top 20 sneakers of 2012 ( number 2 )
2
nike air force 1.
the dover street market editions in navy blue.
probably the most rare shoe released in 2012.
these were only available at the dover street market in london.
there are supposedly only 25 pairs in the world.
constructed from a waterproof, tearproof and fireproof material and using
the deconstruct version of the air force 1 these are absolutely beautiful.
( the tongue tab shows the number in dover street that dsm is located at )
also i do like a story to go with my shoes and due to these
af-1's i now have three new friends... it's a long story.
stuff
a while ago i thought i'd photograph a load of stuff i'd bought or come across
recently and make lots of blog posts. you know, to pad it out so that i could
reach 1000 posts this year.
but now, i feel pretty confident of hitting 1000 posts in 2012 i think it's best
if i spare you and just lump them all together here.
1
a compass i got in a christmas cracker. it's about the size of a 1p coin.
( coincidentally, 1p is probably how much the compass is worth )
2
hiut denim yearbook.
if you're a fan of japanese selvedge denim being made into really good jeans
by welsh people, then this is for you.
3
some london spray cans, courtesy of my brainwash.
4
an orange coloured head-torch which i bought for the canoeing / camping
trip back in august.
5
some 3-d colour photos of gardens in monaco which i bought because i liked
the packet they came in. great colours, nice typefaces and look at the
bloke sitting there in his really cool chair wearing a stylish suit.
matching tie and socks too. what a chap.
6
some body wash, shampoo and conditioner i brought back from my hotel in new york.
7
some stüssy socks i picked up in new york
8
what ? i love socks.
9
this ticks a lot of boxes for me.
i bought it in new york ( i don't think you can buy it here )
it's hand gel, you know... antibac, hand cleaning stuff.
it's holiday spice flavour ( only in america )
the bottle is made from silicon, it's all squishy.
it has a loop thing so you can hang it from your camera bag.
10
some iron on patches from liberty.
i only wanted the crown really, but the others are not bad too.
i'm seriously thinking about putting them on some old bape t-shirts.
11
and finally, some ( multee ) project stickers which my friend brian sent to me
from cali.

a present from hong kong
a parcel arrived at whitfield towers a couple of weeks ago.
a present from hong kong.
how about those stamps credit ?
have you got them ?
and the reveal
that's right.
orange tom dixon bag
grrr ! this is a late, late post.
as you may know, orange is just about my favourite colour.
ok i don't wear a lot of orange but i do like orange things
( including oranges )
back in september when i was at design junction one afternoon,
i spotted a few people daring orange hi-vis shoulder bags.
to cut a long story short... i wanted one.
many, many thanks to ash because a day or two later, one turned
up at whitfield towers.
here it is
it's in hi-vis orange shiny plastic i guess. oh and it's made by or for tom dixon
( who for some reason i always refer to as my old mate tom dixon )
details
it has a nice external pocket
details
blackberry ?
anyway, the thing is... i like orange. i like the bag
( maybe i'll take it to thailand for poolside / beach ? )
and i'm very grateful to ash for posting it off to me.
that's about it.
oh, i know. if you want one. if you think you can carry off hi-vis orange...

top 20 sneakers of 2012 ( number 3 )
3
nike air force 1.
the collaboration between supreme and nike that released in november.
limited editions, overnight queues and dodgy cash deals in coffee shops.
they released three colourways: black, olive and camo. for me, the camo wins.
they have a nyco upper which is pretty much waterproof.
classic white mid and gum out, subtle supreme box logos on the shoes
and insoles, olive green eyelets and to add my touch, i replaced the olive laces
with a set of orange.
very, very tidy.
hkk
i think my favourite restaurant in london is hkk
i recently had one of the best meals of my life there.
at the end of it ( 15 courses ) the chef came over to present me with a menu
which he then stamped with his signature.
i won't go into one here but if you ever fancy a really special meal...
trust me on this one.
