Scrap whatever early evening plans you had if you’re in Auckland City tonight, and be on High St from 6pm onwards. ABC will not only be launching their collab sneaker with Lakai, the skate team will be shutting shit down with a demo from them and some of Japan’s best skaters in the Expertise team. 41 will be coming out of hiding to spin, and I’ll be there to pull out some exclusives from my album. It’s gonna be mean, see you’s there.
Heads up if you didn’t know this was going down in Auckland this Saturday. Perfect opportunity for us more financially challenged folk to beef up the wardrobe with some heat. See you’s fullas there.
Sneaker collector or not, you cannot deny that the Air Jordan is one of the most recognised shoes worldwide.

Incredible to think that a lawnmower inspired one of the iconic pairs in the series. Phil, this is for you.

It’s going to go down @ The Met Bar, starting at 11PM on the corner of Shortland & High St right in the heart of Auckland city. Featuring a big performance by David Dallas (Con Psy) of Frontline, supported by Louie Knuxx, and with DJs Manchoo, Mouli, and Penfold spinning the wheels of steel all night long in the biggest sneaker party/event of the year.
We might have some last-minute additions to the line-up so stay updated here…
Remember, it’s FREE ENTRY with a Sneaker Pimps pass, otherwise $10 at the door if you can’t make it to the show earlier on at Qubic.
As for dress code - wear your best sneakers. Yes, caps are allowed. Nuff said.
Sneaker Pimps is the largest touring sneaker show in the world and is a must for die-hard sneaker heads. Legendary NYC graffiti artist Futura will also be heading to NZ for the first time as part of the Sneaker Pimps show. For more information on the Sneaker Pimps event check out Sole Jam!
At the time of writing, Giants slugger Barry Bonds was 2 homers shy of Hank Aaron’s all-time record of 755. There’s no doubt he’s gonna pass the mark but many will (and already are) questioning the legitimacy of him breaking the record. In light of all this Upper Playground have designed a tee that sums it all up real nice:
Props to Slam Hype, the spot where I first spied the t-shirt.
The Simpsons movie hype continues to reach fever pitch, even the kick game ain’t exempt, and rightfully so. Read more at slamXhype
