Universal Alchemy Trailer
Our jaws dropped to the floor after seeing Universal Alchemy’s new trailer!
These guy’s have been breakin all over New York City, picking out some dope landmarks. The fisheye lens almost gives this a skate video quality and really shows off the ability of the crew.
So if you like BBOY, you should be along to the UK BBOY Champioship World Finals this Sunday (OCT 16TH) at Brixton Academy.

ASICS GT II Red/White – UK BBOY Championships 2011
So here we are, just 2 weeks before the 2011 UK BBOY Championships World Final at Brixton Academy and we wanted to show you the key sneaker for this years event….ASICS GT II Red/White!
ASICS have come to the fore over the last 3 years in the international BBOY scene with the popularity of the ASICS GT II, Gel Lyte III and Aaron. All of these sneakers have true performance heritage, dope retro styling and great colour pops. The Gel Technology really helps dancers stay comfortable when they’ve got a long day battling ahead.
You’ll see from the below images that the ASICS GT II is a sweet looking silhouette. It’s got classic lines, and handles the colours really well. The tapered toe works really nicely, and they never look flat, or crease in the wrong place. They hold their shape, and still look fresh after 50 wears!

Havoc on the Yard…
The boys over at Unit44 have been creating havoc on the yard again this week…..but it’s good havoc!
Our good friends & neighbours have just completed piece number 7 in the White Walls Project. Lucky number 7 was Handiedan from Holland.
The weather was good, the location was perfect and as you can see the finished piece looks amazing! It’s a combination of paste-up, paint and chalks.
David aka Billy the resident photographer with Unit44 also shoots for us, and we were trying to get some pick some dope locations for a sneaker shoot in, and around Handiedan as the piece went up. At one point there was a pair of ASICS Gel Lyte III’s, 3 x Vans Era 59 and Nike Zoom Match Classics all perched in various spots while we waited for the sun to appear….it was a ridiculous sight!
