STACKED

First time eating at Stacked. I know I'm late, but this place is basically a restaurant that uses an iPad to order your food. Haha.
But then my brothers and I were on a tight budget so pretty much got the cheapest food as possible and shared it.
Also, they have this "happy hour" which is 25% off their appetizers during Mondays-Thursdays. I forgot the time though. Haha.

WRECK-IT RALPH

Wow! Disney pretty much got a bunch of famous villain video game characters and put them in this movie. Famous Nintendo and Capcom villain characters.
There's familiar villains also like from Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega) and a couple more, but I just can't remember the name. Haha.

Bowser from Super Mario (Nintendo).
Zangief and M. Bison (or Vega in Japanese version of Street Fighter) from Street Fighter (Capcom).

Pretty much, by watching this movie would be nostalgic due to an all-star (villain) characters.

START THE MONTH WITH A KNOCK OUT

Well, I know it's June 2nd...
By knock out, I meant these Air Jordan Knock Out also known as AJKO. Although the LeBron 9 Elite - "South Beach" released the same day, Jordan's still got it.
(Just do a comparison of their retail price. Haha.)
AJKO = $125
LeBron 9 Elite - "South Beach" = $250

AJKO - "Bred"

AJKO - "Black Toe"

NIKE ELITE SOCKS - "POISON DART FROG"

Ever since Nike Vault did the custom Nike Elite Socks - "Christmas" Leopard to match along with the Zoom Kobe VII "Christmas Leopard" or Cheetah, people are going nuts over the whole customized Nike Elite Socks.

Again, only available at Nike Vault.

NIKE x TOM SACHS MARS YARD SHOE

Although it seems out of place for Union to sell Nike shoes again, but it fits perfectly to the store's lifestyle or high-end stuff...

I'm just going to paraphrase/quote a friend of mine about it - "It's better for Union to sell them because if it was at NikeTown, most consumers will not buy them due to it's price tag." ($385 for the shoes and I don't know how much are the bags and jackets).

(Here's a link to look at the whole collection: Highsnobiety - Nike x Tom Sachs NIKECraft Capsule Collection)

As you can see below, jackets and bags are more suitable for the customers of Union rather than NikeTown or maybe Nike Santa Monica.


The display at Union.
I am not sure if each box is hand-written (signed) or printed. Haha.

When I tried it on, it just felt weird for me so I sold a couple of days after I received it.

Vans Syndicate - AVE/Dill pack consist of:
- Dill: Authentic = Snake skin.
- AVE: Old Skool = Cheetah.
- AVE + Dill = AV Sk8 Low.

I was going to get the Dill Authentic, but it just doesn't look right on me when I tried it on.
So, I went ahead and got the Sk8 Low. AVE Old Skool was nice too, but just got it for somebody else.

AVE + Dill Sk8 Low and Dill Old Skool.

YELLOW MUSTARD AND CURRY SAUCE

Finally tried the curry sauce from The Golden State.
It's more like some ketchup base with some curry mixed in it. It was good. I was alternating the curry sauce and garlic aioli.

Yeah, I put yellow mustard on my burger.

NIKE SB GUINNESS BEER

While I was on Dictionary.com, this caught my attention because of the words - Nike and trouble.

I thought Nike had another copyright infringement, but when I clicked it, the definition of the Black and Tan came up...

Well, it's suppose to be based on the Guinness beer because that's the color of their beer.
Also, since most people are not into shoes and not aware of Nike getting their inspirations from beers like Heineken, New Castle, Tecate, and Miller High Life, they made a big deal about it...



Black and Tan:
Usually, Black and Tans. an armed force of about 6000 soldiers sent by the British government to Ireland in June, 1920, to suppress revolutionary activity: so called from the colors of their uniform.
