Celebrating 10 Years of Streetwear: BUM Black Army Showcases Holiday Collection at Pop Up Store in Araneta City

Just got off the BUM Black Army 10th Year event at the Farmers Plaza Activity Center in Araneta City. They are celebrating 10 awesome years of providing Filipinos non apologetic street wear, something that I've loved over the years. I was witness to how they've consistently grown... experimenting on looks and setting the trend for teens, men, women, and for those who just love being unique, reeks of individuality, and authentic.

At the event, we saw several of BUM Black Army's executives, marketing professionals, influencers, models, bloggers and trad media. Folks who adore the brand also trooped to the lower ground floor of the mall to enjoy the pop up store's 10th Anniversary promo. Folks who purchase shirts, pants, caps, bags and accessories will get the change to have their own customized shirt, a 360 degree video, iced or hot coffee, free caps, shirts and hoodies. They really did take advantage of that, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

BUM Black Army also showcased their latest BUM Black Army Holiday Collection featuring several shirts, camouflage and tactical pants, baseball tops, caps and hoodies. I will be purchasing the army pants (in green) plus the army green shirts which surprisingly fit me quite well when I tried it that afternoon.

We were also treated to the music of the 90's and early 2000's as one of their ambassadors called Lunar Lights Band. A lot of people started to fill the several floors overlooking the venue. 

This was an awesome way to celebrate 10 great years of streetwear from BUM Black Army!

Here's our video coverage, please, enjoy!

10 years is not a joke, it's valuable experience. Filipinos are social, but when one needs to express himself with fashion, BUM Black Army gives the pieces that exude confidence. I remember the years when they had goth and rock as their palette, but instead of being stagnant, they planned quite well to also grow with the generation that adored them. Now they look cool, still representing street wear, and still presenting color that can appeal to the generation today. For that, congratulations BUM Black Army! Here's to another decade or more of this excellence!

If you would love to see what they have up their sleeves, visit and like their social channels. They've got new stuff which you'll enjoy too.

BUM Equipment Releases BLACK ARMY ACADEMY

There's certainly a huge change happening at BUM Equipment as they release a new line properly called BLACK ARMY ACADEMY. I'd reckon the changes actually come from the brand's knowledge of a generation growing with them, and along that the changes and street wear culture that developed over time. This new collection showcases how they get to innovate style wise, because it's not just going to just stay stale, but become cool and developing pieces that work for those who choose to wear it. 

Black Army Academy is for those who are rebellious, the free spirited ones, with an in campus lifestyle. These are the ones who choose to stand out, who look tough and won't be too shy to stand out while wearing them. It's still comfortable, whether it's a shirt, jacket, pants, even those that are filled with patches and prints.

Here's a glimpse of how BUM Equipment wants you to look like with the new BLACK ARMY ACADEMY line.

For those who adore the military look, utilitarian, which you can mix and match with your own existing BUM pieces, because it follows what you wear when it's trendy, and remains uniquely you if you choose to be one in a million/stand out.

The new BUM Black Army Academy Collection is now available at all BUM boutiques, even in huge department stores nationwide. If you want to stay home, don't fret as it's also in Shopee and Lazada, all you need to do is order and wait for it on your doorstep. It's fresh, it looks cool, and would definitely turn heads as you wear them with confidence, as the streets become your runway too.

Nash Aguas for BUM Black Army Collection 2016

I know you've been all waiting for this. Who doesn't want to see oh so cute Nashie boy right? Well we also interviewed him while on this shoot. He's also going to tell us about his favorite pieces, what he wants to wear, and why he wants those that are simple and stylish. He also got to enjoy the hoodies with animal designs on them, perfect for the Halloween season if you haven't got a costume yet. Plus it's cute like your love, Nash!

Here's Nash Aguas' interview, enjoy!

BUM is also carrying Athletic Goth or Health Goth styles, so if you're thinking of something new, just drop by the store and get one of these pieces below!

I personally like what he chose for the long shirts, the jackets and also the pants he wore. He also likes simple shirts and colors so you won't really have to mix and match anymore because it already looks good with anything. Those pieces are worthy to invest in, you can use it for years!

As an endorser, Nash is just perfect. He wears the products and if that isn't enough reason for you guys to buy these shirts, pants, jackets, then I don't know what's wrong with you LOL! Hope you love the photos!
