Fixed Gear Bike

These days, you could see increasing number of fixed gear bikes (fixie) on the street of Seoul. This bike was one of the progressive bike for completion of Today's bicycle. However, messengers in Today's urban cities still ride fixie for their convenience. And, with Fixie's cool features such as color mix-matching and "no brake", people in the global street scenes are becoming crazy about this bike during last couple of years ago.
Also, there is fixie riders' crew, called "LICENSE", in Seoul. I joined their riding last week. We hung out, ate, and kept on riding all around the city.

KIKS TYO

I received a parcel from KIKS TYO (which is a shoe boutique in Tokyo and getting their name out to the sneaker headz community globally these days) on the other day. Also, they have a good connection with New Balance Japan and did a few collaboration recently. Albert from FATLACE connected me with KIKS packages. Thanks for the T SHIRT and HOSHINO materials, ALBERT!!

Hong Kong

Couple of days ago, I went to HK for Asian Pacific regional meeting for New Balance. During first 3 days, the schedule was very tight that I was almost exhausted. On the last day in Hong Kong, I met up with Perry who owns his own street Clothing label, called We Are Gangs, and designs for couple of Watch Company.
Perry showed me what's going on in HK's street scene. The weather was already Spring there and loved globalized energetic atmosphere.

JNJ Crew Exhibition

Couple of days ago, Hwang from Nike Korea invited me to the JNJ Crew's art works. Nike sponsored this event and was held at the Sang Sang Ma Dang (art gallery and photo studio). So I and Ki-Seung checked out what's going on and had couple of pints of beer.

Hanging Out

During last month, Rickey (a.k.a. Mr. Kim) came here in Seoul from LA. He used to work for Hudson Jean and Riott as a Creative Director. Now, he opened up the brand consulting company in LA, and his work is getting remarkable notice.
Took him to the couple of places that I like in Seoul.
