Nice gesture for Vans to do a shoe with Robert Crumb, considered the 'godfather of underground comics'. The dude's dedicated and crazy with his pen. Vans made two shoes; Mr. Natural and Fritz the Cat. If you have a chance, check out the documentary "Crumb". Insane

Stumbled onto this beautiful clip of "WHY-Wally Hermes Yacht" on HF's blog. So peaceful and so insane.

My last post was pretty dark, but in keeping with the festive spirit check out what Nike brought to the table...Mid Autumn Festival inspired sneakers. The colors are inspired by the dark red and gold packaging from mooncakes. There are also other details on the shoes that pertain to the Festival. Nice one. Enjoy the holidays everyone!

This is an opinion piece from Thailand's BK Magazine about Mooncakes. In my opinion it could be seen as offensive to Chinese, the long standing tradition of Mid-Autumn Festival and all the people that do like mooncakes. Would this type of article be accepted and published by HK Magazine (same company)? For many foreigners, a mooncake is just a mooncake. But to Chinese it's a tradition. Glachant (the managing editor) writes like a twelve-year old. His mind seems to be at that stage aswell. I'm gonna try and eat a few more today :)
"Mooncake Lab - Attack of the Baked Goods from Outer Space"
by Gregoire Glachant
We don’t like mooncakes at BK. In the past, we’ve used them as doorstops, penholders even as weapons of self-defense. But, just like herpes, you can count on mooncakes to come back, no matter what you throw at them or who you throw them at. This year, we conducted a scientific experiment, leaving a mooncake on our office’s windowsill. It sat there for exactly 10 days. It went through at least two heavy storms and daily showers. The ants wouldn’t touch it until day 7. The birds stopped coming—they might never return. The mooncake’s only visible transformation was a growing ring of oil at its base. On day 10, when we cut it open, we found the insides appeared identical to those of a fresh mooncake. If we could bear eating it, we bet it would pretty much taste the same. Sorry but that’s just not right. These things are like the cockroaches of food: if there were a nuclear holocaust, the last thing left to eat wouldn’t be canned sardines, it would be mooncakes.
