Bapestas + DC Comics

We saw A Bathing Ape drop the DC comics tees, hoodies and sweaters but now we see them strapping Batman to people's feet. Much anticipated, the Bapestas DC comics signature models will be released in mid July. Again there is Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash. The kicks feature each superhero's signature colors and a small comic face on the back to stare at the crooks lying on the floor as you flee the scene after defeated them.

Personally all of them are fresh kicks. The whole concept of Bape and DC Comics is ingenious. The colorways of each shoe is perfect and would look hot and anyone's feet.

The making of Hoodman tees

Ever wandered how in the world tees are made. This short video shows how Hoodman makes their tees. The making of DMX and Bowser riding together.

All in all nice video with good beats and a lot of machinery.



"Back in the day we wore Tommy, Polo whatever, and that s**t had nothing to do with me, I don’t know where to find a horse. I wouldn’t know where to f**king go play polo. None of that lifestyle, none of it connects with me, but I remember we all wore it." - Eddie Huang

Hoodman creates clothing that people can relate to - hip hop and video games yo!!!!

Billionaire Boys Club / Ice Cream "Waffle" Shoes

Billionaire Boys Club have already come out with their "waffle" hoodies and t-shirts which are shown on their site. So would it be right to not release a "waffle" Ice Cream shoe? For the past two years Ice Cream has been releasing their signature board flips which proved to be a unique, different and overall a nice pair of kicks.

Now Ice Cream are looking at the sweeter side of life and will release a low top, very unique "waffle" shoe in October 2007 retailing for $US200. The shoe features an all over waffle design with splats of butter for added flavour.

Personally these kicks aren't my cup of tea or should I say "waffles for the morning" but it will be very interesting to see Pharrell or Terry Kennedy in a pair of these.

BAPE or A Bathing Ape is a Japanese clothing company started in 1993 by Nigo (real name Tomoaki Nagao).
