Better Late Than Never

Founded by designer Paul Budnitz in 2002, kidrobot is the world’s premier designer and retailer of limited edition art, toys and apparel. Their toys are innovative and to some it may be a collectors item as kidrobot tends to produce limited numbers of their products, this can be found on the majority of their apparel.

The figurines posted are made form soft vinyl the one above is "munny" it is undecorated toy left for the consumer to let their imagination run wild with, whereas the figurine posted below is known as a "dunny" which artists and designers are asked to implement their own style, the figurine below is the work of Frank Kozik an artist originally from Spain who now lives in America.

The new kidrobot store will opening up Earlham Street on the 19th November. Check it out.

"Look At His Pea Coat, Tell Me He's Broke Part 2"

For those who have been following HeyNuWorld from its earlier days you may recognise the title of this post, last time I brought to your attention the Vans pea coat Chukka's I now bring to you a home grown brand called "Admiral".

Admiral has been about since 1914 and was the official supplier of the British Royal Navy. They have taken the pea coat idea and applied to the footwear similar to the vans, however I feel they have implemented the idea of the pea-coat better as they have the flap which folds to enable the shoe to close as does the coat. Furthermore there are more buttons when compared to the Vans.

I once again stand undecided about these shoes, it can be dropped but only with the correct dress sense. I see it best fitting an international student particularly the Eastern Asian ones, Uni students, browse your campus and tell me if there dress sense isn't space boy fly!

Nike SB Zoom Stefan Janoski – Obsidian

On Kicks On Fire I saw Nike have teamed up with skateboarder Stefan Janoski to create a skateboarding performance shoe. I don't know, they kind of look like a Nike version of boat shoes. All I am saying is that if the Swoosh logo had was replaced with the Vans logo, you would see them on campus and at the bottom of many Facebook Uni-Rave pictures. Thoughts?

No Ceilings

Lil' Wayne has dropped a new mixtape, no auto-tune, no gimmicks just some Drought 3, A Milli-esque type stuff. The 'Run This Town Freestyle' is deadly. Since Wayne is going to jail soon (will prob get sentenced in February) expect a never ending supply of Dwayne Carter until he comes back out.

Enjoy

Voicemail Season

Pro 2010 has come, that is it. If the whole male species goes quiet for a month you know why.

Good Ol' Fried Chicken

My favourite VA natives (Virginia if you didn't know) The Clipse are about to return apparently in December with their third LP, 'Till The Casket Drops. The Thornton brothers are lyrical beasts, detailing their past times about moving that 'white girl'. I have never heard such colourful and imaginary references to cocaine in my life. A song featuring Harlem's own Pink Panther, Cam'Ron has surfaced this week, I haven't heard it yet, but the look of the video from pictures and the name of the song 'Popeyes' has me on a hype.

It is good to see Cam wearing clothes from this era. Recently he has been sporting upside down Gucci visors hats for way too long. No joke.

Long Time Coming

Firstly, I know this blog has been non-active for a while. Things had to be done and instruments are about to put in place, to never allow that 'hour' of silence to occur again. We are sorry. Now back to regular scheduled programming.

Congratulations

Ghana have made history by becoming the first African team to win the the Fifa Under-20 World Cup, beating the mighty Brazil in the final. On behalf of Dantè and myself, Hey Nu World would like to congratulate the Ghana U-20 team aka the Black Satellites. Mi fri Ghana!

Shine

It's been a little while since we have posted anything music-related. Soul singer Jesse Boykins III has just released a new video of his LP, 'The Beauty Created', a track titled 'Shine'. Dante, if you remember earlier posted one of his tracks on the site here. Decent track, easy listening.

What do you lot think?

Glee Club: ASOS Winter Wrap Star Edition

Yeah as you know, Summer has ended and Winter is about to be here for a little while. Rather than giving you some random Winter items, I only worked with items displayed in the Asos Wrap Star Section and with the mindset of a Glee Club member.

Thought I would do top to bottom, but with a reindeer hat on, for me that kind of defeats the aim of being smart, casual. But that's just me.

The scarf is a bit long, but should drop nicely with the rest of the outfit.

Cable knit cardigans are popular, because they are chunky in order to fight off the cold and I am personally liking the shirt under the cardigan as well. Nice touch.

Spoke about corduroy jeans before but these are decent and also show the Converse's I would recommend or plimsoles. They only had this type in the ASOS Section:

Now maybe I'm too young or not Paris Fashion Week enough, but I can't see myself wearing these. I don't work with timber nor do I operate bulldozers.

Holler at me.

African Stanky Legg?

Yeah this random I know, but this little boy has some moves.

No lie. Lol at the all-in-one swagger and the chickens running around. What do you lot think, a lot of stuff? Or just average?

Money To Blow

With student loans dropping any day now, some people might be going over hard in the first few weeks of term. I'm thinking we might see a lot of Plaid/Check shirts, Vans, beanie & wooly hats and jeggings on campus.

I know uni is uni, but don't go too hard on the alcohol, because memories (not including your own) and Facebook can be a bitch. You've been warned.

It's Nearly That Time Again

I'm no Mystic Meg, I don't really believe in star signs and horoscopes but I can predict that by the end of October and the beginning of November may put a strain on peoples relationships, and peoples phone calls may get mythed.

Yes, the time is nearly upon us the arrival of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, Football Manager 2010 and Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 are not to far off. Fifa 10 just dropped this Friday.

Girls you may find cold winter nights that much colder, or you may find yourself in a hot sweaty room full of angry males dedicating their time to these games religiously. Peoples ego's will be challenged, some will leave feeling emasculated it's emotional!

Flygeria!

To all the Naija followers of the heynuworld.blogspot.com here is a new anthem for you Mark Henry, G-Frsh, Tinie Tempah, Dotstar and Bigz present to you "Flygeria"
