Fancy a bit of retail therapy this weekend?
Hong Kong brands Bamboa and Kibo are helping people stand out from the crowd with a workshop where guests get to personalise their own pair of Kibo sneakers.
Crocs has teamed up with designer Simone Rocha for a second foam footwear collaboration featuring Rocha’s signature embellishments.
But you will have to be quick – the collection dropped on Friday and is already selling fast.

1. Bamboa x Kibo sneaker workshop
Hong Kong brands Bamboa and Kibo have joined creative forces to host a workshop where people can create a pair of customised sneakers.
Sustainability is key for both. Kibo – which means “hope” in Japanese – is a shoe line that uses recycled leather, canvas and plastics, cork insoles and alternative fabrics such as apple leather. Bamboa is known for its bamboo bedding, towels and tees.
The event takes place from 3pm-6.30pm on October 20 at Bamboa’s outlet in Mid-Levels, on Hong Kong Island.
Paints, tools and help will be provided, along with live music, drinks and canapés. The price (HK$1,520/US$200) includes the sneakers.
17A Shelley Street, Mid-Levels, tel: 6401 8811

2. Skims for men debuts at Lane Crawford
US shapewear and clothing brand Skims, which was co-founded by reality star Kim Kardashian, took the world by storm when it launched in 2019.
This week, the brand’s men’s collection – featuring staples such as briefs, boxers, vests and T-shirts – arrived in Hong Kong at luxury retailer Lane Crawford.
Available at select Lane Crawford stores and online.

For this second drop, Rocha has three new styles that use custom charms, featuring oversized pearls, edgy spikes, sparkling diamonds and faux fur.
Simone Rocha x Crocs Drop 2 available from I.T Hysan One, Shop M1, 2, 1 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, tel: 2972 2572. Also available online at ITeSHOP.
