SINGAPORE STREET ART I

Posted by sam On November - 22 - 2011

Numerous pedestrian crossings in Singapore have been covered with a sticker that admonishes “PRESS ONCE CAN ALREADY”, a Singlish phrase reminding people that repeated pushing of the button in the hope that the Green Man will come on faster is futile. Word has it that the sticker has been spotted all over the island with different texts, such as “PRESS TO STOP TIME” (pictured) as well as “NO NEED TO PRESS SO MANY TIMES”, according to comments. No word as yet as to who is responsible for this, only a mysterious logo comprising of two triangles and a circle above the text.

Nike Sportswear Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 Collection Launched

Posted by admin On November - 18 - 2011


Nike首次推出包括Cristiano Ronaldo簽名球鞋在內的一整套CR7系列,系列同時包括最具創新性的訓練和休閒風格產品,反映Cristiano Ronaldo在球場內外的獨特風格和個性。

CR7系列包括引人注目的新款CR Mercurial Vapor Superfly III簽名鞋。這款球鞋的左右兩側的採用不對稱的圖案設計,從而反映出Cristiano的場上表現和場下的獨特風格。當CR移動到某一位置或退回防守時,球鞋左側的花紋上就會產生微妙的變化,顯現出細條紋和特別的圖案設計。而球鞋右側則是大膽的馬赫藍和大紅條紋,頗具現代感,這也是整個CR簽名系列的主題色。另外,球鞋上的圖案在球場上會不停變幻,非常醒目,以烘托出比賽日的熱烈氣氛。

CR Mercurial Vapor Superfly III採用的抓地系統設計可帶來額外的抓地力,同時加大摩擦力,反應更迅速,確保這位世界上最快的足球運動員在最緊急關頭能夠把握進球機會。呈不同方向分佈的刀狀鞋釘將抓地力最大化,可快速變向,同時在邁出關鍵性的前幾步時,第二腳趾部位的抓地力可增加蹬地力,使球員的速度更具爆發性。總的來說,這些設計細節可加快球員速度,向各個方向的轉向變速也更迅捷。球鞋的流線型鞋面融入了Nike第二代Flywire技術,使球鞋更具輕質、更結實、在運動狀態下更舒適。

該系列的訓練服和休閒服也帶有CR的經典號碼7。其中一款T恤設計獨特,胸前由紅白藍三色條紋組成圖案“7”。材質選用有機棉。特殊的圖案和水洗處理,使V字領帶有一絲CR的獨特氣質。訓練上衣帶有醒目的“7”圖案,上衣和短褲都包含 Dri-FIT技術,專門為訓練設計,確保球員穿著舒適。再加上CR7比賽用球和護脛,該系列裝備就更加完善了,對這一色彩繽紛的主題做了一個很好的詮釋。

CR7系列球鞋將於12月1日起於NIKE FOOTBALL發售。

SYNDICATE, the latest child of his countless creativity outfits bought a whole new dimension to the Singapore scene with its night of refreshing tunes,a treat of orgasmic visual and support for Singapore beats makers. Hell, it’s one of the night that could get me off my ass and head down to a club..

iPad Games: AC/DC Pinball Rocks

Posted by Ray Shion On November - 14 - 2011

ACDCPinballRocks
I don’t really write much about games but this certainly has to be mentioned base on the fact that it’s fucking AC/DC, not to mention it not only features some of AC/DC classic like Highway to Hell but also the original voice of Brian Johnson. I don’t know since when but  real Pinball machines are disappearing from pubs and bars over here and it’s rare to even find one at arcade games place. It’s a shame really cos nothing beats a night of beer drinking, rock music and pinball madness.

You can grab this over at the iTunes Store.

FLABSLAB is a new art and design collective based in Singapore with a focus on toys and pop art.
In November, FLABSLAB will be hosting internationally acclaimed graphic artist, Arkiv Vilmansa’s first ever exhibition in Singapore. Toy enthusiasts will recognise him from the iconic ‘Arkiv Instant’ vinyl toy figurine, his redesign of Mickey Mouse for Disney Asia, and his famous ‘SUMO’ toy.

Over the weekend, there will be two student dialogue sessions with Arkiv and live collaborations with top local artists, EeShaun and Wanton Doodle. It would be an interesting and intimate experience for audiences to see these talented artists at work.
Be at the opening reception on 10 Nov where there will be a worldwide release of ten limited edition bronze ‘SUMO head sculptures. Light refreshments and drinks will be served. The exhibition will be held at White Canvas Gallery, 78 Guan Chuan Street, Singapore 160078. Do check it out if you’re in the area!

Denim : A Riverting History by OKI-NI

Posted by Ray Shion On November - 3 - 2011

Denim A Riveting History 01

Our favorite online retailer OKI-NI run a nice feature on the history of Denim detailing its birth and how it had culturally developed through the century. Check out the companion article on Raw Denim too while you are at it. An interesting point to note personally, back in the 80s, we were busy “Destroying” and “Savaging” our new Denim either with pen knife, on the street skating or moshing in the pit, and annoying the hell out of our Mothers for refusing to wash it after weeks of wearing. Every pair of Denim damaged by bike accident was worn like a proud trophy.  Go figure.

以口號 “Style of Life California” 美國加州生活為精髓的時裝店Ron Herman,早在34年前(1976年)便在美國加州開設第一間店子,以售賣滑浪、滑板服飾和時裝品牌為主,隨後更成立同名時裝品牌,得到眾多的運動員和荷里活巨星著用支持,令店子聲名大燥更遠赴日本開設分店,成為不少品牌夢想進駐的國際知名時裝店。

近年於日本貴為人氣品牌的mastermind JAPAN,以暗黑華麗搖滾風格為主,運用優質的物料加上極為細膩的設計,成功俘虜了整個亞洲,及後踏上時裝秀天橋後更成功進駐時裝重地巴黎和紐約等,近年進駐Ron Herman時裝店後更與Ron Herman和CASIO合作推出產品。

DIGITAL IMAGIN PROJECT 企劃
從早前CASIO x Ron Herman x mastermind JAPAN合作的錶款FROGMAN取得極大成功後,Ron Herman和CASIO便展開了另一回的合作企劃並名為DIGITAL IMAGING PROJECT,顧名思義就是以數碼相機作為合作產品,Mr.Ron Herman說:「時裝是一種自由創作,當中充滿著很多有趣的想法去影響著以後,同時也充滿著熱情和熱愛,拍照其實也是一樣,我們希望可以把這種精神藉此宣揚」 ,隨後Ron Herman和Casio再次邀請了mastermind JAPAN加入這個企劃。
