These are what could possibly be the dopest Nike sneakers I’ve seen for a while…. and they’re not even by Nike.
Artist David Brownings hand-crafted these paper Nike sneakers in a variety of colour-ways. Best of all, he’s even selling custom paper sneakers on his website for £30 a pair (plus shipping). Sneakerheads now have the perfect conversation piece for their living rooms.

The new Nike Flagship Store opening in Harajuku, Tokyo this Saturday, November 14th.
Looks like a crazy Lady Gaga x Nike commercial… but in real life.

Spring/Summer 2009 was the launch of adidas’ project, Originals by Originals, headed by Kazuki Kuraishi. The Fall/WInter 2009 collection continues the project with some amazing looking pieces and some collaborations with Japanese brands NEIGHBORHOOD and WHIZ.
I kind of want everything. Unfortunately for me, some of these coats don’t come cheap. The NEIGHBORHOOD/Originals KZK peacoat, for instance, sells for 76,650 yen.
Some more of the collection after the jump.
I’m back from a hectic-but-not-nearly-long-enough 12-day vacation in Tokyo.
It’s the second time I’ve visited Japan since I moved back to Canada after a couple of years living Japan. Each time I come back, Tokyo seems a little more busy and crazy than before. I don’t believe it really is, but being in Vancouver gives one a somewhat false sense that the world is larger than it actually is. Maybe it’s just my age or a bit of newfound culture shock, but the lights, the people, the buildings — they’re all pretty overwhelming to take in again after being away for so long.
Porter’s spin on Adidas’ Nizza Hi sneakers? Are you effing kidding me?
Now, I won’t even go into how huge Yoshida & Company’s Porter line is in Japan. I’ll also forgo the mention of Porter’s highly recognizable orange-lined Tanker series (I’ve already got my Tanker briefcase). I should also not mention my never-ending love and adoration of Adidas.
I think I know where I’m going first thing in the morning tomorrow.
