Adidas Together with Breathe & Stop Ruled Manila with “Laced Up” Tour 2012

The brand with 3 stripes threw another epic region-wide party with 3 legendary DJs

Heavy Boogie & adidas Originals did it again!

After the wildly successful Breathe & Stop Tour, the first region-wide tour of its calibre, last August 2012, November met 3 more legendary Hip Hop DJs that took down the dance floors across 6 iconic cities in South East Asia.

This dynamic event series continues on in the tradition of the groundbreaking Breathe & Stop events by integrating dance, music & the audience in a celebration of originality & passion.

The “Laced Up” Tour featured 3 of the World’s most critically acclaimed party rockers DJs Apollo (Invisibl Skratch Piklz / Triple Threat Djs / SF), Vinroc (5th Platoon / Triple Threat Djs / SF) & Tony Touch (Rocksteady Crew /NYC) in Singapore last November 15th, Kuala Lumpur 16th,  Saigon 17th, Manila 22nd, Jakarta 23^rd & Bangkok 24^th of November.

Armed & ready with a diverse selection of quality Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, House, Reggae, & everything in between, these are three of the most skilled, well-rounded purveyors of quality music on the planet who have come together for the adidas Originals “Laced Up” Tour.

They amazed audiences with blistering World Champion level technical skills & unparalleled musicality in their first ever tour of Asia together.=

The tour also featured the Breathe & Stop Champion dance crew from each region in an exclusive showcase performance.

For the first time, the Breathe & Stop Cypher One battle witnessed 15 of the best dancers in each city battle it out till one winner reigns supreme demonstrating their flavor, musicality, style, stamina & skillfulness over at least 3 different genres of music.

Along with the Heavy Boogie crew, top local talent from around the region as well as breathtaking live visuals from Scratch Media created a nonstop party rocking extravaganza.

Im so lazy with my posting these days cuz ive been doing some living…

Anyways, a couple of months ago I was in Shanghai and had a day to kill. My boy Leonard out in SF told me to hit up his dude Gary that owned this club called Shelter. Anyways, Gary was kind enough to invite me to his shop called KIN. There was also a restaurant in the back that served up pork in all kind of ways cool patio too featuring artwork. Anyways KIN featured all the cool hipster shit you could possibly want. It kinda reminded me of the Root Down in LA… if you can remember. Oh yeah… turns out Gary is also homies with Mulan from B-Side! Small world

Getting my Visa for mainland in China was such a hassle in the Philippines that I thought HK was going to be similar. It wasnt. I showed up to the Visa office at 10am and was outta there by 10:15. They said come back the next day at 6:30pm and would be ready. So basically, I had 2 hassle free days to wander around the city.

My boy Pro P, was on recovery mode from the weekend and then some, so he was basically passed out the whole day. The homey Adrian back in the Philippines sent me on a shopping mission since he didnt make it out. I checked a bunch of cool as spots; 7 Half Floor, Juice/Clot, Devil NuT, Woodhouse, and I forgot the rest. BTW, the Octopussy card is the shit! Highly recommended to get one if you visit HK alot.

Oh Yeah, shout out to Jeff at Phoenix Plus awesome time and Rex from Wan Chai Computer Center, thanks for the hook ups!

This was a pretty fuckin cool ice cream truck for Starbucks. They had some new flavor, but the line was too long

Paisano’s Pizza next to Wan Chai Computer Center is the bee’s knees! I miss NYC pizza’s

I’m really late on this… but hey… better late then never…

So last week my friend Jenny hit me up to go check out the G-Star Raw launch in Manila. Actually it was at High Street Extension in Fort Bonifacio. I remember encountering G-Star back in the the day about 2001 on my trip to Germany. At first I though it was a line developed by Gang Starr, but it wasn’t boy was I wrong. It was a bunch of douchey dudes wearing the shit and it looked like another Diesel/Von Dutch type line.

But they sure have stepped up their game in Asia. The shit looks way better than their European counterparts. I like the vintage look they are doing, and the ads look pretty cool.. plus the brand ambassador’s here are really cool folks.

I met one of the head dudes from Singapore, he was pretty rad and the Zombettes killed it all night. Sanya was super cool introducing me to everyone which is rad cuz one of the Philippines marketing people blew me off which really didnt surprise me… but I digress… Over all a cool sosyal filled night. Check the shit out

Super Classy… They got they own napkins… Thats a napkin, not a tissue. Get it right…

Thanks for the invite Jenny, good seeing you again… Boom Boom Pow!

Native Tongue and Beat Junkies connect! The homey Shortkut of the legendary Beat Junkies and ISP crew is gonna be rocking somewhere in Manila with  Hip Hop Gods Maseo from the De La and Ali Shaheed from A Tribe Called Quest. Definitely don’t miss this shit! Add the official page for the event https://www.facebook.com/BreatheAndStop

Heavy Boogie productions, in collaboration with Singapore’s Matteblacc collective, will rock Singapore this August with The Breathe and Stop tour, presented by adidas Originals.

For the first time ever, three of Hip Hop’s most influential DJs – Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest/Lucy Pearl), Shortkut (ISP/Beat Junkies/Triple Threat), and Maseo (De La Soul) will bring the house down.

Steve Tirona directed this video for the young homeys Bee Eyes. I dont know where he got the models from but the bunny ears was like a dose of pterodactyl if you know what I mean (prolly not, so whatever). Most of the video is shot in my home town of Los Angeles and the chicks look straight out of an American Apparel shoot.. super boner!

The song has this eerie beach/garage vibe to it, hard to imagine that this band is straight filthy grimey Manila! Anyways the best band in the Philippines has finally released the video, enjoy!

After finally getting some sleep on Sunday I grabbed my skateboard and skated on down to Charriol in GB 4. If you dont know about Charriol  heres a quick excerpt from their Wikipedia page.

“Charriol is a Swiss manufacturer of jewellery, watches, and other accessories. Charriol is one of the largest makers of wristwatches in the world. The company was founded in Geneva by Philippe Charriol, a French entrepreneur. It later relocated its headquarters to Geneva. The company competes with the likes of Rolex, Chopard, Cartier, and David Yurman.”

Anyways, I was talking to their marketing consultant Alex Jentes about wallets one day and he suggested to go with a Charriol cuz they got this unique plum colored leather, well built, and he was gonna hook it up! nuff said… photos below… on a side note… Skateboarding is a crime at Greenbelt 4!

The sales lady takes amazing photos right?? Shirt courtesy of SFOG.
