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.

Tachchen.

So I arrived in Berlin after having no sleep the night before, because we had to celebrate our first win of the season, and went with Simon, who now lives in Berlin, diiiiiirectly on the Touristenverarsche-Tour and to the Kurt Krömer Benefizgala in the evening.

On Monday, we made our way downtown again, but this time to check out some stores.

We got off at Alexanderplatz and there were some cool streetart pieces.

First stop was the WOOD WOOD store.

As you can see, you can get lots of different styles & items in there, while wood is also a large part of the store.

I really liked that scarf :)

WOOD WOOD, Rochstraße 4, 10178 Berlin, Germany – woodwood.de
open Mon – Sat 12:00-20:00

Down the street, we spotted the BBB Headquaters right next to the adidas Originals store. I’m actually also thinking about going to the next BBB in January. We’ll see…

We also went into the store…

… and I immediately got me a new hoodie. :)

NOOOT!!! I didn’t buy it, but Jeremy Scott is really going all out…! Do you like the look…??

adidas Originals, Münzstr. 13 -15, 10178 Berlin, Germany – www.adidas.de

Check out the sneaker wall at the KICKZ Store.

KICKZ, Münzstraße 20, 10178 Berlin, Germany – www.kickz.com

Next stop was STAB, where you have a good sneaker-to-clothing ratio in my eyes.

We loved this piece of art here. Also check out those little Jeremy Scott adidas sneaker for kids. :)

STAB, Gipsstraße 23, 10119 Berlin, Germany – www.stickabush.com
Mon – Fri 12:00-20:00 & Sat 11:00-19:00

Then, I was finally able to go to SOTO after I got me their SOpreme shirt earlier this year. By the way, you can really tell, when you are getting closer to the store. :)

That’s the front. Unfortunately, it was already dark.

The atmosphere in the store was cool and very laid-back, so you can feel really comfortable there.

We’ll go back there on Thursday to check out the opening of the Alastair Philip Wiper exhibition.

SOTO, Torstraße 72, 10119 Berlin, Germany – blog.sotostore.com
open Mon – Fri 12:00-20:00 & Sat 11:00-20:00

Right next door is No.74. The carry exclusive adidas items, but unfortunately I was not allowed to take any pics.

No.74, Torstraße 74, 10119 Berlin, Germany – www.no74-berlin.com
open Mon – Sat 12:00-20:00

After that it was time to eat and we found something dope on Torstraße: Shawarma, Hummus & Haloumi…!

Two corners away you’ll find the Firmament store in their new location. They got really exclusive stuff by OriginaFake, Head Porter Plus, Acronym, Visvim and so on.

In the entrance area they are showcasing the new Nike x Undercover Gyakusou International Running Association collection.

You can also get some Japanese magazines there, while I got myself a new Stüssy beanie. And no, they don’t make ‘Gas-/Wasserinstallationen’, if some krayzie person on the street should tell you that LOL.

Simon also found this book called ‘Take Ivy’ that contains photographs of men and their clothes shot on the Ivy campuses. It was originally published in Japan in 1965 and started the “Ivy Style” fashion among students in Tokyo. And as Simon told me not much has changed on the campuses fashionwise in all those years. And if somebody should know about that, it’s him, but I won’t drop the H-bomb now. :)

Firmament, Linienstrasse 40, 10119 Berlin, Germany – www.am-firmament.com
open Mon – Sat 12:00-20:00

Last visit was at the Civilist store.

They also carry a wide range of different brands and I also found a shirt by Australian brand PAM that I had to get.

Civilist, Brunnenstraße 13, 10119 Berlin, Germany – www.civilistberlin.com
open Mon – Sat 12:00-20:00

If you happen to be in Berlin, I can only advice you to check out these stores, also because in that area you’ll find some cool other things while you are walking around.

Anywayz, I’m still here for a while, so more love from Berlin soon, when I show you what we are doing today.

Yeah, we made it past our first post (by Chrishimself on the 10th Feb 2009) and by next week’s Wednesday, we are celebrating 1 year of RUN FFM. We will have a contest for y’all, so that we hopefully won’t have to celebrate alone, because you always were and will be part of this blog, too.

Our first price is something really special. It’s Chrishimself‘s first designed t-shirt, which he gave out to friends and to people, who he interviewed for his documentary on Japanese popculture. It is inspired by Karl Gotch, who became a legendary wrestler during his time in the 60s and 70s in Japan. He brought his trademark move with him, that was then named the German Suplex. Winner can choose between sizes L, XL and XXL and gets an additional Mixtape CD Back To The Feature by Wale & 9th Wonder.

Here are Karl Gotch’s Top Tem Moves with the last one (at the 1:30 mark) being the German Suplex.

As second price, we have some magazines for you The current issues of SNEAK U (in German) and streetwear today.

Here’s how you can enter:

1. – Become our fan on Facebook.

2. - Tag yourself on one of the four photos in the album “RUN FFM / 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY“. You can tag yourself up to four times, increasing your chances of winning.

That’s it. Oh, and deadline to enter is next Wednesday, 10th Feb 2009, 11:59pm CET.

After Chrishimself made me aware of the fact, that some NIKE Dunks High, that I was thinking about buying for a long time, are being sold during AZITA‘s sale (even in my size!!! US12!), I drove there yesterday to get them. In typical Frankfurt colors!!!

AZITA
Münzgasse 10, 60311 Frankfurt

On their web store I also found some interesting magazines, but mostly the Preview Issue of reed pages intrigued me. From the AZITA store, you just have to walk around the corner and you’ll find LASER MAGAZINE. Hopefully, they’ll get also the real issues, as there are so many interesting things already in this Preview Issue. Also, some things, I already planned to blog about, so that means, you’ll get even more quality posts now. :-)

You can also subscribe to it. Worldwide shipping is even being included in the 60$ fee. That’s word up!!!
