The guys from SNEAKERIZED (also check our previous post) returned from this year’s Sneakerness in Vienna with a nice little video that shows us what was going on there. Of course, sneakers of all brands and eras had been on display and also for sale, but also t-shirts, skate boards and street art. Bobbito even made his way to Austria as you can see in the videos, presenting his new model with Pro-Keds.
Through SNEAKERIZED I also found a link to Gaby Zwaan’s site, who made his own video. He has some incredible pieces of art. For real. Go and check out some of these here. Hopefully, we will have some more from him soon here on RUN FFM.
SNEAKERIZED and fm4 also have some more pics for you.
It seems, that the next Sneakerness is going to be held in Germany in 2010, so I definitely think we shouldn’t miss out on all the fun next year.

Or university to be exact. For that special occasion tomorrow and in order to extra motivate me, I grabbed this backpack by Eastpak, done in collaboration with British design duo Eley Kishimoto.
It had been hanging on my wardrobe for quite some time now, after I found it on oki-ni.com. Only 1000 units of each product (overview here) were made, but were still affordable. And according to the label this backpack even should be able to carry my laptop. Great news, hehe…
Included in the package was this special paper bag, an Eastpak Eley Kishimoto pin and also a very big bag by oki-ni.
So, lets hope my studies will benefit from my new backpack. :-)

Just finished watching a documentary called Toypunks, now what could that be?
Well the name suggests 50% Toys and 50% Punk and thats exactly what it is about, filled with interviews with noneother than the Bounty Hunter founder himself Hikaru Iwanaga, Frank Kozik and Secret Base founder Hiddy and some more.
You will get some insight into how urban vinyl came about and what was considered the first “design toy”.
Also inspiration for older and current design toys and the collectability of “UV” is explained well in this documentary.
They are currently producing the second volume and you can check out their production blog right here.

Got this designbook recently and thought its amazing, if you have ever seen one of the bape stores in real life I’m pretty sure you will spot them in this book again. But did you ever wonder who was responsible for all this?
Masamichi Katayama is the architect behind all these stores.
I think more shops / flagship stores should put more effort into their interior design and overall architecture, I have been to the Bape Stores in HK and in a few of the Tokyo Stores plus the BBC / Ice Cream stores and I must say it has always been an experience and sometimes also a bit confusing. Especially the BBC/Ice Cream (rocket) store in HK was nice.
You should also check out this interview clip with Masamichi Katayama by the BBC show “Counter-Culture”.

We went out and about in Frankfurt/Main, Germany and created a little VLOG from random places we have gone the last few days have fun watching and hope you enjoy the video!
We are also planning some exciting stuff maybe you can tell from the video (only in german) but theres going to be some major changes for 2010, I can’t tell you too much by now but stay tuned as we will reveal more and more soon :).
Oh and thanks to the guy who designed those RUN FFM T-Shirts (LOL !) as they fit our blog perfectly.
We have a fanbase huh? ;).

Thanks again.
