Nike Liberty X MILKFED Womens Dunk High Premium

Nike has teamed up with Liberty again on another Dunk High, this new release combines a number of different Liberty patterns on the upper of the Dunk High as opposed to the single pattern that we saw on the two pairs released back in April. In addition to using the Liberty fabrics, this colorway was created together with Sofia Coppola’s Japan based MILKFED. The upper uses at least four different fabric patterns from the London based Liberty, and when pieced together it definitely gives the shoe a bolder look. Additionally the shoes feature Nike Zoom Air to give the shoes more cushion and a smoother ride when wearing it. You can pick these up now at BOBOS or wait for them to release at other Nike Sportswear retailers in the upcoming weeks. Also be on the lookout for a Nike x Liberty WMNS Blazer Hi Premium which will be released in the upcoming weeks as well.

Nike Singapore Flagship Store Recap

After visited Nike Singapore at Wisma Atria last weekend, very disappointed for the set up and the goods. Maybe my expectation are too high for this so call 'largest concept store in South East Asia'.

Apparels- Just have few pieces of NSW project items like Boston FZ Hoody & Eugene Track Jacket, no NSW trademark T-shirt at all. Have check with the Nike store staff- Ben (from HK Nike Sportswear Store). Noted that Nike Singapore will not bring in the NSW collections and he had mention that most of the Singaporean are NOT trendy compare with Hong Kong.

*NKFRK~ 'Ha ha... I'm agree with you, Ben!'

Shoes- Only have 2-3 special colorways design for Nike AF1, Dunk or Terminator. I cannot find any exclusive pair of shoes in Nike Singapore. So I still prefer to buy those special edition Nike shoes at Leftfoot & Limited Edition.

About the NikeiD, only customize your own T-shirt but not in shoe. I've customize my own- Nikefreak T-shirt that's the only thing I feel happy with, The staff are so helpful and a lot of customer was custom their own T-shirt.

Customize Information:-

Nike T-shirt - S$27 per pcs (have 8 different colorways)

Nike Graphic - S$12 per design (Nike or Swoosh logo..)

Letter- S$2 per pcs (A-Z)

Number - S$5 per pcs (0-9)

Symbol - S$1 per pcs (!@#$%*?)
