Pioneering sneaker boutique Limited Edt
and acclaimed sneaker customiser Mark Ong, aka Mr Sabotage, proudly
present the highly anticipated follow up to their successful Urban Islander
collection that was first launched in 2020.
The Urban Islander is defined to be an inhabitant of the sunny island, which
both collaborators originate from, holds a deep interest in style, music, art and
subcultures, an open mind to creativity, and who traverses the streets and
paths less traveled.

The concept also epitomises the contrast between Singapore being a
metropolitan urban city and, at the same time, the perfect tropical getaway.
This is perfectly captured in the new collection fusing urban sophistication and
tropical flair that transcends boundaries and elevates streetwear to new
heights ā by featuring a range of products that include a New Balance 580
sneaker, Helinox Chair One, OMBAK shirt and shorts, tote bag, hat and
socks.
In addition to elevating Singapore street fashion, the Urban Islander collection is also a celebration of the ongoing collaborative efforts between Limited Edt and Mr Sabotage, as well as the long-term partnership between Limited Edt and New Balance.
At the heart of the Urban Islander Collection lies the New Balance 580, a masterpiece that seamlessly blends a reserved colour palette with bold statements. The shoe features the signature pineapple print, vividly adorning the insole and lining, embodying the essence of the Urban Islander lifestyle. Crafted with meticulous detail, the material execution is a treasure trove of premium finishes, including Hairy Suede, Woven Fabric, and 3M Reflective materials. The New Balance 580 stands as the epitome of streetwear sophistication, encapsulating the identity of the Urban Islander.
The Urban Islander + Helinox Chair 1 reimagines the classic Chair 1 with Urban Islanders' signature "pineapple" aloha print. Constructed with DAC's proprietary aluminium alloy and high-strength nylon, this limited-edition chair marries comfort and portability with a touch of tropical flair, making it a statement piece for outdoor enthusiasts and design aficionados alike.
In collaboration with Singapore-based fashion label, Ong Shunmugamās diffusion menswear line, OMBAK, the Urban Islander Collection presents a shirt + shorts set adorned with the signature "pineapple" aloha print. Crafted from lightweight linen, this ensemble effortlessly combines style and comfort, reflecting the laid-back vibes of the Urban Islander.
Drawing inspiration from the textures of rattan picnic baskets and the ambiance of tiki bars at the beach, the Urban Islander Tote is the epitome of luxury beach chic. Crafted with Woven Raffia fibre and full-grain leather, this tote is a versatile accessory that seamlessly transitions from a day at the beach to city streets, exuding elegance, and style.
A perfect foil for any sunny weather, the Urban Islander New Era 5 Panel Camper features a linen and mesh construction, thatās finished with an embroidered pineapple logo at the front and Urban Islander script at the back.
The collection would not be complete without the Urban Islander Sock, a casual cream ribbed sock featuring the collection's colourway - Cream, Sand, and Black. Embellished with an embroidered Urban Islander pineapple logo, this sock adds a touch of streetwear flair to any ensemble, ensuring comfort without compromising style.
