NIKE Zoom Kobe VI Black History Month.

theballatician — Wed, 04 May 2011 11:50:24 +0000

Yesterday I wrote about the sneakers of Agent Uno (a.k.a. Gilbert Arenas a.k.a. Sneaker Champ), today I’ll write about @AgentFFM’s latest pair of sneakers, that he might be playing in right now during today’s university tournament as the go-to guy for our team of Frankfurt’s Goethe University.

Yeah, he was able to snatch a pair of NIKE Zoom Kobe VI’s. And not just any pair. A pair of the limited Black History Month Edition!! They are really looking even better in person!

Overcome the odds.
Make an impact on your sport.
Change the world.

Anything else?!?

A call to greatness.

Yap!

Wish us luck, but I don’t think that there will be any problem with those kind of kicks! :)

Urban Vinyl : Mindstyle x Disney x Manny Pacquiao

chrishimself — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 17:00:38 +0000

This is the latest collaboration that “The Pacman” is in and I’m pretty sure that this is probably the coolest one (aside from the Nike Air Trainers maybe).
Urban Vinyl Toymakers MINDStyle worked together with Disney and Team Pacquiao to build these amazing collectable urban vinyl figures.

Mark B. who is currently in Manila and doing research for RUNFFM.com on pop-/subcultural events in the Philippines send us a few pictures from the items at the Team Pacquiao store in Manila.

The set sells for 25.000 peso (about ~415€) and is limited to only 300 pieces worldwide.

They also have a T-Shirt for about 1500 peso.

The Team Pacquiao store is located at Robinsons Place Ermita.

Check out Mindstyle http://www.mindstyle.com/ and their blog.

Big thanks to Mark B. as always!

Cheers from London, Part 1.

Hey everybody,

Cheers from London!! I got here yesterday by the Eurostar train, that runs under the English Channel. I really wanted to experience this, but I’m glad to travel home by plane after all. I finally got to my hostel somehow and met up with Dani, who I went to school with. She has been living here for some months now alreadyyyyy. I catched the last minutes of the Champions League match between Arsenal and Barça and what can I say… After I entered the pub, Arsenal scored two goals. After that, she and her roommate took me to some nice bakeries and also to a cool pub. Dani even wore some OG Adidas sneakers, that her grandma used to rock in the 70s, but due to all the talking and laughing I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of them.

So, here’s the first pic for you: Tower Bridge & me. I have to admit, that I wasn’t feeling too well this morning, but anywayz…

The first thing I bought is easily the most useful of all the things I bought today, but also the most unspectacular one.

Anywayz, I got on the tube to Putney Bridge to check out one of Simon‘s practices with the Oxford eight. The Boat Race on Saturday between Oxford and Cambridge is why I made this trip. Here he is with the white cap.

Oh, and by the way, they even have the Oxford University Boat Club seal on their rubber botts. Now, that’s style!! After the practice I made my way to Soho. First stop was the BAPE store, where the staff was so amazingly friendly. I got me this coin case, because, you know, when you get the chance to go into a BAPE store…

BAPE store, 4 Upper James Street, Soho, London, UK – eu.bape.com

Not far away is Carnaby Street, where you’ll find also some nice shops. I went into the WeSC store and came out with these limited edition headphones, including a matching Be@rbrick and also some sort of bag, also in the same colours.

I was already thinking for months now about getting those, but: Dani, you’re right!! I can’t stop listening to music right now!!! So good.

WeSC store, 43 Carnaby Street, Soho, London, UK – www.wesc.com

I also went into size? and they really have a good variety of sneakers, but it was too crowded for my taste.

size?, 33-34 Carnaby Street, Soho, London, UK – size.co.uk

In the streets nearby I also discovered this cool store dedicated to Lomo cams.

Lomography, 3, Newburgh Street, Soho, London, UK – www.lomography.com

After some more stores, but I won’t get into it, I decided it was finally time to eat something. I remembered that crazy restaurant located in Soho, so I went there. The food was tasty, the waiters were super friendly and the whole thing was a cool experience, as you order everything by clicking on the table. I hope you’ll understand in my final video.

I also did the photo shooting for my WeSC headphones and the BAPE coin case on my table (go back and check the pics again!) as the menu and images are all projected onto the table. Oh, and Diddy, they also serve Ciroc there.

inamo Restaurant & Bar, 134-136 Wardour Street, Soho, London, UK – www.inamo-restaurant.com

I’ll go to bed now, but I’ll keep you posted. Happy Easter!

Sag es mit einem Design.

theballatician — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:18:05 +0000

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.

UNDRCRWN x Space Jam Jordans.

theballatician — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:00:09 +0000

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.

pure flask @ Freiraum Frankfurt.

theballatician — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:59:36 +0000

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.

Back to school.

theballatician — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:02:19 +0000

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. :-)

about.

theballatician — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:26:19 +0000

This post is about the about Sneaker Book (written in German).

It’s not your normal sneaker book as the two authors Oliver Krämer and Carsten Franke portray sneakerheads and collectors. You will find out some kool things, like one guy interrupting sex with his girlfriend, because an eBay auction was about to end (he won it!) or another one outbidding Roger Federer over the phone for a pair of Nike Air Max 1 41.

In between are also some well done illustrations…

…and at the end a few stores are presented like asphaltgold in Darmstadt, right next to Frankfurt.

You still can get this limited book (1st release was 150, now the 2nd is said to be 100) at hhv.de.

Glow In The Dark, little Companion!

theballatician — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:35:24 +0000

I got some new things in the last days, but I wanna start with these items, because they are my first Original Fake items I – now – possess: two little Companions!! To be exact, little Campnion Keychain Pendants, but I’m still undecided on if I will use them for my keyring.

A big applause goes out to the people over at THE-GLADE for the easy handling and the patience they had with me. And check this: If you look closely, they even have two KAWS crosses on the top of the envelope. ;-)

But now we’ll get to those two bad boys (click to enlarge)…

Unfortunately for you, there are no more Original Fake Companion Keychain Pendants left, but please make sure to pay www.the-glade.com a visit, because they have some more kool stuff in their store.

Nike Court Force Low Koinobori 鯉幟

chrishimself — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:44:54 +0000

Hey today I’ve got some rather exotic Nike sneakers. Its the Nike Court Force Koinobori Edition.
Limited release in Japan only, the Nike Koinobori resembles the koi carp banner / windsocks that you will usually see during the japanese holiday called the “Childrens Day” (Kodomo no hi) which takes place on every 5th of May. Check out Wikipedia for more info on the Koinobori.

more pictures after the jump.

I love the koi details, it looks somehow tattooish in a way, I have been thinking of getting a similar style inked ;).

Another view of the Nike Koinobori.

Check out the clear sole, Nike should do more clear soles with details :).

Hope you enjoyed the pictures of the Nike Koinobori sneakers, make sure to check out the other blogposts aswell and please comment if you like.

peace

Well then for my first post..

Hello World!

Today I’ve encountered something on Youtube which must have been the funniest interview with a japanese guy as a host I’ve ever seen. Basically its something like a Nike promotion TV show for their streetwear designs called “Limited Edition TV”. The video features Busy P DJ and owner of the music lable Ed Banger Records.

I like the oldschool vibe of the video alot hahaha.

Limited Edition TV

heres the link to the official Nike “Limited Edition TV” Subpage.

peace,
