April 22, 2014 - A number of the Metro's most stylish and influential personalities flocked to Diesel Greenbelt 3 to experience first-hand the splendor of the Italian denim brand's Spring/Summer collection.


The styling event was lead by Preview Magazine's Fashion Director Daryl Chang. She shared with the guest her insights on fashion, a bit of design, and the entire Diesel lifestyle.


To call the event a big success would be a bit of an understatement. #DIESELREBOOT did just what the invite promised; the brand, in some way, was re-introduced to a more current market (through the attendance of the industry's tastemakers). The #DIESELREBOOT Styling Event made such energy around the brand that the buzz will most likely continue until the next season's event.

THE NIKE KOBE 9 EM "PHILIPPINES" | A VISUAL BREAKDOWN

As much as the market and footwear media highlights technology as the main selling driver of a shoe, sometimes there is no better way of communicating its value than sharing its aesthetic conceptual origins.

In the case of the Nike Kobe 9 EM "Philippines", we choose to champion the story behind the colorway. Albeit the shoe in itself is a technological wonder and a performance dream to use on court, the "Philippine" colorway conveys a deeper, more intimate basketball story; one that relays a country's fanatical love for the game.

In this edition of Visual Breakdown, we go deep into the designer's mind - how the inspiration came about, how he combined seemingly random facets of Filipino life and concocted a compelling storyline about the Filipino's passion for Basketball.
