The first of many Disney+ Marvel series finally gave us the first look with the official trailer for WandaVision. This series is a spinoff from the Marvel Cinematic Universe centering around Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlett Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany).
While the premise for the show still remains a mystery as both Disney+ & Marvel are keeping the details tight lipped still, after seeing the trailer, you can expect this to have a very retro 50s/60s vibe along with lots of twists.
From all the rumors online, it appears this will take place after the events of Avengers: Endgame and is meant to be setting up the Doctor Strange sequel which is due in 2022.
WandaVision is set to premiere in December 2020 and will be the first series in the Phase Four of the MCU.
Let us know what you think about the trailer. Are you looking forward to this one?

Playstation 5: What you need to know releasing at all major retailers Pre-orders launched already and if you were one of the lucky few to secure your console at launch well done!
Most retailers have only required a $50 deposit minimum some requesting more and up to full upfront payment but still all allocations have seemed to have hit their launch allocation.
Next allocation rumored to be first half of 2021 and seems that allocation will also be short lived. If we bring you back to the PlayStation 4 launch similar hype and frenzy but there was a surprise stock allocation just before the Christmas season so fingers crossed. Besides the little old thing with the global pandemic it may affect production and only time will tell. Keep your fingers, toes and anything you can crossed for those who had missed out there is still some hope.
As always there is a strong launch lineup already setting the scene for what seems to be a undisputed PS exclusive launch titles and beyond. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon: Forbidden West, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Gran Turismo 7, Sackboy: a Big Adventure, Demon Souls and Destruction All-Stars just to name a few.

KARAJISHI
KIRIN
THE DESIGN
A mainstay of the tattoo community and culture, Japanese tattoos are incredibly influential and illustrate a bevy of beautiful and majestic creatures, inspired by the Japanese mythology and iconography.
As such, the idea to share these beautiful stories through an alternative art form was born.
THE KARAJISHI
Often referred to as the “King of Beasts”, Karajishi or “guardian lions” are another popular character from traditional Japanese folklore. Statues of these lion-like mythological creatures have traditionally been placed at the entrances of palaces and temples to chase away evil spirits, hence them being well-known symbols of courage as well as guardianship.
These creatures are a common sight in traditional Japanese tattoos, but contrary to what their name implies, they aren’t really dogs at all. They’re actually descended from Chinese lions, which are known as shi and considered the king of all beasts. Because of lions’ natural instinct to protect their own, they became seen as talismans of protection with the power to ward away demons, hence wealthy families started commissioning statues of them to guard their homes and temples.
THE KIRIN
The Kirin is another chimeric creature of Japanese folklore, and his rare appearance marks the passing of a sagely leader or ruler. Kirins are seen as a good omen, signifying a better tomorrow achievable through the reflective process of mourning. They are traditionally rendered with the body of a deer, head of a dragon, the scales of a fish, hooves of a horse, mane of a lion, the tail of an ox, and a set of – or single horn.
Kirins are considered the unicorns of traditional Japanese tattoos, not only in the sense that they’re rare, but in that they are literally the Eastern cousins of unicorns. These mythological creatures actually predate unicorns by hundreds of years.

Another week, another JD Sports store opening in Australia. These guys continue their retail dominance in Australia with their 12th store in Sydney now open for business with at least another one in Sydney due to open later this month (stay tuned for this one western sydney folk!!)
With the store opening always comes some sort after Jordans that have been released and sold out. With the Wetherill Park opening, they managed to get the Flint 13’s, Indigo 13’s Top 3 5’s and a few others which werent put on the shelf due to limited numbers.
JD Sports are very rapidly expanding around Australia and are becoming the true kings of sneakers in Australia. They were able to keep their stores open during the lockdown of COVID-19 and sales have been strong for them during the past few months.
Here is a look around the store. If you’re in and around the Wetherill Park area, be sure to head down there and check it out. The store itself is a bit more unique then the other ones around Sydney due to the store size. The store is quite shallow but seemed longer due to the space they were able to obtain from Stockland’s Wetherill Park.
Here is the live video from the opening on our Facebook page
Get excited Retro 5 fans, one of the iconic classics is set for a re-release in 2021!
Since its release in 2009, the now considered all-time classic retro pack Air Jordan 5 Raging Bulls has been quiet through the years, maintaining a high chair position in the resell market.
For 2021, the red suede pair from the classic pack is set to make a return to retail sometime around mid 2021, all according to Sneakerfiles. Much like the original release, the Air Jordan 5 Raging Bulls is expected to arrive in OG everything featuring red suede upper with matching red laces and reflective tongues to set it off.
The ‘Red Suede’ Air Jordan 5 originally released part of the Air Jordan 5 ‘Raging Bull’ Pack (Toro Bravo Pack) in 2009. Although the Red pair has received the ‘Raging Bull’ nickname, the other pair is known as 3M. The original release also came with special packaging that resembles a wooden box that has a bulls eye in Red.
It’s also worth noting the shoe will return individually boxed, separate from its bundled partner with 3M iteration throughout its upper. A set release date did not come attached with the leak report but look for the Air Jordan 5 “Raging Bulls” to hit select retailers and Nike.com sometime in Mid 2021
Are you excited to see these back on shelves? Will you cop? Let us know
