Japandroid

Yo, has anyone bought from the below website? I'm hearing mixed things, they're Hong Kong based and I know there are a lot of high quality fakes coming out of HK. Spoken with some Nike contacts who aren't entirely convinced. Anyone had first hand experience?

Any suggestions on the most comfy pair of beaters for spending all day walking around in while travelling?

 

Mane, they may be harder to find but i just spent two weeks stomping around Japan in ACG Nike Trainerendors and no shit they were amazing. They held up so well and still look crisp as hell.

Rolling to Osaka soon, what are the good clubs these days? I've been to Owl and Ongem (can't remember spelling) last time. Are the clubs still only open until 1 am?? Any recommendations? Also planning to visit some denim stores probably Samurai and Studio D'

artisan. Any more denim recommendations, thanks In addition, if anyone wants to party i'm down, i'll be ther june 26-Jul 1

 

I hit up Sam & Dave 2 one night and it was bumpin. Didn't really pop off until 2am though - no close time. It's not your typical club tho, more bar/club but still sick.

did u get yr dick wet at least?

 

At least twice in every city son.

Just got home after 3 weeks in Japan, fuck I am depressed as all shit. Thanks to anyone who gave gave me some tips.

Bento box are you still djing in OSK?

Thank you herp and bento. Thinking of hitting both Fri and Sat night. Any night better for either?

right, Onzieme is 11 next to OPA, 11th floor.

Azure is one block south of Triangle Park. on the right as you are walking south.

follow the kuyas to ongem

Thanks son. Just spoke to a girl in Beams and she said the same spot as well as Azure? Can't find shit on Ongem. You know where it is?

Or got a link?

Just arrived in Osaka. Will be here until Monday, anyone know of good denim tailors? Also best clubs for Thu, Fri, Sat nights?

Cancer touches everyone. Devastating news. R.I.P Tito.

Totally agree, but on the bright side, at least the shoes aren't as much of an eyesore as Nike Shox or something.

 

Also - off topic, love your username. Japandroids is (are?) great.

thanks! you know it's a band from Vancouver yeah? Agree about the eye sore comment however they were never on the level of Roshes. They're a nice shoe, but the cws can go horribly wrong.

I recall seeing the Roshes when they were first released and buying a pair. The retailers could not sell their full quota so returned them to Nike. They then ended up at the Factory Outlet stores in the colours that were just re-released and still no one would buy them. Fast forward 2-3 years and every retailer has sold out of a double size run. It's incredible how many people will buy something purely because it's on trend.

The Roshe story is sad. Such a good shoe but the commercialisation of them has absolutely ruined the appeal. Nike have played it perfectly, produce a shoe that appeals to the masses at a low price point = $$$$

recommended clubs in Tokyo? Preferably hip-hop, rnb, rap-esque type places.

anyone know anything about this jacket?:

Never seen them before, don't look like something Nike would release in the current seasons. Ask the dude who posted the photo?

Yo I'm doing a round trip to Japan and HK and plan on doing a lot of shopping. Spending 2.5 weeks in Japan and 4 days in HK in that order. Are there any things I should hold off on buying in Japan and buy in HK instead? I'd like to think I'm price conscious but having not been to either country before I have no idea what would be cheaper and where.

thanks for the recommendation, do you have an actual link or address for them?

 

i guess i am just after some standard cut linen and cotton shirts, that fit me well! as opposed to the skin tight or too long variations that i seem to find at every turn. 

 

try bespoked.com.au, sorry I got the name slightly wrong. there's some cool interactive shit on their website as well.

also could anyone recommend a good place to get shirts tailor made??

 

Richmond is a sweet place, plenty going on there. Depends what type of shirts you're after, for business shirts try Bespoke - good price.

Reading through this thread, it looks like it has died in the ass lately. Need to revive it as I am hitting OSK in a month's time. Best neighbourhoods to stay?

More photos on the site now, looks okay. I know they carry niuhans but dunno what else. I'm more interested in the coffee shop but ãŸã‘ãˆã‡ã‡ã‡ã‡

what's the address, in English...?

DOOM X WALLABEES

If anyone is keen on the MF Doom x Clarks Wallabees, Spares Store on Smith St have 7 pairs they are dropping tomorrow. First in best dressed.

Restock on the black/white flyknit trainer+. They may be past their prime but for those still looking to get a pair this is a much better deal than eBay.

Good spot. Shame I live outside the US and get stitched up every time I try and make a purchase from Nikestore. The first release of the Flyknit Trainers were better, didn't have the cushioning in the heel collar - makes them fit awkward.
