This is just too good to not post it here again after we posted it yesterday on Facebook & twitter alreadyyy… Have a look at this incredible collection of sneakers: ShoeZeum. Thx to Jackmode for sharing!

I read somewhere, that these are also all size 11s & 12s. Which makes us go even more crazy. DJ Steph put it right, that he should’ve shown some more of the Jordans, but then I found this video right here.

Who else wanna go there???

So DJ Steph was on the 1′s and 2′s at ATP-Penthouse tonight and we decided to hit this roof top spot along with @chris_mako. Good music and lots of laughters and some new fresh-out-of-the-box kicks weren’t missing either!

Got them from TGWO earlier this year.

Basketball season starts tomorrow with our first home game, so I wanted to show you the kicks I will be playing in: the NIKE Zoom Hyperfuse XDR Photo Blue. I got them from the guys at KIX-FILES and I can absolutely recommend their services – I even didn’t have to pay any customs duties – and added them to our recommended shops list on the right column.

BAAAAAAAMMMM!!! Check out the label. I now even can PLAY LONGER. :)

If you wanna come by, here are the details for the game:

Market41.

theballatician — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:44:02 +0000

Market41 is the name of a pop up store located in our beautiful hometown of Frankfurt (I just had to squeeze that in right now) and is run by these two wonderful people you see on the pic above: Lea & Yves.

Not only are they cool, but the styles they carry in Market41 are, too! Above you see some 5Preview shits, below you can see different styles by Sixpack, Red Collar Project and Crooks & Castles.

Also ladies can get themselves some nice dresses…

… plus accessories, while men can grab a pair of comfortable Baqua shoes as well.

Some more stuff for the ladies.

And here are the new Sixpack styles they just got today. By the way, check back from time to time, because you’ll always find something new at Market41.

As I barely can withstand nice things, that have an A written on them, I recently got myself this Sixpack shirt called “Parallel Strokes” by artist PMKFA – plus some shorts for my summer vacation, but these will remain a secret until then.

Saving the best for last: Bazooka Joe chewing gum 4TW!!!!!!!

All of that only here until mid-September:

Market 41, Große Bockenheimer Straße 41 a.k.a. Fressgass’ 41, Frankfurt, Germany – www.market41.de
open Mon – Sat 11:00-19:00

So stop by as long as they are still around.

NIKE Air Hoop Structure LE.

theballatician — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:20:37 +0000

I got me the NIKE Air Hoop Structure LE last year alreadyyy, but now it’s finally time to unpack and wear them.

The sneaker basically combines the NIKE Air Structure Triax with the sole of the Air Jordan VI, while maintaining a clean look. I don’t necessarily like all those fusion sneakers NIKE did in the recent past, but I love this one right here.

Originally, I thought about wearing them for my basketball games, but decided against it, as I found some dope basketball sneakers soon after. You’ll see them in one of my next posts.

ADC Exhibition. flaek kaalen hi.

theballatician — Tue, 18 May 2010 18:44:17 +0000

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.

My new obsession.

theballatician — Fri, 07 May 2010 08:46:05 +0000

I guess, that is the right expression for what’s going on with me and NIKE‘s Dunk. I already got myself three new pairs this year after I was able to not buy any shoes for almost the first three months of the year. All of them were not planned, as there are some other important releases this year. But, why not? Life’s short, right??

It all began with this NIKE Dunk Hi Nylon Premium, when I ordered it at KICKZ.com.

Only one day or so after, me and Amil went to the big sale at our local NIKE Stadium Store here in Frankfurt. Everything was off like 50% or something. I copped those right here. Some other Dunk Hi Premiums.

And to round it all out I ordered these Gucci Dunks, who officially go by the name of Nike SB Dunk Hi Premium Deep Forest/Paprika. Allegedly, these were the last pairs in size 12, that were still laying around somewhere at NIKE and I just love the colorway. Thx to Partizan.

Oh, and check out this box and the little details on the inside of it.

More new gear to be featured in the next days as I didn’t only limit myself to my new obsession.

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.

Sneaker News: Kixclusive Store & DJ AM Dunk x DJ Premier AF1 @ hhv.

theballatician — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:00:51 +0000

Just saw this video by SneakGeekZ of the new and first Kixclusive Store in SoHo, New York. Looks really nice and contains some incredible kicks. Definitely a spot to put on my NYC to-visit-list: 288 Mulberry Street (E. Houston) NY, NY 10012.

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.

Hello, it’s the Martian, Space Jam Jordans – Air Jordan XI Space Jam.

theballatician — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 02:23:28 +0000

After seeing the Air Jordan XI Space Jams on the internets for so long now and even already about a week ago on the feet of a player of the opposing team, I am now holding my own pair in my hands. This is exactly the color way of this shoe that Michael Jordan wore in the movie Space Jam (please check out this incredibly old school website!!!).

I wasn’t really big on this release (just ask Chrishimself – by the way, I took his tweet for the headline), but this morning in the train, I came to the conclusion, that I had to take my chance on these, since I also was able to get them before the announced realease date of December, 23. And I can only encourage you to hurry up as I got the feeling, that my size (US12) is nearly out of stock in Germany alreadyyyy. I’m also really looking forward to the next release that will hopefully be the Silver Anniversary ones celebrating 25 years of Air Jordans.

Family.

That makes two pairs, so I need to find two suitable girls for a poster like this. Y’all know how to reach me.

Or maybe I’ll just buy it from OSNEAKER.COM (limited to 500 pieces).

theballatician — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:48:33 +0000
