As we’ve mentioned before in the detailed look of the shoe post, the shoe features glow-in-the-dark tiger camo and it comes alive in the dark or under UV lighting. Hence, taking that as the main theme , the venue was dark and was only lighted up with UV lighting. A lot of classic Reebok silhouettes like the Instapump Fury, Blacktop, Pump etc. were on display. To add to the good vibes of the event, there was a pretty huge line in front of the shop too, all waiting to get their hands on the shoe. The first in line had camped out in front of the store for one day. Although there was a huge line,almost everyone left with a smile on their face as majority of the crowd manage to get a pair except for a few unlucky ones. Check the images below to see what went down that day!

Posted by & filed under Lifestyle, Travel.

Skateboarding has made it’s way to Kuala Lumpur city since the early 90’s.Today many spots has been discovered in this concrete jungle, the probability for a new spot to be found is quite rare in the city. Certain spots were taken down by the authorities while some are kept guarded away from skateboarders. Hence, the idea of discovering skate spots out of the city was born. The people from ‘3rql.’ decided to give Pahang a try since it’s one of the states in Malaysia that’s surrounded with tropical forest as its attraction. Thus, ‘Escape the Haze Project’ was born. The project got its name due to the haze phenomenon that affects Malaysia during the period of time.

Besides, ‘3rql.’ hopes that this project can be a medium to open the eyes of Malaysian skateboarders to not just focus on skateboarding in one place or city. Malaysia has its identity as a country surrounded with tropical forest and it should not stop skateboarders to skate in this type of environment . They believe this is one of the traits that skateboarding has to offer which is – no limit for creativity in skateboarding no matter where you roll.

Set against a white long sleeve tee with cuffing on the sleeves, and cool grey colour printing for the graphics. ‘Dignity’ is best defined as ‘the state of being worthy of honour’, hence the tagline printed on the sleeve, as well as a couple of their signature logos on the other sleeve. As we’ve been told, the concept behind this tee is to remind the people that no matter how hard you fall, you got to stand up and fight for yourself. There is always a comeback, if you keep the DIGNITY in yourself.
