Few weeks back @chris_mako asked me if he should keep his collection of cassette tapes, yes some of you might have good memories of the cassette tape days.

I just so happened to stumble upon this really interesting and well made interview by the Rolling Stone with Nas about cassette tapes.
I highly recommend you guys watching it because it contains a whole era of culture.
As Nas mentions in this interview imagine you cant listen to one song for a whole month if you didnt record it off the radio, how crazy is that !
We should be grateful that nowadays you can just hit google and find anything on demand, so dont hate on the internet!.

Wow, check that out. My man Sven is repping RUN FFM in the current JOURNAL FRANKFURT issue (dropped today) as well as he repped his (neighbour)hood Bonames as ‘Stadtteilbotschafter‘. It’s a project all over Frankfurt, so people can realize their own little projects for people in their respective district. He and his brother Martin (who is also rocking RUN FFM stuff by the way) were able to organize their own bball tournament that way to get teenagers interested in our sport.

For more information go to this site, where you can also apply to be Stadtteilbotschafter for next 18 months

I was also astonished to see this picture of our mayor Petra Roth as ‘DJane Petra‘ at the ‘Frankfurt legt auf‘ event last week. For that picture alone, she got my vote next time. :)

JOURNAL FRANKFURT – now on sale at your favorite Wasserhäuschen.

Shouts to Sven & Martin not only for rocking our stuff, but even more for volunteering their time to have a positive impact on their community.

That’s tough, right? But don’t worry, you don’t have to do so anymore, because there is a German version of Sneaker Freaker about to highlight the German sneaker scene. The site went online yesterday and the first mag will be dropping in two weeks on Dec, 16th. To prepare everyone for the hustle that is necessary to be one of the first to get it they made this dope video. :)

In Frankfurt the mag will be availble at the good guys from AZITA. See you there.
And all the best to the Sneaker Freaker team.

After having seen the SOpreme shirt by SOTO at the In Heaven Part 2 party in Frankfurt, I had to get it, too. And after having read a comment on the availability under the pic on their Facebook page, I got on the phone, Phil-G answered and a few days later I had it. Thanks, guys!

To get the pun on the shirt: It was released as part of the Supreme Book launch at SOTO and came with every book back then.

And it was very OK to also include the first issue of the Highsnobiety Magazine. Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Berlin since SOTO opened, but I only heard good things about the store and I think we’ll be hearing a lot from them in the future, too. Check this post by trendzeta to get an insight. I’ll check it out the next time I’m in Berlin for sure:

SOTO Store, Torstraße 72, Berlin, Germany – www.sotostore.com
open Mon – Fri 12:00-20:00 & Sat 11:00-20:00

We spent a day in Boston and Cambridge last week to visit Simon a friend of Andi (ballatician on runffm) who just graduated Harvard (congrats!) and to check out Boston a little bit.  First stop was Karmaloop which I wrote about a little bit earlier, they got kicked out of their old location and moved to another place, we just stood in front of an emptied out closed store with no signs or notifications of the new location also the website didnt say anything about the new location so we went on.

We went on to Niketown and some other locations and also found the Johnny Cupcakes flagship store.

Store was packed on that day, they have some nice T-Shirts didnt find anything for me though.  But I like the new The Hundreds x Johnny Cupcakes collabo.

Was also happy to grab the latest copy of Giant Robot Magazine at Borders. Its an asian pop culture magazine if you dont know it yet go and check it out!.

Some random sights around town.

It was a short stay in Boston and all in all I enjoyed the vibe of the city even though the weather was crazy we arrived in freezing cold weather, had a mad heatwave the next day only to be crashed by 30mins of hardcore raining.

Cheers!

One reason I love japanese magazines is that they always come with free stuff for example the A Bathing Ape “lookbooks” always have some neat free stuff with them like a wall clock, yes a wall clock where in the world would you buy a magazine and  get a free wall clock with it !?.  Even better SMART magazine gives you two free pair of A Bathing Ape socks! SOCKS!?

Well we used to have this magazine for kids here in Germany called YPS (pronounced “ueps”), it always came with free things actually they where the first ones to call  them gimmicks, they always had the weirdest “toys” like a periscope who doesnt know what that is check out the wikipedia link you could use it to spy on someone from around the corner, I remember I had a lot of fun with it looking like an idiot behind the wall. Also very famous amongst YPS readers were the URZEITKREBSE (Artemia salina) this is the german name for it basically its some kind of shrimp species… you would put them into water and watch them grow until you drain them down the toilet for a fantastic voyage in shitland, have fun growing them thinking they would really do something or grow big enough so you could enjoy a shrimp baguette LOL.

If you ask me yes I buy those magazines and yes I could always use a fresh pair of socks haha, so not bad at all next time you look for designer socks check the magazine stands in Tokyo ;-).

peace
