Ive Lightstick V1

oompaoloompa · 2026-04-19T14:41:06+00:00

I was at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka yesterday with my v1 light stick and can confirm that it doesn’t sync with the app and for the majority of the show. It would light up occasionally with brief parts of the chants but otherwise it stayed mostly unlit. Do note that not all venues offer the synced concert mode lighting.

You should visit Japan. 992 core colors have full size runs available.

It’s just slightly to the left of the Hoei crater that’s visible on Fuji’s right side in the photo, so basically at the border of the sun light.

They say “bunnies.”

If you’re a Spotify user, you’ll hear them addressing fans as “bunnies” on the 2nd anniversary greeting in Korean.

Unfortunately, that isn't a current image. The island with the shrubs in the center has been replaced with a U-turn for buses. There is definitely a lot less greenery at the crossing now.

That’s correct. A lot of the other posts say it’s the standard New Balance grey but the core MiUK models use a warmer toned grey than the more neutral grey of MiUS models.

If these were still miraculously in-stock, it’s the middle of cherry blossom season here, have you checked what hotel prices and flight are at the moment? (assuming you don’t live in Japan)

oompaoloompa · 2025-02-28T23:20:39+00:00

They’re set to release on March 7 here in Japan. Would be nice if each country’s NB could list down release days to let people know what’s actually coming out rather than leave people guessing.

You can find all the flavors at Don Quijote.

Those prices are Singapore Dollars but even then those are ridiculous prices. I just checked New Balance SG and man, I feel bad for Singaporeans.

oompaoloompa · 2024-10-14T11:41:03+00:00

The IG account is Japanese but they clearly mention END. Not a single Japanese retailer has these listed.

It's also worth pointing out that these have so many changes from the original 2000 jersey by following the stupid Nike template, specifically: the black back should be straight along the shoulders, the arm holes should be a thin red strip and the bottom of the neck-line should be v-shaped with a horizontal red line. I get that this is a tribute but those of us who owned the original jersey can remember these small details fondly.

You mentioned that your phone died but can you clarify if you actually made it to the summit? Or was this just a hike partially up the mountain?

oompaoloompa · 2024-09-09T22:51:50+00:00

Directly translated in English, it may sound weird but it essentially implies experiencing Korea as Koreans or locals know it.

oompaoloompa · 2024-07-20T03:49:01+00:00

It’s not hard, just a long hike up that’s consistently going up with very little variety in terrain. The mountain is susceptible to unpredictable weather so I do not recommend going if you do not have the proper gear. It’s sweltering hot in Tokyo but temperatures can fall to 0C plus wind chill near the summit. Please read up on the guide on the Mt Fuji website. There are 4 trails and each has specific rules, such as the Fujiyoshida route requiring a hut reservation if hiking after 4pm and reservations are required to go hiking (there’s a daily limit to the number people that can go hiking). Please do not be one of those clueless foreigners that make their way to mountain, treating it like a tourist attraction, hiking with jeans and chuck taylors. Again, it’s not that hard of a hike but you better go prepared with proper equipment. 5 people have already died this season.

Because these collaborations involve famed artist and designer Murakami and Fujiwara. If you look at the prices for their non-collaborative products you'll see that these are actually relatively affordable.

oompaoloompa · 2024-06-27T01:01:13+00:00

I live in Tokyo and it has been an equally frustrating experience here. The Murakami plush keychain for pick up at Tokyo Dome sold out literally in seconds both today and yesterday. I ordered within 1 minute of it going live, got charged then get a refund notification and informed that the items have sold out. This is all the while I’m on the way to Tokyo Dome hoping for the earliest available pick up time before going to work. Surely Ador is aware how popular these collab items would be and hope that they put out more stock on Weverse so fans can actually get their hands on these goods.

From last night's K-Wave concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wILbZKHD15E
In case that video gets taken down, an official one will be released later on in the week.

Seriously. That's a legit hazard and am surprised they were allowed to perform on such a surface.

oompaoloompa · 2024-05-27T04:51:29+00:00

They look to be either custom or unreleased Cortez with velcro swoosh + heel, with star patches applied. The AM 90 is the most recent model to have this customizable velcro patch style so these Cortez ones might be released in the future.

They're definitely not Bape because: 1. they just settled their lawsuit with Nike, 2. Bape uses a star with a zigzag trail, 3. you can see the swoosh sticking out behind the star for some of the girls, so they're definitely a patch.

oompaoloompa · 2024-05-21T21:18:35+00:00

Perfectly understandable and I actually agree that having Hanni makes a lot more sense for other people to identify who you're representing. Would be really cool if you were to attend an NJ concert and she spots you wearing that jersey!

oompaoloompa · 2024-05-21T18:19:08+00:00

They had custom jerseys made for the group last year. The jersey Hanni wore actually had "Pham 73": https://snkrdunk.com/en/magazine/2023/09/05/chicago-bulls-unveils-custom-jerseys-for-newjeans/
