Nike

Wish List:

Nike Sweet Lew. It is said that this is the predecessor of Sweet Classic series. I love the two lines above the sole. For the rest of the lines, I don't really like it because it makes the shoes looks too complex.

Nike Sweet Classic SL White. So far it's the simplest shoe from Nike, but unfortunately it was too simple even for my liking. But then, it's still good. Worth to spend my cash on.

Nike Sweet Classic SL JDsport. I love JD Sport UK seriously. They keep issuing nice shoes. Pure White/Black for the colour. They got a real taste for elegance IMO. This Sweet Classic that they issued is good because it's not as simple as its brother. It has two lines above the sole and BRS logo to add the accent and variation to the shoes. The shoes that I definitely want to get from Nike.

Nike has the least range of shoes that I liked. What's popular from them is their Dunk and SB series which I absolutely detest because of the BIG BIG tounge that they have. It makes the shoes look bulky. Doesn't suit my taste and leg at all.

Asics Onitsuka Tiger

Wish List:

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Yellow. This is a sweet one from Onitsuka lineup. It was used by Uma in Kill Bill.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Copper. Another sweetie form Onitsuka Tiger. Nice color combination. Another good thing is the front part is not suede. Plain white leather is the best.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Black Chameleon. Just another color variation. It's so hard to find the pure white/black so this black chameleon color combo is the closest. Basically what I like about tiger shoes is that they are low and it fits my legs and jeans better.


Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Royal Blue. I tried this shoes once in Vivo's Tangs. I have a mixed feeling about it. In a way, I love its blue colour because it matches blue denims quite well. In another side I dun really like shoes with colors other than black and white. But well, this might be a good color variation in case I'm really desperate about that white/black Onitsuka.


Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 White/Black Special. I found this in a website called sportiela, it's said that its their store special issue. The Onitsuka Tiger that I really really want. Best color combination (or maybe it's just me who loves white/black stuff). Oh, another good thing about Onitsuka Tiger is they have perforation in their inside which is a big help in ventilation department.


Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 White/Black. The regular white/black Onitsuka Tiger. I found this in some Korean webstore. Again, the best color combination. Can't really determine which is the best if compared with the previous special edition one. This one has more whiteness which makes it looks cleaner and the other has black sole which adds more black accent and makes it looks more fierce. But, everytime I looks at the, I start to like this one more. Anyway, I dun mind if I could get my hands on either one of these shoes.

I started my liking Onitsuka Tiger just a while ago. I never know or give a glance to their line up until I saw some people using them. I see their shoes goes well with jeans...maybe because of their low profile, unlike some adidas which has high 'footing'. Only problem with their shoes is the price. They are quite pricy for a regular sneakers (though it's still acceptable for freaker-wannabe like me). I guess it's all because of branding and culture; their mexico has been popular since 1966 or so.

Puma

Wish List:

Puma Speedcat ST. Speedcat is the most streamlined shoes from puma motorsport lineup IMO. Futurecat, Driftcat, and other cats just have more 'ridge' and 'edge'. This puma speedcat ST has black logo and sole to contrast the white base color. Good colour combination.

Puma Speedcat L. Subtle difference from its twin, speedcat ST. The differences being only white front logo and sole instead of black. Not really preferred.



Puma Speedcat SL. Black version of speedcat ST. White logo and golden 'puma' word just to add variation to the sleek black base color. So far I can only find this sneakers in Japan sites.


Puma Speedcat L. Sibling of Speedcat SL. Differences are only black front logo and white puma wording. I like both this color combination and SL's. Can't really say which is better.

If possible I would like to buy both color combination of puma speedcat. White/black ST and black/white SL or L. It's hard to pick between either color combi. since both are just equally good. I start my liking of these slick shoes since I saw a drummer used them. The cam pans on the shoes when he did double bass. Really Cool! Dunno why, I was just like...WOW when I watched it. I decided that this shoes would be great when I do gigs. I suspect due to its streamlined design, it could go well with jeans just like onitsuka tiger shoes. Need to give it a try first though.

Adidas

Wish List:
Adidas Superstar 1. Ah, the all-so-popular superstar. This is the 1st superstar. Too bad I have superstar 2 already bcoz if not, I would buy this one instead. superstar 2 has fatter tounge, one thing that I kind of hate (I dun like Nike SB, dunk, etc. also because of this fat tounge thing). This shoe has thin tounge with gold wordings. Quite nice though I dun like the front part. Not so sleek IMO.


Adidas Stan Smith 2. Stan Smith is the cleaner lineup of Adidas. I think this is the second simplest adidas after gazelle OP white. The usual famous 3-stripes have been removed, only the perforations remain for air-ventilation. I love the black accents they add and the black sole. Another series, stan smith K, has better accent bcoz it's all-black in the inner part of the shoes. I was once in dilemma to pick between this Stan Smith 2 and that Stan Smith K. In the end I found out that the Stan Smith K really is for ladies. Quite shocked bcoz it looks just like this one! It should be a guy's or unisex shoes! Well, the fact makes me happy because I can escape from my dilemma but it also saddens me a bit because I love that all-black inner part :(.

Adidas Tie Break Plus. Tie Break is not my first sneaker (it was Converse All-star or one-star, I forgot) but it is what starts my craze about sneaker. As usual, Tie break series is sleek and simple. What differs my tie break from this one is that front part. Mine has perforation and this one does not. Moreover the front part of this tie break looks more like Chile, Samba, or Italia series of Adidas. Actually no point adding this into my wish list since I have Tie Break already but for collecting purpose, it's a must, hahahah :D.


Adidas Jerez Low 3. This is from Adidas' motorsport line-up. I had a good offer but sadly I was forced to pass because I was late in bidding it. Puma's motorsport lineup is better but this is good for an alternative and little addition in collection.


Adidas Gazelle One Piece White. A masterpiece from Gazelle. Superb whiteness. A black wording in shoe's tounge n heel part, and black sole are the only things to avoid plain whiteness. Just nice :). Sadly this is like EOL already. So hard to find it in Asia. Best I can try is Europe esp. UK. The new one issued is so damn ugly coz it has unclean white color added with stupid perforation. Total eyesore!

Adidas Gazelle. JDsports from UK issue this gazelle. Another great piece from gazelle series. Nice color combination. Simple n Sleek in short. Gazelle shoes is good because their front part is streamlined, unlike those superstars. Superstar's front has sorta kid-shoes feel IMO.

Fashion Stuffs

I used to be so blind and ignorant about fashion. Now that I go to college, I begin to know a bit about them.

Bags:
Want an M or L Crumpler, Timbuk2, Chrome, Manhattan Portage.
Preferred is Timbuk2 since their bag is color-customizable into my liking. Moreover, not many people use them in singapore. Crumpler is the real craze here -_-"


Wallet:
Wanting a BraunBuffel Helden Flap-Up Wallet or MOD Flap-Up Wallet. Quite nice these two wallets since they have coin compartment, lotsa Credit Card slots, and 4 multipurpose pocket. Superb functionality, good class.

Louis Vuitton Taiga Florin is also good. Though it doesn't have as many slots or multipurpose pockets as Braun Buffel one, it has classier looks and it is definitely more prestigious than BB. I love its grainy finish.


Watch:
Currently eyeing for Seiko Watches. Casio is OK but Seiko suits me better. Their Couture series is great. SNP017 is cool. Titanium color with perpetual calendar. Snp007 is also good, silver colour and perpetual calendar. What I can't stand is the price. Their chronograph series would be a good alternative. It is cheaper but looks too complex with all the numbers encircling the watch.

Shoes

Shoes is my latest craze. Love that white/black simple shoes. Hunting for them everywhere and waiting for any lobangs that might appear out of sudden.

Current Brand preference:
Adidas
Puma
Onitsuka Tiger
Nike
Bata (for formal)

Gadgets

Currently have only Ipod Classic 80GB and Nokia 6500 slide black.

Wanting Sony PSP slim/fat Black. A simple PDA for reminder, scheduler, and style of course.
