We browsed around and found this quite good looking Puma shoes. From what's written about it, it is for this year Autumn Season and we guess, that's why the color is like that. The shoe is equipped with Gore-Tex to keep your feet dry during the winter months. Cool.


Creative director Olle Hemmendorff of Nike really is the 'it' in creativity. Check out this Air Max 90. It has been turn into a burger with cheese and meat. Seriously, how many people in this world would imagine this. But nevertheless, are you going to eat it, wear it or just simply throw the kick into the dustbin after it has expired? It's up to you.


Mountain Dew collaborated with major brands and names in the world to throw some jaw dropping Mountain Dew. Mark Smith (Jordan Brand), PJ Richardson (Stussy), Mike Sutfin (Star Wars/WoW), Billy the Artist, Troy Denning and Maze (Kid Robot) are among those who participated in this collaboration. Whatever it is, buy Mountain Dew for the bottle, not the liquid inside it folks!

MJ1 will be back as OG in spring 2009 as another Emerica skateboarding spring 2009 line ups perhaps? This shoe is synonym with former Emerica rider Marc Johnson and this will be the exact replica of the original shoe. Can't find good pictures of the shoe but from the advertisement, this shoe looks promising and cool.


Sneaker Freaker has published exclusive interview with Mike Shinoda regarding his DC shoe collaboration and his line ups too! He was interviewed during the launch of the shoe (if we are not mistaken) together with his art exhibition. Seriously you guys must read this article and get mesmerized with Mike Shinoda's artwork! We never thought Mike Shinoda can produce really decent master piece like these! The artworks definitely will capture the eyes of whoever sees it. Kudos to Mike!

Panorama Get Nominated and DVS Skate Shop Competition

Malaysia's first DVD skateboarding video which was released June last year is nominated in the 21^st Malaysian Film Festival under documentary segment. There is no voting by SMS etc, meaning there is nothing much you can do to help actually and all decisions are made by the elected judges. Maybe they want a fair and no corruption competition and so that the not-so-good videos but full of beautiful and handsome people win since there is a huge proportion of the population vote by considering only those attributes (no offence). Whatever it is, congratulations to Skate Malaysia team and we hope by this nomination, this will create a benchmark for our local skateboarding videos as well as recognition for our skateboarding community.

DVS is organizing a skate shop competition in which 100 lucky skate shops are going to participate in this rare event. These 100 skate shops are going to produce their own 5 minutes skate videos featuring their own local talents which are handpicked by themselves and submit it on or before 31st January 2009. After that, DVS juries will decide who will win and the winner (which is a skate shop) will get rare stuff from DVS as well as free publicity in the magazine as well as the internet. Cool right?

We think the recent world petrol price hike has really affected the street community. It seems that nothing much is going on and not so lively as before. We hope this condition will recover as soon as possible.
