Adidas redefined their pristine football line with the new philosophy that there are only two types of footballers, which are players who cause chaos and another who have the ability to control. Hence, X15 and Ace15 are debuted.
X15 is constructed for the “chaos” players who have movement that are difficult to read by their opponent. In the meantime, Ace15 is built for the “control” players, they are players who think more about what the team needs and what is the best solution for the team.

LEATOLOGIE: Custom Leather Goods
Maria Wong, founder of Leatologie was originally in the graphic designing field for the past 13 years before she started off this line of career together with her sister in Kuala Lumpur back in October 2014, customising handmade leather goods. Maria told me she was comfortable with her previous job, especially with the high pay she was receiving but the minute she quit her job and walked out of her comfort zone, she knew her real passion was towards Leatologie. Well aren’t we glad that she quit, because just look at these precious leather goods!
Why leather, you may ask? Because Maria and her sister simply love leather goods! From October 2014, Leatologie has grown into becoming a small group of dedicated skilled artisans handcrafting genuine leather without the help of any machinery. So you can truly bet your life on it that these products are made with love. Their main forte is to keep it simple as their products can be labelled as fixed everyday staples.
Leatologie sells ready-made products, from key chains to mouse pads to coin pouches and many more. Their price range is from as low as RM10 up to RM200.

SOFTSRVE : Ice Cream & Dessert Bar
This is perfect for our sweltering weather. An ice-cream and dessert bar; Softsrve officially launched on the 24th of February 2015 which was founded by 4 partners, Redmond Ho, Jack Liau, Amily Chong and Terrence Tae where three of them (Redmond, Jack, and Amily) have some sort of designing background where as Terrece was from the e-commerce field. The brainchild came across when they were all travelling around North Asia and found out that the soft serve craze was the in-thing, and was spreading around South Asia. They took roughly about 9 months time from preparation until the final outcome since they never had any experiences in F&B before but a high amount of interest made them to finally venture into this kind business. For influences, they are heavily inspired by the NYC’s famous Momofuku and Big Gay’s Ice Cream and some other South Korean ice-cream parlour as well.
Their goal is just plain simple; to provide an unordinary soft ice-cream experience to their lovely customers. They believe that dessert, especially ice-cream gives the greatest happiness to people. They created the simplicity of minimalist interior design and branding that can defined as their sole concept. As for now, Softsrve is serving three flavours of ice-cream and the fusion with different type of toppings. Their signature soft serve are Cereal Milk and Deep Choc, and other flavours are their monthly pop-up flavour (which will be only be on the menu for a temporary period of time!), Oolong Tea and Salted Butterscotch. The best seller for the Cereal Milk series are Breakfast (Caramelise cereal with fresh strawberry toppings), and Fluffy (Cotton candy with Himalaya Sea salt). In addition to that, all of their serving comes with a dry ice effect (so cool!) to preserve the soft serve not to melt easily.
