The Garment – Menswear Street Shoot

1098486_226764580805586_1387851134_n

The Garment is a brand that is all about looking like a gentlemen. Leather shoes, coats, ties, blazers, greased up hair, an occasional umbrella if need be. All of which are items that are essential for your everyday gentlemen, but if done wrong, can make you look like a real “Ah Pek”. Oh, a mustache would definitely be a plus point too.

The brand was established early of this year by the one and only Wak Doyok and his partner Mile Zahari, and have only released a signature tee of the brand, but this shoot was done not to promote any product of The Garment, but was done merely to promote menswear fashion, and to inspire Malaysian men to dress sharply. The photoshoot features a few prominent “gentlemen” which includes Wak Doyok himself. Let’s see if you can spot anyone else in the images below.

Air Jordan 8 Retro “Playoffs” Detailed Look

To a lot of Jordan fans worldwide, The AJ8 is a very significant model in the series because it is the final Air Jordan shoe which MJ wore before announcing his sudden retirement. It is also the shoe of choice for MJ during his epic 6-game battle at the 1993 NBA Finals between “Sir” Charles Barkley’s Phoenix Suns and the Chicago Bulls. Oh yeah, MJ and the Bulls won that one, which is the inspiration behind the release of the OG version.

The sneaker dons a black suede upper, which is offset by touches of red and white, all the while sporting a unique print along the upper. Hints of Red, White and Blue seen on the sole.  The color choice on the outsole is a perfect tie-in to the geometric inspired lining, which gives the sneakers some pop. The pair will be made available tomorrow at Hoops Station (Lot 10).

A pioneer in the Malaysian skateboarding scene as being the first local skateboarding brand to produce their own shoes that cater to skateboarders, the brand has just released their latest collection for the year 2013. All the shoes have improved features on them after some R&D and testing on their own team riders. The new collection all comes with a ‘Free Flex Outsole’ which has improved flexibility and weight. The sole is made out of ‘herringbone pattern high traction’ rubber.

A-Suede which is a high abrasion durable suede completes most of the uppers, while the heel has a stiffer heel lock that locks the skaters heel in place. R.I.C.H. insoles make up the inside of the shoe, which stands for “Rubber Impact Cushion for Heel”.

Floral seems to be the vice for most brands for this year’s Spring / Summer season, and Crap Inc. is no exception. Loud quotes coupled with feminine floral prints pretty much makes a good pair. It’s like eating a very good sweet and sour dish, or being in a love-hate relationship, or a pain-pleasure tattoo session, or a ….. well you get our point. The caps are now available at Perverse, or you can get in touch with the guys from Crap Inc. through their Facebook page.

A brand that is dedicated in bringing out your inner gentlemen, The Garment, has just re-released their signature tee. Although the t-shirt may seem very simple, but it has been sold out, and they have just restocked it. The brand’s vision is to create a clean, heritage and classy look while maintaining a contemporary touch to the designs.

The brand is founded by gentlemen themselves, Wak Doyok and Mile Zahari early of this year, and with only a few months of being around, the brand has manage to garner quite a good following. Chalking up almost 3,000 fans on Facebook and 4,000 odd followers on Instagram, the brand is definitely making waves in the menswear fashion scene. Be on the look out for this brand.

Merdeka Tie-Dye Style

602793_568403979886439_1273905001_n

With our Independence Day just round the corner, we think this release by 27 Legacy Tie Dye is hitting it spot on for us. The brand is a Tie-Dye specialist that only produce apparels in, well …. tie-dye. Based out of Kuala Lumpur, the brand has been creating tie-dye madness since 2007 and hasn’t stopped since. The brand has recently been getting quite a lot of attention seeing that the world of fashion, especially with streetwear, is heading down the tie-dye highway.

We currently see no other contender claiming the “Best Merdeka T-shirt” title besides this t-shirt, so if anyone is planning to go for the national day parade, or feeling just plain patriotic, should get a hold of this t-shirt. Tunku Abdul Rahman would be proud.

Jordan Son Of Mars Low “Cement Grey”

IMG_5276

No real clear connection to any retro Air Jordans for this release, the Jordan Son Of Mars Low “Cement Grey” is definitely one of best looking Frankenstein we have seen so far for this year. The Jordan brand has been hitting it right for the past few Son of Mars releases, and they totally nailed it with this one.

Tonal grey upper which is paired with a black based elephant prints gives this pair a little resemblance to the AJ3 “Stealth”, but just slightly. Red highlights also can be seen incorporated in the inner lining, outsole, eyelets and Jumpman logo. Finishing off the design is a touch of white which can be seen in the air unit, outsole and tongue logo.

The pair is already available for sale at selected retailers across the country. So be sure to check with your nearest Nike / Jordan retailer if you are planning to cop one.

Air Jordan 5 Retro “Fear”

IMG_5273

Here comes another much anticipated release by the Jordan Brand. The Air Jordan 5 “Fear” makes out one third of the “Fear Pack” which includes the AJ 3 and the AJ4. This pack propagates the emotions of pro basketball players when they have a championship title on the line.

Unlike the AJ3 and AJ4, the color scheme for this one is much more distinct with an olive upper which at certain angles and points where the light hits the shoe, might indicate a little 3M used. Black mesh and the trademark tongue topping off the shoe and fiery red accents on the gradient midsole that is paired with an icy translucent outsole.

This pair is said to have only 12 pairs dropping tomorrow at Hoops Station.

Undefeated X CLOT X Converse Chuck Taylor All Star

cover11111

A collaboration that takes place in a form of a Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette that focuses on simplicity and  material selection. Using the military and sports driven theme of the Undefeated brand, and the urban-feel of CLOT’s East meets West take on streetwear, the shoe comes together very neatly with this one.

Sateen nylon is one of the more favored material of the boys at Undefeated as it is inspired by the MA1 flight jacket, hence it is no surprise that it is used here as an ornamental piece at the zip on the innovative zip-up lace guard that sits atop the upper which is cover with smooth suede. Orange outsole accents the sneaker and an orange silk lining designed by CLOT to put an added touch of luxury into the sneaker as the finishing touch.

The sneaker will be available in black and olive colorways and will be dropping at JUICE KL this coming Saturday.
