adFunture worked together with G-Shock on a series of 4 figures this Summer. The series titled “Master of G” has its design concept directly linked to 4 G-Shock iconic watch models; Gulfman, Mudman, Frogman and Riseman. Here’s the #001 model code-named DEEP SEA based on the Gulfman watch.

VEIL released its VEIL Angry Skull Ring this week. Designed with our friend VOLT out in Taiwan, and handmade by VOLT, this .925 silver ring is only the begining of our long term program with VOLT. Only 25 pieces produced this season, the plan is to only produced that many per season to come. While we hate to use the term “limited edition”, these are still quite limited. Only 50 people can get their hands on the Angry Skull per 12 months.
This item is sold exclusively through VEIL Taipei Store and online store in PRC.
Expect to see more items from this collaboration line soon.

Just random products I like recently.

G-Shock FROGMAN. Professional divers love this model. I just love its shape and color~

Boots by our friend Jose in Taipei. His streetwear brand B-Side works with Bridge Footwear recently on this exclusive model. Pretty cool.

OVERKILL Inc, button-down shirt. Can’t go wrong with a good skull. OVK’s quality is always above par as well.

Speaking of Taipei brands, REMIX TAIPEI worked with NEW ERA again this season on a few designs of 59Fifty. Black on black is always gold, I wear this alot this month, alot~ I’m now waiting for our shipment of New Era, quite excited about getting ours done up.

Nike Dunk Denim Pack. Just simply good looks. I’m a Dunk guy.

BAPE x New Era. I rarely buy BAPE, but I like wearing 59Fifty, and this seems like a classic design, I gave in. There was alot of talk about the new ownership of BAPE. While I’m no expert in terms of finance, I do believe that a publicly traded company won’t buy out a losing company for no good reasons or good planning. We’ll just have to wait and see how I.T plays this hand. Looking forward to it though.

Kick things up a notch, let’s go luxury with this Bottega Venta woven bangle. I’m a sucka for woven-look designs, (Nike Woven Chukka included), I like this bangle alot, the quality is there, so is the price, of course. Like I said, I’m a sucka…..

Continuing on our work with VEIL, we have started releasing items from our S/S 2011 line. We started the season off with a short series of sweatshirts and pull-over hoodies, these are great day-to-day items to have during these overlapping weathers. Titled “Cheerful Tribe”, the graphic pattern will reappear throughout this season.




I personally love the grey fabric we used. The crew wore this colorway the most ever since we got our samples, the material is quite nice. This series will drop in our VEIL Taipei Store tomorrow. Enjoy.

Anyone remember these?
I was going thru our adFunture Archive for a magazine coverage we have to do in Taiwan, and I came across the Dunk Hi adFunture did with SBTG back in 2004.

These came out back in 2004, and were sold via FreshnessMag. Titled “Boulevard”, 24 pairs were made. Sold out pretty quickly, like 10mins. Of course, this was back in 2004. Fast forward to 2011, that might take a bit longer than 10 mins. Not to say SBTG’s work on these weren’t great, they are very nice even when I look at them today, but the sneaker market has changed quite a bit since 2004 to say the least. I have good memories from this project, SBTG was cool with work with, very talented. It was project like this early on that set adFunture apart from other designer figures company back in da day, I suppose; adFunture was never just about designer figures. We make other things, projects, whatever that interest us. Is more of a reflection of our own livestyles, the ones who work in/with adFunture. Anyways, just wanted to put this up here for record sake. Been there, done that, next~ We should look forward.

Showed the samples long ago, but the products we made Hong Kong company Protest Design Company finally came out. Three colorways of bangles with our “Turf War” motifs on them. I have been wearing PDC’s goodies for years, and it was fun working with them on these ones. I love the matted-black the most, as I’m sure most guys would too. This collaboration is only being offered in our Asian doors, however. This was our first time working together, so we didn’t make alot in terms of quantity. Next time though, we’ll have enough to offer to our International accounts. And yes, more projects between PDC and us are in the pipelines, so I’ll keep you updated as we go along.

We have been sitting on these for a while, actually, a long while. We were waiting for a more appropriate event to release these bad boyz designed by 3 amazing toy-customizers. Well, we’ve decided that New York Comic-Con would be a great time to drop these YOKAs designed by Motorbot, Reactor88 and PHU!. No hype, no fancy descriptions, these are simply very attractive designs by the three. These editions of 200 will be released at the booth of MyPlasticHeart in NYCC. Go get them if you like them.
*(the adFunture website is down for a revamp, we will be back up there soon.)

“Finally we made it!! The G-shock x Subcrew Limited Edition watch has redesign some details and accents, rather than the usual print on the watch. We’ve put the Sharkmarine’s teeth and eye patterns on the watchstrap, with the eye-catching yellow/green color combination that meet the sharkmarine theme. As you can see on the picture, a Sharkmarine pattern has been added on the LED backlight, makes the watch become more prominent on the darkness. On the backside, a Subcrew Logo has been engraved as well as the individual serial number. We will include a Sharkmarine doll together with the watch as a set for sale.
The G-Shock x Subcrew Sharkmarine watch is limited of 100 pieces, and each one has engraved with a specific serial number from 001 – 100. There will be small amount available in our Online Store only, so all Subcrew fans must not miss it! !”

The Shark figure, of course, if you’ve been following adFunture for a while, you’ve seen it before. And as of this moment, this Subcrew G-Shock is already sold out. Congrats to Subcrew and G-Shock!

Astro Boy super collector. This was a shot from the studio of Hong Kong designer “Ultraman”. He is more known for his metal figures, but in reality, his studio is filled with Astro Boy toys.

Central, Hong Kong. Right across from SOPH., APC, FIL, Nowhere Store. So, the dollar has grown?

A piece from Jeremy Scott’s current Adidas collection. Love the license plate concept here.
