Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations One of my most treasured pair of NMDs, the NMD R1 Circa Knit Clear Blue is a beauty. The Circa Knit pattern on the upper is extremely breath-taking and should be applied to every NMDs. Primeknit, though comfortable nice, is way over-rated. Aesthetically, I think Circa Knit trumps over Primeknit. There are very few Circa Knit NMDs available in the market. If I remember correctly, there are only 3, the Clear Blue, Lush Red and the Footlocker Exclusive. They should really make more of these. Excellent breathability. You guys should probably take note that the...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations The Ultra Boost 1.0 will always be my favorite Ultra Boost version. The Upper Primeknit pattern is perfect, compared to the 2.0 and 3.0. It was eye-catching without overly trying, subtle yet powerful. The Ultra Boost 1.0 Silver LTD is one of the treasured pieces in my collection. I have never had any trouble matching my outfits with these pair of kicks. Neutral colored shoes are the best. The original colored shoe laces are fine as it is. They did a good job by not experimenting too much on the laces, unlike the 3.0, and...

Shoe Laces  / Laceswap Recommendations Yet another Triple Black colorway to hit our wallets. Scheduled to be released on the 1st March 2017, which is today, this Limited (LTD) release is sure to sell out within minutes of opening. In Singapore, stocks are available at only two locations and right now while I am at home sipping my coffee, I am 100% confident that there is a bunch, or many bunches, of 18 year old kids queuing for them. No disrespect to those who is going to cop them, but for those who plan to earn a quick buck through...

How To Lace Your Dress Shoes with a Laceswap So you've spent hundreds and maybe thousands on a pair of of high-quality dress shoes that you wear to the office, or for a planned formal event. And now you're thinking of how to make it look even better. And if you're a true sneakerhead, you are never satisfied with the status quo and always to look beyond normal and break barriers.  One way to go about this is to switch the laces with a pair that has bright, eye-popping colors that is bound to catch someone's attention. Think black shoes...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Not yet recovered from the hype surrounding the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Zebra release, and ADIDAS is already firing at us with brand new pictures of the next Yeezy Boost 350 V2 release. Dubbed the "Triple White" or the "Cream Yeezys",  these will come in both infant and adult sizes just like the BREDs. It comes with the same heel tab design that was first seen on the V2 BREDs. When will the Triple White Yeezy be released? No firm date has been set, but look out for it in April. We already have replacement...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations Crazy hype is surrounding these pair of V2 Zebras. If the news circulating around are true, there are less than 7000 pairs of these pair of shoes in the world. Last I heard from a friend in Amsterdam, that re-sell prices for these have hit a high of 1000 euros. That is some crazy shit. Of course, like an IPO offering in the stock market, prices always hit a high at the opening date and will then decrease and stabilise in the next few days. For those who wants to buy at re-sell, wait a...

Shoe Laces / Laceswap Recommendations So many Yeezys, yet not one have I been able to cop in retail price. I think the same goes for thousands of sneaker lovers out there but don't fret, the Zebra colorway is about to be released this weekend so you will get your chance :) The Yeezy BREDs is a pair that I would really love to get my hands on. While I am not a fan of the other V2s, black and red definitely caught my eye. The upper is nicely clean with an all black primeknit except for the SPLY-350 branding...

This is less of a review of Jason Markk versus Crep Protect but more of my personal view on my preference. I have had customers asking me if a water-based spray is better than an aerosol spray, vice-versa. Here's an article to summarise the pros and cons between the two types :) I have used both of the sprays extensively in the beginning as they were the two powerhouse brands of sneaker protection. Jason Markk was the pioneer and Crep Protect was the foreign incumbent from the UK. However, both have grown to be a leader in their own right....

Size? recently previewed an upcoming release of the new Stan Smith BOOST that is slated for release in February 2017. They got a detailed first look at the sneakers, which comes in 2 colorways, black and white, which also comes with the iconic green touch at the heel. While I have to say that BOOST is one of the most, if not the most, comfortable midsole cushioning system out there, there are just some pair of sneakers that should not be BOOSTed. And I feel that Stan Smith is one of them. Definitely, the comfort level will increase with the...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations Triple Black anything is one of the sure-fire ways to get your sneakers to sell out. If somehow, ADIDAS ever finds me for a collaboration (in my dreams), I will probably do an all black colorway with red accents. That shit is going to resell for 10,000 bucks. Since this is a re-release, I will not describe the shoe. You guys should already know that this is mesh, not Primeknit and the midsole is blacked out. Some people would not change the laces as they would like the look to remain as clean. However, I like...

Shoelaces / Laceswap Recommendations KOLOR has been a mainstay collaborator with ADIDAS since the inception of the Ultra Boost sneakers. Their bright,quirky and loud color combinations are a fan favorite and continually sells out  upon released. The latest collaboration between the two sees them releasing an Ultra Boost and an Uncaged version. The Ultra Boost sneaker sees a blacked out midsole with an orange bottom sole. A blue TPU cage is overlayed onto a 3.0 black Primeknit upper with a gold heel cage, reminiscent of the Olympic Gold Ultra Boost. For a shoe that is bombarded with so many different...
