Over the weekend, the Bangsar Telawi area in Kuala Lumpur saw the biggest streetwear store opening that the region has ever witnessed. Hundreds of die-hard Clot, Edison Chen and Sam Lee fans waited for hours under the boiling mid-day sun just to catch a glimpse of their idols, whilst the media  came out in full force to join in the frenzy.

It seems that everyone wanted a bit of Juice, and here we are with a few glassfuls for y’all to knock back. We were fortunate enough to be able to document the whole occasion, from the media preview session to the opening lion dance ceremony and all the way up until Sam switched into DJ Becareful mode to rock the afterparty at Zouk Club KL.

So without further ado, we bring you a pictorial recap of Juice KL’s opening day - much more pics after the jump!

Juice KL is located at No. 46 & 46-1 Jalan Telawi 5, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur; brands available include Clot, Head Porter, Head Porter Plus, Original Fake, Medicom Toy, Nike and adidas.

Here’s a quick glance at some of the Nikes exclusives set to drop real soon at Limited Edt. One of the key items of the coming Fall/Holiday season is the classic Air Max 1 model, so to remind peeps of it’s legacy, the OG blue and red colourways are set to drop as a limited quickstrike release.

In more retro goodness, they’ll also be releasing the Air Max 180 in the classic ultramarine colourway, so if you missed the first retro a few years back, then you’d better not  sleep this time around.

On the Jordan side of things, there’ll be the next “Defining Moment Pack” release, the Jordan 1 ” Bulls Vs Celtics” pack which pays tribute to the classic 1986 faceoff between the two teams. Yes, the Bulls colourway is a retro of the OG red/black, and if that isn’t enough there’ll be a retro of the white/metallic red Jordan 1 as part of the “Do The Right Thing” pack.

The mind (and the wallet) boggles - so many retros in so little time …

All kicks pictured here will be available  from early July ‘09 at Limited Edt stores; keep an eye on our Dropzone for the exact release date.
