OPENING ACT—Nike AirMax 720s in Crimson Tint and Volt

by

Today’s OPENING ACT is an anniversary of sorts, marking Kayo’s return to his roots. We feature the Nike AirMax 720s, which was the same sneaker he used for his first-ever unboxing. And it’s a sneaker that held up well after extensive wear: “I’d wear it a couple of days every week, and I have a lot of shoes, so that says a lot.”

OPENING ACT—Star Wars Toys! (+NYC to Paris Update)

by

Today we switch things up a bit with OPENING ACT and take a close look at some Star Wars toys. Spolier alert: spoilers everywhere!

Does Kayo have a Star Wars twin?? Not really, but pretty close! K-2SO—the repurposed droid from “Rogue One”—certainly shares a lot in common with Kayo: “I see a lot of myself in his personality. Even his look; he’s bald and has dark skin… That’s why this is the second K-2SO I’ve gotten as a gift.” This particular K-2SO toy is a Funko Pop! bobblehead exclusive from New York Comic Con.

Nike’s Fear of God One – OPENING ACT

Nike Air Fear of God One Orange Pulse

As a follow up to our recent Epic Phantom React unboxing, this week’s OPENING ACT features the vibrant Jerry Lorenzo and Nike Fear of God Ones in a limited orange pulse colorway. “The whole thing is just shouting orange, it’s a really bright color. It looks like an orange creamsicle,” jokes Adjima’s head-honcho Kayo Cosio. But their loudness is part of the appeal. “I have a habit of liking shoes that are not for everyone. My wife is actually saying that I own too many bright orange shoes now. But she loves Fear Of God and Jerry Lorenzo, so I think she’s OK with these ones. I was nervous buying these because I know some guys who bought them and have a hard time wearing them because they’re hard to pair with pants. I wanted the challenge though. So follow me on Instagram and if I look stupid just let me know.”

Secret Fresh Teams Up With the PBA for a Cause

by

If you want to turn people’s heads, combining art, sneaker culture, and basketball is a great place to start. Throw in some PBA stars and make it all benefit a good cause and it’s a wrap. At Secret Fresh today you can catch the resulting mix in all its glory, organized by local stalwart Quiccs (who’s also releasing a new merch drop and sneaker sculpture) and star baller Gabe Norwood. “I’m just a little overwhelmed, to be honest,” says Norwood of the night’s turn out. “We just wanted to build the bridge between art and basketball and give back in the process.”
