The Finest Sweatshirt in the World?
I bought me one of these Nike x Loopwheeler AW77 sweatshirts: From the Nike 1948 store in Shoreditch. I’ve been wearing it for 3 days straight. And I can’t take it off. It truly is the finest sweatshirt I’ve ever owned. I don’t normally…

Morris Dancing – Just Do It?
Yesterday my life was changed. I saw street Morris Dancing. Well it was just ordinary Morris Dancing. But in the street. I’m sure there’s room for updating this old fashioned art – perhaps mashing it up with some rude drum and bass styles…
Nike, is it Supersonic?
