Up There x New Balance M2002RUP ‘Backyard Legends II’

0

Melbourne’s premier sneaker and fashion boutique Up There is definitely having a massive 2022 with sneaker collaborations. They started with the ASICS GT-II and then went on to the New Balance M2002RUT. To end the year with a bang, Up There is back at it again with another huge collaboration with New Balance.

The Up There x New Balance M2002RUP  ‘Backyard Legends II’ is born from a love of sports footwear, inspired by a laid-back Australian lifestyle, translated through the lens of the New Balance expertise.

After taking a classic catch, Pat floated across the Pacific Ocean for almost a year — washing up in California. Regardless of how that’s even possible, Pat’s back and itching to bowl another over in his M2002RUP.

The 2002R is back for another innings — that springy N-ERGY sole unit and techy upper are still perfect for the job. The synthetic materials are out, subbed for American–made Wolverine suede. There’s mesh everywhere — even places you wouldn’t normally find it. The signature details of the first Backyard Legends aren’t going anywhere, including the iconic “AUS” branding — we can’t let anyone forget where these Legends floated–in from.

The Up There x New Balance M2002RUP ‘Backyard Legends II’ will release exclusively through Up There with an in-store release from 8am AEDT Friday the 9th of December and a global online release the following day from 8am AEDT Saturday the 10th of December.

Men’s sizes US5 through to US13 (including US5.5 through to US11.5) will be available for $250AUD. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter, so you can stay up to date! For other Up There features, click HERE and for New Balance features, click HERE.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Official Trailer Released

0

Paramount Pictures has released the first official trailer for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, the new film in the live-action Transformers feature film series. The movie will bring in the fan-favorite characters from the Beast Wars spinoff series for the very first time. The new film will also see the return of classic Transformers characters that would be impossible to exclude like Optimus Prime (voiced again by Peter Cullen), Bumblebee, Arcee, and Wheeljack.

ransformers: Rise of the Beasts is officially described as follows: “Returning to the action and spectacle that first captured moviegoers around the world 14 years ago with the original Transformers, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ’90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.” Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback lead the human cast for the film which includes some surprising voice actors including Ron Perlman as the gorilla-inspired Optimus Primal, Michelle Yeoh as fellow Maximal Airazor, and Pete Davidson as Autobot Mirage.

This will be the 7th movie in the transformers series which was all kicked off by the Michael Bay movie back in 2009. The series was given the soft reboot treatment with 2017’s Bumblebee, a solo movie that also dialed back the action to the 1980s. The upcoming Rise of the Beasts will take place in the 1990s.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will release in Australia on June 8 2023 with international release set for June 9 2023

Super Mario Bros. Official Trailer

0

A second trailer for the upcoming Super Marios Bros. Movie was release this week at a new Nintendo Direct presentation. It was only 6 weeks ago, we were treated to the first teaser trailer. The trailer gives fans a closer look at what to expect from the film when it releases in April, including a chance to hear Anya-Taylor Joy’s take on Princess Peach, and see Donkey Kong. Nintendo had teased the trailer with a glimpse inside Peach’s Castle yesterday, leading many to suspect that the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom would take center stage in today’s trailer. We did get to see just that, as well as a glimpse at several other elements, including Tanooki Mario, the presence of Mario Karts, and even a whole bunch of Yoshis!

From what Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment have revealed thus far, The Super Mario Bros. Movie seems to adhere closely to the earliest elements of the Mario canon. That means story beats that haven’t been referenced in recent games, such as Mario and Luigi originally hailing from Brooklyn, while Princess Peach and the Toads come from the far-off Mushroom Kingdom. The movie will also include characters that played a more important role in Mario’s early history, like Spike and Cranky Kong. As a result, later fan favorites like the Koopalings probably won’t show up until the sequel.

The best part of the trailer for us was seeing the whole Mario Kart feature. This is an instant sell in seeing the movie.

Let us know what you think Mario fans

Super Marios Bros. is due to hit cinemas here in Australia on April 6th 2023 with the international release on April 7th 2023

0

Disney have dropped the first trailer for the 5th installment of the Indiana Jones movies at the CCXP Convention in Sao Paulo.

So, where do we go from here? Is this the last Indiana Jones movie in the series? Harrison Ford has worn the hat for 40 years now. Will this be the last time? Lucasfilm has not expressly confirmed this will be the last, but given the fact Ford is now 80 years old, this could be his last, but doesnt mean someone else will take over

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be directed by Logan’s James Mangold. Specific plot details are currently unknown at this time. The cast also includes Phoebe Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”), Antonio Banderas (“Pain and Glory”), John Rhys-Davies (“Raiders of the Lost Ark”), Shaunette Renee Wilson (“Black Panther”), Thomas Kretschmann (“Das Boot”), Toby Jones (“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”), Boyd Holbrook (“Logan”), Oliver Richters (“Black Widow”), Ethann Isidore (“Mortel”) and Mads Mikkelsen (“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”).

For now, enjoy the trailer as we will have to wait another 6 months before the release.

Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is set for release on June 29th 2023 here in Australia with the international release set for June 30th 2023.

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 Official Trailer

0

FINALLY!!!!! Here we go Marvel fans, we finally have the first official trailer for the upcoming 3rd installment of Guardians of the Galaxy

Earlier this year, Marvel fans were treated to the first footage from Volume 3 at SDCC, however it wasnt shared with the public. After months of waiting, we are finally here!

Now this one really looks like its gunna hit right in the feels. We have been hearing alot of rumours about this one being the last time we will see these Guardians together. Does this mean some of the die? move on? We will see in due time.

Now the question is, do you need to watch the recently Holiday Special that debuted on Disney+ last week? There are moments in the new special that will come up again in Volume 3. Director James Gunn recently confirmed this in a recent interview with Comicbook.com’s Phase Zero Podcast host Brandon Davis

“People should see the Holiday Special. You’re obviously gonna learn a lot about where the Guardians have been in the past few years. You know, you’re gonna see how they now inhabit Knowhere. They’ve got a new ship called the Bowie. They’ve got a dog [who] is part of their crew now who has telekinesis named Cosmo. So where you get to learn all that, and then there’s a couple of bigger pieces of spoiler-y lore. You’re gonna learn all of those things. In a way, the Holiday Special was a Trojan Horse for me to sneak in stuff that becomes important in Volume 3, so I don’t have to spend a lot of time at the beginning of that movie explaining it.”

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 is set to hit cinemas on May 4 2023 here in Australia with international release on May 5 2023.

SneakerLAH x HUNDRED% x ASICS GEL-LYTE™ III ‘Teh Tarik’

0

Malaysia’s biggest sneaker event and our homies SneakerLAH and streetwear store HUNDRED% are at it again with another three-way collaboration with ASICS Malaysia. With already two huge successful collaborations with ASICS under their belt, (GEL-KAYANO™ 5 OG “Nasi Lemak” in 2019 and GEL-LYTE™ III “Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers” in 2020), SneakerLAH and HUNDRED% reveal yet another locally inspired sneaker, honouring their Malaysian roots.

This year, the concept behind the collaboration for ASICS’ most prominent silhouette, the GEL-LYTE™ III, was inspired by Malaysia’s most popular drink, the Teh Tarik. Literally translated as “pulled tea”, the popular beverage is made from a strong brew of black tea blended with condensed milk that is most commonly found in mamak stalls, and restaurants as well as kopitiams around the country.

The SneakerLAH x HUNDRED% x ASICS GEL-LYTE™ III “Teh Tarik” colourway draws inspiration from the national drink, with bold caramel suede to resemble the various shades of milk tea. A debossed “LAH” branding presents itself on the upper to commemorate the pair as a true Malaysian collaboration.

The sneaker features inter-changeable eye-catching stripes that mimic the splashes made by the process of the pulled tea. The speckles and imprints on the insole represent the stain left behind by a glass of Teh Tarik, while the white translucent sole mirrors the gleaming surface of the tables usually found in the mamaks or kopitiams.

The SneakerLAH x HUNDRED% x ASICS GEL-LYTE™ III “Teh Tarik” will be released on the 4th of  December via online raffle on SneakerLAH.com. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter, so you can stay up to date! For other ASICS features, click HERE and for sneaker features, click HERE.
