Ted

Field Tee — by @tednical Ted isn’t just a collaborator. He’s family. A full-time creative, founder of Bondwith, and Shawn’s friend for over a decade. He’s been part of many chapters that shaped AGAINST, from the first G-Shock collab to the Tiger project. Their conversations often circle around life, inspiration, and the dream of building brands that last. This tee is Ted’s way of honoring Shawn — a tribute to friendship, persistence, and growth. It carries the quote, “What you water today becomes the field you once only dreamed of.” Surrounding it are symbols that tell the story: the years, MY for Malaysia, the sun and water for growth, and cnlm, Shawn’s first brand that began it all. On the back, a quiet field of grass. Clean, grounded, and a reminder that when we keep showing up and continue to nurture what matters, good things take root and grow. - 2025 marks a decade of AGAINST LAB. As we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we invited some of our closest friends and long-time collaborators, including Phase2Phase, Jonnie’s Bodega, Goodtimes, Ted Lim, Monologue, HDPC, Cloakwork, EYES  to design a tee for this drop. We wanted to bring everything back to the basics, the essential in clothing: the T-shirt. The blank canvas that shaped streetwear, the foundation for expression, and the perfect medium to put personality into a graphic, illustration, or cut and sew idea. Each piece in this collection carries its own energy, interpreted by the designers through their own lens for AGAINST 10. - We are one. The collection will launch in-store at AGAINST LAB. Pudu on 21 November 2025, online at againstlab.com on 24 November 2025 (9PM MYT), with stockists releasing shortly after.

One year of Phase Space flew by! When I first met Louis, I knew he was going to bring something different into the mix. He has this instinct for pulling people together, connecting strangers through whatever medium he’s exploring. His mind is wild in the best way, always open, always moving, and never boxed in. Here’s to more real connecccction!

Starting a brand is easy. Keeping it alive for a decade takes heart. If you know Shawn, you know he’s the guy who always putting in the work, pushing the creative, and lifting people with him along the way. I’m grateful to be one of them. Not everyone remembers to thank the ones who opened the door, so I’m saying it here. Big respect. Here’s to another ten @shawnduabui @againstlab 🎉🙌

A digicam relic from 2007. Back when Canon still played around with wild ideas. #digicam #ccd #ccdsensor #canon #powershottx1 #canontx1

Screening of The Parkinsons Project last night was inspiring and calm. Much thanks to @bondwith_official @theparkinsonsprojectfilm @tednical for organising. It was truly our honour to host it at Phase Space! Directed by Jess James and featuring Chris Hamper — a teacher and climber — the film shared a powerful perspective on facing life’s challenges. Thank you to everyone who came out. I hope it left you inspired — not just by Chris’s story, but by the idea of embracing the moment rather than giving in to what you’re facing. Having fun!!! Challenge yourself. MOVE!! We hope you keep doing what you love, stay active, and continue choosing love and purpose in everything you do. ❤️

Observing the world while living in it 🌎✨

Exciting times ahead! If you don’t pulse check, you might forget.

Excited to see @ppphasetophase latest project featuring Louis’s barber, Martin! They’ve created a unique 1-of-1 cape just for him, and I love how it’s not about launching a product. It’s a showcase—an experience, a conversation, or simply a meeting of minds like this one.
