The Nigodfather...

I guess every Hypebeast knows about the Nowhere Popup store in Dover Street Market. The Nigonizzer came down to reward all his committed Apesoldiers with his official Ape General signature.

New BBC Icecream lookbook for season 8

Ah BBC/Icecream... what a crazy fucked up brand. You never know if Skatething finally went insane or just decided to take the piss at Streetwear in general. Still... the crazy colors, waffle prints and melting midsoles are 100 times more entertaining than the regular droppage of yet another black stadiumjacket by Streetbrand Whatever.

This season Carri Munden took over styling duties and whoever knows her tastes knows that she is the right girl to get her hands on the brand. The result is definitely more Super Super and less Hip Hop Connection and might shock the regular BBC/IC consumer but I guess will make the label more respectable with the skinny jeans/rave color crowd.

Will BBC become the next Cassette Playa? Let's just wait and see. It would make sense though to take the waffle and go all the way...

BAPE book hype heating up!

I like what I see so far... ahhh... this book will show the Haterz why BAPE was the hottest shit on the block! I say "was" as the recent exposure killed the secret underground appeal BAPE used to have for many headz, which is a shame. Personally I can't wait for the book to drop...

Still London BAPE soldiers can look forward to a London Edition of the book in the special red and blue UK Camo and maybe even an appearance by the Nigmeister himself. Let's keep those paws crossed!

BAPEtastic...

Ahhh... we came a long way together. I can still remember when MoWax released the first UNKLE record and every Hypebeast tried to hunt down the impossibly rare BAPE gear James Lavelle was wearing. Now UNKLE is a rock band with sweating indie boys and girls in the moshpit and Nigo grew his BAPE empire together with Darth Pharrell to unknown heights of fashion Bling Bling.

While it certainly lost it's underground appeal, I still get excited about this new book. 15 years in the geek game needs to be celebrated! Can't wait to put on some old MoWax records and flip the pages of what looks like the ultimate BAPE bible...

So let's just hope Number Two will make the trek over to London as well so we can all get out our camo hoodies amd queue up one last time...

Teriyaki Boys "Tokyo Drift"

Teriyaki Boys and the Too Fast Too Furious franchise are both guilty pleasures of mine. Both collide in my latest animation... enjoy :)

BBC Icecream Summer/Spring 08 sneak preview

Lucky me was able to infiltrate Style H.Q. to indulge into some Billionaire Boys Club / Icecream pre-order madness!





I must admit that Season 6 fucking rocks! Lots of nice colorways and subtle details while still featuring dominant bling patterns ( diamonds and dollars *holla* ) and in your face prints. There is also a strong Las Vegas theme with neon lights / poker card prints and embroidery. Nice!









Available at The Hideout
