Get ready for a blast to the past with the new Converse AEROJAM “Home” colorway. Made popular by Larry Johnson’s “Grandmama” marketing campaign back in the 90s. The AEROJAM is said to be one of the brand’s most iconic basketball sneaker which features bold silhouette and a distinct look that is very hard to miss.

Oversized tongues, removable and a reversible lace shrouds, complex color blocking make it a unique model that was very coveted back in the day.

Wood & Steel

Posted Feb 27, 2014 by Bryan & filed under Food.

Wood & Steel is a combination of both a cafe and a furniture store. The cafe is started by 2 young studs, Ierfan and Adam, who are brothers aged 22 & 20 respectively. From what we’ve been told, everything you see in the cafe is for sale, and besides that, everything you see in the cafe is not bought ready made, instead custom made. They even supply furniture to other cafes like Feeka, Artisan, Podgy and the Banker, and a few others.

The cafe gives out cozy vibes and the staff is very chilled out and friendly. One of our personal highlights for our visit there was when we tried the chocolate brownie, personally baked by the Ierfan and Adam’s mum. Highly recommended by us! Most of the furniture at the shop and cafe was designed by Ierfan, and Adam conceptualize most of the theme of the cafe. Adam is also a consultant for cafes, where he gives advices and direction on starting cafes.

Together, this tag-team combination between the 2 brothers have created something very unique and refreshing, especially when there is so many cafes popping up all around the Klang Valley and also in Malaysia. Be sure to follow them on Instagram ( @woodandsteel ) for more updates.
