So last week, I packed my bags and flew off to New Zealand for the launch of the DC x Royalefam Circus of Mutants collection. Spent three days in Auckland, and it’s such a beautiful place… If only we had more time to do more sightseeing though.
That said, the trip was really amazing! And none of it would have been possible without all the hard work and planning by the awesome people from DC and Loaded. They made it happen, and they made each moment of the trip really unforgettable.
On my second day in Auckland, I had the opportunity to have a mini meet-and-greet session at the Loaded store. I had the opportunity to meet lots of people, some of them fans and supporters, and every one of them a sneakerhead. It’s always an awesome feeling to see all these people gather together, all of them who share a similar passion. Thanks to the guys at Loaded for making the meet-and-greet session possible, it’s such an awesome feeling!
Apart from the meet-and-greet, I had the honour of being interviewed by a couple of radio stations, from Flava Radio, to The Edge and finally to a 95bFM interview with this radio DJ called Richie Hardcore. I don’t think I’ll ever get to meet another guy with ‘Hardcore’ as his last name. Awesome guy, it was definitely an honour to meet so many people in Auckland in a matter of just a few days.
The DC representatives from all the different countries were such great company to be with, even Koichi from DC Japan was there! The day ended with dinner with the guys from DC, and once again, big up to all of you from DC for making this trip possible!
Check back for Part 2 of the update, and some lowdown on the Launch Party. You guys should have been there, and if you guys wanna find out more about my collaboration with DC, do check out the microsite they’ve done up for the Circus of Mutants collection here. Let me know what you think, ‘cos I think it’s pretty dope!
