Salute to Skate Malaysia, Nike Mid-Autumn Festival Pack, Shoes to Combat AIDS and Vans Chimp

First of all, we want to salute people at Skate Malaysia for their effort to collect and donate their used but playable skateboard stuff to Skateistan (Afghanistan skate school). That's not all, from the forum post, it seems they are using their money for the postage fees. Kudos to them. For those of you who are interested to join in and give a hand, why not drop by at

Nike is releasing Mid-Autumn Festival Pack containing a Terminator, Air Max 1 and Blaze for China market only. Nevertheless, we really like the gold color, symbolizes rich and prosperity, which really match the Chinese culture very well.


Colette, GAP and Converse (Red) collaborated to produce a sneaker model which is Chuck Taylor, meant to combat AIDS. 5% of the sale of this shoe model will be channeled to appropriate agencies.


Dave the Chimp will be the first UK artist to collaborate with Vans to produce exclusive pack of stuff consisting of a pair of shoes, skate deck, 2 Vans tees, Dave the Chimp's fanzine and Vanzine.
