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.

OXGN Brings Upto 80% Deals On Shopee

It's been a while since we've covered an OXGN show. They've got the trendiest streetwear pieces, I actually have some of these in my wardrobe since they actually look cool and it fits my personality. I haven't had the chance to visit their physical store because of obvious reasons, the pandemic still exists and I'm quite afraid to go out just like everyone else in Manila. 

The good news is, OXGN has their own official store in popular online shopping app Shopee. What that means is, all their clothes are available online and can be easily ordered so all you have to do is wait at home til delivery arrives. Good news is, you can save a lot this season because OXGN is bringing some of their collection and putting it out with discounts of up to 80%. Sounds crazy? I know, but they're really serious about doing it only on the Shopee app. Streetwear doesn't have to be lousy, grungy, and can be done in very tasteful ways. They have fit tees with OXGN printed collars. It hugs the body and shows a little form when worn, you get a sense of sexiness even if it is streetwear. It also looks very premium because of the material and I think they really researched before putting it out there in their stores. Check out the things I found on the OXGN Official Store:

Ohh and don't get me started on the tons of collaborations they've done in the past. Aside from that, they also do design work with pop culture and iconic characters that are well loved by the youth.

What I like about this is how unique they are, you can tell it's an OXGN piece just because its different. You look cool, because they've always gotten out nice clothes. If you haven't tried the Shopee app yet, go download it off Google Play or the App Store. Add to cart, checkout, pay for it and wait for it to arrive in your doorstep. Make sure you use the free delivery and discount vouchers so you can save more when you do shop at Shopee. I'm waiting for my haul this week, I kinda went overboard during 11.11. I can't wait to do 12.12 and get the rest of the things I want for my room and wardrobe. Surely, OXGN is going to be part of that now.
