Wandering #5 (March 2019) is a beautifully shot, design-forward Asian skate magazine that merges art, travel, and skateboarding into one cohesive visual journey. Rooted in the independent spirit of Asia’s underground skate scenes, this issue reflects how skate culture there has matured — blending local flavor with a global creative mindset.
The fifth issue explores urban environments across Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, presenting them not just as backdrops but as living, breathing spaces shaped by the skaters who move through them. Expect cinematic photography, minimalist layouts, and thoughtful storytelling that capture the rhythm of modern Asian cities — from quiet alleyway sessions to full-crew tours in dense concrete landscapes.
Editorially, Wandering #5 continues its focus on skaters as artists and travelers, with interviews and photo essays that dig into how design, architecture, and style influence the act of skating. There’s a distinct emphasis on community and connection — how small crews are building their own DIY scenes, brands, and creative projects outside the Western mainstream.
Overall, it’s an aesthetic, reflective issue — a testament to how skateboarding in Asia has developed its own voice: worldly, poetic, and driven by the beauty of wandering itself.
