    starter used to make quite a bit of authentic jerseys and licensed apparel. shoes even, if i remember correctly... didn't glen rice wear them? or was that champion? nike's market cap == US$16 bil >> reebok's market cap == US$1+ bil (if memory serves) -eric

    SHOW ME THE RAREST, MOST ILL JOINTS YOU OWN

    maybe we should have a 'rare, ill furniture' post in general... too bad all my furniture is in storage in california and new york... custom eames storage unit reproductions done by modernica l.a., an aalto 400 (yes i know, trite), an oyster chair and ottoman, and these two orange jen risom...

    SHOW ME THE RAREST, MOST ILL JOINTS YOU OWN

    definitely not as rare as the things i'm seeing before my eyes... i have a suspicion that these may be offspring exclusives... but only because they were on a wall of shoes at the shop i bought them in and there was a little sign nearby with lots of kanji but only two english words...

    SHOW ME THE RAREST, MOST ILL JOINTS YOU OWN

    rev -- are those copper weapons from back in the day or are they a very recent (but japanese) release? not that it should detract from the intrinsic value, a couple of shops in tokyo were marking them down recently... given your shoe collection and the glimpses from the edges of your pictures...

    SHOW ME THE RAREST, MOST ILL JOINTS YOU OWN

    i only recently started "collecting" (your definition may vary)... so i basically have whatever recent shoes of note that everyone else has. air force 1 - "i believe" - US9.5 but while none of the below are particularly rare, i do enjoy having them in my "rotation" to wear: saucony jazz t -...

    Tokyo Sneaker Guide

    merdude -- don't get me wrong... for sneaker heads there's little that can beat tokyo... and the city itself is simply fascinating. i guess the bottom line is if you're strictly into air force 1s and dunks, expect to pay top dollar (and then some) for relatively easy to obtain "exclusives" such...

    Tokyo Sneaker Guide

    i just did a one day transit stop in tokyo the other day and, in a word, the sneaker scene seems, well, lackluster. please keep in mind that my conclusion is based on very brief walk throughs of shibuya and shinjuku, but my general impression is that air force 1s and dunks are slowly but surely...

    Singapore Sneaker Guide

    i too was under the impression that the honolulu air kukinis were supposed to be limited but given the number of places in sg i saw them for sale in, i assume that those got an official release from nike singapore (or is it nike s.e. asia?). during my last transit through tokyo it seemed...

    Singapore Sneaker Guide

    if air wovens and air rifts are you thing, check out ambush in far east plaza (where there's also a country sports, i believe) and perhaps blackjack at herren. there's a tiny shop called afterlife part 1 across the hallway from ambush that sells some nikes but these are mostly one-off imports...
