bape sta - update you know we're indifferent about this piece of footwear. however, without any judgement, we give you more colors of the bape sta... buckle up and hold tight - those babies are said to cost around $250. yes, all things bape do have their price. if you can't live without them, though, drop us an email and we'll see what we can do. see: images | yes, i need them | website | stussy.com do you remember a time when stussy had a proper website? we don't either. things have changed and 2002 sees their brand new flash site. only flaw is, stussy.com doesn't sell online. they only show you the ltd editions and custom made items - you still need to travel to any of the stussy capitals of the world to get them - unless the british chapter decides to finally ship outside the uk. see: images | go here: stussy.com |

time capsule sony creative products inc. is responsible for a series of art toys by such famous names as james jarvis, pete fowler and japan's own groovisions. problem is (as always) all products, which are sold through vending machines, are only available in japan - if not sold out already. anyways, the figures are all nice to look at and maybe some of them will surface on ebay. see: juvenile delinquents | more info: timecapsule |

alife - rivington club we know it's hard to get the right kind of trainers these days. your local dealer doesn't carry the styles you like, your friend in tokyo has lost the nerve to run to ueno, everytime you email and you are not sure if it's a good idea to go to nyc. but you should definetly go! as mentioned a couple of weeks ago, nort235 is up and running, as well as alife's rivington club. it doesn't sound like a sneaker shop, it doesn't look like one either. the cigar club atmosphere, however, definetly gives you the feeling that this place is for the true aficionado. check the various nike woven colors, as well as rare adidas originals, nike dunks, and alife's own line called ritefoot. see: ritefoot ad | go to: arc, rivington steet 158, ny ny for images of nort235 and alife's rivington club check lodown #29 | see: cover |
