Weekender: Pink Puma & Pink Robot.

I'm sure many guys think pink is a dangerous colour for them to wear. They think it is associated with something un-manly. I don't know about that though, I think if you know what you're wearing, you'll nail it. Plus, don't get too discouraged by what other guys think.

Couple of weekends ago.

Nike Dunk Hi QK Vintage - UNLV (2008)

I think I've mentioned a few times about Dunk Hi being nicer than Dunk Lo (except for a few designs which I can't resist from eyeing/buying). It was quite easy to decide actually, as you can see the vintage, 90's look when you wear a hi-cut sneakers, especially something like Dunk Hi.

So back in early 2008, Nike released a campaign called Nike: Be True To Your School to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Nike Dunk. These kicks have been roughed up with aged midsoles, roughed leathers as well as a few scrapes and scratches.

And to celebrate the 20th Anniversary, Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur respectively) was one of the very few cities selected to be part of the celebration. I was not surprised as I see Kuala Lumpur being one of the major fashion (lifestyle/street fashion, in this case) trendsetters in the region.

So when they launched the Be True To Your School campaign, I managed to grab a pair. There were seven pairs in total for the first series, and I was thinking of grabbing the whole seven pairs but I thought, nahh it'll definitely come by, sooner or later.

Thanks to Sole What?

What made this campaign even sweeter for the hypebeasts here, was the special appearance by Dave White, a famous pop artist from United Kingdom. He made a few appearances all over KL such as at Nike Sportswear @ The Curve, Sole What? at The Garden, and lastly at the Streething "All In The Family" Event.

At Sole What?, The Garden

What made it even more awesome is that he made a live painting show on the particular pair that I bought.

Even more more lucky when he left his signature on the shoes.

And the whole awesome thing was wrapped with a dedication to our Komodo Ninja Hype Clan:

This pair represent UNLV, which stands for University of Nevada, Las Vegas. But most sneakerheads have a nickname for this colourway, can you guess it?

No?

I'll tell you:

Now you know.

This Ultraman colourway is one of the hottest colourways for Dunks.

And after two years keeping it nicely on my display rack, I finally broke fresh on this pair.

I personally think Dunk Hi should be kept at only two colours, or three colours tops. More than that just kills it terribly. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

Basketball Night: Nike Dunk Hi Vandal Premium

Nothing special this week. Same shoes by the rest. I was hoping the boys will buy something new and wear their shoes on rotation. Barulah meriah sikit.

Anyways,

Butet: Air Jordan VIII "Orange Blaze"

Yours Truly: Dunk Hi Vandal Premium

There must be at least one reason why the shoe was named "Dunk". I guess it's for dunking. Smart.

Nike SB Dunk Hi "Skunk" (2010)

I guess you have all seen the preview about the Nike SB Dunk Hi "Skunk" last week, haven't you? Well today is very much a nice moment for me, let me tell you.

Why?

This is why,

I buy what is relevant to me, or something that has a meaning to it. Well, apart from it sometimes I also buy stuff that is also beautiful, but has no meaning, like, blondes.

Today marks the day that the air is filled with joy, and we are all again, liberated.

I know I don't make sense now, and you know why...

This is why...............

4:20 all over the world Jah!

Nike Dunk Hi Premium "Glow in the Dark" (2006)

I wish I had a part on my body that glows in the dark. A particular part, where people can see it glowing in the dark. Must be awesome.

But now I better stay on my topic.

Remember the previous post I wrote about Adidas Consortium 'Unforeseen' collection? Particularly the glow-in-the-dark Campus 80. Yeah, that's what I wanna write about: glow in the dark sneaker.

Actually this (glow in the dark effect) is not something new, if you ask me. In fact, because of that, I would like to share a pair of my shoes from my personal collection here.

This is a super-sweet pair that I own for couple of years already, and I have worn it only for a couple of times, the most. It is my Nike Dunk Hi Premium "Glow in the Dark".

Look at these babies when they are on krypton,

Marvel...

It is a really clean, plain butter, extremely in pale green-yellowish color (just like the cannabutter) ha ha ha!

4:20 is just around the corner!

Again as you can see, the size is 9.5US (I'm a 10US) but it didn't matter, as this is hard to get. The Dunk Hi "Glow in the Dark" has two versions, and mine was the first.

The second version however is not quite my taste,

Few different shades of green with some kind of lizard-ish texture

Anyway, the 'glow in the dark' is ALWAYS nice to be worn at night (d'uhh), especially at the Halloween party.

By the way, when I said, "I wish I had a part on my body that glows in the dark. A particular part, where people can see it glowing in the dark. Must be awesome," I meant this,

Preview: Nike SB Dunk Hi "Skunk"

What is green and purple with hints of orange? If you answered the girl of my dream, you might be right, but on this particular matter, you are wrong.

The right answer is the Nike SB Dunk Hi "Skunk".

My GREEN dream

This pair uses suede material, and to add more character to the shoe (so that it live up to its name) it went through some kind of 'distressing' process to achieve the 'grass' effect. There are few shades of green, as there are many type of 'grass', as we already know. The swoosh is in purple color, just like how Jimi Hendrix loved it. And finally the stitching is in orange, go figure. What a talent! Other unique feature is the hidden stash pocket under the tongue, which I have no idea what that is for *innocent*

The dizzy red-slant-eyed little skunk

This pair was again designed by Todd Bratrud, who previously did great jobs especially with the Nike SB Dunk Hi "Send Help" and the Nike Dunk Hi "Todd Bratrud", both were Quickstrike releases.

Nike Dunk Hi "Todd Bratrud"

Nowadays "Go Green!" slogans are being used everywhere, and Nike shouts the same thing too, only this time the particular pair shouts a different interpretation of the phrase. When on earth can you find a "green and purple with hints of orange" skunk? Exactly.

This will be a perfect instrument for me for the period of April, an indication of period when 4:20 rolls around and the air is filled with the property of licking.

Expected to drop on our shore by now. It will be available at SHOWROOM.

Be ready to get yourselves GREENED........
