Called Hanami Afternoon, Huck created it for an event called Three Apples which is an art event celebrating 35 years of Hello Kitty. The event kicked off this past Friday at the Royal/T (a cosplay-style cafe) at 8910 Washington Blvd in Culver City, so if you happen to live in or around the Los Angeles area you should stop by and check it out. No word on whether or not Huck intends to sell Hanami Afternoon, but if by some chance he does and you want to try to buy it, better start saving your dollars now.

The Alife Chuck is one of the dressier sneakers being released from Alife. Most of the previous versions of this model have been released in more conservative colorways like tan, brown and black. The “RGB Pack,” goes in the opposite direction by releasing three pairs all in vibrant solid colors. Featuring a full suede upper, these Chucks come in: Red, Blue and Green (hence the namesake “RBG Pack”). All three pairs have matching soles giving them a fully monochromatic look.
