Occasionally a brand comes along which is based on a premise so solid that it practically writes its own history. A brand where every release makes perfect sense and seems to be a natural synthesis of current trends and the original idea.

Melbourne’s B.BOT DEFENSE SYSTEMS INCORPORATED is exactly such a brand, more human than human, bringing together the history of robot, androids and cyborgs and the history of street wear, to make one of the best brands i’ve seen. Here’s some of the latest pieces to go up on Nice.

There’s a brand new sugar coated snack for Melbourne’s cake hole and its called Donuts Deluxe. Filling Melbournes drastic retail gap with nothing less than hot jam.

D’nuts is open for business and is stocking a large and rotating selection of rare sneakers and apparel by Thrasher, Juxtapose, , New Era, 20’s and 10’s and Nice Produce, as well as skate, art magazine and supplies.

Its good to finally see something like this open in the city, a no bullshit blank canvas for crazy new ideas, and crew who have a clue on whats up.

We got a huge sugar fueled lanch party planned which will coincide with the release of limited edition Donuts Deluxe T’s by both Nice and 20’s and 10’s to commemorate the momentous occasion. More news on this down the line.

Until then get in and check it for your self at the end of Carson Place, off Little Collins between Swantson and Elizabeth. Just under Nice HQ.

Sneakers currently in rotation.
