Inspired by the natural world, this collaboration continues to embrace the world’s most diverse environments, such as rugged terrains and scenic mountain ranges to contrasting elements like black sand beaches, snow, ice, and water valleys, which serve as a profound source of inspiration for the ASICS GEL-1130 MK III “GLACIER” project.
This collaboration project fuses ASICS’ advanced technology and HAL STUDIOS retro-futuristic design components with its archival silhouette.
Following the success of the pop-up event, ASICS andHAL STUDIOS® have announced that the collaborative footwear project will be available globally from August 25th.

I just love runners in general as well as old school aesthetics – and New Balance is the perfect representation of that, at the moment New Balance is just at the forefront pumping out all these cool releases. They’ve always been around though, so don’t get that twisted. Also, my instagram name is “oldmansneaks,” I’m just an old man loving me some old man kicks!
Runners is a bit trendy at the moment, especially the y2k ones, I honestly don’t know whether this trend will stick, I do agree with what Ronnie Fieg said on a podcast, that the reason this is happening is that the time is starting to catch up on the runner aesthetics. Also add in the fact the people are starving for something new in the culture which resulted in this movement on the runner and y2k vibes.

Check-out some of the amazing pieces from the capsule below!!!
The true sport performance brand, ASICS, and fashion-forward Australian label, P.E Nation take the next step in their partnership with a new court inspired head-to-toe collection.
Following the success of the first two ASICS x P.E Nation collections, the third collaboration combines PE Nation performance apparel for women and men, as well as a limited supply of the ASICS EX89™ MT sneaker.
Informed by ASICS Sportstyle heritage and infused with P.E Nation’s retro sport lens, the new collection centres on functional, yet stylish design details, designed to complete the ultimate all-day uniform for any on and off court moment.
The new 20 plus piece capsule collection embodies the iconic Sportstyle essence from both ASICS and PE Nation, with essential before-and-after layers and outerwear to complete the ultimate urban everyday athlete’s wardrobe. Hero capsule pieces include a skort, cycle short, leggings, zip jacket, and sports bra. Completing the apparel collection is the iconic ASICS EX89™ MT sneaker, which P.E Nation has injected with its signature street sport lens, pulling design influences from both classic basketball and tennis motifs.
The ASICS EX89™ MT x P.E NATION sneaker is available in two colourways, Black/Glacier Grey; and Pearled Ivory/Burro, and has been updated with textured mesh underlays, double laces, and oversized translucent ASICS stripes. Engineered to move through everyday scenarios in a sport meets street feel, the EX89™ MT sneaker blends the heritage influences of the GEL-EXTREME basketball shoe from 1989 with modern FF BLAST™ technology. The sneaker has a sculpted heel shape to improve underfoot comfort during everyday scenarios, and notable design features include a functional grip feature, as well as the outsole’s pattern which has been created to mirror the view of a city from the sky.
Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning, P.E Nation’s Co-Founders said,
“We’re excited to finally unveil the third collection we’ve been working together with ASICS on. The premise for this release is a complete capsule to be worn on and off the court, and we’ve of course given it the iconic PE Nation urban streetwear touch, enhanced with colour details that clash and pop, to create a sport style collection that takes sport to the city streets.”
“To us, layering the capsule with a basketball-inspired shoe is another extension of the fluidity of life and the interconnectivity of movement, passion and sport. The ASICS EX89™ MT has that court-inspired appeal and a flat sole to enhance comfort and utility from on-court to the inner city.
“ASICS are at the forefront of innovation: their decades of design evolution have led to the most technical sneakers in the market. For us, this collaboration fits back with the P.E Nation ethos: a technical activewear brand built for the streets. It highlights the synergy between ASICS and P.E, too, in terms of aesthetic approach and sharp focus on sustainability. The end result: a 360-package of function, form, and future sensibility.”
Mark Brunton, ASICS Oceania, Managing Director said,
“Our first two collections with P.E Nation were a huge success and the partnership is testament to two brands coming together to push the boundaries of fashion and sports.
“We look forward to seeing our customers enjoy the head-to-toe kit blending ASICS world-famous technology and P.E Nation’s fashion-forward approach to design.”
ASICS and P.E. Nation invites customers to see the collection first at the P.E. Nation flagship store at 500 George Street, Sydney on the morning of the 10th August at 9am. Customers who attend will be in with the chance of winning over 200 prizes, including the new sneakers, gift vouchers worth up to $1000, as well as visors, socks, drink bottles and more.
Inspired by yesterday and engineered for all of tomorrow, the bold new range will be available to purchase online and instore via ASICS flagship stores, ASICS online, P.E Nation and selected retailers from the 10th August 2023.
Marvel Studios this week has released the trailer for the 2nd Season of Loki which will stream on Disney+ later this year. Boy, we cant wait for this one!
Loki was a huge hit for both Disney+ and Marvel Studios back in 2021 and going by this trailer, its going to keep up the pace of the time traveling god of mischef.
Loki Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of the shocking season finale when Loki finds himself in a battle for the soul of the Time Variance Authority. Along with Mobius (Owen Wilson), Hunter B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) and a team of new and returning characters, Loki navigates an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous multiverse in search of Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino), Judge Renslayer (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), Miss Minutes (voiced by Tara Strong) and the truth of what it means to possess free will and glorious purpose.
***SPOILER ALERT***
After the events of Season 1 saw his variant Sylvie kill He Who Remains and unleash the wrath of Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors) upon the multiverse, Loki must once again embark on an adventure to keep reality from collapsing. The last time we saw Loki was in the post-credit scene of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, where he and Morbius were keeping tabs on one of Kang’s mysterious variants known as Victor Timely.
Beyond being tasked with mopping up that murderous mess, Loki and Mobius also have to solve the titular trickster’s new condition: timeslipping. Early in the trailer, Loki unpromptly travels both forward and backward in time. Loki is seen glitching in and out of the TVA offices, which Ke Huy Quan’s OB identifies as the god of mischief undergoing timeslipping, a process that should be impossible in TVA HQ. Not only that, but to OB’s knowledge, there is no defined solution to timeslipping.
This season looks to be as twisted and fun as the previous. We cannot wait for this to hit the streaming service.
Loki Season 2 streams on Disney+ from October 6th 2023.
The NBA have released a feature length documentary chronicling Luc Longely’s personal and professional journey in the NBA called “Foundations”. This begins streaming on the NBA App and website from Wednesday 2nd August with 4 parts. We have been privileged enough to have an early sneak peak at this series in whole to provide this review.
Begin we begin, lets start it back a few years and i think every basketball fan will remember “The Last Dance” that ESPN & Netflix released going over Michael Jordan’s career. Well, this is the other side of that from Australian basketballer Luc Longely, who was fortunate enough to play 3 seasons with the Chicago Bulls in the 90s during what was the greatest era of the NBA.
The documentary is broken into 4 parts: “Beginnings” “Welcome To The League” “Running With The Bulls” “3-Peat”
The series goes over how Luc’s career. This was all in a time in which social media and mobile phones didnt exisit. How he was scouted, to getting drafted into the NBA then becoming what will be the foundation of future Australian basketballer players becoming big in the NBA.
Longely did what people didnt think he could do in a time in which Australians werent big in Basketball. Playing with the GOAT, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during their historic 3-Peat from 1996-1998 before moving on then eventually retiring in 2001 due to injuries.
After taking time away from the game once he retired, Longely has setup his legacy off the court, first as an assistant coach of the Australian Boomers under previous coach Andrej Lemanis and now in his current role as an advisor and part owner of the Sydney Kings, who have won the last 2 NBL Championships along with sending several players to the NBA.
This series is worth the watch if you’re a die hard NBA fan, even just to get the view from Longley himself about his time with Michael Jordan.
Luc Longely: Foundations is streaming on the NBA App and NBA.com from Wednesday 2nd August. Be sure to check it out and let us know what you think
AFEW and Diadora celebrate the heritage of Dino Russo and the impact he had on the world of tennis with the release of the B.560 ‘Dino Russo.’ Its silhouette is a fusion of tennis and fashion, inspired by the greatness on the court, and made for the needs of the street.
This collaboration is to pay homage to the Italian tennis player Dino Russo, the best player who never turned pro. AFEW x Diadora B.560 ‘Dino Russo’ is made in Italy, with handcrafted luxury leather. The Diadora B.560 is the signature sneaker of German tennis legend Boris Becker.
Tennis, elegant and historic, etched its mark on fashion’s soul. Early legends such as Suzanne Lenglen and Bill Tilden brought a sense of style and flamboyance to the court, but the main impact on the fashion world started with the rise of televised matches with players like Boris Becker, Björn Borg or Martina Navratilova.
While the world was celebrating the newly famed masters of the racket, one of the greatest talents of the sport stayed true to his passion, not seduced by potential wealth and fame: Dino Russo.
Since his youth, Dino’s love for the sport consumed him. He dedicated hours and hours to it, pushing his techniques to the limit.
The joy of the game, camaraderie with peers, and the beauty of competition was what he prized above materialistic rewards. The tennis world marvelled, witnessing Dino’s resolute path and steadfast creed. Titles, accolades, and wealth were not his pursuits; his legacy surpassed mere worldly gains.
A fine selection of materials is used on the upper: high-quality pigskin nubuck, and tumbled leather mixed with textile. The EVA midsole provides comfort and stability, while showing artificial wear and tear like you just returned from the clay court.
The AFEW x Diadora B.560 ‘Dino Russo’ will retail for 230€ / $250 USD. It will launch on the 22nd of July and be exclusively released at AFEW in-store and online.

Well, its been a minute. Since we have the SAG-AFTRA (Actors) & Writers on stirke in Hollywood, alot has been either pushed back or stopped for the time being. SDCC is on this weekend, and this would normally bring LOTS of new trailers and panels. With the strike, alot of this isnt happening.
So here we are. Marvel Studios today, dropped the 2nd trailer for The Marvels. We got our first look back in April, and now time for a more indepth look. Off we go into the cosmos with Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau & new comer Kamala Khan. These three characters share such a unique connection in the comics, and the Disney+ Ms. Marvel series highlighted so well how Khan fits into the equation. Monica was last seen in WandaVision, but there was plenty of material there to play off of in The Marvels, and much of it will likely bring Monica into some conflict with Carol. Speaking of Carol, she was last seen briefly in Shang-Chi, but the last time we actually saw her in action was during Avengers: Endgame.
The official synopsis for The Marvels is as follows:
“Carol Danvers AKA Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau.”
The Marvels is directed by Nia DaCosta and stars Brie Larson (Captain Marvel), Teyonah Parris (Photon), Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Zawe Ashton, and Park Seo-Joon.
The Marvels hits cinemas on November 9th 2023 here in Australia and November 10th 2023 worldwide
