STREEThing

Lapsap officially turned 1 last night, and celebrated with the help of Has (Singapore), The Beens (Germany), and two floors of hot and sweaty people. If you’ve been to one of Lapsap’s invite-only parties at Palate Palete, probably the only complaint you would have is the crazy amount of people packed into the venue. This time, the guys managed to fit in around double the amount of human traffic. How? By just letting them pile up on one another, that’s how. Streething wishes the Lapsap crew happy birthday and hopes the movement matures well with age.

Enjoy the pics, and don’t forget there’s more after the jump!

Singaporean streetwear brand Visual Terroist are now having a crazy sale over at their online webstore. Tees have been knocked down half price to USD17, whilst hoodies have been slashed from USD109 to USD35. They ain’t going bust either, just making way for the new season, so get yours while you still can.

Head over to Visual Terrorist to check out the full range.

Black, red and white - for some reason, this colour combination has always been popular. We don’t particularly know why the trio work so well together, yet being long time Jordan heads, we admit to being a bit partial to such colouways. This new Air Max 90 features the aforementioned colours, as well as ostrich skin on the uppers and heaps of mesh for that classic AM90 feel.

Available soon at selected Nike stockists across South East Asia.

Despite the title, Bondage has nothing to do with the infamous fetish and revolves around the strong bond that a group of close-knit individuals share. The 1998 drama is set in Tokyo, during the 90s, and tells a tale of sorrow, murder, loyalty and sacrifices. Protagonist Takaaki Ise hides a dark past, that was brought upon by even darker circumstances, and his past eventually catches up with him. He chooses to sacrifice all to protect the people he loves. Don’t miss this free screening, courtesy of The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur.

Bondage will be screened at 3pm on 2nd August 2008 at Pawagam Mini P. Ramlee, Kompleks Studio Merdeka, FINAS (next to Zoo Negara), Lot 1662, Bt.8, Jalan Hulu Kelang, 68000 Ampang, Selangor; Tel +603 4104 1375.

Our buddies over at Sole Obessesion recently visited the illustrious New Balance factory in Flimby, England, and were afforded the oppurtunity of designing their own 1 of 1 pair of kicks. Since next year will see the spotlight being placed on the 99X series, the boys chose a 991 as a base, and decked it out in similar colours to the original 850 model, which will see a re-release in 2009.

Sole Obession, known for being one of the more ‘discerning’ sneaker movements of the region, don’t take no prisoners with this killer colourway, whilst Flimby, famed for their quality, didn’t fail in putting the pieces together. The guys promise to have an article about their factory visit up soon, so stay tuned to www.soleobssn.blogspot.com for the full flim-flam.

We recently asked the boys at Limited Edt Vault to share with us, in their personal opinion, the three hottest items in-store. Surprisingly, there was still some adidas Consortium range leftover, and we have to agree with the ZX700 ‘mammoth’ boat. But since this episode of Prime Cuts was taken earlier in the month, chances that it would still be there are between slim and none. But, you never know, if could be your lucky day - so phone or headover and demand some mammoth!

Stay tuned for more Prime Cuts reports from around the region.
