Nike x Hiroshi Fujiwara Zoom Tennis Classic
A new add to my collection are the Nike x HF Zoom Tennis Classic that were released around Fall/Winter of last year. The HF stands for Hiroshi Fujiwara one of the most influential designers on earth!. I’m a fan of classic sneakers and you would be suprised how much detail goes into such a simple classic. Check out the pictures below click them for a better view. I was lucky to find a pair in my size on pickyourshoes.com but prepare to pay a little premium to the list price because these are strictly limited and some places dont have them in stock anymore, at least not in various sizes. They come in 4 different colors (Plat/Red/Green/Royal).
Oh and if you ever wondered I usually take the pictures with a Canon EOS 450D (DSLR) all pictures here except for the group shot are made by myself with the Canon EOS. Click on the the read rest of the story for more pics!

NIKE x ASSZ Dunk Low.
Please check out this new collaboration shoe… OK, so it’s not really a collabo, but with the possibilities of NIKEiD I created my own NIKE Dunk Low.
For the colors, I chose blue for the sky and yellow for the sun. These shoes are strictly for the summer!!
Additionally, I could inscribe the inner and outter surface. ASSZ obvioulsy stands for my name and on the inner side my hometown of Frankfurt is represented.

A Bathing Ape – Bape Roadstas
This time I am featuring the A Bathing Ape – Bape Roadstas in the classic and nice black and white colorway. As you can see the Roadstas have the air pocket and are pretty much based on the Nike Air Max 90 model. The details are just simply stunning we have a nice sole with the Bapestar logos, the big Bapestar on the sides, small detailed bape prints on the inside of the air bubble, stitched Bapestars on the heel and stitched Bapesta logoprint on the tongue plus a detailed written message on the backside of the tongue. Its just a simple and nice design and a must have for every sneakerhead!. Check out Pondon and Pondon’s Webstore for legit Bape stuff!

Tokyo Maniacs Guide
I got this Tokyo guidebook in the mail today, its not an ordinary Tokyo guidebook though.
The title already pretty much gives it away its called the Tokyo Maniacs Guide, this book is extraordinary ;-)
All bilingual for you in english and japanese this book gives you insider tipps on locations in Tokyo that are worth a check out if you are into not so “normal” things.
This book is going to help me with the research on japanese popculture and my documentary on it, that is scheduled for shoot this august.
If you want it the only place to order it is YESASIA , more pictures after the jump!.

The Hundreds Johnson Mid
I was lucky to get another pair of The Hundreds Johnson Mid in size 11. The Hundreds recently released their new line of sneakers a few weeks ago but I was still looking for the last season black design of the Johnson Mid, and was lucky to find one at KICKZ, it was actually the last pair in size 11 they had :).
Check out more detailed pictures after the jump!.
Neighborhood
Went out for a walk around the block yesterday and shot some neighborhood impressions with the small mini dv camera that I have. Nothing really fancy or special made this little 24sec clip just to test some stuff out hope you enjoy it anyway :).
Songbit is from DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist – The Hard Sell.

2 Videos. 1 Song. Day ‘N’ Nite.
Again a music post, but after hearing that song of one of my favorite artits right now for the first in the club last week, I thought I should give it some props, too. Already labeled the – excuse my German – Überhit right now, the videos to KiD CuDi‘s Day ‘N’ Nite are nothing short of any expectations.
This video for the Crookers version was the first one to appear on the scene. CuDi is working at a 24 hours super market and funny things happen.
Then this video featuring the original version of the song popped up. Also some strange things occur.
CuDi seems to really enjoy his own work, plus his personality and all these ill beats make him an artist to follow in the near future, as he is also signed to Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. Music.
BONUS: The acapella version by De grote Vinnie, Donnie & Sjakie show! Yes, that’s obviously their name and they are “bekend van 3FM”! (Download via Mad Decent)

Nigo of A Bathing Ape
If you have ever wondered how Nigo the founder of the brand A Bathing Ape lives you have got the chance to check out this exclusive interview with the man himself. His place is a mad playground all these collectables and artworks everywhere, I love it. Watch it, this time its even in ENGLISH ! haha its a weird dubbed version but its okay at least you understand it without knowing how to speak japanese.

NIKE Air Classic BW 2009 colorways
NIKE has some hot colorways for this shoe in 2009. Here are my favorites. I recommend that you go go out and get them all three*.
The Persian Violet
This is in my opinion the hottest one and one of the original colorways. I got mine already from the guys over at hhv.de. They are just waiting for the summer to arrive.
