| Nike Sportswear – Knit AW77 and Windrunner Posted: 05 Oct 2011 06:00 AM PDT
As we approach the cooler seasons ahead, Nike Sportswear have produced some surprise treats for their fans. The Windrunner and AW77 are classic designs from Nike and it has been transformed into an unique knitwear. Fortunately, both styles do not look out of place in the knit material incorporating the key elements such as zipped pockets, kangaroo pockets, front zipper and hood with drawstrings. Two colorways are made for each model in light and dark grey tones. All of these items have already dropped in Nike Harajuku and other NSW retailers should have these in stock as well.

| Casio G-Shock – October 2011 | New Releases Posted: 05 Oct 2011 03:30 AM PDT
We will see two relatively different portions of the Casio G-Shock‘s product spectrum this month. First, its “the blast from the past” with the G-001 Series. A near identical replica of the original DW-001 from 1994, engineers at Casio added a substantial amount of upgrades to this “re-introduction model” 17 years later, including a 29 time zones – 48 cities world time function and an auto calendar up to the year 2099. Some features never need upgrade however, like G-Shock’s reliable resilient against impact and its water resistance capability up to 200 meters. Similar characteristics are also available in the G-8900 Series, but in a more familiar rugged appearance. One notable addition is the so-called “reverse LCD” display in providing visibility. All scheduled to launch in the coming weeks at Casio G-Shock retail points world wide.

| CLOT x Disney – Man Is In The Forest – Taipei | Event Recap Posted: 05 Oct 2011 01:30 AM PDT
Somewhere in there, among the drove of reporters from every conceivable media and formats, is Edison Chen. Can you find him? Finally, the CLOT x Disney retail concept known as Man Is In The Forest opened its door in Taipei City in the midst of fans and supporters over the weekend. Situated in the trendy Xinyi District and near the once tallest building in the world, Taipei 101, the new store front featured a sparse layout designed by Makoto Azuma. Best known for his landscape creations, especially those done with fellow designer Kazuki Kuraishi, Azuma cultivated the store’s unique interior, quite literally. With special sponge-like planting blocks developed by Japan’s Suntory Midorie, Azuma nurtured more than 10 species of horticultural flora into a shape most identifiable with Disney – Mickey Mouse’s ears. Derived from a pivotal juncture in Disney's animated classic Bambi, Man Is In The Forest is a distinctive take by CLOT's Edison Chen, Kevin Poon, along with Disney's Ben Yue, on the intuitive relationship we all have with Disney animations. A fact especially discernible within the many other creative types involved in this project, including X-Large, MEDICOM TOY, SSUR, PAM, Bounty Hunter, Vanquish, 84/74 Lab, and more… Besides as a temporary storefront that will be offering limited edition items from the said group of designers. The grand opening, with Edison Chen as host, marked the mid-point of Traveling Mickey Charity Auction, where fans can bid on one-of-the-kind Mickey Mouse vinyl set. Half of the auction’s proceeds, along with certain merchandise sales from the store, will benefit local youth programs aimed creative development.

Without any fanfare or preliminary publicity, Volkswagen debuted its Buggy Up! concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Modeled after fiberglass Meyers Manx dune buggies first popularized in the 1960s, VW’s two-seater is made of lightweight steel with a reinforced underbody, powered by a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine. Clearly built for fun, the vehicle lacks doors or side windows but does come with a removable fabric roof and features waterproof everything, from its neoprene-covered seats to iPod-powered infotainment system. Unfortunately, no word on whether the car will ever see production. Click through for more looks.

The debuting of the Jordan Brand triumvirate’s upcoming signature kicks is completed with a first look at Chris Paul’s CP3.V. Built to capitalize on the point guard’s amazing quickness, the Flywire-laden shoe is 20% lighter than the previous edition and features dual-density cushioning at the forefoot to maximize Paul’s explosive first step and quick cuts. The triangular cut-outs throughout the shoe’s upper not only provide ventilation, they provide a personal touchstone for the player: added up, they number 61, the amount Paul scored during a high school game to honor his grandfather, who passed away at61. The CP3.V is scheduled to hit store shelves on January 11th.
