Michael Lau's Gardener Tenth: Nike SB Stefan Janoski / Gardener 10th Hardcover Book

Besides the series of "Wood Grain" vinyl toys to be released in tandem with the coming GARDENER TENTH: 10 year anniversary celebrations of Michael Lau works, there are both shoes and books to look forward to (and lust after). Hypebeast reports about the existence of the ZOOM JANOSKI (ML's collaboration with one of Nike SB’s newest models) sporting the wood pattern also seen in the to be released series of vinyls - with the shoe itself set to be released October 3rd during the last day of the exhibition. Check out Hypebeast for more pics+info.
