MILK MAGAZINE feat Know1edge Winter 2009 Collection

It’s getting colder and colder again! The perfect timing for Know1edge Winter 2009 Collection to hit the market.

MILK magazine (Good to see Jan Lamb on the cover again) gives us love on 3 pages of product reviews on the Know1edge Winter 2009 Collection.

The SPALEDGE N-1 (Know1edge x Spaz) collaboration jacket is definitely one of my favorites! Perfect fit and style.  Check out JESSE (not pictured at MILK) as well, a thick jacket perfect for colder countries.

8FIVE2SHOPS 10th Anniversary Chukka Low

Time flies…this year 8FIVE2SHOP is celebrating it’s 10th Year Anniversary. We’ve definitely been through our share of ups and downs but hey, it’s part of life and we are loving every moment of it, no regrets.

We’re very honored to have Vans doing this collaboration with us to mark our 10 year anniversary which has been officially released. Only sold exclusively at www.8five2.com
The reason why we chose this model Chukka Low is because;
1 it’s one of the best looking shoes
2 it’s one of the best skateboarding shoes
Combine those 2 and you have an amazing shoe
Try a pair and you’ll understand.

Definitely thank you goes to Jon, Jay, Rian and Tom, you guys are fuckin dope. To Rhandy Thambiao and Todd Shimabuku (In4mation) for the most amazing official custom 8FIVE2 camo. All Vans VF Hong Kong crew (especially Lee Hawk and Mitch). And of course to all that have been supporting 8FIVE2SHOP since day one.

More to come for sure.

THINGS WE’LL MISS FROM SINGAPORE
Chatterbox in Meritus Mandarin Hotel in Singpore has the best Hainan Chicken rice that I’ve ever had.  It’s all about getting the rice right.

Durian feast at this place where the lady has been selling durians for over 40 years.  The crazy thing is that she hates durians particularly the smell!

Eating mangosteen for the first time in my life was like discovering “ctrl Z”

A good shop in Singapore dedicated to chocolate…we like the lab-like interior

Our good friend G is the official DJ at G-hotel (one of the best boutique hotels) in Penang…and yes, his real name is ‘G’ and it’s just a coincidence he works at the G…thanks for representing Know1edge

Lovewright and Hellz

For all you die-hard Lovewright fans…the new tee’s have finally arrived at 8FIVE2SHOP.
And this time, we have some women’s tee’s (Yes Lisa S. It’s true! )
Danny got the women’s tee’s fitting down: Soft, tight, a bit longer so you don’t show any unwanted jiggle, and not so high on the neck just the way I like them!
If you’re sleeping on this brand,
you’re missing out on one of the sickest artist’s out there Danny Reyes!


Speaking of girls tee’s…I just got my fix of Hellz Bellz!
Coco x Hellz~GENIUS Ms. Lan!
Big big thanks to Lanie, Bam, and Jino!
The collection is amazing and the photographs by Brooke Nipar are AWESOME!
