Chances for electro-heads to experience such a stellar line-up are few and far between; Yeah, Justice is not playing, but thankfully almost everyone else on the roster is. See you all there.

As we continue the reporting of our Nike Beijing trip series. One of the most impressive events and venues was the launch of Chinese Federation Uniforms event held at China’s famed Tai Miao, the Ancestral Temple east of the Forbidden City.
More than 500 invited guests (think brand influencers, celebrities) and media were present to witness Nike President and CEO Mark Parker and 22 Chinese Federations unveiled their uniform collections. Nike worked with Chinese athletes, the Chinese Olympic Committee, and 22 of the 28 sport Federations to complete its most lightweight and innovative performance product while showcasing the unique look of China. The collection ranges from footwear, using lightweight Flywire technology fibers and Lunarlite foam cushioning to Nike Swift performance apparel using recycled polyester.
Freshjive recently landed in Malaysia to a pleasantly warm response; good looking designs that can be worn day-in-day-out combined with sensible pricing has made it somewhat of a hit with those in the know as well as the general public.
The upcoming Summer ‘08 collection, dubbed Fairfax (The famed streetwear mecca of Los Angeles), doesn’t have the numerous fixie references of the current collection, but still maintains the same solid designs ethos. View the preview after the jump.
Freshjive is available at: Push Skate shop, Shah Alam; Sole What?, The Gardens; Zone5 KL, Berjaya Times Square, Malaysia.

BOMB IT, a documentary detailing the history of graffiti, takes viewers on a journey through five continents, a cast of international graffiti writers and guerilla footage of them in action. Director John Reiss traces the controversial art form back to prehistoric times, where man used to draw on walls to express themselves; New York city during the 70s, where the art form exploded; and to the present day, where street artists battle to make their mark on the urban landscape as their predecessors once did.
The myriad of artists - which include favourites such as Zephyr, Os Gemeos, Shepard Fairey and Taki 183 to name but a few - not only provide demonstrations of their work, but interviews that document the varied attitudes and opinions the artists hold regarding certain subjects. Definately worth checking out if you are interested in the culture, or intrigued by the debate between invasion of privacy and freedom of expression.
BOMB IT has already been premiered in America, we do not know if there are plans to bring the film to South East Asia. Stay tuned for more details; in the meantime, head over to the official website to view trailers and further information.
