The audience will initially be thrown back in time and experience an ancient traditional dance form from Tamil Nadu, Bharatanatyam – a style frequently emphasizing on skilled hand and facial gestures – all of which based around a girl’s possessive love for Lord Muruga and her reaction when she finds out about his alliance with another woman. Secondly the audience is teleported with the aid of Main Zapin, a popular dance in Johor, Pahang and Selangor. This dance was historically performed exclusively for religious ceremonies but has become a traditional form of entertainment.

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

London sneaker heavyweights, FOOTPATROL have worked together with Asics to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Gel-Lyte III silhouette with this “Squad” pair. The pair took inspiration from the Foot Patrol’s gas mask logo. The logo was inspired by Britain’s population struggling with WWII, which is portrayed through the gas mask itself and the nickname “Squad” is coined from the effort of people coming together during tough times to overcome it.

The classic runner is decked out in a military style theme with the entire upper draped in olive colour while there are muddy and earthy hues on various panels. Footpatrol branding is visible on the side heel panel, while at the back heel panel sees the shop’s initials. The inside of the split tongue sees the famous Gas Mask logo with “11 member, 1 squad leader. #teamFP”.

This pair is set to drop exclusively at Sole What (Midvalley branch) this coming weekend (26/9/15) at 10am. The pair is very limited in quantity and will be retailing at RM769 per pair.

Posted by & filed under Sneakers.

To celebrate Vans Syndicate’s 10th anniversary, several original Syndicate collaborators were tabbed to reworking various brand silhouettes. Vans Syndicate realigns the project with Luke Meier, or best known as co-founder of OAMC. However, he actually got his plug spark at Supreme, working there from 1999 until 2007 as its head designer.

With his fashion design background, we can see that his high-end fashion savior heavily influences this collection. Luke Meier Seylynn “S” is presented in a buttery all-white premium nubuck, piece on the side is actually made for Ollie protection.

The Marksmen Series: @taufiqnadzri

Welcoming the fourth photographer to The Marksmen Series, we would like to introduce to you, Muhammad Taufiq Bin Ahmad Nadzri, also known to most as Panjang – who can be found via his Instagram handle, @taufiqnadzri. Born and raised in our very own busy streets of Kuala Lumpur, Panjang has risen the ranks, and is a full-time photographer for Festival of Malaysia Independent Clothing, Tempatan Fest, and most other local events.

Panjang mentioned to us that when he initially started photography, he was truly clueless – he started without any basic knowledge about camera settings, as that he did not take any photography classes during his schooling time. He mentioned that he borrowed a Canon 450d from his friends and learnt DSLR settings through magazines and via the internet. One year later, he made his first purchase and bought a Nikon D90, and has now upgraded his arsenal to include a Nikon D610.

 

After he graduated from his Diploma in Shipping Management at the Netherlands Maritime Institute, he decided to follow his dream that he had ever since high-school and explore the unexplored. And this is how his passion grew – he found people with similar interests and learnt from them; lighting, angles, camera settings.

“Over the past year, I have been jumped around a lot between events, lifestyle, music, and street photography – the best thing for me was to go to the streets. I can meet musicians, different types of people, photograph buildings and stunning architecture – just anything I would love to shoot.”

Panjang continued to state to us that his most favourite photographs to take is of architecture and of people passing by. “It is such a great satisfaction to shoot and capture original expressions of people that can’t be found another time”.

So far, Panjang has been involved in many local projects such as the Tempatan Fest Nation Tour, Bunkface Photoshoot, local and even Indonesia clothing brand photoshoots. Not to mention music event photography, and even had the chance to photoshoot the new album cover for OAG, coming out soon.
