paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from woodrags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.

king kenka hq has been busily slicing, dicing and constructing this paper shoe sculpture. it is the result of an addiction to anything ghostly and organic, clean crisp sheets of whiter than white paper are no exception. there are small resemblances of snakeskin or the scales of a fish.

// rhebok // reebok //


reebok - the name comes from the afrikaans spelling of rhebok, a type of african antelope or gazelle.

i can imagine these original reebok exofit hi tops would have been worn for many sweat filled aerobics classes in the early 1980's. back in the day, they would have been sported with a skin tight fluorescent g-string leotard and sweatbands galore. think jane fonda in her workout videos and olivia newton john's physical videoclip......so bad, it's good.

musta + valkoinen = voittaja




"i took my baby 
on a saturday bang 
boy, is that girl with you? 
yes we're one and the same 

now I believe in miracles 
and a miracle 
has happened tonight 

but, if 
you're thinkin' about my baby 
it don't matter if you're 
black or white" 
 

these alpha60 leather ankle boots are one part of the seven new winter styles available from this exquisite melbourne brand. in my eyes, alpha60 is the epitome of australian style. everything is produced with such elegance and precision, and these new line of winter warming feet coverings are no exception.
 
hmm.....which style am i going to invest in..? perhaps all seven.
