Hi Huneybees,

OSIM, the global leader in Wellness Tech, is thrilled to unveil a unique collaboration with internationally acclaimed artist STASH for the launch of an art-inspired uCozy Heart. This heart-shaped, compact massager is designed to deliver soothing relief for the neck, shoulders, and back, helping users rejuvenate their mind and body with ease.

This partnership marks OSIM's debut venture into the art world, blending wellness with creativity. It highlights how art and self-care can come together to inspire and empower individuals to take charge of their well-being while enjoying the vibrant energy of STASH's iconic graffiti style.

Art Meets Wellness: A New Approach to Well-Being

STASH (Josh Franklin) has been a pioneering force in New York City's graffiti art scene since the 1980s. Known for his distinctive street art style, STASH has collaborated with globally renowned brands like Nike, G-Shock, Supreme, and Leica. His talent for blending classic graffiti elements with modern urban art and graphic design has made him a sought-after creative visionary across industries such as fashion, electronics, and lifestyle.

For OSIM’s uCozy Heart, STASH infuses his signature style of bold colors, layered textures, and dynamic abstract designs, inspired by his artwork West Side. Drawing from the vibrant energy of NYC’s iconic west side neighborhoods like Hell’s Kitchen and SoHo, this collaboration captures the essence of urban dynamism while enhancing the user’s wellness experience. Beyond physical relief, STASH envisions the uCozy Heart as a source of positive energy, merging the rejuvenating power of art with the science of well-being.

The uCozy Heart design also features STASH’s iconic Spray Nozzle motif, symbolizing his graffiti roots, alongside his graffiti signature on the front and a custom OSIM logo in his distinctive style on the back. This unique partnership bridges the worlds of urban art and wellness innovation, making each massage a revitalizing blend of creativity and comfort.

Sneaker Con SEA Was A Blast!

Hi Huneybees,

During the weekend, we attended Sneakercon 2023, and it exceeded all expectations. I had the opportunity to connect with numerous like-minded enthusiasts, exchange sneaker tips, and even bring home a haul of fantastic goodies!

The Staple + Sabotage booth attracted a multitude of fans, eagerly grabbing their merchandise. I took a shot at bidding for The Jeff Staple x staniflou "Singapore Pigeon" sneakers, but it seems there were more competitive bidders. Fortunately, I had the chance to meet Jeff Staple and Mark Ong and even secured their autographs.

Following the excitement, we paused at the PUMA booth. My husband had his sneakers polished, and I joined in the fun by participating in their sneaker coloring competition.

Our attention was then drawn to a lengthy queue at the Crocs booth, where we discovered that the Salehe Bembury x Crocs Polleg Clog "Sasquatch" was about to be released. Although we were eager to snag a pair for both of us, I was already considering another pair of sneakers.

Ta-da! Behold this Well Bred pair! There's a unique green variant in collaboration with Carlsberg, accessible solely through a raffle. However, my gaze was fixed on the incredibly charming and adorable pink version! I adore the intricate details, especially the fuzzy grasping hands encircling the sneakers.

We lingered near the Carlsberg booth, snapping selfies and enjoying a bottle of Carlsberg Smooth Draught. As an extra treat, we had our own exclusive caricature adorned on Carlsberg bottles by the talented Slim Lim. Don't we appear utterly cute under his skilled pen?

 

Whilst exploring the trading pit and marketplace for available sneakers, we stumbled upon an intriguing product from Philips - a shoe cleaner. I gave it a try and was genuinely impressed by its efficiency. The sneaker was cleaned, all without the need to soil my hands in the process.

While savoring snacks and drinks, we caught up with the panel discussion on stage. Later, we explored the Novelship booth, where we were introduced to the Metaverse fashion scene. The concept was still relatively new to me, and it took some time to fully grasp its essence. You can check them out if you are interested.

That concludes my inaugural Sneakercon encounter. It's fascinating to witness the immense community and following that sneakers can amass. I eagerly anticipate what the future holds and look forward to what's in store for next year. You all should definitely come and experience it firsthand!

NIKE X Undercover Gyakusou S/S13 Collection

Hi Huneybees,

NIKE recently launched the NIKE x Undercover Gyakousou's S/S 2013 Collection in Singapore. It was done in the most unexpected fashion ever.

We gathered at Raffles Hotel before being brought downstairs to a welcome sight of trishaws. We were on a moving fashion walk to preview the collection!

We went around the Bugis area and it was fun to ride around in trishaw. It's been since primary school that I have rode in one. Along the way, we spotted some models in the NIKE collection, doing warm ups and jogging. Even though the weather was scorching hot, the models didn't sweat much coz of the breathable and lightweight materials of the apparels.

Interesting right?! But the joggers were a little too fast and I was glad when they were standing by when we arrived back at the hotel's ballroom. Here's more in depth introduction to the collection...

Originating from Jun Takahashi's desire to create the ideal running products for the marathon in Honolulu - NIKE X Undercover Gyakusou's philosophy has always been to find the perfect balance between style and functionality, in the same way as the "soulful runner" focuses on both the contemplative and performances sides of running. 

The collection's trademark colour palette speaks to Jun's urban-rural accord with subtle city tones and natural hues which are popped this season by bright Mesa Orange, Lush Victory Green and Fuchsia Sangria Pin, reflecting the renowned vibrancy of Rio landscape.

In Rio de Janerio, the summer temperatures can get higher than 104 degrees and the Gyakusou runners battle the heat as they run through the city, parks, landmarks and lagoons. Withouth the weather combative equipment, they can never achieve that much.

The NIKE x Undercover Gyakusou S/S 2013 infuses Jun's less but better design philosophy with the latest NIKE innovations to present a technologically advanced line. I would say it is a very stylish line that is definitely suitable for Singapore's sweltering weather this season.

The men's collection has a signature wavy pattern that can be found on the tops and bottoms. One that I think is a must have is the Convertible Jacket.

It has detachable sleeves and it is super lightweight (almost weighing nothing). Do not fear that it will be warm wearing a jacket. It is totally breathable with the diamond-shaped open mesh on the back panels, with laser-cut ventilation holes, so that you can regulate your body temperature even in warm temparatures. 

All the apparels from the men's collection comes with the light reflective Gyakusou logo and there are pockets everywhere for you to stash some money, keys, mobile and even energy gels!

There are 2 ranges in the men's collection, but I'm liking the orange/blue one above. The green one might be a little too camouflage for my liking. Both collection functions the same way, just that the designs are different.

The whole Gyakusou collection SS tops are structured around a base layer with no sew construction, minimizing friction for long distance runs. Moreover with the wavy designs,  slimmer silhouette can be seen. :)

Now for the women's collection.

The women's collection with the season's broader selection of uniquely creafted pieces, moves away from the men's naturalistic shapes, sporting an iconic diamond panelling.

On the reverse side of the tops, is a rougher beehive material that allows the top not stick to your skin when you get all sweaty form the exercises.

The high performance, tunic style Lightweight Jacket fabrics mix, and the 2-in-1 shorts flat seam stitching provide no attribution and unrestrained movements, elevating the technology with cutting-edge style.

The tops has this stretchable material around the armpit, so that you can stretch with no restrain.

The NIKE X Undercover Gyakusou S/S13 Collection, priced from S$89 onwards is now exclusively available at Surrender, Raffles Hotel Arcade, #02-31, 328 North Bridge Road. Tel: 6733 2130
