Aglet – Dave Hooper

Have a good time, all the time

The line “Have a good time, all the time” was a line uttered by the character Viv Savage in the movie This is Spinal Tap. During the closing credits, Viv Savage is asked his philosophy of life and replies “Have a good time…all the time. That’s my philosophy, Marty.”. It’s one of my favourite lines from one of my favourite movies,...

Aglet Grind ‘Daverunner’

Sneaker Story As most of you know, daverunner knows all about the grind. His entire being is all about grinding. Whether it’s grinding out deals, or just getting his immense, Sisyphean workload completed, the grind is just a part of life. So with that in mind, the Aglet Grind DAVERUNNER was born. Featuring the much-loved colorway from the original DAVERUNNER,...

Aglet One ‘Daverunner GA’

Sneaker Story Super exclusive, this Gold Aglet DAVERUNNER was originally going to be called “Friends and Family”. But then the team realised that daverunner has no friends, and his family have no interest in shoes. So that idea was canned, and it became a GA instead. Whatever the genesis, we’re sure you’ll agree that the combination of black, plus Aussie-themed...

Aglet Socks ’N’ Slides ‘HOT DAVES’

Hot Daves In Your Area Now As part of a weekly promotion, our in-house illustrator Jordan created this fun take on an old-school internet pop-up ad, spoofing the “Hot babes in your area now” and used an avatar version of me and modified the text to “Hot Daves in your area now”. Over time, this image was used in several...

Daverunner origin story

In March 2020 the COVID pandemic caused severe lockdowns in Melbourne, Australia, where I live. I couldn’t continue working as a Real Estate Salesperson any longer, as I wasn’t permitted to leave the local area much at all. In April 2020 I started working at Onlife, which had at that time just released a mobile phone game called Aglet. The...

Aglet One Low White Gum

The final release of the four Aglet One Low’s was the White Gum. Released in September 2023, these shoes sadly didn’t sell well. By that time Aglet had released the other three colorways in quick succession, and with supply chain issues having delayed the other deliveries, buyers were unwilling to part with their cash yet again.

The Garrixon Zoo Shoe

As part of my role with Aglet, I got access to some pretty amazing stuff. Aglet teamed with Garrixon to assist in the production of the Aglet One Low shoes. At the time of writing three of these shoes have been released, the Aglet One Low OG, The Aglet One Low Daverunner, and the Aglet One Low Black Gum. I...

Aglet Velcro DAVEHOPPER

The origin of the DAVEHOPPER One of the exciting elements of Aglet was our Aglet Creators. We provided our players with blank “Tech Packs” and allowed them to get creative, designing all manor of weird and wonderful show designs. In February 2023 I developed a severe foot infection. It developed over a few weeks and worsened during a trip to...

Aglet One Daverunner ‘Flannel’

Dubbed ‘Flannel,’ this colorway features a black and gray upper that’s accented by blue plaid flannel overlays. The white midsole features Dave’s personalized Daverunner tag. Rounding out...

Daverunner ‘Banned’

Origin The ‘Banned Daverunner’ was originally created by Aglet in-house illustrator Dan soon after the initial release of the original Daverunner.

It had Australian flag tongue and laces, and had a cigarette and smoke forming a second ‘swoosh’ shape. It...

Aglet One High ‘Daverunner White’

Origin Many players within the Aglet community went over and above on regular occasions. They would do things to help out other players, like buying their early (less valuable) shoes for highly inflated prices to give them a leg up, or they would ‘cop’ a very desirable shoe on behalf of another player, and then give it to them without...

Aglet Grind ‘Davebot’

Sneaker Story A tribute to our beloved Dave, Typical’s entry in the 2021 Creators Month Design Contest is a DaveRunner-inspired take on the Aglet Grind appropriately named “Davebot.” The name derives from a Discord joke about how Dave is seemingly always online to answer questions, almost like he’s a bot. Building off this joke, this sneaker features a robot-theme throughout...

AFL ‘ Western Bulldogs’

Origin One of the great things about Aglet was the ability to be creative. We released literally thousands of shoe designs over our 4 year journey, and one that I was very passionate about was recognising the AFL Grand Final. So prior to the 2021 Grand Final we released a small quantity of 300 each of Melbourne Demons and Western...
