I love the sneaker culture. I listen to Hip-Hop. And who doesn't love to travel?

Have you ever put on an entire outfit at home, gone to stand in front of the mirror and realised something is lacking? Then, when you step out of the house with some shoes on, you notice that the ensemble feels complete now. It’s the shoes, man! Here’s how I see it: what you wear on your feet basically makes up more than 50% of your entire outfit. You can be wearing a white tablecloth, but if your shoes look good, you look good. But sneakers don’t come cheap nowadays, with prices easily reaching upwards of S$200. And don’t you…

Trends come and go, and this statement is especially true when it comes to your clothes. Fashionistas around the world are always pushing the boundaries of what it means to be fashionable, and sometimes, they just need to pull something old school out from the archives. Remember how Billabong and Ocean Pacific (OP) were huge in the past? Every kid on the block had a Billabong pencil case and an OP tee; in my school, if you had a Billabong wallet, you were cool. However, those brands faded silently into the background over the years and were never really able…

The good ol’ times we had in primary and secondary school were unforgettable. Those were the days where it was all fun and games, and recess meant a game of basketball or ice-and-water. But during those times, every kid was also trying to be the coolest one. We didn’t want to be known as the nerd, or the kid who didn’t dare to go against certain school rules. So, we all did things to act like we were a bunch of cool and badass teenagers. I’m sure you already have some things in mind, but if you need to refresh…

It’s always wise to take advice from the older generation; they’ve been through more and they can impart some knowledge to you. Parents definitely want to help their kids grow up to be fine ladies and gentlemen.

So to compile a short list of life lessons, here are 10 tips I’ve received from the older generation over the years. Get your notebooks ready if you want to heed some of these advices. 1. Maintain Your Physical Health Health…

I get it, airfares are expensive and not everybody wants to pay for a ticket to Japan to catch the cherry blossoms. But I believe many of us wish to be able to see it at least once in our lifetime. If you’re not too picky and are willing to look past the fact that you’re still in Singapore, then the Sakura Matsuri at Gardens by the Bay Flower Dome will definitely get you screaming “beautiful” in Japanese. The exhibition will be set against an anime-inspired backdrop, mimicking the beauty of Japan; this is all done to make you feel…

Style is always changing, and a big part of fashion is what you wear on your feet. Sneaker culture has changed a lot ever since Converse came up with the Chuck Taylor All-Stars and when Michael Jordan stepped onto the court with the Air Jordan I. Sneaker culture wasn’t mainstream in the past; people probably just bought sneakers off the shelves in stores and wore them with no second thoughts. There were nice sneakers available in the 70s and 80s, but they didn’t cause a shift in the culture, nothing like what happened in 1985. The Shift In 1985, the…

Many of us probably have a hobby, something that keeps us motivated and inspired about life. But it’s not often that someone takes a hobby to the next level, by making a living out of it. Su Zi Sing is a young collector and trader of Chinese antiques. Learning about the history of these antiques has become a way of life for him, and he’s still ever so passionate about it. His story all started when he was just a 14-year-old boy. His dad was in this trade as well, so he was exposed to the rich antiquity of Chinese…

Playing with toy guns was something that always appealed to us boys when we were young. We loved pretending to be badass heroes like in the movies, or just acting like a Power Ranger. So like most boys, Alex loves playing with Nerf blasters. But the difference is that he managed to take it up a notch while he was studying for a Diploma. No, he wasn’t pursuing a Diploma in Nerf gun engineering, but he played with the toy guns with friends and gained enough interest to learn about customising them on YouTube. He thought of the blasters as…

Already itching for a new pair of kicks? This new sneaker collaboration by Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz and Italian fashion house, Versace might just help you put your best foot forward this 2018. Aptly called the Chain Reaction, this sneaker was designed to follow the latest trend on chunky and loud shoes; Balenciaga came out with the Triple S not too long ago, which was also a bulky shoe. So it seems like high-end fashion houses are hopping on the bandwagon, but the Chain Reaction is probably the most fancy-looking one yet. The wild shoe will feature bright animal prints…
