Adidas Originls ZX Runner: Unite All Originals

  

Style stands united with the new adidas Originals Spring / Summer 2013 collection to celebrate originality across the globe while expressing individuality in ‘unite all originals’. adidas New 2013 Brand Campaign Pushing A Retro Spin With The ZX Runner in ‘Unite all Originals’. 

 

The collection is designed with understated styling and quality tailoring in mind, innovating classics with modern character - which can be seen in this seasons’ highlight that features a classic throwback with a hint of contemporary street edge in the adidas ZX range.

The authentic '80s running shoe still leads the pack with a modern-day kick combining textile and suede in the upper, and a breathable mesh lining and cushioning in the tongue, collar and heel. Even before Jesse Owens wore Adi Dassler’s spikes in the ‘30s, technical and material developments have been at the core of adidas’ running shoe DNA.

Innovations such as the ZX heel counter had just as much impact on street style as it did on the track, especially in the ‘90s. There are echoes of that era throughout the Originals Spring / Summer 2013, particularly in the adidas ZX700 and ZX750 range, with bright neon and block colours showing up across iconic silhouettes. Running influences are also spotted on accessories and apparel such as the Colorado windbreaker, kept modern with updated fit and subtle materials.

An iconic symbol in street and urban culture, the ZX range is created for avid sneaker-heads making it a must have. With the call to ‘unite all originals’ this Spring/Summer – fans and street enthusiasts the world over can hear the call in a 90-second hero film, created in collaboration with DJ / producer A-Trak and director & visual artist SoMe, which creatively showcases the unique pieces found throughout the collection and represents the true meaning of ‘celebrate originality’ and ‘unite all originals’.

The ZX700 and ZX750 retails at RM340 and RM370 for both men and women and are available at the following adidas Originals Concept Stores:

adidas Originals Pavilion (Level 4)

adidas Originals KLCC (Level 3)

Hakubi White C Gel Review

Hakubi White C Gel was recently launched and introduced in Malaysia. This product is best for pigmentation, dark spot or blemishes skin. I think some people with blemishes or acne skin or sensitive skin are allergy to Vitamin C, Licourice extract or citrus acid. I have attached the list of ingredients, so do check and ensure your skin has no allergy to such ingredients. 

Description: Hakubi White C Gel 

This is a clear gel with Vitamin C derivatives and Licorice Extract, it repairs from the outside that helps to:-

• It permeates the skin to clear blemishes and freckles

• It suppresses the production of melanin and protects against blemishes and freckles

• It tightens, purifies and conditions skin. It maintains a healthy skin.

• It moisturizes and protects skin.

• It prevents dry skin and acne. Its antioxidant effect prevents acne by suppressing the oxidization of fat.

• The Licorice Extract or Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate in the gel acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to soothe irritation.

• It conditions the skin by activating collagen synthesis.

• It prevents spots after treatment

Review: Hakubi White C Gel 

Hakubi White C Gel tube packaging is convenient for user and has a small tip to control the amount of the gel squeeze out. I only apply on my targeted area like those pimples scars on my chin and the light pigmentation on my cheek. Apply twice a day for day and night at the targeted area. The texture is not really like gel, its very fluid and clear or transparent color. 

After using this gel for almost a week I don't really see much different on the pigmentation or lightening effect. The pimples scars on my chin became a little bit less visible. Maybe I should use it for a longer time or better result should take the Hakubi White C Plus tablets as oral skin supplements. As for my skin when I use this Hakubi White C Gel (whitening products) it does not dry or cause any irritation or rashes to my skin.   

Hakubi White C Gel ingredient list: 

Texture: Very fluid and clear 

Country of origin: Japan 

Formulation: Sato Pharmaceutical in Japan 

Content: 20g

Price: RM 91.90


Availability: Exclusively at 35 Sasa outlets throughout Malaysia
