GUEST REVIEWS 25
B-boy BJ Betts and Addict regular C-Law provide the goods on this new
Method Zip Hoody. The latest hoody features a matt black metal fi nished
‘darkside’ Addict zip pulls and a snug pique cotton lining to the hood. C-Law’s
master blaster camo skills are employed to the fullest here as he remixes
Betts’ trademark rose and thorn motif.
A protégé of the legendary Adi Dassler, Law’s passion shines through in this
garment, christened the ‘Screw Face’ camo. BJ Betts’ love affair with tattoos
and typography comes out here too, showing elements of everything, from
gothic imagery to Japanese body art.
No stranger to collabs, BJ’s work with Crooked Tongues and New Balance is
just part of a portfolio that includes limited edition Puma kicks and projects
with electro act MSTRKRFT. Whether the project is for wearing on the
outside of the skin, or beneath it, BJ’s devotion and creative zest ensures his
design is always one step ahead of the pack.

FRICTION ADDICTION
Callin’ all ballers! Fusing on and off-court clothing
back in ’93, k1x are a strong standard in the
realms of basketball outfi tters. Made by ballers
for ballers, the usual quality engineering we’ve
come to expect from the country that brought us
VW and BMW is applied to the same degree in
these threads. k1x don’t just stop at sweats and
shorts though, they also provide all the necessary
equipment, accessories and footwear you’ll ever
need for the court.
Fifteen years on, k1x is keeping it real through
grass-roots partnerships with institutions like
Rucker Park, team Sierra Leone and Bobbito
Garcia. Slabs of urban flavour are now served
up in 26 different countries, giving up the ‘got
next’ phenomenon to brothers all over the
world, court by court.
The idea behind this season’s collection is the
HIP HOOP
love affair between hip hop and basketball. The
expression of basketball as the fi fth and fi nal
element in hip hop culture is close to the heart of
this selection, so get involved in the game, but if
you’re goin’ in, make sure you’re playin’ to win.

Yoooo! Y’all been sleepin’ on this one! Motocross kings Alpinestars have pulled together a stunningly
stylish range for the spring with some mad decent T-shirts for the guys and hella tight girls stuff too.
Tough-wearing standards ain’t compromised in the new collection and the Italian stallions have come
up trumps with these goodies. It’s all about the lifestyle with these guys and classic tailoring gives the
fellas some strong masculine lines whilst providing fl attering cuts for the gyal dem.
Killer T-shirts and loose-cut jeans are the order of the day for the boys. There’s always been a focus on
technical spec with Alpinestars and this season’s no exception with some nice velvet detailing to their
tees and jackets.
Cute as a button hotpants and backless dresses are too hot to trot, bringing a bit of glamour and class
for girls who wanna wow the crowds. Whether you’re at the club or the racetrack, the collections got it
covered with some nice materials and sexy styles.
