Viele haben sicher schon den Trailer zu “JORDAN’S & A GOLD CHAIN“ gesehen, und sich bestimmt auch gedacht, dass es etwas mit Musik zu tun hat. Richtig gedacht! Doch, das ist noch nicht alles, denn es wird auch ein limitiertes T-Shirt dazu geben! Dazu wollen wir euch heute das Logo präsentieren.
Am Montag kommt DJ Stephs gleichnamiges Mixtape über RUN FFM raus – zusammen mit 50 limitierten T-Shirts!! Logo & Layout stammen von Mirko a.k.a. Air Fuss One. Als besondere Zugabe gibt es für alle Besteller des T-Shirts das Mixtape auch noch als “Hard Copy” auf CD dazu.
Und wie sollte es anders sein, ist das Shirt (inkl. Mixtape-CD) für 23€ zu haben. :)
Als ich heute Morgen wie üblich meine twitter-Timeline gecheckt habe, bin ich sofort auf dieses überdope Outfit von Theophilus London gestoßen, denn er schrieb dazu “Looks like I sell drugs In 82″ – @TheophilusL
Für mich das beste Outfit jemals, das mit den Space Jams zusammen gerockt wurde!!!!
Diese Mütze findet ihr auch passenderweise in seinem gerade erschienenen Video zu seiner Single ‘I Stand Alone’ – übrigens auch der Titelsong zur neuen ‘How To Make It In America’-Staffel – neben ein paar Cowboyhüten & Pelzmänteln wieder. Inspiriert ist es wohl von dem Film ‘True Stories’ aus dem Jahre 1986.
“You never talk no more. All you do is sing.” Warum auch nicht??
This is just too good to not post it here again after we posted it yesterday on Facebook & twitter alreadyyy… Have a look at this incredible collection of sneakers: ShoeZeum. Thx to Jackmode for sharing!
I read somewhere, that these are also all size 11s & 12s. Which makes us go even more crazy. DJ Steph put it right, that he should’ve shown some more of the Jordans, but then I found this video right here.
Wow. Just saw this incredible good video for Macklemore‘s song ‘Wings’ over on sneakerb0b‘s blog. The story of the song captures so many aspects of sneakerism and lets you really think about it. A definite must-see!!
Normally I wouldn’t have left the house today, because I have to study, but I joined DJ Steph (@deejaysteph) spontaneously on Radio Soultrain on Radio X and we did the last hour of the show today. Had to bring some heat – not only on the musical side of things.
I have really been a Gilbert Arenas fan since his days as a Golden State Warrior, as soon as I read a story about him growing up under harsh circumstances, namely sleeping for a period of time in the car of his dad, about him not getting any respect, when he entered college and made it to the NBA (thus choosing the number 0, because that’s the amount of minutes that “everyone” thought he would get). He even felt he was so bad (WHILE HE WAS ALREADY AN NBA PLAYER!), that he joined a local church league in San Francisco. Until the Warriors got word of it, of course. Then in his Wizard days he hit a whole array of incredible buzzer beaters with his not-to-be-destroyed confidence, he also had his super entertaining blog on NBA.com, his own adidas signature sneakers and so on.
Then came the troubles in the last few years culminating in a gun incident, and so he entered the season without a shoe deal, but that way he was able to rock whatever dope kicks he wanted to. This included lots of J’s (like the Space Jams pictured below) and even a pair of Dolce&Gabbana shoes in a game against the Lakers.
That’s the biggest dream for a sneaker head to showcase them at that stage, so even if his team got eliminated from the Playoffs, this makes him the ultimate SNEAKER CHAMP. That’s also his twitter name by the way: @thesneakerchamp and it’s all about the sneakers!!! You can also check which sneakers he wore for every game during the 2010-2011 NBA season on this site. Also SLAMonline.com has a nice gallery here.
And all of this really makes him someone to absolutely cheer for. At least to me.
To finally put an end on the Berlin posts I’m gonna show you, what I picked up during my stay there and we’ll move on with some more fun in the next few days, aight? :)
I really didn’t want to buy sneakers this time, but I didn’t know that the Air Jordan IX were 50% off at NIKETOWN, so I just had to.
Notice the “athletisch” on there :) Does anybody know what these other languages are??
There’s also something German on the right shoe: “anmutig”.
I also only noticed this glitter stuff, when I opened them at home. Funny. It somehow reminds me of the floor in the first modern busses we got in Frankfurt back in the 90s, because I was so amazed by it back then as a little kid.
Then, I also got me a shirt at the Civilist store by P.A.M., which is an Australian brand that I didn’t know of before, but I immediately fell for this design.
The backside.
At Firmament I discovered this Stüssy beanie, that perfectly goes along with the warm-up suit of my basketball team. I also got me some matching socks in other stores, but I will save them for our last game this year and rock them in Kronberg on Dec, 19th.
Gloves. This was a huge success, because last winter I didn’t have any gloves anymore. Don’t know, where they vanished, but I’m good for this year. And they were quiet helpful alreadyyy for the first snowball fights.
More shoes?? Yes, but little ones that I found at OVERKILL. This are the Tiffany Dunks and some Air Jordan I’s.
Here they are together with their big brother.
If you are in Berlin, I definitely recommend to check out the area around Torstraße. You will find SOTO, Firmament, Civilist, No.74, WOOD WOOD there among others. They even have this little cards to help you get around. OVERKILL was really some kind of overkill, because they had some dope stuff on display, so I most definitely recommend to go there, too. It’s in Kreuzberg.
With the weather being quite nice right now, I decided to go to the river Main, that flows through Frankfurt (therefore: FrankFurt am Main => FFM and so on…). While most of the people hang out at the river in the city, it is also really beautiful out here in Höchst, where I currently live. So don’t tell me I didn’t tell you!!! You got no more excuses. :)
But the real beautiful thing in my eyes are the shirt and the sweater by WOOD WOOD x ellesse, don’t you agree??? I coped them at Market41 last week. Limited to 1000 pieces each. And needless to say that I need to buy nearly everything with an A on it.
This is my favorite spot in Höchst!! I spent every day there last summer. They are open until Oct 3rd this year and will open again next year in April or something: Alte Schiffsmeldestelle – Batterie, Frankfurt-Höchst – www.schiffsmeldestelle.eu
And yeah, had to get the “regular” WOOD WOOD shirt as well.
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.
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?!??
This year is incredible so far for Jordan Brand with all the different retro releases like the oreos, motorsports, AJKO’s etc. but this one is really a must buy.
There has been alot of rumors around the web but now I think its official that Jordan Brand will release an Air Jordan VI Infrared Pack for June 2010.
After I got the Air Jordan XI Space Jams back in December, I just had to get this sweatshirt by UNDRCRWN, which is inspired by the sneakers. So here’s what the astronaut looks like with the real shoes.
And the original design.
The Official Brand for CHAMPIONS.
UNDRCRWN has many nice basketball related items – plus other great stuff – and already a few years ago now, they did this collaboration with adidas on the Gil Zero. I love Gil and I love those shoes. Only after I wanted to send some information on them to Chrishimself recently, I found out that they are even limited to 750 pairs worldwide.
You feel like walking on the hardwood.
Apparently, this player card should be included with the shoes, but I guess mine was lost somewhere in between. Meaning, someone at the customs station stole it!
Please read this card carefully, because the last two sentences are as true as ever today. I am really pulling for Arenas to get back on the right track.
