Following the launch of first stand-alone retail location of New York City, we are honoured to be given an opportunity to visit the Japan’s NSW Store located at Cat Street, Harajuku Tokyo. This is the first Asian stand alone NSW store which offers exclusive products, an elevated retail experience, and a new “NIKEid Studio” service, which allows consumers to purchase limited release footwear by Nike’s creative partners.

NSW, a pinnacle apparel collection within the Nike Sportswear line, is the apex of what Nike Sportswear represents. The collection is steeped in Nike’s sports heritage and remixed with cutting edge engineering, craftsmanship, and modern design. The complete Nike Sportswear NSW collection, which includes exclusive seasonal Tokyo initiated and designed products, is available at Japan’s NSW Store. This is the only place in Asia where you can get the entire NSW collection.

A new and innovative interpretation of the existing NIKEiD Studio experience, The “NIKEiD Studio” will provide consumer access to exclusive footwear designed by Nike’s long-term creative partners.  This “NIKEiD Studio” project will enable these creative partners to share their designs directly with the consumer.   The “NIKEiD Studio” will release a limited run of released styles starting in Holiday season.

Japan’s Nike Sportswear Store is located at 6-14-5, Jingu-mae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.

The Married to the Mob Dunk Highs have received an extremely positive reaction since being unveiled on the web a few weeks ago, and It’s not difficult to see why. MOB head Leah McSweeney takes her inspiration from Chanel and uses touches of black patent leather and a woven material similar to what can be found on many of their kicks; the results are a very crisp and clean pair or Dunks that bear a touch of high-fashion influence.

The collab is a Tier 0 release and is set to launch this weekend at several spots in America and Europe, fortunately Limited Edt Vault, Singapore, will have some in albeit at a later date. Keep an eye on our Dropzone to know when they’ll be available. Also, check out the MOB blog for daily rants and updates about the brand.

After the successful summer launch of the Nike Sportswear store in New York and the recent opening of the Tokyo NSW shop, Nike has opened up it’s third stand-alone NSW store in the world at Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. To kick things off, Nike held a carnival-esque street party outside the store and invited three artists to create a series of installations titled iconoGRAPHIC.

Japanese photographer Keiichi Nitta showed off the skills he learned over the years as Terry Richardson’s assistant with a four-part series of works featuring four Hong Kong athletes. Fellow Japanese artist Satomi Mizuuchi created some specially stitched windrunners, whilst everyone’s favourite Hong Kong brand Silly Thing reinterpreted the NSW concepts into a animated video.

If you’re in the area do swing by, apart from offering a more complete range, the store has a few seasonal exclusives from the Tokyo branch.

Soon to be launched at Limited Edt is this batch of quality looking mono-colour Nikes. The solid block colour Dunk High Premiums have gained quite a bit of coverage around the net recently, unsurprising being that they’re a collaboration with American streetwear store Dave’s Quality Meat.

The Air Force One Low Supremes aren’t part of the collab, but are just as desirable nonetheless. The canvas material bears a coarse texture, which gives it a rather nice denim-like appearance, whilst the off-white accents and mid-soles combined with the gum outsoles make the kicks look really classy.

Don’t sleep, as all of these kicks are Tier Zero account releases!

The DQM Dunk HIgh Premiums and Air Force One Low Supremes is scheduled to drop on September 27th at Limited Edt stores across Singapore.

Nike Thailand celebrated the closing of the Nike Spotstwear (NSW) pop-up space by throwing a huge party at Club Culture, Bangkok over the last weekend. They brought in DEXPISTOLS, the Japanese electro duo which consist of Daruma and Maar. With their magnificent DJ skills and sometimes comedic showmanship,  the crowd was banging and hanging till the very last closing minute.

We won’t bore you with more words, let the photos do the banging!!

We guess most of you know that Kanye West will be bringing his Glow In The Dark Tour to Singapore this September.  We also guess that if you want to go and haven’t got your tickets yet, then chances of you getting any at this point in time are somewhere in between slim and none. Well fear not, as Limited Edt will be giving away two pairs of tickets - the SGD188 ones no less - in a lucky draw.

To get your name in, you’ll need to spend at least SGD200 on Nike products at any of their outlets from September 1st - September 12th, 2008. It also doesn’t hurt that LE is currently stacked full of hot new Nike releases, and the AM90 Infrared Premiums are also scheduled to launch on the 6th. What more of an excuse do you need to spend?

The draw will be at the Queensway branch on September 13th, 2008, for more details head over to the Limited Edt website.

By today’s standards, the Nike Air Flight Lite is anything but light. The chunky sole and super high top might not cut it on the courts anymore, but the iconic style is something that will always have a place in many a sneakerhead’s wardrobe. Look for these retros to drop later this year, stayed tuned for more information.
