NOOKA LOS ANGELES EVENT
Los Angeles welcomed Nooka with a great event at the DDCLAB store on Melrose. Unfortunately the Los Angeles Lakers took a beating to lose game 6 of the finals to Boston, so the city was kind of somber. But leave it up to Nooka to cheer people up with an open bar, lovely ladies, some celebrities, good music, and overall a great time. All of the Nooka collection was on display as well as some exclusive pieces like the Glow In The Dark Zub. DDCLAB & Redbull were the partners for that evening, and they were equally ecstatic with the results. We will post some videos later.

Nooka and Toyota have joined forces to create a unique line of timepieces that are the perfect companion to a truly unique vehicle, the 2009 Matrix. With designs inspired by the underground urban lifestyles of five contributors to the 5th Door website, these limited edition watches are a must for any trendsetter.

The designs are inspired by the blogs: Bulldog Bikes, What’s Really Cooking?, Afro Punk, Konsole Kingz, and The Brooklyn Circus.

On a hardly known backstreet in the heart of Baltimore’s Mount Vernon district sits Shop Gentei; a distinct destination not only for the city, but the States as a whole. Gentei has created a signature selection of goods, many of which are stateside exclusives direct from Tokyo; the shadowy silver workings of Garni, the uncompromising edge of Calee’s graphic tees, and the up-to-no-good Avant Guild line, all in addition to a complete lineup of import and domestic premium skate decks and parts, rare and custom fixed-gear bike frames and accessories, sneakers, and a broad range of accessories, including NOOKA.

The buzz is insane for this watch. Just check the blogs and the response for this watch and you’ll see what we mean. There will be a special announcement soon.

We discovered Complete Technique recently and were impressed by their designs [matthew waldman wears a silver speaker ring of theirs from kidrobot]. Above are just a couple of their unique pieces. Here’s more about them by one of their founders: “Complete represents an individual lifestyle that is urban and in touch with music as universal design. We make what we like and what we know. Our greatest influence has been the street culture of New York City and its pioneers.” We, at Nooka, can relate to that. Check the rest of their collection out at http://completetechnique.com

MATCH ME
One of our favorite sneaker companies Clae has always strived to make timeless designs and instant classics, and it seems that they have succeeded again with their new 2008 Summer collection. This new collection is consistent with Clae’s unique style but offers an even sleeker look by using clean lines and one-toned colorways. Here we’re showing you the Cousteau, Rollins, and Parker from left to right. Match these up for the summer with some Zubs!
