At the core of street wear is the addiction of collecting – Shoes, watches, vinyl, hats, toys or anything else of interest. We seem to constantly have new items turning up at the Y.K.W.A.L offices. If you are a collector of, well pretty much anything you know how good the feeling is when you find what you are looking for. The other side of that is when you find what you weren’t looking for but knowing what you got is a treasure. Much of the inspiration we get is from genuine vintage items and design work. While searching for the next gold nugget this was found, an original framed photo of Sylvester Stallone with his 3m shark he caught by the Bay of Island in the far North of New Zealand. Stumbled across some gold.

The photographer said ‘he’d only made one decent film, Rocky. So i wasn’t star-struck’
