Dandy & Dapper | Kanye West x Adidas' latest collection hits Hong Kong; shackets for autumn

Don't you wish! Actually, dude, the Adidas Original Yeezy Boost 350 Moonrock (HK$2,000) created in collaboration with Kanye West was released on November 14 at noon at only two Juice stores in Hong Kong (9 Cleveland Street, Fashion Walk, Causeway Bay, tel: 2881 0173; 18 Tai Ping Shan Street, Sheung Wan, tel: 2517 3099). They'll probably be long gone by the time you read this, but you can always call. Since I know Dapper will be scratching his head, these are the fruits of a designer collaboration with West, who is a mega celeb, rapper, music producer and self-taught designer. Oh, and he's married to Kim Kardashian.

I will never understand the frenzy for trainers but should you wish to fuel your addiction for the current fad footwear, you should be able to find satisfaction in the secondary market. Trainer scalpers are often the first in line to capitalise on the hunger for said shoes. They will no doubt be reselling them at an inflated price online. It seems most of the reselling occurs on eBay.com An earlier creation by Mr West with Nike, the Air Yeezy 2 Red October, is said to have been resold online last year for an average of US$2,958 from an original retail price of US$250. How much are you willing to spend on rubber shoes?

Unless you are planning to go on a hunt or become a lumberjack, I honestly see no point in dressing yourself as such in an urban environment. You jest about LL Bean, but it could be an easy solution for you as it now delivers to Hong Kong. Its classic red and black checked Maine Guide Wool Parka has the simple cut of a light jacket or shirt and is lined with PrimaLoft insulating material (HK$2,137.90; www.llbean. com). Locally, Uniqlo offers something quite similar; flannel shirts lined with beige, shearling-like, synthetic fleece, available in a variety of colours and checks (HK$299 each).
