The Kickz Stand’s Hit List #34

“I’ve been collecting kicks for a minute now. I love to collect all types of sneakers, not just the hyped on.

Like most collectors, as a kid we couldn’t afford expensive shoes. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, owning a pair of Nike‘s or any other popular sports brand was a big deal.


Its funny to watch how sneakers that were once easily obtained are now super hyped. A good example of this is the Dunk / SB Dunk hype situation that’s happening right now. I copped this pair (SB Dunk Cali High) back in 2014 or 2015 from the nike outlet for $60. These days they are selling for close to double retail!!!”

Space Jam: A New Legacy First Look

For years, Lebron James has blocked all questions relating to the Space Jam sequel which has been in the works for many years. But now, after all the hype surrounding it, we finally get a first look at the upcoming sequel to the 1996 cult classic thanks to Enterainment Weekly.

Space Jam: A New Legacy is set for release on HBO Max & cinemas on July 16th 2021. It was pushed back from the original 2020 release date due to COVID-19. Another thing to note is that this movie will mark the first theatrical release to feature Looney Tunes characters since Looney Tunes Back In Action (2003), and like the original Space Jam, it will be a combination of live-action & traditional hand drawn 2D animation with some CGI effects.

So, what kind of story will we expect in the upcoming sequel. The premiese of the movie is as follows:

“When basketball champion & global icon Lebron James and his young son Dom, who dreams of being a video game developer, are trapped in a vitrual space by a rogue algorithm named Al-G Rhythm (played by Don Cheadle). Lebron must get them home safe by leading Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Lola Bunny and the whole gang of Looney Tunes to victory over the Al-G’s digitizied champions on the basketball court”

Here are the first photos from the movie thanks to Entertainment Weekly

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Premiere Date

Last year we reported that the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League was finally being shown to the world after a worldwide rally of fans with the #ReleaseTheSynderCut went viral even from the stars of the movie.

We are only a few weeks away from the premiere of this and we were wondering if this would come to Australia as it was told that HBO Max in America was streaming it. HBO Max isnt available here down under, but we now have some good news!

Streamotion who owns the latest streaming service here in Australia known as Binge will be picking up the rights to show this from 18th March 2021. We can see an influx of subscribers to Binge the week of this as they currently offer a 14-day free trial to the service.

Its been a long process to get to this point, but let us know will you be keen to check out the cut of Justice League that its deserves?

Mortal Kombat Official Trailer

2021 is ramping up its movie schedule with some killer releases. We can thank the guys over at HBO Max for this as the movies will debut in cinemas and on the streaming service the same day. First up we have one of the most anicapted movies which is the reboot to the Midway Games fighting game series, Mortal Kombat.

Funny enough, this movie was shot here in Australia. Well actually in South Australia to be exact. The movie was filmed between September to December 2019. The movie was originally slated for a 2020 release, but COVID-19 unforunately put a halt to that.

While this is a directional debut for Simon McQuoid, he has had the pleasure of having James Wan (Aquaman, Furious 7) produce the movie. So by checking out the trailer we can see this movie has no expense spared.

So how do we create a fighting game into a movie? The premise of the movie goes:
“A washed-up mixed martial arts fighter named Cole Young is unaware of his hidden lineage or why he is being hunted down by Sub-Zero of the Lin-Kuei clan of assassins. Concerned for the safety of his family, he seeks out a clique of fighters that were chosen to defend Earthrealm in a high-stakes battle against the forces of Outworld”

mortal kombat

Mortal Kombat is scheduled to be released in cinemas and on the HBO Max streaming service on April 16, 2021.

So “get over here” and let us know what you think about the trailer before we “finish him”

The Kickz Stand’s Hit List #33

“Once a sneakerhead, always a sneakerhead.

I’ve been collecting and shooting even though I was on my hiatus from Instagram.

I just got caught up with family, career and life in general. A couple of months off turned into a couple of years but I started getting a little more time on my hands and decided to get back out there.

A lot has changed and the quality of content out there is so good these days.

The 90s Chicago Bulls…That was my childhood right there. In the context of everything, sports isn’t really that important, but growing up, they really inspired me.

It was a concept I’d wanted to try for a while. But I knew from the start that it had to be paying tribute to MJ AND Scottie somehow. The only issue was that I didn’t have the Uptempos and waited for the retro last year. After that, everything came together pretty quickly, I started getting more into editing last year, though I’m very much still a novice.”

Pokémon x BABY-G BA-110PKC

BABY-G and The Pokémon Company, announced a new addition coming to the BABY-G line of women’s shock-resistant watches, the BA-110PKC, featuring the fan-favourite Pokémon, Pikachu, from the globally popular entertainment franchise.

Last year, to celebrate BABY-G’s 25th year, Casio issued a collaboration model featuring
Pikachu, the 25th Pokémon in the Pokédex. That anniversary model employed a dot-painting style reminiscent of video game art in the 90s, when BABY-G and Pokémon first released, and the Pikachu design elements throughout the whole digital watch were well-received around the world.

This second collaboration is an analog-digital watch with an outdoor theme, representing the active image of the BABY-G brand. The entire BA-110PKC band showcases a camouflage pattern and female Pikachu with a heart-shaped tail. The Pikachu design is infused with subtle details like the silhouette of the pink tail on the strap keeper and the Pikachu image etched on the case back. The hour and minute hands also evoke the face of Pikachu, a playful touch that will delight the wearer whenever they check the time.

This unique model comes in special packaging inspired by the iconic Poké Ball, adding to the unique experience of owning this Pikachu-themed watch.

The global launch of the Pokémon x BABY-G BA-110PKC will be on the end of February or early March 2021.

PORTER x G-SHOCK GM-5600

G-SHOCK introduces an all-new collaboration model with PORTER, a Japanese bag brand, to commemorate the 85th anniversary of fashion company Yoshida & Co. Based on the quintessential G-SHOCK GM-5600, the collaboration model comes with 2 types of bands featuring the PORTER logo – a fabric band made of materials featured extensively in Yoshida & Co. products, and a standard black resin band.

ABOUT YOSHIDA & CO.
Yoshida & Co. owns the brands PORTER and LUGGAGE LABEL. While many manufacturers
abandon Japan and establish production facilities overseas, Yoshida & Co. has been an advocate of maintaining domestic production. Its philosophy and Japan-oriented products helped it gain a high level of popularity over the years.

The case back is highlighted with an orange accent, the signature colour of the PORTER brand bags. On the back of the case, the established year of Yoshida & Co. and the PORTER logo are engraved to emphasize their 85 years of establishment. The PORTER logo will also appear when the EL backlight is lit. Finally, the matte, metal bezel and case with a hairline finish give the watch a military look.

In terms of functions, the watch is equipped with a multi-function alarm with buzzer sound,
stopwatch and countdown timer.

The global launch of the PORTER x G-SHOCK GM-5600 collaboration watch will be from 27 January 2021.

Reko Rennie Custom Basketball Court

Tentative this weekend, Jan 30th 2021, a newly freshly painted basketball court will be unveiled in a Melbourne Location known as “The Underpark“. The visuals portrayed on the court and surroundings are done none other than the street artist Reko Rennie.

Rennie is a recognised interdisiplinary artist who’s visual language is in the form of elemental shapes and graffitti. using distinct imagery that relates to his indigenous Kamilaroi Heritage and culture.

Rennie has been commissioned to create visuals on ‘The Underpark’ outdoor basketball court to excite and bring the crowds from in and out of the city for some hoops.

But unfortunately the head turning artwork will only be active for a limited time only. So head in, take some photos, shoot some buckets and enjoy it while it still lasts.
