Today marks the day we first posted something on this domain RUNFFM.COM
That was one year ago, when we started this blog we just thought that it would be a nice idea to have something like a scrapbook online where we just file everything that we find in some way interesting, cool or inspirational.
For us that is sneakers, gaming, design, art, music, toys, movies, travelling, photography, videos, filmmaking, sports and alot more too much to mention.
Its basically our brains splattert accross this blog haha.
We will keep that spirit up and also do our best to step it up a notch for 2010 !
Also we made posts about our trips to different countries like the USA, Egypt and Japan.
Make sure to check out our 2009 round up post on our travels or just browse through our archives for the liveblogging experience.
About travel blogging I will soon visit Tokyo again and I’ll make sure to put up some vlogs too in the usual fashion, this time I will try to focus more on retro gaming in Japan since I’m a big fan of old videogames and videogame systems, especially the ones that never came out in our area.
I also want to thank the people that supported our blog and to everyone who helped spreading the word on facebook! Also big thanks for everyone who posted a link to our page recently.
That is much appreciated and dont be a stranger say hi sometimes!
Just real quick. These New Era Frankfurt caps featuring our beautiful skyline have been around for some time now and of course I grabbed one a few years back, but I discovered that KICKZ has some still for sale, so here’s your second chance.
Last weekend, Freiraum Frankfurt held a charity event in their store. Limited pocket flasks by Finlandia Vodka in five different designs were for sale benefiting drinking water projects in Kenia. Before I saw them, I figured that I am (1) not old enough or (2) not desperate enough for something like this, but they looked really cool, so I had to get one. You never now, right?? ;-)
This one is designed by Viva con Agua and combines different symbols of water and life.
Thanks to Adrian for this nice little party with good vibes, good people and good drinks for a good cause!!! Hopefully more of these in the future.
Oh, and it also came with a little bottle of Finlandia Vodka. Drink responsible, it reads. But most of all: Drink in style.
I didn’t film too much with my new Kodak Zi-6, because I often just forgot to. There were so many booths to check out and we met and talked to some cool people, too. I just randomly walked into Flo, who designed our stickers, we got just in time for this weekend, so what you saw in the video was really the world premiere of our sticker. Of course, we talked to the always friendly people from A-Game, who distribute The Hundreds plus some more brands including Sixpack France & UNDRCRWN in Germany (Thanks for the dope stickers!). Also Chris from Beastin was mad beastin as we walked into him, while being nice to talk to. And we met Robert from Freebase Sneakers as well and got some updates. Stay tuned for those!!!
Anywayz I think it’s a nice little video including a classic opening and at the end a Swedish shoutout for Unbreakable, who all were also very cool to us.
It’s just sad to see the Bright Tradeshow move to Berlin now. As one exhibitor put it correctly: “Everyone can do Berlin, but not everyone can do Frankfurt.” Worrrrrrrd!!!
Hey like last year we went out to see the latest in streetwear at the Bright Tradeshow in Frankfurt am Main.
It was held at the old police department building in Frankfurt same like last year, actually this is going to be the last time the tradeshow will be hosted by the city of Frankfurt since it will move to Berlin.
For us locals its sad to hear that another institution of the local streetwear and skatescene is moving to another city that already has big tradeshows like bread and butter, but what can you do.
Anyways heres some shots of our visit today, I think we will also have a little videoclip ready sometime next week since Andi (RUNFFM theballatician) recorded some scenes with his new hd cam while we were roaming around the building.
I had something in mind, when I posted that ‘ALLES AUSSER FRANKFURT IST SCHEISSE‘ shirt yesterday. (By the way, the only reasonable translation of that would be ‘FRANKFURT IS THE SHIT’, which is just the complete opposite, if you translate that literally!)
So after we learned, that Frankfurt/Mannheim based Crada produced KiD CuDi’s sond Hyyer for his debut album, we got some more news of that kind for you, because there is also a ‘Frankfurter Bub’ on Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3. Yap, who would have thought???
Every day a star is born, clap for ‘em, clap for ‘em, clap for ‘em: J.Cole it is (featured on the song A Star Is Born)!!! I was made aware of the fact that he was born in Frankfurt by this post on Dodger Hightop, where you can listen to the song that reportedly got him the first deal for an artist on Jay-Z’s new label RocNation. More evidence on JCole’s fan site and his Wikipedia. And for now we will ignore the fact, that he moved back to the USA at the age of 1.
The first person to introduce me to J.Cole was my best friend Ben, who sent me this trailer for his mixtape The Warm Up. Since it was so simple, but still symbolic for stages in your life, we could relate to it not only for basketball reasons.
For more go to his website as I will close this post with this dope video for his song Simba, also shot by BBGUN.
And I wonder, who is the next one that was born in Frankfurt, we may not have heard about yet???
I just wanted to make you aware of some shopping opportunities today.
First of all, Freebase Sneakersposted a pic one hour ago of the backstock of the NIKE Air Pegasus 89 Berlin (Quickstrike release), that arrived at their store today. So, if you missed your chance head over to their store (Peterstr. 2, 60313 Frankfurt/Main – open: Mon-Fri: 11-20h, Sat: 11-18h), call them (+49 69 13376255) or try it online (www.freebase-sneakers.com) and grab your pair for 119,90€.
Then, KICKZ.com did the incredibly and set the price for the Air Jordan 3 True Blues as part of their Advent calender special for today only at 99,90€ . Surprisingly, as they have still many “good” sizes to offer.
And last but not least, we can now offer you the comforts of our own online shop, where you can exclusively get the WE RUN FFM T-Shirt at. We offer two colorways and free shipping for your order in Germany. Price is 35€.
You also can get to our shop at any time by clicking on the little image on top of the right side.
Format67 is a group of guys who shoot videos of cars. Nothing spectacular, you might say, but then you haven’t seen their work.
My friend Flo is also part of Format67 and I was amazed when he showed me this video of a Ferrari F430 driving trought the nightly streets of Frankfurt. Not only do the shots of the Frankfurt skyline at night give me chills, but the running horse just made it perfect.
For a Making Of and some pictures, visit this link – for similar videos please visit Format67’s Vimeo site.
Like some of you have already seen on facebook.com/runffm we are currently endorsing this T-Shirt via our Blog.
We still have to figure out how to make it easy for you guys to order them and unfortunately we can only offer to ship them within germany (for now at least).

Hey, today we went to a little event called Fashion City West in Frankfurt am Main.
It was a sunday we had nothing else to do and a little time on our hands, the event was free and so we thought we should drop by and give it a quick run.
The only interesting thing at this fair/trade show was probably the booth of Freebase Records/Sneakers and we got the chance to check out some of their newest Nike quickstrike releases including the Parra Air Maxim 1+ and the Cassette Playa Dunk High, shoutouts to Robert of Freebase Sneakers at this point.
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.
