the world.

When talking about soccer we can’t forget Umbro, which has been a household name in the soccer scene for ages. I mean I was never too much into soccer but remember having a jersey and a ball by Umbro when growing up. Umbro has a pretty sexy campaign for their World Champions Collection, featuring the seven girls from the seven countries England, France, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. Can’t hate. After all, sex sells.

It’s not just the jerseys that have started selling but the fashion labels are also reacting to the event. Take for instance limited edition releases from KIKS TYO. The below collaboration tee featuring lovely Yuki Hoashi holding the official world cup ball branded with the KIKS TYO logo. The shirt was limited to 100 pieces worldwide and you can now see “sold out” tab on KIKS’ website (no surprise there).

The other recent KIKS release is the World Cup Boks-Kun tee also featuring a world cup motif sans the girl.

I think that’s enough for our World Cup Edition. I’m sure we’re going to post more stuff as the games get started and I know we’ll be watching. I’ve been rooting for Japan and France since 1998 and still do so. You see, instead of picking just one team, I have too. More chances that my favorite’s going to win.

So which team/country are you rooting for? Who’s going to bring home the trophy?

Cheers y’all. I’m out! Peace.
