ADC Exhibition. flaek kaalen hi.

Last weekend, the ADC Summit took play in Frankfurt at the Fair, ADC standing for Art Directors Club (Germany).

After I found out, that the guys from flaek footwear (Oliver and Sven) also had their shoe on display at the ADC Exhibition, I had to go. There is more than a little story behind this sneaker, because this shoe is the final project of their studies. It is called kaalen hi and I already blogged about it last September. So now being able to finally check it out in person, was quiet cool.

The material felt really nice and the shoe’s design is so fresh, so clean as you can see on the pics. What you also can see is the wooden box for the sneakers as well as the interchangeable tongues on the side. Right, now they are looking for a manufacturer to make a larger production.

Obviously, the guys were not really satisfied with the way things were presented here, as you can also see Flow from Bunnypop checking out some ridiculously long home improvement bill, that was laying right next to the sneakers from another project, while the posters for the sneaker were hanging on that side of the table.

But just imagine that cart at the home impovement center with all those goods worth 3,748.20 Euros…

Anywayz, you gotta take the hat off to Oliver & Sven for pushing that far and creating their own sneaker. You can only guess, how that feels, wearing your very own snekaer on your feet!! And I’m definitely in for a pair, guys!!

Finally, here are some other projects, that stood out to me.
This right here was called Swooshed. Basically, it would allow you to personalize the swoosh for NIKEiD products by being able to upload your own graphic.

I’m definitely rooting for this as I would also for this bottle of Vodka Absolut.

Also laying around randomly were these limited posters by Pixelhure, you can get at hhv.de for instance.

And I also liked that placard right here. Not only for the design, but if you know German, you’ll get it.

The ADC Summit is also taking place in Frankfurt the next two years, so hopefully there are going to be some cool new things to check out in 2011 and 2012, too.

P.S.: They even have some BAPE stuff listed in their online store.

In other sneaker related news, German mailorder and record store hhv drops the NIKE Rivalry Pack consisting of the NIKE x DJ AM Dunk High Premium and the NIKE x DJ Premier Air Force 1 Low Premium instore this Friday, Jan 15th, at noon: Revaler Straße 9, 10245 Berlin-Friedrichshain

At around 5pm you should check their online store for what’s still left, if you are interested.

Does anybody know of other releases of those sneakers in Germany???

(UPDATE – 17:20: Overkill Shop in Berlin will get the DJ AM Dunk “within the next days”.)

And since I began this post with SoHo, New York, I’m gonna end this post with SoHo New York. Here’s itsbongoboy‘s video from the pre sale of the pack at NIKE SB’s 21 Mercer Street store. Had to laugh out lout on two intances.

Clothing Sale at hhv.de.

A few days ago I got about 100 mails from hhv.de, but – mind you! – these were not spam mails, instead it was great news. Because they send you an email to inform you about the price change of the products on your wish list. And of course, they changed them for the costumer’s benefit. So, if you are looking for some new and affordable styles from their wide range of products, the time is now. Just click on the pic.

And while you’re at it and find something for me, it’s of course very much appreciated. LOL…

My KiD CuDi fan package is complete. For now.

Hey everyone,

I’m glad to have my KiD CuDi fan package now complete with the arrival of the Deluxe Ed. of his debut album (I reported earlier about this issue).

kid cudi fan package 768x1024 My KiD CuDi fan package is complete. For now.

As you can see on the pic, my package now includes both versions of his album Man On The Moon: The End Of Day (Deluxe Ed. from hhv.de, normal version from Amazon.de, both including also the poster and “Hyyer”, the track produced by Frankfurt & Mannheim hip-hop producer Crada), the Kid Cudi Moon Face Concert Tee by Karmaloop and his Complex cover issue, thanks to the lovely Maren, who grabbed it in New York for me. Thanks again.

And always remeber: Go to DatNewCudi.com for fresh KiD CuDi news and use code CD31270 for 20%off on Karmaloop.com.

Today is a good day a.k.a. KiD CuDi album release day.

Today is really a special day with three great milestones, so I will have a post trilogy, just as the two albums, that were released on this day in Germany, are also part of a trilogy.

kid cudi man on the moon the end of day 1 1024x768 Today is a good day a.k.a. KiD CuDi album release day.

For KiD CuDi‘s debut album we get the preferential treatment compared to the US, where his album ‘Man on the Moon: The End of Day’ is due to release on September 15. I pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition on Amazon.de and look what I got in the mail this morning.

As you can see, the poster is inside. And the CD contains the Crookers Remix of Day ‘n’ Nite (by the way, a few days ago I found out about the second video for that version). So far, so good.

What was missing was the DVD, that should be in the Deluxe Edition. I checked back on the Amazon site and the page didn’t exist anymore. I wanted to call them, but then came an e-mail basically saying, that the manufacturer told them, that there won’t by any Deluxe Edition, which is shocking news to me (and maybe to you, too?). At least, I will get the remainig amount or I can send the CD back. It looks like the Deluxe Edition is available on hhv.de on September 18, so I’ll try that and hopefully get it eventually. There is even a trailer out there for the footage of the DVD, so c’mon, there has to be a Deluxe Edition. Right?? Right??

For those of you looking just for the CD, you can now get it there, too, including a limited KiD CuDi shirt. Although I must say, that there are KiD CuDi shirts out there, that rank higher in dopeness.

If you still didn’t decide to buy the album, you can have a listen here with the Album Sample by DatNewCudi.com (by the way, if you are looking for CuDi information, that’s the site right there!).

Also, ‘Blueprint 3′ dropped today in Germany, as it was originally planned in the US, too. Jay-Z will give a beneficial concert at MSG this evening, on exactly the same day ‘The Blueprint’ came out eight years ago (Yes, Sep 11, 2001). I think that is also a great advertising you can see below.

I like both albums, but I really love KiD CuDi’s album. In my opinion THE album right now! I listen to it all day. What’s your favorite?

And stay tuned for the other posts coming today.
