Ein Herz für Blogs.

The third installment of Ein ♥ für Blogs was initiated out by a German blog last week. It’s basically about suggesting blogs, that not everybody might know about, but still be worth checking out.

4661377185 cd9366543d b Ein Herz für Blogs.

Originally, this was meant to be for blogs written in German, but why not give out some love, as we always do, but this time to other blogs in particular. So, let’s start locally with two German blogs, that we recommend to our German-speaking readers:

  • Sneakerb0b blogs from Cologne and as his name indicates, he is know for exactly that: sneakers. But he has a lot more to offer and I’m sure, you’ll find something on his blog, that you are interested in, too.
  • MrPander is also a blog to discover many sneaker and street culture related things, plus you can win some nice things as well and he would like to trade a pair of his Yeezys for an iPad.

Both of those guys also blog on SNEAKERIZED.com together with Oli & Sven from flaek by the way.

Let’s continue with our international suggestions:

  • YES! That’s the tumblr slogan by Myk31 from Ukraine. Here, he posts all kind of pics (sneakers, design, cars, shirts, basketball, ads, artists, brand logos, cool photographs, …), when he is not busy creating intros for the likes of itsbongoboy or Maestro.
  • SkavengerBrandon is a young guy from Cincinnati. Of course he is also into that sneaker/streetwear thing, but he often has amazing photographs and I try to get inspiration from them.
  • The Award Tour is a beautifully designed blog run by Phil, who gives some insight into the progress with his own brand along with his every day life.
  • a breath of fresh is for your daily dose of freshness and comes to you from Brendan, who is playing professional basketball in Germany’s 1st division, together with his brother and Rans, also a professional basketball player.
  • iD Life by Daichi Ito aka. “Limited Edition” he is known for his comedic and journalistic talent in the Nike webseries of Limited Edition TV and worked for Stüssy in LA aswell, he has his own blog. You should check it out, if you like streetwear.

Sneakerness 2009, Vienna.

The guys from SNEAKERIZED (also check our previous post) returned from this year’s Sneakerness in Vienna with a nice little video that shows us what was going on there. Of course, sneakers of all brands and eras had been on display and also for sale, but also t-shirts, skate boards and street art. Bobbito even made his way to Austria as you can see in the videos, presenting his new model with Pro-Keds.

Through SNEAKERIZED I also found a link to Gaby Zwaan’s site, who made his own video. He has some incredible pieces of art. For real. Go and check out some of these here. Hopefully, we will have some more from him soon here on RUN FFM.

SNEAKERIZED and fm4 also have some more pics for you.

It seems, that the next Sneakerness is going to be held in Germany in 2010, so I definitely think we shouldn’t miss out on all the fun next year.

Sneakerized.

Aren’t we all a little… sneakerized?!?

Sneakerized is also the name of the blog of three Germany guys (Oliver, Mischa and Sven), that you have to know as a sneaker head in Germany. They also made this clip, titled – you guessed it – Sneakerized. And I’m sure, many of us will find ourselves in there at some point. LOL!!!

By the way, I really love the “It’s marking check boxes with a swoosh” line. Hehe.

But they have even more specials for you. If you are visiting a city, their store finder is worth a look for finding sneaker stores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Just type in the name of the city.

And it really doesn’t stop here. The best thing is about to come: Oliver and Sven even created their own sneaker brand, called flaek, and designed their first shoe, the kaalen hi. It has a clean and timeless design, features quality materials and interchangeable tongues. The whole process was covered in their flaek blog and this interview by Sneaker Freaker Magazine provides another insight into their project. Go to their site for more pictures and information. Originally, a project for their studies, they now try to make a production of the sneaker possible.

It is already good to see how far they have come, but hopefully, these guys can go all the way finally.
