Loki Season 2 Trailer

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.

NBA Presents: Foundations with Luc Longely

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.

luc longely chicago bulls

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 x Diadora B.560 ‘Dino Russo’

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.

The Marvels New Trailer

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 Marvels

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

ASICS x Cecilie Bahnsen GT-2160™

ASICS is pleased to announce a collaboration with Cecilie Bahnsen, coming together to launch a collection of sneakers, re-interpreting ASICS’ GT-2160™ sneaker. Following the highly anticipated capsules of hand-embellished trainers developed between the brands, this collaboration continues to celebrate the intersection of everyday couture, movement and comfort, combining Bahnsen’s intricate feminine DNA with ASICS’s technical expertise.

In launching this special project, Cecile Bahnsen has come together with regular partner of the brand, Japanese photographer Takashi Homma, to create a captivating visual showcase of the Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS collaboration. The campaign captures the essence of the collection with images of a girl gracefully moving through Tokyo at twilight, donning the ASICS sneakers and the Cecilie Bahnsen Fall Winter 2023 Collection.

The campaign and collaboration have been presented in a gallery style format during a pop-up event coinciding with Paris Fashion Week. Taking place from June 21st to 24th, the pop-up featured large-scale prints of Takashi Homma’s images, displayed throughout the space. The pop-up paid homage to the studied craftsmanship and passion invested in this collaboration, echoing the artistry behind each shoe. The GT-2160™, exhibited on plinths in a raw space, have created a striking contrast in merging Cecilie Bahnsen’s feminine universe with ASICS’s technical appeal alongside the visual campaign.

The first of two drops of the Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS collection have officially launched on ceciliebahnsen.com and MATCHES on July 5th followed by the global release on July 19th. The Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GT-2160 will be available in two colorways; black and white, priced at $300 AUD. 

With comfort and unique style sitting at the core of the collaboration, the GT-2160™ is constructed with a light; feminine and modern take on a Mary Jane shoe, where transparencies and florals are paired with everyday couture.

“Building upon an ongoing partnership with ASICS, this new collaboration continues to push the boundaries of Cecilie Bahnsen’s modern vision of femininity, interpreted through the lens of movement, motion, and mindfulness. Finding harmony between intricate couture detailing and hyper-feminine embellishments with ASICS’ technical and functional universe is an exciting design challenge that we welcome with each collaboration.”

– Cecilie Bahnsen

These shoes are available to purchase on ceciliebahnsen.com and MATCHES, followed by the global release on July 19th where they will be available to purchase on ASICS.com, Above The Clouds and Highs and Lows.

Saint Barkley x Sole Superior

Our homies from Singapore, Sole Superior, join forces with Indonesian sneaker brand Saint Barkley for a limited edition sneaker. This international collaboration project was born from mutual admiration and respect, and it took 4 years in the making.

First previewed in Singapore at Sole Superior last November 2022 and introduced to the Indonesian community at Jakarta Sneaker Day in February 2023, the collaboration generated unplanned buzz when the sample pairs were stolen from the secured display. Taking this in a positive light, both Saint Barkley and Sole Superior offered a reward for any assistance in recovering the samples, praising the sneaker thief for having “Terrific Taste, Terrible Ethics”. The samples were never recovered.

Inspired by the popularity of ‘Scratch N Sniff’ stickers of the 1980s, the Saint Barkley x Sole Superior sneaker collab features:
● A bubble gum scented tongue that discharges scent when coming in contact with the wearer’s foot.
● Peach suede upper with light reflective stitching.
● Vulcanised white rubber midsole with Saint Barkley’s trademark volt green sole.
● 3 exclusive Saint Barkley x Sole Superior Air Fresheners
● Action figure / Clear Window shoebox packaging

In keeping with the goal of creating a fresh and timeless sneaker that is available for skateboarders and sneakerheads from all walks of life, the Saint Barkley x Sole Superior limited edition sneaker will retail at the affordable price of $66 SGD.

The Saint Barkley x Sole Superior limited edition sneaker release will also be accompanied by a matching apparel capsule that consists of a Tee Shirt, Cap and Coach Jacket, of course all in limited numbers.

The Saint Barkley x Sole Superior limited edition sneaker will be releasing in-store at Saint Barkley HQ in Bandung Indonesia and online exclusively at Saint Barkley’s Shopee SG store on Sunday the 9th of July, 2023. Limited to only 500 pairs. For more information about the Saint Barkley brand, visit https://saintbarkleyshoes.com/.

Oakley Factory Team Introduces Paguro Capsule Collection

The Oakley Factory Team expands its creative ecosystem to include the Paguro Capsule Collection. The brand-new silhouette is the first-of-its-kind to be calibrated and developed deep in the Factory Team Labs. 

Available in three organic tones – Coffee (for purchase exclusively through Brain Dead), Hummus and Toadstool – Paguro’s dynamic silhouette gets its name from the crustaceans that evolved by migrating from shell to shell.  

Each Paguro mule is formed with a unique compound structure to create an intricate organic casing for lasting comfort and support. This intentional design is complimented by two contrasting densities of injected EVA which form the foundation of the sandal. Paguro’s durable heel insert provides a bouncy springboard for each step, while its cosy interior is calibrated by a firm exterior. An extra-dense outsole material grounds the shoe and keeps a tight grip on terrain as you explore. 

The Oakley Factory Team Paguro in Toadstool is not poisonous to humans, unlike its fungus cousin. A unique purple hue gives these sandals a sense of softness and calm, one that encourages your feet to call this slip-on home.  

The mouth-watering hue of the Oakley Factory Team Paguro in Hummus makes it the go-to mule for any occasion. The neutral upper mixed with the contrasting traction pods add to the complexity of its flavour.  

The tasteful and sleek Oakley Factory Team x Brain Dead Paguro in Coffee, available for purchase exclusively through Brain Dead, is a subtle choice that complements any colour palette. Bold and with eye-catching details, the Coffee Paguro features a silhouette that seamlessly slips on.  

The exclusive Oakley Factory Team x Brain Dead Paguro Toadstool and Hummus colorways will be available from July 11 at 10 AM PT on WEAREBRAINDEAD.COM, Oakley.com, at select Brain Dead locations worldwide, and the following Oakley stores:  

Oakley Fifth Avenue, NYC  

Oakley Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica  

Oakley Cadorna, Milan  

Oakley Covent Garden, London  

Oakley Marina Bay, Singapore  

Oakley Shibuya, Tokyo  

Oakley Harajuku, Tokyo
