DC Shoes Store Opening Script for Cebu Branch We hold this artform close to our hearts. Here in the Queen City of the South, we collaborate and create. It all started when Ayala Center Cebu wholeheartedly opened their doors to us in 2009. Through these doors, we have attained a foothold, this became a desire to make our mark. Every spot served as witnesses to our greatness. The energy, the zeal for more has become bigger than us all. It has become a community- deeply rooted in...
Life is an endless series of challenges and barriers; all meant to derail us and keep us away from our goals and dreams... until we fight our way through. Lynyrd Paras’ lates opus “OBSTA OBTA” aims to portray that the battle of life is very much similar to the fine art of skateboarding. A combination of "OBSTA," a shortened term for "Obstacle," and "OBTA" as a play for "Taob," meaning to tip over, the coined name is pure street slang at its finest. It delivers the message that we should...

Sneakers come and go. With one crazy release losing steam, there will be another one picking up the heat. In today's fast and fickle hype landscape, many of us have learned to just move on from releases we can't get.

The history of the Jordan 1 wouldn't be as complete without the mention of the Chicago Air Jordan 1 from 1985. Big fist bumps and high fives once again to our homies at ARCHIVED for lending us this piece of sneaker history. The 1s sprung from the genius mind of Peter Moore, His Airness rocked Air Jordan 1s in 1984 and 1985. There was also a hybrid version in 1986 to aid an MJ foot injury. Talk about dealing with challenges in style!
The Air Jordan 1 is nothing short of legendary. Of course, the Black / Red colorway will remain as one of the most iconic and revered from fanatics all over. That being said, it will be a disservice on our part if we leave this colorway behind. Though lesser seen, its position in the Air Jordan 1 Hall of Fame can never be denied. One of the original colorways of the Air Jordan 1 line from '85, the Air Jordan 1 'Black Toe' has been a top of mind pick among the most hardcore of fans and...

Creating Art Toys is no walk in the park. It may look easy but behind the cute and exaggerated characters are the struggles that every creator has to put up with. It's the blood, the sweat, and the tears that an artist has to deal with even before he gets around to some form of recognition.
Art in general is a playground of the mind. It triggers some facets of one's rich imagination and brings it back into a creative form that only sheer talent can provide. One solid example is our featured artist today.
The Air Jordan 1 KO in the Chicago colorway has dropped a few weeks ago-much to the anticipation of the whole community. Everyone was hoarding it like crazy during the first week of the drop and surprisingly it fell short of reseller expectations.

In today's sneaker landscape, it's oftentimes the loud releases that garner the most attention and hype. This year offers a bit more than that with the A Ma Maniére 3 "Raised by Women" which highlights a subdued vintage look that has gotten its nice share of fandom.
In today's fast paced times, almost everything is ownable via the virtual realm. There will always be new concepts which may be off putting and alienating to some. But then, changes do take time to get used to. On top of these new things and advancements, it's pretty much a no brainer for Nike to step up and join these developments.
Supreme has always been synonymous with luxury. After all, this brand is no stranger in collaborations with high end brands. Louis Vuitton may just be their most notorious and this recent one probably adds to that equation. The Hype Appeal This Supreme collaboration with Tiffany & Co.
Skate shoes are definitely one of the most wearable types of footwear that your hard-earned money can buy. They are durable, made for daily wear, and are practically sound for anyone wanting A LOT of mileage from their footwear.
Limp Bizkit is probably one of those bands that make it or break it for you. It's either you're a fan or you're a hater. One thing's for sure, they still hold it down as one of the most iconic groups ever to enter the mainstream rock world.
The news is out: Toy giant just revealed a hot set of 'Masters of the Universe: Revelation' Action Figures up for pre-order! In the 80s and 90s, it was common to see cartoon franchises bring in action figures.
KPop fandom is showing no signs of slowing down. Their music, their imagery have pretty much set the barometer on what's on the hyped list right now. Craving for their albums and merch is pretty much second nature to their fans- but what if we tell you that you can get your mitts on custom K-Pop Funko Pops?
In today's days of much-celebrated hype and influencer power, sneakers have been today's go-to status symbols. It doesn't really require much rocket science to realize that sneakers are judged on reselling price and IG-worthiness. It's quite refreshing to unbox something that's pretty much under the radar and for the most part ignored by the rest of the mainstream shoe world.
Whether it’s shoes, cards, comics or even wearables, the stuff people would label as “an insane waste of money” is not only culturally rich, it fetches serious value as well. At the end of the day, the craziest collectors win. Embrace your crazy and hang out with us! #embraceyourcrazy
When a pro athlete's name is placed on a certain product, it's a given that the company got his blessings even before manufacturing it. Oftentimes, the athlete needs to give his seal of approval when it comes to releases. This wasn't the case though with Kyrie Irving.
Music indeed brings out the best in all of us. It's a way for us to de-stress, celebrate and live it up! When it comes to creating anthems of this caliber, Three-time GRAMMY Award-nominated, multi-platinum, and chart-topping singer/songwriter Camila Cabello knows that for a fact and has just made a massive comeback via her new Latin-inspired single .

Sometimes life gets very formulaic. We over calculate our steps. We overzealously measure our every move. We make sure our timing is always right. We strive for perfection. Every. Single. Time. Winging it in my home gallery. But life shouldn't be too exacting. Nor calibrated. It shouldn't be taken too seriously either.
Who's gotten L's recently in sneaker raffles? Probably it's like 99% of us! Whether it's the bots or the cook groups out there or the backdoor method, for sure it's not looking good for those who just want sneakers for the hell of it.
Margielyn Didal has been making wave after wave to make us beam with Filipino Pride. Her energy and positivity are infectious and inspiring. It's not just about her skateboarding skills anymore, it's her overall character that draws us in.
Sean Wotherspoon is definitely his own entity. He is a multi-hyphenate on his own: thrift connoisseur/businessman and part-owner of Round Two, a self-confessed advocate of veganism, an environmental advocate, and a designer with the most iconic shoes under his name. Enter his latest collaboration with adidas.
Collaborations are basically where it's at. When two brands agree to release something that's a combination of their trademark DNAs, it makes for something new, fresh and exciting. That's exactly the case for these two prominent brands from the Filipino streetwear scene: and .
Dunks have always been a part of the sneaker scenario. They have been on and off trend and frankly, they are never going away. Any self-respecting collector or enthusiast should at least have a pair in his collection as they are definite classics.
There's something really exciting about seeing a new yet to be released to the public shoe. It's that sense of exclusivity that makes it extra awesome. Today, we are privileged to see a pair that's soon to drop publicly and we've got it right here and now.
Nowadays, in this mass-produced landscape of sneakers, it seems to be a giant blur of releases. It kind of takes away the excitement from it and you become desensitized. Call it shoe release fatigue or whatever but it becomes boring after awhile. But then, your faith meter returns with releases that make you beam with joy again...
Ever heard of a fashion brand that trolls so hard that it's already second nature to them? Balenciaga is definitely a top of mind brand when it comes to luxury streetwear, but that doesn't mean the said label can't have fun.
In one's sneaker journey there will always be that insatiable craving for that rare, unattainable sneaker. Of course, due to budget constraints, it's either you just look away, or you find other ways to obtain it. In our case, we just can't take our eyes off the 7-Eleven Nike SB Dunks: a discontinued shoe that is now floating on GOAT for crazy prices.
It takes a lot of bravado and resources for a clothing brand (especially a local one) to release a pair of shoes. With all challenges withstanding, it's a major step up and a refreshing sight to see. Enter HGHMNDS Clothing 's first-ever foray into footwear with the Decadence.
QUICCS is no stranger to the three stripes. As one of the country's top artists both in streetwear and toys, he is rapidly taking claim for shoes under his belt as well. Following his work with adidas on the Harden Vol. 5, QUICCS has collaborated with the Three Stripes for a Forum Low sneaker that follows the TEQ63 theme.
The Air Jordan 1 is basically the foundation of everything sneaker culture is built on. Without that fateful Air Jordan 1 Bred commercial, this collecting contagion wouldn't be as crazy as it is. Similar to the Nike Dunk, the Air Jordan 1 has been getting A LOT of colorways left and right.
In a world of everything mass-produced, there will always be that desire for something unique and customized. Call it the extreme want of pursuing something unattainable, there's something extra cool when you have an item that's specifically made for you.
The charm of Nike SB has always been the backstories and the tales behind their shoe designs and collabs. Unlike other sneaker lines that rely on aesthetics alone, Nike SB, the Dunks in particular will always have a design rationale or inspiration regarding their make and build.
All Over print shirts were the rage back in the 90s. It was practically everywhere. It was fun, loud and very much a statement when worn anywhere you go. Frankly, it was just a matter of time before people came around to it. Realistically, thrifted shirts of comic characters are becoming more and more steep.
In today's world of sneakers, there are so many pairs dropping that you just lose sight of the essential stuff. First, the sneakers have to look good, feel good, and is priced just right. For sure, we spend some hard-earned cash on grail pairs but let's face it, how many times are we rocking them?
Halloween is just around the corner. Given it's the costumes and the treats that excite everyone; we at This Is Hype have a craving for more than that. It's all about the shoes- the minute details, the stories, the lore behind them just draw us in like candies from a witch next door.
If you’re into streetwear, music and sneakers, chances are you’ve come across the ever iconic snapback. Originally hatched from the 90’s, it is hands down an overall essential. Whenever you wear one repping a team or just for the heck of it, you make a strong fashion statement. First made popular in New York and Los Angeles, the snapback is like urban culture’s answer to heavy metal’s leather jacket. It’s all in your head. #embraceyourcrazy

Nowadays it seems like people are becoming more and more conscious of the stuff they eat on the daily. Of course it's an undeniable fact that fast food particularly meat tastes good especially with Pinoy taste buds- but there are some who are finding tasty and far more healthier alternatives.
HGHMNDS CLOTHING is all about positivity through streetwear. Generally catering to an urban demographic, the brand appeals to people from different social backgrounds making it relatable and wearable for one's day-to-day existence.
To some people, vintage clothing and items are the rage just now. You can call it a trend or whatever-but it's been present all along from the start. Thrifting was never a trend to some individuals who find the thrill of the hunt and the stories behind their prized finds.
In today's hype driven world of sneakers, there is no other way to stand out but to keep away from all the noise and clutter. Frankly, comfort and practicality have taken a huge backseat as almost everyone wants the next loud sneaker after the other.
Truly there is nothing as imposing and as intimidating as the Gorilla. Its size and primal appeal just resonates with everyone. Laying claim to his kingdom- the jungle, the Gorilla will remain one of the most powerful beasts in our lifetime. In the art world though, there is one Filipino artist that chose to maximize its visual appeal.
Rugs years back were just looked at for its purpose. Never did it cross our minds that the medium now can be an inclusion to the streetwear lifestyle. It used to be clothing, sneakers, toys...and the infamous rug can now be a part of that list.
Record collecting is now an official thing. Remember how the past saw companies shrinking music formats to its lowest form possible? From CDs to cassettes down to digital? Well, convenience has a price: with its scaled-down versions, there's almost no soul to them. You can't touch and feel the damn thing.
Ever seen a store that houses so much craziness inside? Located right in the heart of the BGC stands Lunaxy. "Embrace Your Crazy" - Man, what a slogan; once you see it, you really can't ignore it. The volt green colorway of the store grabs right at you.
Growth is inevitable when you are open to the possibilities. Dare we say it can't be avoided when you're willing to put in the work. Such is the case with Neil Dimapilis. A man of many hats, he has advocated the power of social media marketing and is now reaping a wide array of careers out of it.
How do you get people drawn into The Dream Widow ? You describe The Dream Widow as a metal project from Dave Grohl and that's me being honest. The fact that the Foo Fighters frontman and Nirvana drummer has been dabbling with metal since he entered the scene is an understatement and was never a surprise to his most diehard of fans.
Kanye West has always been a man of epic proportions. His unwavering vision, his music, his fashion have all threaded the path of the left field and are unpredictable. It's also safe to say that he is indeed a walking contradiction.
New Balance seems to be all the rage right now in the sneaker world. Be it the grayed out General Releases or collabs, there's just something interesting about the brand. Coming from a skeptic who dipped in and out of the runner category, I recently picked up a pair that really arose my interest by way of the Salehe Bembury X New Balance 2002R "Water Be The Guide".
Creativity comes in different timelines. You can't really force it but you can tap into that well of inspiration to make for awesome masterpieces. In the case of international comic artist Harvey Tolibao, it's a skill that's mastered even more than the skill of art itself.
To start your own skate shoe brand is not a joke, let alone in these unpredictable times. Portray Footwear has braved and powered through by starting the near impossible-by coming up with a skate shoe brand that boasts of not just quality and looking the part, but with affordability in mind.
The cap is primarily the thing that people see from one's outfit. It basically sets the tone for your whole vibe. Safe to say, it can make or break your ensemble. If your look is a song, then it would be the intro, the first 10 seconds of it, and that leaves quite the impression.
HGHMNDS is a brand that truly listens to its core fanbase. Due to insistent public demand, we finally decided to take the retail store experience by opening our Cavite location last June 18. By 10am, a huge line was already forming. The excitement was brewing and the energy was something else.
Ever heard of a band that has successfully bounced around heavy and groovy? Screaming and rapping? Head banging to head bobbing? For 25 years? Well, a legend visited the HGHMNDS HQ a few weeks ago. Mr. Reg Rubio of Greyhoundz, Brgy. Tibay and of course, iconic streetwear brand, MEDISINA.
Local streetwear history is made. HGHMNDS and MEDISINA have finally joined forces for a limited edition collection that resonates with the responsible rebels of today. A Powerful Collab!

In today's streetwear and sneaker landscape, rock/metal music has been highly influential in making up its basic foundation. It has always been like that where skate companies draw inspiration from music- the rebellious and heavy in particular.
Eminem has been decked out in Jordans and Nikes for as long as we remember, giving the rapper several sneaker moments that fans will instantly recognize. A self-confessed sneakerhead with an attitude, there is something different with Eminem whenever he busts out a new pair with a lit outfit.
In today's fast hyped sneaker scenario, it's really easy to be swayed into the more popular side of things. Remember paying top Pesos for the season's flavor of the month pair only for them to end up as shelf warmers? Do you feel guilty of sometimes paying so much only to get little mileage out of them?
QUICCS and WIP Caps are well known for their sworn allegiance to hip-hop and its most recognizable icons. This time around, their collaboration is their most interesting yet as it will appeal to both toy/cap collectors and the hip-hop community as well.
In creating your own streetwear empire, it pays to be extra determined. Hesitation means limiting yourself and welcoming the fear of failure. What we love about the local scene now is that the brands are getting braver by the minute. Also, everyone is coming into their own look and feel that you can already differentiate them.
In this day and age especially now that most of us have learned to entertain ourselves indoors from the comforts of our home, vinyl records have given us this new rush and excitement. Whether you're after the format size, the sound, and its sheer collectibility, there's something for everyone.
To dream is the moodsetter of all epic things. To announce it to the world takes bravery and a whole lot of optimism. If you let the world know, you just might surpass your expectations!

Kanye West and adidas have forever changed the sneaker game in a lot of ways. Their team-up disrupted Nike's dominance and have created a wave that we've never seen before. Through the Yeezy 350, we've seen even the most loyal Swoosh disciples switch places, for many valid and yes, hyped reasons.
Caps are basically essentials for everyone. Call it a love for the 90's but it never left. The snapback cap is like the urban counterpart of the leather jacket. That also goes without saying that today's rockstars don't really dress like rockstars anymore- you know, just chill and utilitarian and what more can be as utilitarian as having a cap on your head?
SNK ATK Design Lab has always been consistently killing it as one of streetwear's most progressive brands which got them in collaborations with our very own Carlo Ople. We've recently reported that Carlo Ople's 1nfluence Holdings will pursue technical clothing and explore fashion in the metaverse, which is quite an out-of-the-box thing to see.
When it comes to local streetwear, growth and creativity have always been top factors when it comes to its presence. Call it patriotism, but it would be safe to say that our brands can rival the Supremes and the OFF-WHITEs of the world in due time.
Who would have thought that we'd come to this? From us wanting tight and form-fitting jeans and shirts back in the mid-2000's because of the emo trend, to now going for clothes that are one to two times bigger than what we'd normally wear. To say that fashion goes in circles is truly an understatement.

Podcasting and Social Media are both powerful mediums to spread the word much about anything be it brands, music or services. The best of all is that they are free and ready for the taking for those who want to utilize them.

Truly there is nothing as imposing and as intimidating as the Gorilla. Its size and primal appeal just resonates with everyone. Laying claim to his kingdom- the jungle, the Gorilla will remain one of the most powerful beasts in our lifetime. In the art world though, there is one Filipino artist that chose to maximize its visual appeal.
"When this shoe comes out, I'm gonna get one by hook or by crook." That's what I told myself when images of this shoe floated in social media. It was me fighting myself over the fact that I can't get a pair at retail. I've come to terms with it.
Indeed tastes have changed. Back then when the Yeezy Boost 700 Wave Runner by adidas was introduced to the public, it had a polarizing effect on people. Most hated it and a few swore how the dad shoe trend is a fast dying trend, predicting this shoe's quick demise.

There will always be pairs of shoes that will fall under the unattainable category. These are pairs that will hurt your wallet so much that you won't have anything left for the whole outfit.
With the current vintage craze and hoopla going on right now, sneakers have remained consistent in being a part of any vintage collector's list. Nothing beats that all time high of owning something that has historical value before its popularity.
During these turbulent times, it's a shame that musicians are bottom priority of the food chain. It has sent many artists and musicians in a state of limbo. That being said, there are artists who choose to be headstrong and productive.
Just last weekend, we came face to face with the sad news that Vans co-founder Paul Van Doren has passed away. From his humble beginnings to the present, the man has been instrumental to the brand.
You can partly blame the current situation wherein we are stuck at home: we are indeed turning our spaces into more aesthetically pleasing ones. Plus, they are so nice to look at...and very Instagram-worthy at that!
Truly, the way we see clothes now has changed. Gone are the days when we just lusted after ready made clothing like it's the best thing. Right now, what we're really looking for is individuality-the quest for something out there that fits our persona like a custom glove.
It's too easy to get caught up in the hype of things. For sure, there will always be that expensive pair that you fancy and probably never going to get. That's a sad fact.
These are truly insane times. When a robot company decides to merge with a toy company, they go on to roll out what is probably the most innovative toy we've seen in our lifetimes. It is so one-of-a-kind, the most hardcore of fans in us almost have no choice but to give in.
Nike is a corporate giant, no doubt about that. Everything they do is all about the grand scheme of things: rockstar-like and oftentimes bordering on excess. Keep in mind that Nike churns out A LOT of product, there will always be a number of them that don't make the cut or end up in the trash.
Controversy seems to be the name of the game in streetwear and sneakers once again. Viral American rapper Lil Nas X has stirred up the world the wrong way with his new Air Max 97 collaboration with MSCHF , a Brooklyn-based company known for their lineup of weird boundary-pushing products.
Truly these are weird times but the good news is that we've got what it takes to keep you in check with some meal up your alley! Always on the edge of our seats working hand in hand with Numinous to give you a dose of the hard and heavy, we're changing the face of live music streaming.
Nowadays, it's just to easy to fall for the more popular side of things. Whether it be, clothing, toys, music and of course shoes, people will always go for the more "hype" side of the spectrum. We've all gone that route and sometimes, the stuff we fiended for 6 months ago or so, end up being laughed at and just charged to experience.
is a tried and true brand that has stood the test of time. Founded in 1922 in Texas, Dickies has outfitted people from all walks of life as it is known for toughness, durability and overall style. It has also organically reached out to streetwear culture as a respected staple among style icons and creatives alike.
It's a fact that streetwear can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender, age, or social status. I t can vary between someone in a mid-life crisis jaded about the whole thing, and it can also be for someone who's just discovered it months ago.
Truly, Filipino talent can never be denied. Wherever you turn, there will always be a kababayan of ours making waves in any scene they choose-whether music, movies, and yes, art toys- the ones that get sold out in a snap. The toy equivalent of the sneakers we regularly fiend for.
Streetwear has never been shy of controversy. Courting lawsuits, naysayers and religious backlash has always been part of the game. Especially here in the Philippines where it's still predominantly conservative and Catholic, brands who are a bit keen on exploring, will definitely get reactions. This brand/designer on the other hand, offers something different to the table.
a man of many musical hats has just gone throwback metal on us with a roaring cover of Machine Head's "Ten Ton Hammer" not only that, he assembled an all star lineup composed of Pakoy Fletchero (Typecast) on guitar, Bins Dawan (Imbue No Kudos) on bass and Gerome Melosantos (InRetrospect) on drums. The result?
What's your favorite album cover? The one that doesn't escape you that upon first glance, you can almost hear and taste the music? For sure, album covers go hand in hand with the songs themselves. For sure it's a bit different now where album covers are so small from your Spotify players or too big because of the vinyl resurgence.
Custom Designers are cut from a different cloth. These are individuals who push their chosen craft to uncharted regions. Sometimes, the ideas are so simple enough but well thought of that it makes you say "Damn why didn't I think of that?"
Truly, exceptional Filipino talent can be found everywhere. We definitely have that "It" factor that our artistry is indeed global as global can get! As DJ Khaled says here's "another one." As the first-ever artist signed by PARADISE RISING, Filipino-American hip-hop sensation Guapdad 4000 is dropping his new album, 1176 for the emerging new label.
With their aim to keep the streetwear scene alive especially in these challenging times, this is a valiant effort and is more than worthy of anyone's time of day. Who knows? You might stumble on a your new favorite brand! Happening tomorrow, February 20, at Imagina Place Apolinario St.
Ahhh, here we are again. Another old yet much debated on topic... Sneaker backdooring (or reselling) is not really a bad thing. In fact, it keeps the scene alive to some degree. But then when all are resellers and there are no sneaker collectors to be found, what happens?
Shotgun Combo is always on the top of their game. Funky, heavy and infectious! Just this January, they dropped this monster of a single entitled "Saglit." And this week we just dropped the latest episode of Numinous TV, with them as guests where we learned a lot more about the song...
Jordan Brand is definitely on to something interesting here! Call it a running shoe for basketball or a tech runner, but the Jordan MA2 Concord seems to be hyped on paying tribute to tried and tested Jordan classics. This one is interesting enough by way of its Air Jordan 11 Concord impression!
Sneaker design is no walk in the park. There are those of us who are in love with the idea but are too afraid to take the extra step. There will always be those of us tinkering with Nike By You and changing up colorways, but to design your own sneakers?
Ever since the New Normal situation happened most of us had to adjust our respective lifestyles. This included out sources of entertainment. Of course, we got our Numinous TV episodes to keep you in check, but one commendable individual who's leading the way both in gaming and live performances is Queso/Wilabaliw's Ian Tayao.
Still not over the Valentine's Buzz? There's a saying that love shouldn't be just celebrated during February 14 and we are true believers of that! To give you the fitting sights and sounds for the season we got the pretty ladies of Catfight to tide you over!
Artists are cut from a different cloth. We only live in the world they create. They can weave, color and mold the world based on their vision. We are spectators of the artform they live by.

Who would have imagined that two sports genres can come together in one shoe? One is street-based while the other one caters to let's say, more refined tastes. What if the Air Jordan 4 gets a Golf version-and one with the classic White Cement colorway?

It's all too often a scenario when someone who gets into collecting begins to feel the burn of his/her own passion. Be it toys, comics, musical instruments-and for a lot of us, shoes. How many is "too many?" Where do we draw the line with the stuff we collect?
2020 in the streetwear scene is definitely getting better and better. Secret Fresh and SNK ATK Design Lab have just teased probably one of the more interesting team-ups for this year: the collab combines Secret Fresh's fun to oriented vibe with SNK ATK's flair for Japanese styled techwear.

I've always been fascinated with motion in art. Movement gives art a pulse. Movement brings art to life. Perhaps that's why koi 🐠 and birds 🦆are a couple of my favorite subjects. They flow, they fly, they are free... 🤸 And so I asked... "What if my paintings did really move?"
My morning walks with Rafi, our beagle boy, always catches us both bumping into this gorgeous, evergreen tree. Its vibrant leaves glistening with morning dew, are all turned up to the sun as if in prayer. In return, I would fling my hands in the air to say a prayer of thanks.
Romped around my studio today, eager to create. Stirred by my musician friend's Japanese-inspired composition, my art-making adventure took a different turn! 🇯🇵 Rising sun reds and cool water blues found its way on my canvas. Then origami paper called me like cherry blossoms call travellers to Mt. Fuji in April.
Artists are of a different breed. They know that they can create something that can spark an emotion, that vibe that's rarely tapped into. Of course, we can rely on music and movies but there's that something when you stare at someone's painting or sculpture.

Customization has and will always be a part of toy culture. Long gone are the days that you would only wish for toys that companies won't give you just because it won't sell or it doesn't have that much commercial appeal.
Just this week, we were surprised by the news that Starbucks just popped up at Lazada. Be it the hype or pure curiosity, we are as excited as the next coffee drinker on what this partnership really means.
Nowadays, it's so easy to hoard and hoard stuff especially now that we are mostly stuck at home. From sneakers to toys, to clothing and even records/albums, one can only imagine how one can amass a giant lineup of stuff just by buying online and scanning social media.

Eddie Vedder and co. changed the face of grunge and music in general with Pearl Jam's "Ten" - they were a voice for that time's rebellious youth.

Ever heard of "Rap Metal?" Well, as unpopular as the film was, the soundtrack was another story. Dropped in the 90's, the Judgment Night soundtrack was instrumental in bringing together heavy music and hip-hop making it a starting point to create something unheard of during the 90s.

The most refreshing part about being immersed into sneakers and the culture is to have those days when you suddenly stumble into something you've never seen before. Apart from the usual Swooshes and Three Stripes, there is a yearning to see something out of the ordinary on your timeline.
A cult brand? A cultural powerhouse? The de facto brand that every streetwear brand wants to be... just sold out? Well, if you're in the know - Supreme just sold to VF Corporation, the Denver-based parent company of Vans, The North Face, and Timberland, in a deal valued at $2.1 billion.
There is nothing like leaving something to the imagination. But then, if you happen to skillfully visualize it and share what you envision to the world, it becomes all the more special. Enter the world of designer Chad Manzo, whose obsession with footwear is on another level.
Pro BMX Flatlander Renz Viaje is a man of determination. Starting out way young to see the possibilities through, what was once a hobby has become a full time job for him. A job that's enviable for he'd be doing it anyway regardless of the wins and the accolades.

This re-recording of a Mr. Bungle classic demo from the 80's is insane. It's a rollercoaster! It's thrash metal but the arrangements are out of this world like Cardi B's vocabulary. The thrash is undeniable, especially with Scott Ian (Anthrax, S.O.D., etc.) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc., Suicidal Tendencies, etc.) as added recruits. The star of the show here though is Mike Patton who shows us how to abuse vocal cords like a champ. Ranging from lows to highs, to mids, to...
In these unstable times, it has been a longterm challenge for the musician/performer. Last year, shows were cancelled and the overall vibe was pretty grim.

If you have been into streetwear for a few years now, maybe you've noticed that what used to be niche brands for selected tastes eventually turn to the mainstream. What used to be a secret handshake of a brand will sooner or later turn to a more mass-oriented version of what it used to be.
It's such a sight to see when brands and individuals thrive despite the current pandemic situation. As life goes on regardless of the uncertain and mundane, brands still churn out quality products that we can still look forward to.

Mars Ravelo's Darna, a classic and fictional Filipino comics superhero is now getting an official action figure from LH Collectibles and we can safely say that it will fit in any action figure collection alongside your Marvel and DC roster!
Truly, the worst situations bring out the best in everyone. The same goes for streetwear brands who maximize their branding to deliver messages that would propel their fanbase not only to be fashionable and "lit", that it's also fashionable to be aware and actually do something worthwhile.
Tropical formal wear AKA The Barong has always been a staple when it comes to social functions and celebrations. Often perceived as uptight and too formal, the Barong is often seen as an age group specific garment for very specific events. Galán, The First Sartorial Barong and Guayabera aims to change that public perception.
Local streetwear has always been a life source of growth for creativity and progress. When a group of people puts all their hard work and dedication, something special really is bound to happen.

An almost taboo nowadays, the rockstar/sneakerhead is almost a complete rarity. It's all sneakerhead=rapper/DJ stereotypes all around. It would be safe to say that we are digging deep into the crevices of Filipino rock royalty. TJ Brillantes is one perfect example of that combination.

We have a heart for wrestling and band tees and we just [...]
Times are a changing. The way we think, the way we are wired to do things, even our mode of dressing up. Can you recall the last time you went out without a mask or protective gear?

Usually, when you refer to OG's, its either they are a legacy outfit or a group or an individual that had their glory days. Usually, it's all for nostalgia. But when we refer to Daily Grind as "OG's", the term becomes different.

The word itself presents delusions and acts of obsession. The difficulty level in getting our grails is becoming higher and higher by the day. It used to be a fact that one's physical presence is a major requirement in getting the sneakers you want.
We need music more than ever. Beyond being a mood-setter and mere background music material, music can tame even the most savage beast.

Artists and streetwear brands have long been allies in the scene. Coming from various backgrounds yet at some point meeting in the middle for a common vision, it has long been a practice for both to help each other out in order to satiate that craving- to create something that dialogues with their respective audiences.
