It’s More Than Just Sneakers Auckland 2022 Recap

It’s More Than Just Sneakers Auckland 2022 Recap

Due to this thing called ‘Life’, our event recap for our Auckland event is a bit delayed. LOL! We wrapped up the It’s More Than Just Sneakers (IMTJS) lifestyle tour with a bang on the 26th of November. For the first time in it’s history, the IMTJS event landed in Auckland, New Zealand! We were excited to meet the community and see how this event turns out in this new location.

Before the doors to the Freemans Bay Community Hall officially opened, a line up had already begun outside the venue with guests excited to see what IMTJS had to offer. To add to that excitement, our friends at Monster Energy were on site handing out a variety of their drinks to the guests. Judging by the line up outside, we knew we needed one of those drinks for ourselves to help us get through what turned out to be one of the busiest events we all had been involved in.

Freemans Bay Community Hall was at full capacity during the event which hosted over 20 local vendors selling and displaying anything from basketball cards, artwork, clothing and of course sneakers. With a wide range of sneakers on offer, it wasn’t surprising to see people walk around showing off their latest pick up with a big smile on their face. The wait in line was worth it for them.

As with all IMTJS events, the raffles throughout the day was a big hit. With our generous sponsors providing the prizes, our lucky winners walked away with anything from clothing, games, watches, more sneakers, Foot Locker vouchers and more. Maybe it was the adrenalin pumping, the lack of sleep we had the previous night or the amazing vibe during the event but the raffle didn’t stop when it was suppose to. An additional raffle was announced with Foot Locker vouchers going to more lucky winners.

Speaking to a few of the vendors and guests, it was clear that this community are very passionate and supportive. Vendors don’t mind getting up early to pack their cars with merchandise, setting up their tables and then packing it all up again. Guests didn’t mind and never complained about lining up just to get inside. To most of them, this event gave the community an opportunity to reconnect and share something they love.

What a way to close out the 2022 It’s More Than Just Sneakers lifestyle tour! Thanks to all our sponsors who have made this tour possible. Make sure you give them a follow.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Official Trailer

Are those spidey senses tingling? If so, it’s because we have the new trailer for the sequel to the 2018 hit Into the Spider-Verse.

The Spider-Verse is unleashed in the official trailer for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse swings into theaters on June 2, 2023, and reunites Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld), as they embark on another adventure to save the Spider-Verse. Fan-favorite Spider heroes like Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac) and Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya) are also set to star, as they team up against the villainous Spot. Oh, and did we mention there’s already a third movie scheduled in the Spider-Verse franchise – Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse?

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse producer Phil Lord revealed that the new movie will have six distinct animation styles, compared to the one style from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

“The first film had one animation style that dominates the movie. This movie has six,” Lord told Empire. “So we’re taking those tools, adding all the things we learned on The Mitchells Vs The Machines, and then growing them further to accommodate the ambition of this movie. Which is to wow you every time you enter a new environment, and also to make sure that the style of the movie reflect the story, and that the images are driven by feelings, as opposed to some egg-headed art project. Which it also is, by the way!”

Let us know what you think Spidey fans. Are you excited for this one? The first one was epic, this one should live up to the hype considering we had a 6 month delay in release.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is set to hit cinemas here in Australia on June 1 2023 while international will see it on June 2 2023

Fxxking Rabbits x SNKRDUNK Exclusive Collection

Japan’s streetwear brand Fxxking Rabbits (#FR2) and leading sneaker marketplace SNKRDUNK have teamed up for a limited edition collection that will only be released exclusively in the SNKRDUNK Singapore store. This first-ever partnership between the two Japanese brands includes parodies that show their mutual passion for disruption in their respective scenes.

About the #FR2 x SNKRDUNK Collection

SNKRDUNK and #FR2 share an understanding of the country’s street culture. The two brands see that meaning and value come from interactions. A personal meaning attached to a possession—be it sneakers or streetwear—gains deeper value as it is discussed within the community. And there’s nothing more that gets a community going than tongue-in-cheek references that are specific to the bunch. There’s always things in the making, and things to be made fun of.

Their exclusive collaboration at the SNKRDUNK Singapore store at Mandarin Gallery, features the usual suspects of t-shirts, caps, and other accessories. Every purchase will come with co-branded stickers exclusive to this collection.

In conjunction with this limited time release, the SNKRDUNK Singapore store will also be transformed to include iconic signatures of the #FR2 brand. Expect to see the space adorned with striking barricade tapes, the quintessential rabbits and a revamped Nike Dunk wall.

To celebrate this launch, the SNKRDUNK Singapore store will be holding a lucky draw on the 17th and 18th of December that includes a series of hype sneakers like the coveted Nike Air Jordan 1 High “Lost and Found” and Travis Scott x Nike Air Max 1. Also, the first 50 customers will receive a signed polaroid picture with #FR2 founder Ryo Ishikawa.

The Fxxking Rabbits x SNKRDUNK limited-edition collection will be sold exclusively at SNKRDUNK Singapore, Mandarin Gallery from the 17th of December. Alongside collaborative pieces, in-line #FR2 ear studs and necklaces will also be available at the store. All items are while stocks last. Make sure you subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date! Stay tuned for more SNKRDUNK or Fxxking Rabbits features in the near future. For other previous sneaker features, please click here.

Selecta Bisso x KangaROOS Coil R1 ‘Trout II’

KangaROOS has once more teamed up with French street culture aficionado Selecta Bisso to create the highly unique ‘Trout II’ as part of their Made In Germany collaborations.

So what’s so unique about these shoes? Well, ever seen sneakers using real fish skin? KangaROOS and Bisso combined premium suede with authentic tanned fish leather, giving these shoes a truly distinctive characteristic.

Bisso drew inspiration from the world of concrete and nature in which he practises ‘street fishing’ – a sport to hunt fish in the local waterways within a city. The shoes are a perfect balance of different shades of grey, with splashes of vibrant colours, reminiscent of the fish and the environment in which they reside.

The Trout II’s defining fish leather was sustainably sourced from food industry waste, and created using a vegetable tanning process. With only 500 pairs on the market, each pair has the numbering at the heel of the right shoe. You’ll also find a rainbow trout heel stamp, and the collaborative branding on the tongue. In line with their efforts at sustainability, each pair also comes with an additional KangaROOS tote bag.

The Selecta Bisso x KangaROOS Coil R1 ‘Trout II’ is set to be released 8th of December, and will be available at select European retailers. Make sure you sign up to our newsletter, so you can stay up to date! For other KangaROOS features, click HERE.

Up There x New Balance M2002RUP ‘Backyard Legends II’

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

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

Super Mario Bros. Official Trailer

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

Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny Trailer Released

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.
