Sag es mit einem Design.

Frankfurt based store Freiraum has asked 7 designers to create some new t-shirt designs. You can vote for your favorite one on the PRINZ website (a big German city magazine for all mayor cities) and finally buy the winner shirt (limited edition) in May at Freiraum. Profits go to a good cause benefiting homeless and needy people in Frankfurt. In addition, you have the chance to win a voucher worth 25€ for Freiraum or even a winner shirt. So, everything speaks for going ahead and take part, right?

Here are the designs:

You can vote for your favorite design here and enter the lottery for a voucher or a shirt here.

Good luck.

Sneaker March Madness.

For those of you, that can’t get enough of March Madness (by the way, you can watch the games here for free) or those that may not be interested at all, there is a Sneaker March Madness going on at SneakerNews.com.

march madness sneakers round 2 300x200 Sneaker March Madness.

Round 1 is already completed and many choices were obvious. The only hard decision for me was between the Air Jordan V and Air Jordan VI. Even though I don’t own any VI’s yet, I went with them because of the Infrared Pack, that is said to be dropping this year, but the V’s survived the first round. But I can’t believe the Air Max 90′s didn’t make it to the second round. Biggest upset in my opinion. And about the AF1′s I honestly didn’t care, because I don’t do AF1′s.

So, here are my choices in bold for Round 2, as they become much more harder:

DUNK SB
MATCHUP #1: [1] PIGEON vs. [4] HEINEKEN

I also really like the Heineken one, but I don’t think the shoe made it to CBS news.
MATCHUP #2: [2] TIFFANY vs. [3] SUPREME LOW
No brainer for me.

NIKE CLASSICS
> MATCHUP #1: [1] AIR MAX 1 vs. [5] AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE

After landing the biggest upset in Round 1, the Foamposite One cannot continue its Cinderella Story. 
> MATCHUP #2: [2] AIR TRAINER 1 vs. [3] AIR MAX 95

I also gotta go with the Air Trainer 1 here, because that’s probably the shoe most people outside the sneaker scene approched me about. Not saying they all were sane, though.

AIR FORCE 1
> MATCHUP #1: [1] STASH vs. [4] WHITE ON WHITE
> MATCHUP #2: [2] PLAYSTATION vs. [6] KAWS

Don’t really care, but I’m rooting for the underdogs here. White on white is just classic and KAWS is KAWS.

AIR JORDAN
> MATCHUP #1: [1] AIR JORDAN III vs. [4] AIR JORDAN V
I rock the III’s every other day, so they get the nod, but I might underestimate the V’s again.
> MATCHUP #2: [2] AIR JORDAN XI vs. [3] AIR JORDAN IV
No matter how much I like my black/red IV’s, it’s the Space Jam Jordans after all, you know?

What are your choices?

Aaaaand…. did you realize these were all NIKE kicks?!??

NY-Z.

As I saw the trailer a few weeks ago, I already couldn’t wait for this little documentary NY-Z by director Danny Clinch, which is centered around Jay-Z‘s benefit concert at Madison Square Garden last year. It’s a little different from what I first expected, because it’s not all about the concert itself. That’s truly great, because it was nice to see something unexpected, combined with really dope visuals in this video.

From bricks to billboards. From Marcy to Madison Square. Enjoy.

As there is not much original concert content in it, I highly recommend to watch the complete concert from Sep, 11th, if you haven’t yet, so you can get an idea of the energy in the building as well as how Jay-Z connects with his audience. Especially how he does at the end – that’s what really standed out for me.

R.O.C.

Nintendo Paper GameBoy

Almost everyone I know at least played the Nintendo GameBoy once and I am still a big fan of the original “brick” that moves pixels on a greenish black and white screen. I still remember my birthday when I first got my GameBoy good memories !

The french design studio zim and zou seem to take their memories of the GameBoy a step further and designed an all out of paper GameBoy.
Check out the pictures even the game cartridge is made all out of paper!

Egyptian hip-hop.

As my previous post indicated, I’m finally back after all those exams and some time off to get some things done (and also some partying, I have to admit). Anywayz, I’m ready like spaghetti, so I want to share two Egyptian hip-hop music videos with you, that my friend Ahmed from Cairo sent me some time ago, because as he told me that’s also the topic of the music: Party & be happy.

By the way, I also used some parts of the first track for my Cairo video.

You don’t wanna mess with a gas pump!

The test period at university is occupying almost all of my time right now. (Therefore no posts in the last weeks from me. Sorry!!!)

But after a written test this morning, this was a heck of an e-mail to get, because it really uplifted my mood (Propz go out to the sender). So, me thinks the best thing is to share it with you, so maybe it could have the same effect for you. Or at least, it’ll just give you a good laugh.

*Two aliens*

Two aliens landed in the Arizona desert near a gas station that was closed for the night. They approached one of the gas pumps and the younger alien addressed it saying, ‘Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Take us to your leader.’

The gas pump, of course, didn’t respond.

Bild 18 300x200 You dont wanna mess with a gas pump!

The younger alien became angry at the lack of response. The older alien said, ‘I’d calm down if I were you.’ The younger alien ignored the warning and repeated his greeting. Again, there was no response.

Annoyed by what he perceived to be the pump’s haughty attitude, he drew his ray gun and said impatiently, ‘Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace. Do not ignore us this way! Take us to your leader or I will fire!’

The older alien again warned his comrade saying, ‘You probably don’t want to do that! I really don’t think you should make him mad’.

‘Rubbish,’ replied the cocky, young alien. He aimed his weapon at the pump and opened fire.

There was a huge explosion. A massive fireball roared towards them and blew the younger alien off his feet and deposited him a burnt, smoking mess about 200 yards away in a cactus patch.

Half an hour passed. When he finally regained consciousness, he refocused his three eyes, straightened his bent antenna, and looked dazedly at the older, wiser alien who was standing over him shaking his big, green head. ‘What a ferocious creature!’ exclaimed the young, fried alien. ‘He damn near killed me! How did you know he was so dangerous?’

The older alien leaned over, placed a friendly feeler on his crispy friend and replied, ‘If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my intergalactic travels, you don’t want to mess with a guy who can loop his penis over his shoulder twice and then stick it in his ear.
