Sneakers, eyewear, and wearable style, including smart glasses.
An impulse buy after spotting a deal on r/RayBanStories: a coupon got me 35% off the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer, dropping it from US$379 to US$246. I chose Matte Black with transition lenses, shipped to Singapore via a freight forwarder.
The Apple iPhone Leather Wallet with MagSafe retails for S$89, dropping to S$69 during the 12/12 sale. I finally had a use for one after getting the UOB Absolute Cashback Card, which doesn't support Apple Pay.
END. Clothing ran a 20% discount on sale items, so I grabbed the Adidas Ultra Boost 19 in Raw White / Active Orange for S$124, well under the S$280 Singapore price. FedEx delivered them within five days.
My second Yeezy, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 in Black, thanks to my brother. Launched on 7th June 2019 at S$349, he couldn't snag it from Adidas Singapore, so he bought it from Yeezy Supply for around S$300.
For Black Friday I wanted an Ultra Boost to replace my 2014 Adidas Revenge Boost 2, on a S$200 budget. The all-black pair wasn't on sale and Adidas Singapore's deals were poor, so I bought the Laceless from END.
Apple Park t-shirts come in eight colours, with only the white and black featuring a multi-colour ring. Each costs US$43.60 with tax, or US$34.88 with the Apple employee discount, available from the Apple Park Visitor Center store.
My brother helped me get my first Yeezy, the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 v2 in Blue Tint. Launched on 16th December 2017 at S$349, it features a tinted blue upper with contrasting red lettering and a mirrored 'SPLY-350' mark.
I already own two pairs of Adidas NMD shoes, from Hong Kong and Munich, and have used Head Porter bags since 2009. So when Adidas NMD crossed over with Porter (Yoshida), I had to get the NMD C1 shoes.
I backed the Crabby Wallet on Kickstarter in April 2013, and it funded the next month, raising US$308,838 against a US$10,000 goal. I bought two, orange and pink, for US$37 total. They mixed up the order and shipped purple instead.
Good news for fashion-forward, tech-savvy Android users who love shopping on the go. ZALORA, Southeast Asia's fastest-growing fashion and beauty e-retailer, has expanded its mobile offering with the launch of an Android shopping app across the region.
I'd missed this news from March 2011: Knightsbridge, the four-storey retail podium on Singapore's premier shopping belt, is now fully leased, with Abercrombie & Fitch taking the prime corner unit. It marks A&F's first step into Southeast Asia.
Not tech-related, but H&M is finally opening in Singapore! So far I've only visited Hong Kong's H&M, where I picked up some shorts. Hennes & Mauritz takes its first step with a store at a prime Orchard Road location.
Nike has opened its largest flagship store in Southeast Asia right here in Singapore, on the second and third floors of Wisma Atria. The previous regional record-holder was in Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. It even houses a Nike iD Studio.
