QUINNY BY HENRIK VIBSKOV - £FREE.00

Although this blog is dedicated to everything I buy. How could I resist from posting some images of this amazing Quinny By Henrik Vibskov poncho? The technicolor poncho was in the goody bag and is by far the best thing I have ever received in a... goody bag.

It has to be said, the best things in life are free.

ROB RYAN X IF YOU COULD - £40.00

So, I took delivery of my Rob Ryan screen print on Friday whilst catching up with Alex Bec [one half of the duo behind ifyoucould.co.uk] and they said that the Rob Ryan print has been one of the most successful prints to do date.

I strongly advise you check out ifyoucould.co.uk to see what these guys are up to! It’s a great concept, log-on and show support for the guys.

THE BLACK GHOSTS - £7.99


Theo Keating and Simon Lord are The Black Ghosts. This two-piece band are creating a musical storm. Their self-entitled album is eleven tracks of aural pleasure [if you buy the CD from play.com you get a bonus CD with remixes from the likes of Switch, Fake Blood and The Whip]. I would recommend getting the album from Play.com, the bonus CD is with £7.99 asking price itself.

The album is not strictly electro bangers, excuse the cliché but it ‘takes you on a journey’. "Any Way You Choose To Give It” will have your heading nodding like a dog in bad car insurance advert, then “Don't Cry” will have you reaching for the Kleenex. The artwork by Check Morris ties in perfectly with the music.

The Black Ghosts get a really big thumbs up from me!

JOES[A]FIEND X NIKE ID - £FREE.00

joes[a]fiend got a call from the Design Consultants at Nike iD London about the new Olympic materials pack which has just dropped and were asked to pop into the London studio and make a pair of trainers and t-shirt. With an opportunity like this we couldn’t say no!

We played it safe and went for a pair of high-top Dunk’s in the joes[a]fiend corporate colours – red, white and black, although the new Olympic gold turned us into magpies! We are expecting delivery within the month, when we get them you’ll be seeing them first.

STAPLE X NEW BALANCE = £68.50



This inaugural post marks the start of the documentation of all objects I purchase and deem worthy of this blog.

What better way to start than with a pair of the Jeff Staple ‘Pigeon’ x New Balance 575, of which only eight hundred have been produced. All sneaker-heads will know the hype and seismic shift that occurred when Jeff dropped the Nike SB Pigeon. The game changed forever, and this being the second carnation of the Pigeon design, I knew I had to have a pair. They’re a size 10.5, which is a little big for me – so should I sell them on eBay and cash in? Or do I just keep them for pure aesthetic indulgence…
