If there’s a movie that deserves a ton more toys, it’s definitely Coraline. I mean, the whole freakin’ movie uses toys for actors – but right now, we’re limited to some PVC sets and fashion dolls from Dark Horse, and some exceptionally irrelevant toys from the Hardee’s fast food chain. Still, never one to miss [...]

We’ve seen Qees take the form of humans like Frank Kozik, MCA, Voltaire and even Raymond Choy himself. Now, with the friendly support of Toy2R, designer Dragon Wang (ZJ DESIGN) has unveiled two 8-inch custom-made Qees: “Mark & Tinker in Beijing.” Mark and Tinker, need no introduction to Nike fans. For the rest of us: [...]

Damn. I was feeling the installation of the Michael Lau x Nike Crazy Force 1, more than the figure or the sneaker when I wrote about the black and white version last week. Now Lau’s gotta go and drop 25 variants of the 6-inch Crazy Michael figure with different facial colors all signed with crazy [...]

Hats off to Kix-Files for a ton of clear, artistic (and watermark-free!) images of Michael Lau’s latest sneaker/figure foray. Sunny posted some puzzle pieces about the figure here, but now, as David Duchovny is probably sick of saying: the truth is out there. I’m not really a sneaker junkie, so pilfered pics are almost exclusively [...]

Image makers, who are better known in toy circles than at the Foot Locker, are making very cushy bed fellows with big athletic companies. The other day we posted about the Le Merde Nike Wind Breaker, Jeremyville did a special shoe with Converse and now the one, the only, the legendary Michael Lau is getting sporty…again. Toward the [...]

Last week I wrote about the big Nike Sportswear Store launch that took place in Mexico City, Mexico where the new clothing hot spot celebrated with art from Joe Ledbetter, Jason Maloney, Jesse Reno, Bigfoot, Carlos Ramos, Tixinda, Yurievi (Popwhore) and 123Klan. Well, that wasn’t the only South American celebration of the Nike Sportwear line [...]

Hot on the heels of the Nike x Jon Burgerman sneakers are these Nike Air Force 1 kicks by Kaws. All we’ve got are pictures from Kaws’ blog for the time being. But from the photos, you can gauge that these are Nike Air Force 1 Low Supremes in black nubuck with a yellow/green [...]

Do you live in the US and often get the feeling that much, much cooler things are happening overseas in basically every geographical and cultural direction? Yeah, sometimes. Exhibit A: These Nike “Magnificent 7″ sneakers (aka “trainers,” “tennis shoes,” and “kicks”) doodled upon by Jon Burgerman were only available in Europe. I follow Jon’s [...]

Via CrazyToyz and every sneakerphile site on the Internet (ie this one): Godfather of urban vinyl, Michael Lau, was commissioned by Nike to produce a special sneaker specifically designed for the China Federation BMX team. Looking like a Blazer High with a smoothed mid sole, these shoes definitely stay true to China with the [...]

His characters, The Maniacs, are drawn from his daily experiences, but he renders them more absurd by exaggerating excesses like power, wealth and celebrity. So it’s fitting that SKWAK has partnered with Nike to make a T-shirt for charity. Proceeds from the “I Love [...]
