FOOTURAMA SWAPMEET.

This Sunday, now a trilogy...

SUMMER KICKS.

IN 707 & 707ANNEX NOW.


The all-time classic NIKE Air Jordan III. All White. Pure Money. Rp. 1.299.000.

As sold at Colette and other elite stores worldwide. Although... as has been pointed out, Footlocker used their power as a premium Nike account to get hold of it in the US... Anyway, gotta get out of that 'hypebeast' mentality - doesn't change the fact that it's one of the best Jordans in a while, which is why all the major fashion stores wanted to carry it (and Nike WAS pretty picky about who they selected).

For us, we like the subtle attention to detail, and the fact that it's a nicely understated classic that goes with shorts, with denim or even with a suit... Sometimes you want to go the Visvim route and just keep it simple...

A 707 / Nike exclusive. It will NOT be officially released in any other stores in Indonesia. Limited quantities available now...

NIKE x JAPAN.

Here at 707 we're suckers for anything related to Japan (being half-Japanese might have something to do with it) so it's great to see that Nike's into celebrating Japanese culture these days... Just arrived in store; the Airmax 360 from the Koinoburi Pack. The design reflects the fish-shaped kites called Koinoburi (Koi means carp) flown every year in Japan to celebrate their children's day holiday.

The top of the Airmax is all in reflective 3M with a graphic fish-scale print (repeated on the insole) with purple and blue accents, and a subtle irridescent black (changes colour at different angles) around the edge... Exclusive to 707 and 707ANNEX in Indonesia Rp. 1.799.000, stocks limited...


Also in, the special edition 10AC Nike Free 5.0. Designed as part of a martial art collection for MMA fighter Caol Uno, it has an all-over semi-gloss white finish and subtle detailing... Again exclusive to 707 and 707ANNEX... (thanks to FRESHNESS for images)

Next to drop will be the Kakigori (shaved ice) pack, named after a popular summer ice-dessert in Japan - we should have the Airmax 1 and Court Force... Images soon..

GOING PUBLIC.

This Saturday at PUBLIC. Come show off your kicks to others who understand your addiction. Guests kicks will be projected on the walls, so better bring your A-game... 707 crew will be displaying some of their collections.

FEELING LUCKY.

It's not often that ADIDAS puts out a crazy special edition like this, and for those looking for more luck on the court these are the shoes for you...

As worn by Gil on court recently...

ADIDAS has produced very special editions of four of its signature basketball shoes with the help of cult Los Angeles designer Rolland Berry. All the designs have a Vegas theme, some with images of thousand-dollar bills, others with graphics from cards or roulette wheels.

Only 1500 of each produced, and 707 is the only place in Indonesia where you can buy them... These will be in 707ANNEX from this weekend (and will be on display at the sneaker event at PUBLIC on Saturday). More photos to come...

EVEN MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE.

Continuing the Transformers theme from our earlier post, it seems that Nike and Tomy are also jumping on the Optimus Prime bandwagon. They've jointly created a new Transformer character called 'Convoy' whose amazing robot ability is to turn into (or from) a Nike Free 7.0. Not a pair of course, just one. Actually just the left one. Brilliant.

Now we get what's fun about a toy robot that turns into a tank (Bludgeon) or a jet fighter (Jetfire), but are still sort of confused about why a kid would want to play with a plastic Nike Free... (Unless of course they're playing the classic playground game 'Look, I'm Holding a Shoe'.)

OLD LOVE, NEW LOVE.

The amazing Air Jordan I "Beginning Moments" double pack just released in most regions this week and has been selling out in record time (already hitting US$375 for some sizes at Flight Club). Love the colourways, and the gum sole on the yellow pair is incredible. Just thought we'd mention it. May be worth keeping an eye on this blog...

THANKS.

Many, many thanks to D. at Nike Singapore and the elegant Ms. P in Indo for these latest gifts... Both are premium models specially released for the AF1 25th anniversary. The mid-grey ones are super-clean and one of the best AF1 colourways we've ever seen. The dark grey and red are the 'Moses Malone' version taken from the 'Original Six' series. This series is in honour of the six players in the dream team that Nike put together to promote the Air Force 1 when originally released.

The 'Original Six' are now available at the Nike Members Only store and soon at 707ANNEX.

The Original Six

AF1 SINGAPORE.

To celebrate the AF1 25th anniversary, Nike recently set up a special temporary exhibition space at Clarke Quay in Singapore.

check the AF1 wallpaper

In addition to a large selection of classic special editions, they had pairs of the 'handmade in Italy' Masterpieces on show. Quality of these is incredible, blowing away anything the Adidas 35th anniversary's and anything made by Nike previously. Amazing attention to detail... until you check the packaging. US$2000 shoes, $2 box. (By the way, if you've got cash burning a hole in your pocket and want a pair, give us a shout...)





Thanks to Dennis for the private tour. And the gift... Lots more photos of the Masterpieces and other kicks on display will be up at FOOTURAMA later.

UNDEFEATED VEGAS.

Came across this while walking around in Vegas. Considering it was already the end of December the store is a bit behind schedule, or maybe the store is sooo super exclusive that they have nothing to sell and never unlock the door...

Rumors are that it's opening soon - looks like UNDEFEATED's unstoppable expansion continues...

2007. YEAR OF THE... AIR FORCE ONE.

the AF1 25th anniversary shopping bag

Nothing better than getting back from a trip to find a gift from NIKE waiting for you...

As any sneakerhead knows, 2007 is the 25th anniversary of the iconic Air Force One, a shoe that still moves millions of pairs every year. This is even more amazing considering that Nike refuses to do any advertising for it... Anyway, to commemorate this milestone, this year there are going to be a ton of special editions coming out, and I've got to thank the marvelous Miss P. and Nike for hooking me up with one of the first... Keep your eyes on 707ANNEX for lots of future exclusives...

check the 'ghost' image in the dots and embossed tissue

Supposedly there are only 10 pairs of these AF1 Supremes (Tier 0) in Southeast Asia (you rocking yours yet Mark?), and they're "born of the same DNA as the HTM AF1's of the past" - to quote the accompanying letter (not sure if these are HTM's or not...). Attention to detail is superb, check the 1982 embossing on the box, the embossing on the packing tissue, the lace tips, and the premium leather (it's like buttah)... Damn.

These will be on display in 707ANNEX next week... after they've spent some time on my feet.

"In 2007, Nike is celebrating the 25th year anniversary of the Air Force 1 in a variety of ways. One such way is to convey our sincere appreciation for your dedicated passion and ardent support for the Air Force 1 all these years.
At Nike, our quest to make products better never ends. With this in mind, the 25th year celebration of the AF1 was inspired by a single goal: to honor the brand's innovative past by taking into account the current needs of the athlete and improving and innovating on the product based on this insight.
Just as craftsmanship breeds authenticity, love leads to respect. A respect for the communities that have uplifted the Air Force 1.
Nike is honored to share this moment with you. Just as you have shown your love and understanding for this shoe, we would like you to continue the journey with us and experience the Air Force 1 like no other.
We ask you to join us in celebration and hope you enjoy this experience. One love."

WE ARE ONE!

After a successful first outing, the FOOTURAMA swapmeet returns, bigger and better. We're happy to be involved again, drop by and check our stand. We'll be showing off some of the latest exclusives from 707ANNEX...

NIKE FREE x ATMOS.

The Nike Free is not only a future classic (in our opinion) but also the most crazy comfortable sneaker we've ever worn. This collab between Nike and store/brand Atmos uses a unique 3M upper that reflects a snakeskin pattern under bright lighting, and takes the whole shebang one step further...

In 707ANNEX now.

WE HAVE A WINNER.

Everyone who bought a 707 x Darbotz special SBTG T-shirt on launch day was entered into a competition to win a free pair of Nike SBTG Dunk SB's...

Together with JUICE we've chosen a winner. Who is it? Check the new issue of JUICE... We'll publish the winner on the blog next week...

NIKE. ONE TIME ONLY.

Airmax 360 with polka dots by Hiroshi Fujiwara

This incredible range of very limited edition shoes from NIKE will never be released again. For the first (and last time), Nike has taken the sole from their current top running shoe, the AIRMAX 360, and attached it to three classic AIRMAX's from the past. We have two ranges. The classic range attaches the 360 sole to the original colourways of the AIRMAX 90, AIRMAX 95, AIRMAX 97 and the original 360. The clerks range uses the colourways (and materials) from the popular special edition clerks pack of shoes released recently. Both ranges have been selling out immediately everywhere they drop, and are already going for premiums on ebay. We start selling when we open at 11am on Saturday, November 18th.

These are only released in two stores in Southeast Asia. Stocks are extremely limited. Official Nike retail price is 1,799,000 Rp.
