THE BLACK SENSE MARKET x MEDICOM TOY - 200% SILVER BE@BRICK
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Japanese men’s fashion magazine SENSE, they have launched THE BLACK SENSE MARKET that will release limited items with many brands seen and featured by SENSE over the years. The theme color of SENSE is black and all items will be based on black colors.
Though that seemed to be a little contradiction to the main press statement as the BE@BRICK that they have produced with MEDICOM TOY is indeed silver and not black. However that little contradiction can be soon forgiven as the chrome finishing on the metal body is nothing but spectacular. It is a good size at 200% and carefully packaged in black box.
Following a small launch during the Vogue Nippon x COMME des GARCONS Magazine Alive Store opening, visvim announce a more formal roll-out of their Beuys Trekker SF-Folk sneakers.

A release is set for tomorrow, October 28th at select F.I.L flagship locations.

Other than skanky costumes for girls, and an obvious indication of the iconic figure of the year (Joker last year, and we predict the King of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson, this year), sugar is probably the most important player of the October 31st merriment.

ILoveDust x Tokyo Fixed Gear - Bespoke Track Bike
In part to highlight the soon-to-be-open Tokyo Fixed Gear shop in London, the first such retail point for the UK-base bike customizer, design outfit ILoveDust was asked to create a bespoke track bike. Working along side with technicians from Tokyo Fixed Gear, ILoveDust selected the Figmo Stealth aluminum frame as the project’s “canvas”. Originally designed for pro-cyclist Louis Garneau, the Figmo Stealth was then topped out with the latest peripherals. The colorful pink-orange wrap around graphics by ILoveDust served a perfect juxtaposition with the all-black wheels, handle bar, seat post, gear, and pedals. The bike is uniquely its own among its peers yet without sacrificing on performance. The ILoveDust x Tokyo Fixed Gear - Bespoke Track Bike will be on display in the soon-to-be-open Tokyo Fixed Gear shop in London.
Cooper Bikes - Single Speed/Fixed Gear Bicycles

On the other hand the T200 series consists of Championship 50 and Reims that takes a more classic silhouette with drop bars, threaded stems and flat rims. All of the bicycles come with leather Brooks saddles and flip flop hubs that can interchange between fixed gear and single speed as well as front and rear brakes.
