So welcome to the start of IDYSM's first Hong Kong season. I'll be
sharing stories of some of the fascinating sights and amazing people I was
lucky enough to meet during my time in this fantastic city, and it seems only
fitting that I start things off with a new friend, someone I am hugely grateful
to for making my trip as enjoyable as it was.
Masa is a multi-talented designer based in Hong Kong. His work
covers many mediums, and if his rich array of talents are not enough, he's one
of the nicest, kindest peeps I have met.
He asked to remain somewhat anonymous in this article and let his kicks
take the limelight, a role his NB HS77's are more than capable of fulfilling.
The shoes were initially dropped as part of the 2011 'Past, Present and
Future' collab pack from New Balance and the Singaporean sneaker store Leftfoot.
The HS77 silhouette represented the 'future' component of the pack, and was considered such a hit that the
style was given a general release which is when Masa picked up these kicks that
mix style and comfort, something important when on his feet all day.
A huge sincere thanks to Masa for all the hook ups, local knowledge and
for his time hanging out with me, and I hope the future is bright for both him
and his fantastic kicks and you can check out his world here.
