Gloc 9 and New Era Independence Day Celebrations at Trinoma

Independence Day of the Philippines couldn't be more apt than ever. With the way things are going now, a sense of nationalism would be good to instill on any avenue. NEW ERA has been here for a few years now, and they have changed the fashion landscape for caps in the Philippines as they present high quality premium products right on their shelves.

To do the Philippines some good old history, they came out with this Pilipinas collection, signifying the Pilipinas insignia in 2 versions and one indicating the year of our independence with 1898. 

They have this in snapback and plain sized versions. You simply have to drop by their stores and try it on so you could get your proper size. I don't usually wear caps unless I have to make a statement and this does even more than that. It instils pride I guess.

Then we have famous rapper GLOC 9 collaborating with NEW ERA Philippines to come out with 3 designs. One has a cartoon version of GLOC9, the other two has his songs titles on it. I personally like the one with the toon on it and the Simpleng Tao inscription, I dig it.

Daniel Broderick of NEW ERA says "Thanks for spending your holiday with us, spending 3 years with us and this collaboration with a local artist is just as timely. We did the warriors JayZ, J.Lo, and the reason we chose Gloc9 is because he's getting some play internationally, so please get one as I know they're going fast. Gloc9 will be our first, but we will have a lot more soon. Happy Independence day!"

GLOC 9 also performed in front of the stage and gave VIP shoppers a taste of freedom at Trinoma, admission was free and this guy didn't hold back. His mouth almost caught fire!

They have a lot of branches in major malls in the country, go grab them now before stocks run out! It's pretty good merch!

Converse Sneakers Clash

This sight just brought me back to second year college while I was in the brink of insanity because of my AC/DC circuits subject. Though this one has very good load on it because CONVERSE just released their Spring 2014 collection. This is part of a worldwide release of an homage to the old Converse All Star '70 designed by Chuck Taylor. This is Sneakers Clash.

Included in this collection is the camouflage and zebra prints. It was first seen in the Converse All Star Chuck '70. They are bringing the nostalgia and put them into new styles now as seen above. This also contains a heavier, thicker canvas textile, a smaller toe box, reinforced stitched heels and strips, plus premium nickel metal parts, thicker and cushioned interiors.

They also introduced Michael Carandang as one of their endorsers. On this shot is the President and CEO of Filcon Manufacturing Corporation Ms. Margie Go. Carandang says Converse is like second nature to him and he can't remember not wearing them even in the US. Michael is the producer of shows like Jerry Springer, America's Next Top Model and the Tyra Banks Show. He's a full pledged Filipino and has decided to stay here now. I've seen him countless times in Philippine Fashion Week and shows from other brands but he looks happy here.

If the Shoe Fits

The US Military operations continue in the Middle East specifically on Iraq and Afghanistan. We all know that nobody's a winner when it comes to war. People get hurt, more women and children are displaced. It’s quite understood that they would not have time to make a living, nor learn what they need to in school. It’s a pity that we need to send troops in that region. Men and Women sworn in to protect their motherland, now have responsibilities to keep peace in the world. This is a huge task, you can never complain because this is the US taking the lead in the global war against terrorism. We just need to do our part to help our troops so they'd safely return home.

They are real heroes at work!

Some roads and corners in war stricken Iraq are not surely safe. There are times when the US Soldier has to go to patrol every once in a while to keep peace intact communities throughout Baghdad and the Southern City of Basra. It took them a month or so to have these taken over and one of the reasons why they keep a low fatality rate is because they prepare before they go out for operations. They need backpacks, head gears, shirts, the ever dependable bullet proof vests and the perfect shoes. Now why the perfect shoes you ask? And why do I put so much emphasis on this? That's easy! With the tough landscape and environment in the desert, our men and women shouldn't suffer the same fate as camels and other creatures in that place. That is just not right; because for the role they play in saving our lives and keeping the world a better place to live in, you know they deserve only the best. This is where Wellco Boots come into the picture. They know how to play this game because they have a wide selection of boots to choose from. For the varying terrain and weather in that side of the globe, you need ones for tactical work, for the hot weather, for desert combat, those that are lightweight, waterproofed ones and the ones that can give you the grip (rippled soles) which you need to win the fight.

They even have shirts and caps that come along with the equipments so everything would fit perfectly. These are products approved by the US Military and other government agencies. Now anyone in the world would be able to have the opportunity to have one of their own. Are you the type who gets left behind? Can you be like the heroes this country is proud of? You can call their customer service personnel available to answer you questions over the phone Monday - Friday 8:30 - 5:00 CST but only if the shoe fits!
