Socks That Rock Manila Streets
posted by Karlo Samson
Statement socks are all the rage these days, but that doesn’t come as a surprise. With more people eager and willing to flaunt their personal brand of style, dress codes and traditional fashion fascism be damned, hosiery is a logical subject for play.

Two New Colors for Nike’s Lunarestoa 2 SE
posted by Karlo Samson
I learned a new word today, marl, which the British & World English dictionary defines as, “a mottled yarn of differently coloured threads, or fabric made from this yarn.” It’s this kind of fabric that can be found in Nike’s newest colorways for the Lunarestoa 2 SE.
