TIA – New Balance 574 – Custom

 photo Large_zps90b6f037.jpg
I’ve never really been a massive fan of the 574, but having received these US produced customs, I have changed my mind in a big way, the quality of the materials and the excellent shape make them stand out from their Asian produced counterparts.

Latest Pickup – Adidas Phantom – Size?

 photo BigJpeg-3_zpsd60d3d4e.jpg
If this particular shoe was a collaboration with, let’s say, Hanon for arguments sake, the hype would have been unstoppable. A classic model, with a timeless colourway and wrapped quality materials, would have surely set the hype train well and truly rolling. Luckily for me (and the others who have managed to bag a pair) they were massively slept on and passed well and truly under the collective radar.

Head over to the Size? Sale and grab yourself a pair before they all vanish…..you’ll be sorry if you don’t.

NIGO – A Visit To The Treasurey


Love him or hate him, you have to give props to Nigo for his impressive collections. I certainly know a few people who would kill for his Star Wars collection, never mind his classic cars.

Yet another amazing piece from the ever talented Iconic:a. If you’ve been following me for a while, you might remember some of his other stuff that I featured a while ago (Mario characters etc.). This remarkable example was painted for and featured in The OutpostsI Used To Skate Once‘ show, which showcases artists local to Brisbane and the surrounding areas, allowing them to showcase their finest work using skate decks as their canvas.
