by

After Hes Kicks posted his compilation of sneaker youtuber’s picks for the best $100USD shoe, I was inspired to get in on the fun!

This is the Nike LeBron Icon John Elliott , our pick for best sneaker for $100. It’s a collaboration, it’s a LeBron, it’s streetwear, and it’s AirMax. So much bang for your buck!

We got it on HBX at https://hbx.com/men/brands/nike/lebron-x-john-elliott-icon-qs but you can get it on stockx.com for even cheaper. In the Philippines, it will come to 100USD including shipping from the USA.

Do we really need a National Philippine Streetwear Day? | OP-ED

by

Now on its third year, #NPSD2020 or National Philippine Streetwear Day 2020 is being celebrated across three dates: one for Davao, one for Cebu, and one for Manila. The concept of the movement is to promote your local, Filipino apparel brand. Simple enough, right?

But are we still in a market where we need to tell people to “support local?” It’s a question worth asking, especially since support this year seems to have somewhat dwindled. Compared to last year’s 1000 posts using the #NPSD2019 hashtag, the #NPSD2020 hashtag haas only managed to pull a tenth of that number on Instagram.

N.354 Drop Type Video Review

by

It was out first time at a Nike Employee Store in Singapore, so we’re glad to say that the experience was excellent! Kayo Cosio unboxes and gives an in-hand review of a fresh design: the Nike Drop Type from the N.354 collection or pack. It’s our second shoe from the N.354 pack and Kayo discusses how the Drop Type is inherits several aesthetic elements from Nike Street Wear collaborators like Virgil Abloh’s Off-White (The Ten Collection) and the Nike Sacai Blazer.

“Victory. Challenges. Moments.” A Farewell To Hypercourt BGC

by

Nike’s Hyper Court @ BGC has operated as the city’s hub for basketball and Nike training caps since 2017. At the end of 2019, it will end that over-two year run and return the property, which has been reclaimed for redevelopment by its landowners.

To celebrate the good work done at the location and to mark the closure of the Nike Hyper Court, the brand held two 3×3 tournaments. One for female, and one for female athletes. On that date, Adjima’s sister organization, #HoneycombArts was there to help commemorate the day with an installation dubbed “Victory. Challenges. Moments.”

React + Gore-Tex. Testing this Nike Shoe in the Wild

by

After missing out on the Travis Scott Air Force One, we ended up picking up this brand new Nike silhouette on the SNKRS section of nike.com/ph. First time to get a pair off the website, so we’re glad to say that the experience was excellent! Kayo Cosio unboxes and gives an in-hand review of the fresh design. There will be a longer “life-test” video (shouts to Foamer Simpson and Young Buckets Esquire) as Kayo takes this new shoe up into the Philippine mountains to hunt coffee trees in the rainforest. Be sure to subscribe to get that video when it drops.

What do you think of this new Nike React Type-GTX? Does it maybe have a little bit of a Yeezy 700 vibe?

Then, after 2 weeks, Kayo took the Nike React Typre GTX to 1700 Meters Above Sea Level! Will the gore-tex hold up in the sticky and slippery mud of the misty mountains of the Philippine rain forest in Nueva Vizcaya? We get to test the shoe in conditions it really wasn’t built for. How will it perform?

Do you have one of these sneakers? How hard have you pushed them?
