STREEThing

The antidote for hype, or the new hype? Vans has seen a sharp rise in popularity within the region lately. The wining formula seems to be a combination of varied designs, affordable prices and unpadded-uppers that are perfect for our sweltering climate. They also happen to pair up nicely with fitted jeans.

Fans will have no doubt come across this huge SK8-Hi chair, made by Coarsetoys, at various official stockists or over the net. The unique piece of furniture can now be purchased at LTD. Having one in your house will show that you’re a certified sneakerhead, saving countless hours of explanation on what you’re into - leaving more time to explain why.

know it nothing exclusively brings all you sunglass fanatics a new wave of Super sunnies to beat that tropical heat with a hard-ass dope stick!
