Nike has always had some of the best commercials.
One of my all-time favorite commercials from Oregon via Japan.

Famed japanese advertising director, Takeo Hatai, filmed this Nike Cosplay campaign x Power Rangers spoof in Akiba, a major electronics city in Japan.

I heard the power ranger costumes were auctioned for $10,000 a piece and the shoes $2500 via 2 japanese websites.
True??

Either way, marketing at its finest...

Store Shouts!!

Number (N)ine
431 Washington Street New York, NY 10013
Closed Tuesday Mon - Sat: 11-7 Sunday: 12-6

Simply a great store..
Even if your not into grudge rock inspired clothing from famed japanese designer, Tabakiro Miyashita, you will appreciate the thought behind the interior and architecture of this north Tribeca store.
Miyashita recently released Number (N)ine's newest collections "Birds", which I have personally been waiting to see up close**especially with collaborations with giants Visvim and Gore-Tex.

*Side Note: If your into Ksubi/Tsubi jeans you will absolutely love Number (N)ine jeans. Unfortunately, Number (N)ine's jeans run about $400(like 200 pesos more than Ksubi/Tsubi).
