I remember during my secondary school days, there was no hiding from Dr. Martens. Almost everyone who was “in” either had a pair, or they badly wanted one. Suddenly, something as ubiquitous as workboots became a must have fashion item. Then after a while, DMs completely dropped off the radar and kids couldn’t be paid to rock them.

After experiencing some troubles recently, it seems that the Doc is attempting to make a comeback, with a range more suited for the new millenium. Just in at Front Row, SIngapore, are these colourful 1460 8 Eye Boots in patent leather. These boots are made for the ladies, but guys with small feet are welcome to try their luck.

Available now at Front Row, 5 Ann Siang Rd, Singapore.

In our new Prime Cuts category, we ask people working in shops around South East Asia (and sometimes beyond) to highlight some of their favourite items available in their stores. Since we often turn up unexpected, and often unvited, our victims don’t have time to let things stew; the result is quickfire choices that represent what the particular person is feeling at that specific moment in time. Not a quintessential guide/selection by any means, just a look at what people think is hot with no justification needed.

Here we visit Black Chamber, Singapore, one of the region’s largest official stockists of American streetwear, with leading brands such as Undefeated, Alife, DQM, Huf etc under their roof. Nice choices, especially the Undefeated x adidas Top Ten Hi that comes in a box set as desirable as the kicks themselves.

Stay tuned for more store reports from around the region.

Recently, we popped by Ambush, Singapore, and literally ambushed owner Alvin Lim, forcing him to highlight his top three favourite in-store items for the month of June.

Choosing would be easy if you have some standout pieces that you really connect with, but when your store has such a stellar line-up of products as Ambush, narrowing them down to only three is a task in itself. With a gun pointed to his head, the above is what Alvin selected.

Stay tuned for more store reports from around the region.

Limited Edt, Singapore, has just become one of the select group of retailers in the world, and also the first and only in South East Asia, to stock the adidas Consortium range of products.

For those who are not familiar, the Consortium idea first materialized during the 35th anniversary of the Superstar, where a handful of leading stores/brands, such as Union, Undefeated and Neighborhood, were asked to design their own kicks; the result was a series of extremely limited vintage Superstars only to be sold at the participating stores, which in turn created a buzz never seen before for adidas releases. From a one-time-only release, the Consortium name has now evolved similarly into what Tier Zero is to Nike - the most exclusive range adidas produces for retail.

Limited Edt celebrated becoming an official adidas Consortium Door by throwing a party at The Hereen, where local street artist, The Killer Gerbil, put the finishing touches on some work whilst guests where treated with a preview of the upcoming Consortium collection. After that, everyone adjourned upstairs to Limited Edt Vault, where the goods, that included the Force Pack Superstars, went on sale.

Streething would like to congratulate the Limited Edt team for managing to secure the range for our region and making things happen.

Nobody talks much about Converse Thailand “exclusives”, a range of kicks that are made specifically for the Thai market due to the convenience of the factory being located in the country. The result has been heaps of varied and quality releases. Lots of crazy colours, materials as well as collabs with local designers at extremely affordable prices.

The chucks pictured here bear more than a passing resemblance to a much sought after recent release. So is Converse ripping off themselves or are they bringing high-end style to the masses?

Sorry, didn’t hear your answer, too busy licking the buttery leather on the Chuck-high’s. Available at selected Converse stockists in Thailand.

Show support by buying a tee and rocking it with pride, if not we will be forced to unleash Ronnie on all of you. He used to be a drummer in a band, and as you can see from the deranged look in his eyes, the band didn’t get very far. So i wouldn’t upset him any more than he already is.
