We saw his ex-team mate, Lebron James pay homage to South Beach with the play of bright pink colors on his line of signature sneakers during his tenure at the Miami Heat. And now with the departure of Lebron James from Miami, those sort of colorways are Dwyane Wade and Li-Ning’s for the taking. The “Flamingo” colorway sees the Way of Wade 2.5 Encore featuring a bright pink color throughout the majority of the premium split leather upper coupled with a contrasting colored dazzled-camo pattern on the outsole. The pair also comes pack with features like high density lightweight EVA heel wrap, carbon fiber midfoot shank, and a half cup-shaped TPU stabilizer on the heel counter.

The Li Ning Way of Wade 2.5 Encore “Flamingo” is already available at selected Li-Ning retailers like Hoops Station.

MASSESzine no. 3 : The SURVIVAL Issue

Posted by & filed under Features.

IMG_0230

You know the saying “third time’s a charm”? Well we hope our third issue will be the most charming one yet! I know I know, that saying is being taken out of context here, but you get the gist of what I’m trying to say. As charming as we would like it to be, this issue’s theme has nothing charming related to it because this issue is all about “SURVIVAL”.

We took a short camping trip up Gunung Nuang in Ulu Langat, the highest and toughest peak in Selangor, to put our fitness level and survival skills to the test. With the cost of living constantly on the increase, urban survivability is getting harder. So we took a trip to the bundles of Kuala Lumpur to learn how to swag out below a hundred ringgit. We also dedicated a part of our ‘Food’ section to street food vendors, because these vendors represent the word “survival” in so many ways. Everything is kept to a basic minimal, the size of their store makes them very flexible, and that also helps them become very adaptable to different situations.

For our main feature, we wanted to shine the spotlight on individuals who are constantly hustling, constantly pushing themselves, adapting and changing to the current times, and constantly finding ways to stay on top in their own unique way. Since the beginning of MASSES, we have always been big supporters of the Local Streetwear Scene, and we thought what better way to show our support then to pay homage to these individuals in the scene by telling their life stories and the lessons they have learned along the way.

Surviving your day job, surviving your exams, surviving to be accepted, surviving to stay relevant, surviving to stay hyped, surviving to pay rent, or just surviving to put food on the table. Every one of you who are reading this are also survivors in your own way, whether we know it or not. That is why, we hope this issue not only serves as an inspiration to you, but as a motivation to go beyond just surviving.

Nike combines their summer tailored technology with a trio of sportswear classic with its brand new “Breathe” collection for Holiday 2014. Nike designers got their inspiration from the South American climate, where the sneakers can be used for athletic training, beach-going and urban exploring, and here it is the “Breathe” collection which includes all of those. This collection consists of 3 different silhouettes which are the Air Max 1, Air Max Lunar 1, and Roshe Run NM. The Air Maxes swap out the usual leather, suede and synthetic essentials, yielding a radically lighter shoe that features spacer mesh and no-sew construction. Meanwhile, the Roshe Run NM features a tightly-perforated mesh on the upper, pairing with flashy colour on the sole unit that’s updated with Natural Motion tooling.

The collection is now available at selected Nike retailers nationwide such as Hundred%.

After a short hiatus, MONARCHII is back, and this time sticking very true to their tagline “Authentic garment tailored for the King”. The brand’s latest collection is seen decked out in typical MONARCHII fashion like simple lines, numbers, fonts, and polka dots but yet at the same time paying closer attention to the detailing, material, cut and flow of the garments, something which the brand has been doing since a few collections back. With that said, majority of the collection features “cut and sew” products where we can see the use of different materials on a single garment at play.

The collection features 10 items which consist of a snapback, a camp cap, t-shirts, extended tees, pocket tees, football jersey, and a hybrid long sleeve tee. The collection launches next week, so be sure to add MONARCHII up on their Facebook and follow them on Instagram (@monarchii) to stay up to date.
