TITAN X PROGRESS "SLIM REAPER" CAPSULE COLLECTION

 photo COVER_zps3a4ab95f.jpg

May 7, 2014 (Manila) - To commemorate Kevin Durant’s first ever MVP award, TITAN, the first and only basketball specialty concept store in the country, once again collaborates with Manila-based streetwear clothing brand, PROGRESS, to give you the ‘Slim Reaper’ capsule collection. 

Nicknamed ‘Slim Reaper’ for his thin frame and no remorse, unapologetic attitude on the court, Kevin Durant’s routine performance this season of slaying the opposition by scoring at will, further glued his death-associated moniker.

The three-piece collection includes a basketball jersey, tee and socks decorated with wilted pastel flowers, as well as the reaper himself passing through, mirroring KD’s MVP accomplishment as an inevitable, no hard feelings acceptance to the end. 


The Titan X Progress ‘Slim Reaper’ capsule collection will release at 11AM on Thursday, May 8, 2014 at the Titan Flagship Store, Titan Fort (Two Parkade), Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Limited quantities are available.

#DIESELREBOOT | THE DIESEL SS14 STYLING EVENT

 photo 01COVER_zpsa6ddd12c.jpg

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.

NIKE'S NEW RUNNING TECH & ITS "NATURE AMPLIFIED" DESIGN ETHOS

NIKE, Inc., the world’s leading running brand, today unveiled four new innovations at an event at the company’s global headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. The new products are designed to enhance runners’ natural abilities and were guided by Nike’s "Nature Amplified" design ethos, an approach that is focused on designing for the body in motion and fueled by scientific data and athlete insights. Two new running shoes were introduced  — the Nike Free Flyknit and Nike Free Hyperfeel — along with two new apparel technologies, Aeroloft and Dri-FIT Knit.
“Innovation is not about creating for its own sake, it's about creating something better, designing with a purpose. Running is the heart and soul of Nike and it’s the birthplace of a constant stream of new innovations that will drive the company forward,” said Mark Parker, President & CEO of NIKE, Inc.
 

FOOTWEAR INNOVATIONS
The Nike Free Flyknit is the fusion of two of Nike’s most iconic footwear technologies — the compressive Nike Flyknit upper and the flexible Nike Free outsole. The Nike Free Flyknit upper features zoned performance mapping and a second-skin fit. The shoe provides the benefits of natural motion and a snug, supportive fit in a single shoe.

Designed to feel like an extension of the body by minimizing layers between the foot and the ground, the Nike Free Hyperfeel delivers a natural motion sensation for the runner. A drop-in insole made from Lunarlon foam allows the foot to have direct contact with Lunarlon cushioning. The ultra-thin waffle outsole uses strategically placed waffle pistons for grip and feel, allowing the foot to get closer to the ground.

APPAREL TECHNOLOGIES
Nike Aeroloft technology also debuted in the ultra-light Nike Aeroloft 800 Vest, designed to keep runners warm and comfortable in cooler conditions. Insulating down has been combined with precision ventilation that allows heat to escape the body so athletes stay dry.

Dri-FIT Knit is an ultra-soft, lightweight fabric engineered to help athletes maintain optimal performance temperature in a variety of conditions. The technology employs visibly different knit patterns to aid breathability, while seamless construction ensures a smooth fit free of distraction.
“Nature Amplified means designing for bodies in motion and creating incredible new products that work intuitively with the human body,” said Trevor Edwards, NIKE Brand President. “The footwear and apparel we’ve unveiled today is based on insights from athletes and runners at every level, combined with extensive research in our Sport Research Lab. These innovations are data-driven, but body-led."
