JANUARY:

adidas x Star Wars

It was a treat to see the Three Stripes do something interesting on the lifestyle front. From bringing in Storm Troopers to launch the line to actually bringing in the goods (Yodas, SL72s, Superskate Mids to name a few), this was the best way to start the year. To see more, check the actual post here.

Zoom Kobe V

I hate to say it, but the man can sell shoes. With the success of the IV, people can’t wait to cop the Vs after seeing Mamba wore them on Christmas Day ’09. Release date got moved so many times but hey, they dropped. 2010 saw so many colorways of the V drop locally and almost everyone got theirs. Heads were happy, some rekindled their love with sneakers because of the V. All I can say is nice. Check out the Official Release info here from Januar 2010.

Nike Dunk High Premium, DJ Series “DJ AM”

I’ve said time and time again that I started shunning Dunks. But Adam was a sick DJ. Adam was a sneakerhead. Adam was a major player in the game. Having his collab with NSW drop here was simply amazing. Hideout had a field day with these. Shoe sold out in minutes. There was a raffle for the lucky ones. I, on the other hand, stayed home. Read more about DJ AMs release here.

FEBRUARY:

They Legendary

weLegendary’s been around for over 2 years and loyal patrons from up north and way down south would take the trip either on a Friday, Saturday, or sometimes midday releases for the heat they brought in. From PRods to Omars to Dunks and the infamous Janoskis, weLegendary took care of their peoples. Monthly drops (sometimes biweekly) got people scrambling for them, it was just a great way to meet fellow sneakerheads whenever wL had a drop. By November, the weLegendary crew opened their third store over at RONAC Art Center. Truly, having weLegendary on our shores made our sneaker obsession legendary.

MJ 25th Anniversary Releases

February’s all about MJ. From the release of the not so popular AJ 2010 to the Silver Anniversary joints, Nike and Jordan Brand celebrated Michael with a boatload of kicks throughout the year. Local sneakerheads had their fair share of Js- VIs (Motorsports, Oreos, Black/Reds, Sakuragis and Infrareds), Anniversarys, XIIIs (white/red, flint, altitude), and the Cool Greys to name a few. February 17 is Michael’s Birthday and the whole world celebrated the man, even here in the Philippines.

RIP- Alexander McQueen

The fashion industry lost another one in February. A few months after his death, Puma made it big by bringing in Black Station, the cat’s high end designer collection. Alexander McQueen, you will be missed.

SBTG x SOLE MOVEMENT

Ok, so I was the only one who benefited from this. But it was something that had to be known. World-Famous SBTG did a 1 of 1 for me and I loved it. Usually he would ask you what you want on your sneaker but for this one, I asked him to go organic. He was so happy and came up with this. Mark Ong, aka SBTG dropped by Manila in March for his Circus of Mutants line with DC Shoe. The man’s awesome, and so is this shoe. If you guys want something real bad, go for it. You won’t regret it. Even if they’re Obsidian Janoskis with brown laces.

MARCH:

Passing the Peace- Bunker’s 2nd Anniversary

Bunker celebrated their 2nd year and it was fun. It was a cool Sunday afternoon and friends from all around celebrated with Borgy and co. Bunker eventually moved to RONAC by the 3rd quarter of the year. Being one of the upstarts in the game, we saw a couple more stores pop up in 2010. Expect the scene to grow some more in 2011.

Reebok ZIGTECH

Reebok got back in the game with the global launch of the Zigtech. I was able to get a pair months in advance and was impressed. Funky as hell, the new technology from Reebok caught the eyes of a lot of heads and over the course of 2010,  we would see the Zig run all over town. Thank God the Zig revived the ‘Bok.

Nike Trainer SC 2010- Manny Pacquiao

March was MP month and we were all met with a new MP signature shoe. The Trainer SC 2010 was Manny’s 4th shoe in 2 years and was the shoe he used leading up to the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. Unlike the previous 3 releases, this one was a GR. After all, Manny is the People’s Champion, and the people needed their piece of MP.

APRIL:

mi adidas

With April being more of a quiet month. It was all about POPs for Basketball and summer kicks. But if you wanted extra flavor, you could make your own via mi adidas. I was able to make my own and along with other brand ambassadors. We all had a crack at making our own special pair from the Three Stripes.

Sample Sales

For summer kicks and limited releases, the local scene had their share via sample sales from the brands. Vans did a couple throughout the year via Trilogy and heads were happy. Bad thing about it? You had to be a sample size (9 for most brands) to fit the goods. Sucks, but hey, at least the practice of having sample sales are now upon us.

MAY:

adidas Originals Street Party

adidas had their Street Party in May and it was a good one. From all their Originals collection embodied in one street party, we had fun that weekend right before election day. In 2010, adidas Originals brought in a lot of kick ass collections to our shores- Star Wars, OT Tech, ObyO, Ransom, Fafi, Vespa, and Porsche Design to name a few. Fail? They didn’t bring the Mega Collection. Otherwise, adidas brought their a-game in 2010.

Manila, meet Jason Markk

I was fortunate enough to bring in Jason Markk- the premium sneaker solution- to the Philippines. I believe that true heads need premium kits to keep their kicks premium. Launched in Manila last May, Jason Markk is now available locally via Titan, Bunker, weLegendary and Commune. Stocks are extremely limited but are still available at Bunker. The new shipment is arriving this January. Be patient, people!

World Cup fever hits RP Soles

World Cup Fever hit the globe in June but as early as May, adidas and Nike brought in their special releases for the World Cup. From Dunk ACs to Lunar Rejuven8s, Nike had their Country collabs in while adidas had their WC kits and Originals Pack in tow. Spain won it all and adidas sold out on their ESP goods. Hopefully with the Azkals push this month was any indication, football can be a Philippine-loved sport in the long run.

Air Attack Pack

I’m an Air Max nut and learning about the Air Attack Pack hitting the scene, that got me trippin’. With a hilarious viral to boot, Nike reminded everyone why people love their Nikes. As much as I enjoyed the Pack, there was one shoe that I was patiently waiting for and it would come in later in the year.

Rebirth of the Boat Shoe

Boat shoes are back and with classic brands Sperry and Sebago back in the game, boat shoes are all the rage. I took a liking to Sebago as they had some slick colorways and even better collabs. Manila had their fair share- from the 40th Anniversary Docksides (above), 1946 Ltds,  and the Vane Collab, the brand recognized the sneakerhead’s fascination for the limited. Expect a lot more from the brand in 2011.

JUNE:

Comic Cameo

One of our followers emailed me this image from his comic. Sole Movement is now part of Pop Culture! If you look at the top right, the site’s name is now a store’s name. Could Sole Movement be a sneaker store? I’ve thought about it, we’ll see how things go in the future.

More Brands Hit the Local Sneaker Scene

With the sneaker scene growing, you don’t have to wear your Nikes 24/7. We had so many brands come in (or make a comeback)- Clae, Generic Surplus, Creative Recreation (comeback), Keep, Vael Project, Pointer, VFF, Barefootwear- just to name a few. More to look forward to? Most Definitely.

I GOT THIS

With the Kobe Vs being a hit all year long (I actually lost count on the number of Vs that released here), this was one of the few that everyone had their eyes on. “I Got This” was taken from Kobe’s Hyperdunk ad from 2 years back but made sense when Nike made a collab with Aston Martin. Having 72 pairs locally, heads were happy to cop this special release with the Mamba getting his 5th ring in the decade. With the lining lasting a good 2 hours, Kobe fans can do their own version of the Aston Martin jump via photo magic (aka green screen) during the event. With Kobe winning another ring, his V colorways jumped 3 more- a 5 rings, and the 2 Big Stage Vs.

World Basketball Festival

June also marked the start of Summer and the amazing program Nike Inc had in store for the World. Nike had their annual summit and launched WBF- World Basketball Festival- a bi-annual event to celebrate basketball. With the event happening at NYC, Nike Inc presented their three brand offerings for the summer to the media. This got heads excited as the packs were all great.

Six months into the year and so much has happened. I can’t believe we went through so much product in 6 months. But are we really complaining that products are actually reaching our shores? Thought so.

Last night was epic indeed. NTPI celebrated NT’s 11th year of existence and did it in great fashion. Friends from the community were all around to check out the event and it was just one that you know was supported full force by the groups involved. From the Sneaker Brands- Nike, adidas, Converse, New Balance, Vans, Reebok, Creative Recreation, the stores- urbanAthletics, weLegendary, UNSCHLD, Termina, Secret Service, Progress, RONAC, and to the local sites- kingcrux31.com; yourdailydoseofmarc.com and yours truly (solemovement.com just in case you’ve gone mental) were all there to make this extra special. Cupcakes by Erica and Cookies by Marqaux made it extra sweeter while Banjo provided the fluids throughout the night. Performances by ANE/Prolifik, Grae, DJ Melt and DJ Medmessiah provided the beats all night to keep the vibe just right.

Imagine that- over 30 pairs from all the brands- free. From Nike’s SBs, adidas’ Redman Superstars and Nizzas, to extremely sick Vans samples to kick ass CONS, the community waited for their names to be called for the free kicks. But for those who weren’t called up, it was alright. Everyone had a grand time. By a lil’ over midnight weLegendary dropped their SB line in store (which had a couple of PRod4s and Dunks worth picking up; oh yeah, and a Janoski too).

Photos can never tell the full story; it can help paint the picture of what went down last night. I decided to take a photo of what people wore- that’s what you want anyways, right? I could’ve taken more, but some of the other heads toting cameras did the job for me.

To all the brands, heads, NTers, and supporters of our sites and NT- THANK YOU. It was fun. Let’s all meet up again when they drop the CG XIs. For more photos, check out Sole Movement’s facebook album and the sites mentioned above. On to the next one.

Just in case you still don’t have a legit cleaner to clean your kicks, bags, and anything leather. Jason Markk Premium Sneaker Solution is still available at weLegendary, Titan and Bunker (RONAC). Stocks are limited so cop yours this weekend!
