MEDICOM X NIKE LUNAR FORCE 1 “BEARBRICK”

Today popular streetwear brand Undefeated released their newsletter which told of the collaboration Medicom and Nike. Alongside a varsity jacket from Nike and a Bearbrick toy from Medicom, the sneakers come in two colorways with matching accessories for both. The simple redesign of the sneakers matches the Bearbrick style and minimalism perfectly, both in the white, blue and orange makeup and the monochromatic black and white. You can pick up a pair of Nike Lunar Force 1 “Bearbrick” sneakers now at UNDFTD in Santa Monica.

MEET RETRO BOBBY: THE TOY COLLECTING BARBER

“Retro Bobby” may have a sweet bowl cut to match his awesome accent, but that’s not where his cartoon-character-like story ends. Bobby Agren is a retro toy and game collector that also gives pretty sweet haircuts. The barber will take your old toys for money, a trade, or a haircut. And like any true collector, he places the prices of his real treasures way above what someone would pay for them until he is done enjoying them himself.

A six-minute video produced by Copenhagers is narrated by Bobby and takes place at the Copenhagen salon called Ruben & Bobby. You will find plenty of old memories on Bobby’s shelves, and even if you don’t, it’s always inspiring to see someone who has a true passion explaining why they love it, no matter what it is.

ORIGINALFAKE X MEDICOM TOY - KAWS PARTNERS With a price remarkably low for a bronze figure of its caliber, this collaboration between OriginalFake and Medicom Toys creates a scene reminiscent of the iconic statue of Walt Disney and his life’s work in front of Disneyland. In classic KAWS style, his famous “Companion” gives a sense of disdain while the artist reaches forth, and provides a sense of evolution from the joy of mass appeal in pop culture. The figure will drop shortly before the “Down Time” Exhibition begins at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art. You can pick up the PARTNERS figure starting Saturday, January 28 for ¥14,490 JPY (approximately $188 USD) at colette.
