Air Rejuven8

Very few new sneakers do excite us nowadays. This one does, why?

Straight out the Innovation Kitchen - Nike’s development lab for unconventional ideas - is the Air Rejuven8; a shoe that is specifically engineered to help tired feet recuperate in anticipation for the next bout of activity - perfect for athletes/those with active lifestyles to wear in-between sports.

This special pack is called 5 Rings, and it is specially made for the coming Olympic winners who are sponsored by NIKE to wear up to the podium for their medal award ceremony.

The inner "sock" is removable n u can wear it much like Nike's Aqua-sock. Each pair comes with a spare inner in black. Boy, that's like 3 pairs for the price of one!!!

Available now at Nike Performance KLCC & Mid Valley. Check them out, we did!

Fixed Theraphy

It was a great nite of riding the other nite. Damansara Perdana has it all; street riding, hill slopes, "obstacle course" & car park skidding in one place. The gathering brought 9 riders who are from different backgrounds together in unity for a simple common objective; to enjoy the freedom of riding & sharing the passion for the sport.

The riders have grown steadily n we hope to see more who will join us in the next session/s.

Below are some pics of cool rides that we have found while bike hunting in KL:
