Sneakers Vending Machine

From normal drinks and cigarettes to slightly weird eggs and lobster, the Japanese are obsessed with vending machines. Another thing they are obsessed with is sneakers, so it would only seem logical to mix the both of it and come up with a sneaker vending machine. The first ever sneakers vending machine by Japanese sports fashion brand, Onitsuka Tiger, will be placed in the UK. Its surprising thats its not in Japan. But as long as its made by a Japanese company, the Japanese can still brag about it. The machine can vend 24 pairs of sneakers at one time and all of the sneakers will be given away for free. It will stock only Mexico 66 in Red/ White/ Blue for the April launch. The Vending machine will go on a national tour throughout 2008 starting in Manchester after being stationed in London from the 14th to the 16th of April.

The Freaky Jason

With so many independent magazines right now in the market, its not often that you come across something that is truly original. Hailing from London, The Freaky Jason is a free magazine that covers all things, artistic, absurd, surreal and underground. The magazine’s first issue ‘Jesusy Boys’ featuring Warren Ellis of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds on the front cover- highlights the growing trend on the underground scene of people growing long beards and looking like Jesus. “Steering away from conventional religious banter, this issue embraces how hot Jesus looked. Spiritual? Bah! Sexy! Look around these days and you’ll note that muscles are out, and beards are in.“
