G-SHOCK 40th Anniversary REMASTER BLACK Collection

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the G-SHOCK brand, CASIO has announced the release of the newest additions to its line of shock-resistant G-SHOCK watches. The four REMASTER BLACK watches will feature bands imprinted with all the model names of past milestones of G-SHOCK models, whose innovations have forged the evolution in the unending pursuit of toughness.

These 40th anniversary shock-resistant REMASTER BLACK timepieces feature a band imprinted with the names and launch years of past G-SHOCK milestone models. From more than 4,200 models launched over the past 40 years, Casio has chosen 49 G-SHOCK models to represent the innovative advancements in structure, function, materials, and design the brand has delivered over time. These model names are imprinted on the REMASTER BLACK band with a hot-stamping process that impresses the lettering into the band, for a textural, indented effect. The overall design is in G-SHOCK brand black accented with gold-coloured stainless steel band loop.

G-SHOCK 40TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTER BLACK COLLECTION

These latest timepieces are based on four perennially popular models: the DW-5600, which inherited the original iconic G-SHOCK shape; the DW-6600, the first G-SHOCK equipped with backlight; the analog-digital combination GA-110; and the GA-2100, with its unique octagonal bezel. The new DWE-5657RE, designed based on the DW-5600, comes with an interchangeable round DW-5700 bezel to deliver the fun of two different looks in one timepiece.

In addition to the anniversary logo engraved on the case back, a star is engraved on the button on the lower left side of the case for three of the models, and on the watch glass at the 40 minute mark for the GA-114RE. On both the DWE-5657RE and the DW-6640RE, the anniversary logo appears when the backlight is lit.

The bezel and band are made with bio-based resins for less environmental impact. The newly developed modules employed in the DWE-5657RE and DW-6640RE provide a high-brightness LED backlight and battery life of five years. The special packaging for these models is made with recycled paper to help promote a circular economy.

The Marvels Official Trailer Release

The Marvels Official Trailer Release

On Wednesday, Marvel Studios released the first teaser trailer for the Captain Marvel sequel, giving us the best look yet at the upcoming blockbuster. The Marvels will feature Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Paris), and Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani) on an intergalactic adventure that has something to do with Ms. Marvel’s bangle. We got to see a brief tease of what’s to come during the season one finale of Ms. Marvel, where Captain Marvel made a brief appearance in the series’ mid-credits scene.

In The Marvels, following the events of Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), and Monica Rambeau begin swapping places with each other every time they use their powers and must team-up to figure out why. The film will also see the franchise returns of Samuel L. Jackson, Saagar Shaikh, Zenobia Shroff, and Mohan Kapur.

Zawe Ashton appears to be playing the villian in this movie. She’s affiliated with the Kree and the movie’s description mentions a “Kree revolutionary,” which would make a lot of sense seeing her rocking a staff like Ronan the Accuser from Guardians of the Galaxy. The wormhole we see Captain Rambeau touch at the beginning of the trailer is supposed to be linked to this Kree technology as well. So, it’s all coming together now!

As a nice bit of icing on the cake, Ashton’s baddie has one of the bangles that amplifies Ms. Marvel’s powers on as well. So, all of the tendrils of the MCU are touching this one. We’ve got cosmic angles, Kamala’s weird multiverse related powers, and S.W.O.R.D. (or SABER possibly?) ties to Earth stuff. Between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels, cosmic fans are in for a treat this year.

The Marvels

The Marvels is set for cinema release on November 10th 2023. What did we think Marvel fans?

HAL STUDIOS® x ASICS GEL-1130™ MK II ‘Forest’ GLOBAL RELEASE UPDATE

The sought after ASICS GEL-1130 ™ MK II ‘FOREST’ will be launching on the HAL STUDIOS website April 18th and launching Globally on the ASICS website April 29th. 

ASICS and HAL STUDIOS recently launched their latest iteration of their collaborative partnership with the launch of the GEL-1130 ™ MK II ‘FOREST’. The MK II ‘FOREST’ is a celebration of ASICS’ innovative technology fused with the HAL STUDIOS® Design Thinking ideology.

The MK II design expresses the evolution of ASICS and HAL STUDIOS’ ‘maximal minimalism’ ethos. Following the MK I, launched in April 2022, the MK II sees the classic ASICS GEL-1130 ™  heritage style with stripped back characteristics of the traditional running silhouette, paired with contrasting textures and tones.

The ‘FOREST’ colourway draws inspiration from the natural world, with the palette referencing the forests and Shinto shrines of ASICS’ home, Japan. Wide open breathable mesh and hairy suede panelling coated in shades of green are contrasted against brown leather accents and antique white midsoles. The striking orange highlights on the GEL ™ cushioning heel unit, insoles, and collaborative rubber hang-tag are inspired by Japanese Shinto shrines.

The classic ASICS GEL-1130 ™  style, first released in 2008, maintains its key technological features including the TRUSSTIC ™  support system to provide underfoot stability and iconic GEL ™  technology cushioning. The preservation of these features in the design process allows the heel unit to absorb shock, offering easy-wearing comfort reimagined with a modern feel for the streets.

ASICS Australia Managing Director, Mark Brunton said, “ASICS Sportstyle is excited to see our continued partnership with HAL STUDIOS® come to life with the latest launch of the GEL-1130 ™  X MK II ‘FOREST’ footwear collaboration.

Our Sportstyle team continues to innovate and push the boundaries of the sneaker space with the shoe’s design paying homage to ASICS Japanese heritage and the classic GEL-1130 ™  running silhouette, whilst celebrating the creative vision of a local brand.”

The Kickz Stand’s Hit List #54 Air Max Month Special

What was the sneaker that kick started it off for you?!?

Let’s take it back, I think when I was heaps young maybe 7-8 years old, my first sneaker that I can remember was Kaypee. Do you remember that brand in the Philippines? After destroying that, next sneaker was a Jordan 4. To be honest what really got me into sneakers was watching my favourite player Grant Hill from the Detroit Pistons back in the day. The Fila GH1 started it all for me.

Could you please give us the scoop on this amazing pair of Air Max 1s?

During the early days of The Kickz Stand around 2014, while I was in Singapore for the Sole Superior event. The boys from the event introduced me to Mark Ong aka Mr Sabotage. From there I guess our friendship started. In the same year, Mark launched these series of AM1’s with different camo designs. So I hit him up and asked him to make me a pair that is dedicated to my children. Today these sneakers are still in brand new and awesome condition and have been displayed in a few Air Max Day events in Sydney over the years. When people ask me what are my grails, these are my grails. My biggest achievements in life are my children.

Matin Kim x ASICS GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50

Matin Kim, a Seoul based design label and ASICS have partnered up for their first ever sneaker collaboration with a GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50. The Matin Kim x ASICS GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50 collection will come in a three colourways. The duo’s first global collaboration pack feature the silhouette into an entirely new direction while staying true to the GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50 sneaker’s excellent comfort and chunky aesthetic.

With ASICS being famous for its unimpeachable technicality, and Matin Kim being a brand focusing on making unique pieces associated with minimalism, their link-up starts from asking themselves a self-critical question of “which shoes would I wear when I go on a journey to find my own ego?”. The duo features three colourways with the GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50. Each of the colours will be named in “Glacier Grey/White”, “Oasis Green/Pure Silver”, and “Black/Pure silver”.

“Glacier Grey/White” pair appears in clean leather uppers with a gridded mesh base and the details including nylon eyelet loops and deep treaded soles.

“Oasis Green/Pure Silver” colour features a light aquatic mint colour that contrasts with the shiny silver colour to add subtle charm.

“Black/Pure Silver” colour features turquoise green and blue point colours added to the khaki colour scheme details.

Aside from the subtle material and colour tweaks, “Glacier Grey/White” and “Oasis Green/Pure Silver” colour ways see more comprehensive modification by way of more functional lacing system. All line ups include special details arriving as part of the collaboration include thin lock laces and line ups include co-branding across the patent leather tongue tabs and insoles.

The Matin Kim x ASICS GEL-SONOMA™ 15-50 will be available from the 7th of April at
asics.com, Highs and Lows, Finesse and Laced. To stay up to date, make sure you sign up to our newsletter. For other ASICS features, click here.

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse New Trailer

Definately a good week if you’re a Marvel fan. Earlier this week, we had the new trailer for the upcoming Secret Invasion series on Disney+ and now we have a fresh new look at the Sony Pictures x Marvel 2nd installment of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

This trailer shows off more of the various Spider characters that will be featured in the film, as well as some footage of the returning favorite characters.

Across the Spider-Verse will see the return of stars Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, and Jake Johnson, all of which are reprising their roles from Into the Spider-Verse. Oscar Isaac will be reprising the role of Spider-Man 2099, having first appeared in the post-credits scene from Into the Spider-Verse.

Issa Rae leads the impressive cast of newcomers, taking on the role of Spider-Woman. She’s joined by Karan Soni, Jason Schwartzman, Daniel Kaluuya, Shea Whigham, and Jorma Taccone. Across the Spider-Verse is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, from a screenplay written by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Dave Callaham.

So how many different Spider-Men can you see in the trailer? This movie is going to be full of easter eggs and there is a very funny meme towards the end of the trailer which will go down well with Spider fans.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse swings into theaters on June 2nd. Let us know what you think of this new trailer

Adityalogy x Parabellum® PHANTOM VRTX

Adityalogy x Parabellum® PHANTOM VRTX

Aditya Anugrah aka Adityalogy, our homie from Jakarta, Indonesia, a renowned lifestyle aficionado who has been shaping the Indonesian hype culture over the last decade, partners up with Parabellum Tactical Gear. This collaboration was a long overdue project that sees Aditya working hand in hand with Parabellum Tactical Gear, the forefront brand name that paved the way for the local tactical industrial movement in Indonesia since 2013.

Naturally, the collaboration will spur something mystical, practical & devilishly edgy akin to both parties’ distinctive background. The Adityalogy x Parabellum® PHANTOM VRTX collection will consist of complete apparel & footwear line ups.

Design Principle

phan-tom /’fan(t)em/
noun – a spirit believed by some to visit the living as a pale, almost transparent
form of a person or other ghostly object.

vor.tex /’vor,teks/
noun – something regarded as drawing into its powerful current everything that
surrounds it with irresistible force

The design language of Adityalogy x Parabellum® PHANTOM VRTX truly reflects its name. A mysterious dark presence that lures everything around it not to be intimidated but rather to wander & marvel at its mystifying display. Tis the message that Parabellum translates directly from Adityalogy’s own signature monochromatic style.

Emphasizing the darkness from the black colour to draw the collection’s silhouette has been the ultimate blueprint since the sketching process began. A strong off-white base colour then added to disrupt & lighten the heaviness of the black to encapsulate a balanced lightweight feeling for the final look. Last but not least, straight clean lines were embodied to highlight the modern techno persona of the overall series.

The Adityalogy x Parabellum® PHANTOM VRTX will be releasing on the 29th of March and will be available at Parabellum Tactical Gear website. Make sure you subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date! Stay tuned for more Parabellum features in the near future. For other previous sneaker features, please click here.
