The 'Loon | ザ・龍
毎回九龍に行くとホンコンフレーバーを味わえます。人ごみ、ダーティーさ、礼儀の悪さ、、、最悪な言い方ですがこれこそ香港ってオレは感じます。写真を見てもらえればちょっとくらい理解できるかも。九龍は香港の一押しスポットです!
Before the Hong Kong island build up, Kowloon used to be the major district of Hong Kong. It is where the old international airport is situated and you could experience the thrill of landing in between skyscrapers. This is an old district which is distinctly Hong Kong. I love these areas...
Everytime I step foot into Kowloon, I can literally taste the flavours of Hong Kong. The over crowded streets, dirt, no manners... Maybe this is a bad way to describe it but I feel like this IS Hong Kong. If you check the pics, perhaps you can get what I mean. Kowloon is a must hit spot in Hong Kong!
DisObeying | Obey隠し



LanceのObey隠しプロジェクト進行中、、、そろそろ完成っぽいけどけっこうドープになりそう。ブラック/ホワイトカラーコンビがシンプルかつ大人っぽい?かも、、、デッドストックのTurbo GELがヤバイ!超ソフトで乗り心地よさそ~!Lance's is simply disObeying his bike... It's nearly done and should look pretty dope once it's all completed. The simple B/W colourway will probably make it look mature? Maybe... The deadstock Turbo GEL saddle is off the hook! Super soft ride!

Ike Off the hook! | いけいけIke!
Warp is one of my fav Japanese magazines. They got clean layout and have a great balance between Japanese and world wide contents... While looking through the pages... Ike's huge smile graced the page!!! hahaha Looks like mad fun!
Souvenire | お土産
Lance the globe trotter got me these as a souvenire from Chi Town. It's a flickering light that goes on the bike's tire valves... Red matches the colour codes of the bike nicely! Needs a bit of modification but it should be easy fit... Thanks!
Know1edge
ナイキ(NSW)ショップオープンの時にBrian (Know1edge/8five2/24Herbs)がKnow1edgeの最新カタログくれて香港俳優Daniel Wuとのコラボ作品が12月ドロップするそう。写真じゃ詳しく見れないかもしれないけどドープなラインアップなので要チェック!Big ups Brian, keep the heat comin!




During the Nike Sportswear opening, Brian (Know1edge/8five2/24Herbs) passed me the latest Know1edge catalogue which features a collab with Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu. This collection is set to drop in December so be on the look out. It is a little hard to see from the pics but these are some dope line ups! Big ups Brian, keep the heat comin!
Frankie | フランキー
でどうせ中国語読めないからペラペラって写真だけ楽しんでたら、、、フランキー発見!ちゃっかりモデルしてる。香港ストリート業界の働き者なフランキーはSubcrewっていうブランドのディレクター、、、この写真はなにかとドープ、、、
Was going to a meeting with the suppliers and arrived early so I picked up the latest copy of East Touch (Hong Kong's urban lifestyle magazine) and it was some special for their 700th issue. The main feature was Kaws x Clot and also had heavy feature on Original Fake. The best part was it came with some Kaws stickers and it made me mad happy cos I am a sticker freak!!!
Anyways because I can't read Chinese, flippin through the pages and checkin out pics is the best I can do... There he was, Frankie was on one of the spreads! Modellin for OF.... For those who don't know, Frankie is one of the hardest workin dudes in Hong Kong's streetwear industry and is a director of a brand called Subcrew... This pic is pretty dope.

NSW HK Grand Opening | NSW香港グランドオープニング
Nike Sportswear (NSW) 香港のグランドオープニングパーティーに遊びに行ってきました。コーズウェイベイのパクサロード(白沙道)にショップがオープン、、、ちょうど近所で良かった、、、やっぱりニューヨークや東京ほどには騒いでないけど香港セレブ(全然知らないからだれがいたかは分からないけど、、、)と日本からフォトグラファー新田圭一と宇野薫選手もいました。なんだかとにかく人がいっぱいで友達とチルできた事のほうがパーティーより楽しめた、、、ほとんど写真撮るの忘れちゃったけど雰囲気は伝わると思う。みんなフリードリンクでかなりあがってたね、、、しかもたったいま知ったんだけど、、、新田圭一の作品がショップ内に展示されてたんだ~、、、ショップ内を見忘れちゃった(涙)。悔しい!
それで印象的だったのはショップとかセレブじゃなくてディスプレー商品がホッチキスされてた事!!!これありえないでしょう、、、アクリルのケースかなんかに入れようよナイキなんだからさ~、、、ここまでカネつかってホッチキスとはちょっとやられたな。違う意味でヤバイ!
Popped over to the Nike Sportswear (NSW) Hong Kong's grand shop opening... Luckily it was close to where I live and the shop is located on Pak Sha Road in Causeway Bay. It wasn't as hectic as NYC or Tokyo but it was filled with Hong Kong celebs (who I have no idea who they are...) and there were Japanese photographer Keiichi Nitta and mix martical fighter Caol Uno. There were just people everywhere but catching up with friends was the funnest part of the night... Anyways I kind of forgotten to take many pics but hopefully you kind of get the feeling of the atmosphere of the night... Everyone was pretty much on another level with all the free drinks!
I just literally found out that works of Keiichi Nitta was actually displayed inside the shop!!! Totally missed out on going inside the shop cos I was busy catchin up... Damn!
The most memorable of the event however is the display was actually held together by staplers!!! I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it... hahaha These should have been covered with acrylic case or something... I mean this is Nike right? Oh well... They are on another level here... That's for sure.







ホッチキスされたかわいそうな商品、、、誰にも着られない悲しい運命!Oh no!
Poor product which got stapled... Sad sad reality for the windrunner which will never get worn by anyone! Oh no!

Tricky Tuesday in Shatin!




香港のサーティン(沙田)でトリックセッション、、、サーティンメンバーと秘密のニュースポットをチェック!けっこう面白かった、、、 Dope session!Went to Hong Kong's Shatin for a trick session... Shatin riders were in full effect and we checked out a new secret spot! Mad fun all around... Dope session!
More pics on Flickrでもっと画像見れます
CHEK
昨夜かなしいニュースを聞きました。しかもちょっと遅れて、、、台北ピストクルーNabiisのメンバー数人と台北ヤクザがぶつかり合ったとの事。最悪にもChek(ドープグラフィティライター&ピストライダー)がかなりの重症で命を失う直前だったみたい。頭部が割れてやっと目覚めたそう。一日早くもスピーディーなフルリカバリーがかなうことを祈ってます。このショッキングニュースを聞いた後にふと思ったのはやはり人生は長いようで短いし1秒もが大事だということ。人生はフルに生きる以外無意味!夢を追えば必ず実現する日が来るでしょう、、、Was notified last night about the sad incident involving some of the Nabiis crew and Taipei gangsters... Worst thing is Chek (dope graff writer & fixed rider) is in critical condition but have awoke from coma... Mad mad head injury and we prey that he makes a full recovery quick. This shocking news game me a quick reminder that life is actually short and every second does count. Make use of it and live life to the fullest! Follow your dreams, one day it will come true...

Auckland representer Frank(Qubic/Quaters/Sole Jam) arrived in Hong Kong on the way back from Tokyo... This time he was fixed gear less so we popped over to a place with air con and an ash tray... Luckily Afterschool was open and had a good catch up with Pokit as well! Got some update on Tokyo from Frank and we just chilled... Good to see you again dude!
This cafe is the best cafe in Hong Kong and if you are in Causeway Bay, do pop over there... You won't regret it... The bizzarest suprise was when Pokit introduced us to James(Love Da Music) who happen to be the boss of Darren from Singapore's fixed gear crew Fixpatrix. He is mad about bikes and he currently have a secret fixed gear project going on... That should be pretty fun once it is finished... Nice to meet you James!
(Thanks for the pic Roger!)

The Retro Kidz
このビデオ見てオレも懐かしいな~とかつい思っちゃったんだけど
90’sはもうレトロなの???ヤバイじゃん、、、
ヒップホップがこんなケアフリーな時代があったんだよね。
それをリクリエイトしているThe Retro Kidz 、、、
あらたなムーブメントの始まりか?
しかもHouse Party シリーズを見たこと無いなら
ゼッタイ見ないとそん!
しかも今あらためて演出者リストを見て分かったんだけど
BilalがMartin Lawrenceだったんだ、、、彼もがんばったね~
今じゃハリウッドスターじゃん、、、
Bad Boysが効いたのかな?
Saw this vid and I had some flash backs...
And 90's is retro already??? Daaaamn... Really?
There was a time when Hip Hop was so carefree.
The Retro Kidz are recreating those times
Perhaps the birth of new movement...
On the side note if you have not seen the House Party series of movies
You really gotta hit it up!!! It's super funny...
Also I just realised that Bilal is Martin Lawrence... He has come a long way since then...
Perhaps it's the success of Bad Boys?
