Japan Charity at Julie’s Barber Shop.

I’m just chilling on Julie‘s couch right now as I’m typing this, because I just dropped some shirts & even hoodies (that were only made for Friends & Family) for tomorrow’s Charity Day. All proceeds will go to Japan as well as all haircut proceeds. Call 069-37304274 and stop by tomorrow at Julie’s Barber Shop. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.

There are also still some Limited RUN FFM All Star Shirts available.

Oh, and we also have a new design since a few minutes done by our man, the great @myk31, who also designed the All Star Shirts. Hope you’ll love it as much as we do!!

RUN FFM All Star Shirts by myk31 benefiting Japanese Red Cross.

We are very proud to unveil our very limited RUN FFM All Star Shirts, that were designed by @myk31 alreadyyy a few months ago. The design is inspired by Japanese Pop Culture as most of his amazing stuff is. He already did music videos, lots of video animations – even for MAESTROKNOWS & itsbongoboy and dope graphics, so you definitely have to check it all out on his – you guessed it – incredible site myk31.com.

5538313059 2e9f8b85c3 RUN FFM All Star Shirts by myk31 benefiting Japanese Red Cross.

We were going to drop those shirts anywayz as they were planned to be released for another special RUN FFM milestone. It just so happened, that these Japanese inspired shirts were printed this week, so it was a no-brainer to drop them now, because that way we are able to do our little part in helping Japanese people after the disaster, that hit them so hard last week. How?? We decided to donate all profits from those shirts directly to the Japanese Red Cross.

5538802010 b1244e3dba RUN FFM All Star Shirts by myk31 benefiting Japanese Red Cross.

These shirts are very limited. You have the choice of 4 colours (black, white, grey, navy), but we only made a total of 31 shirts, that will sell for 31€ per piece (in conformity with Myk’s choice of the Ukrainian Devil’s Dozen as “his” number :D). The screen print is on Continental Earth Positive shirts, so they were manufactured solely using sustainable energy generated from wind and solar power and have an organic & very comfortable feel to them. You can read more about the shirts on the Continental EP site.

Please inquire for your preferred color and size combination via e-mail: andi@runffm.com. We are sorry, that we cannot do it over the “regular” web shop, because due to the very limited quantities there are several color/size combinations, that only exist once. First come, first served.

You can pay via bank transfer or cash. We ask you to please do so within 5 working days and please add 1,45€ for shipping to Germany (pick-up also possible of course).

As mentioned above, we hope to do our little part in helping Japanese people, that we otherwise would not be able to accomplish.

Thanks to Myk for this amazing design & him being all for the idea of donating all profits to Japanese Red Cross. Thanks to our screen printer to make this shirt possible in this small quantity. Thanks to all the supporters of RUN FFM (We are sure you’ll like this shirt). And of course to everyone, who is helping in any way possible for Japan to get back on its feet again.

By the way, on Mar, 25th all haircuts at Julie‘s Barber Shop will also be donated for Japan, so call 069 – 37304274 now to make your appointment. You should also check this round-up on Hypebeast and on WHATZOOEVER!.

Let’s pray for Japan!
気をつけて!

’0TEN MEMORIES.

Sorry, I just had to and also wanted to do some round up of last year, because it has been sooooooo kraaaaayzie… (and obviously doing so is still appropriate, since I posted the 09 Memories one year ago on January, 5th as well)! In 2010 I went from being like “OMG. This is alreadyyy two weeks ago…?!?? Wow. Time flies.” to “OMG. It’s really only two weeks ago since this happened?!?? Wow. So much stuff was going on in between alreadyyy.” and I’m really grateful. Nothing worse than those people with their boredom statuses on Facebook. There are countless things you could do, but that’s a whole nother blogpost.

We started the year running around as two dudes at the BRIGHT Tradeshow in Frankfurt, that just got their first stickers made for their blog…

Major shoutouts to Flo for coming up with the idea of the sticker image and also for all graphic design work he did for us all year long!

Then in April Chris was running around Tokyo and I was running around London (cheering on Simon) and each of us got to experience some weird stuff once again.

IMG 4388 0TEN MEMORIES.

5325629330 f7bce99e72 0TEN MEMORIES.

OK, one of us definitely experienced more crazyness than the other, but we both distributed our sticker all over those cities.

5325091693 b9df360d6a 0TEN MEMORIES.

Chris did even so, that it can be seen on this pic of Levi Maestro soon later (on the very left side from photographer’s view). WHAT?

4655811601 eaf29220e9 0TEN MEMORIES.

Chris also blew us off with some great RUN FFM journalism par excellence…! ;-)

By the way, I really love those random kind of videos by Chris like this, where he had to kill some time in the morning to go to the airport on no sleep the night before. I had to literally laugh out loud severel times, while I was digging through all that stuff. Here are some more impressions of Tokyo.

Now, this was really a great day as I predicted in the video. We picked up the first print of the RUN FFM shirts in June, which was an unbelievable feeling at that time. Ain’t nothing like rocking your own shirt for the first time.

Immediately after picking them up we went to the public viewing of Germany’s match that day and there was already some guy we didn’t know, that asked if he could take a picture of my shirt. Of course, feel free…

4714048386 75c4588922 0TEN MEMORIES.

Later that month, I somehow found out about a DJ Neil Armstrong party in Frankfurt by scrolling through my twitter timeline and thinking “Wait…. A tweet by him mentioning Frankfurt? Gotta check that out.” The In Heaven Part 2 party then went down two days later on a rooftop in downtown Frankfurt. And by going down I mean really going down. Like really, really going down. It was more some kind of a festival that night and it didn’t end until the sun came up.

4743320049 b39ae469d9 0TEN MEMORIES.

4743953864 061e6df00a 0TEN MEMORIES.

At that party we also met Yves & Lea, who just opened up their pop up store MARKET 41 around that time. They went on to become good friends and even selling the RUN FFM shirt in their store eventually.

Lea Yves Market41 1024x671 0TEN MEMORIES.

The first store to have the RUN FFM shirts in stock however was Julie‘s Barber Shop and this again was very cool to have your shirt in a store in Frankfurt and then even in two stores later on. At this point big thank yous to give us the opportunity to spread the word about RUN FFM and connect with our people from Frankfurt & everywhere else.

4778373898 d736e47ae9 0TEN MEMORIES.

Another chance (or from my point of view: obligation, because I was the only one to wear the shirt that day) to make that possible and just to get the shirt on TV was this interview with German TV station RTL, that were filming on Freeline Skating that day – we even made it the most watched news segement the day it aired (like 2 months later, after everybody had nearly forgotten about all of this LOL).

4844974924 161209b3ed 0TEN MEMORIES.

Then in August it was time to get some new stickers and a new TwitVid format out there…

In October we bumped into Adam Tensta and in different news I just wanted to do some stop motion film, also as a way to celebrate the arrival of our white shirts and the new stickers (YES, I posted it once again LOL). Thx to DJ Steph again, who allowed me to use the instrumental without hesitating and to be honest without really knowing me at that point, but we got to know each other more after that.

October & November were DJ Neil Armstrong time again, as he was touring through Germany for a week and also had some off days in Frankfurt. We drove to Düsseldorf to attend the first Party&Bullshit party with him & DJ Rafik at the decks.

5165273752 c7dbd7c6e5 0TEN MEMORIES.

And as you can see we didn’t come to party LOL. We had work to do. Chris filmed & I had to drive all the way home again at night. Here’s Chris’ video of the night.

Back in Frankfurt we then had the time to conduct an interview with Neil at Julie’s Barber Shop, while we were driving & running around Frankfurt having lots of fun not only, but also because we introduced him to some Frankfurt gastronomic specialties. And he even liked all of the food as you can tell from his post.

As I mentioned only a few posts earlier, it was great to see him DJing in the RUN FFM shirt here in Frankfurt.

5325327325 1646c127f7 0TEN MEMORIES.

I went to visit my buddy Simon again in November – now only in Berlin and met Phil-G. & Omer while checking out some Berlin spots.

Also another amazing party took place in December: DJ Craze came to Frankfurt and DJed along with C-Arrow, DJ Passion & DJ Jackmode at the first YOSOY party (What’s up, fam?) in collaboration with fenchurch. Chris once again did a nice little video on the event…

… as well as Julian Middle, where you can see both of us. :)

In December, we also had C-Arrow attaching our stickers in NYC, Frankfurt’s own DJ Kitsune (who is with us since day one!) with a dope mixtape series called 1-2-3-4 and we finally made it to printed press as Sven was reppin our hoodie in Journal Frankfurt magazine.

5279857607 d8e2024296 0TEN MEMORIES.

The biggest accomplishment of ‘em all is of course that I got myself finally a nice haircut at Julie’s Barber Shop. :)

5326138856 c172a1e8b4 0TEN MEMORIES.

Mad love to everyone supporting us, connecting with us, partying with us, rocking RUN FFM shirts & hoodies all over the place (check for some pics here and here) as well as the stickers.

Long post, I know, but there was quite some stuff going on as I told you at the beginning of this post. Looking back we began 2010 as two dudes with a blog and a bunch of stickers, but ultimately it took us places & got us to meet cool people, so thanks for the ride. Let’s see where we can go in 2011.

Hope you are ready. :)

Sven in JOURNAL FRANKFURT.

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.

5279857607 d8e2024296 Sven in JOURNAL FRANKFURT.

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. :)

5279857863 e0ee53e07f Sven in JOURNAL FRANKFURT.

JOURNAL FRANKFURT – now on sale at your favorite Wasserhäuschen.

5280462646 f228c40d7f Sven in JOURNAL FRANKFURT.

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.

Berlin Pickups.

To finally put an end on the Berlin posts I’m gonna show you, what I picked up during my stay there and we’ll move on with some more fun in the next few days, aight? :)

5247059779 99e6abd80a Berlin Pickups.

I really didn’t want to buy sneakers this time, but I didn’t know that the Air Jordan IX were 50% off at NIKETOWN, so I just had to.

5247660296 9ee4a22286 Berlin Pickups.

5247660546 585332e5fc Berlin Pickups.

Notice the “athletisch” on there :) Does anybody know what these other languages are??

5247660768 49b10ae4c2 Berlin Pickups.

There’s also something German on the right shoe: “anmutig”.

5247059343 8002db0a3f Berlin Pickups.

5247059123 f6e2ac550d Berlin Pickups.

I also only noticed this glitter stuff, when I opened them at home. Funny. It somehow reminds me of the floor in the first modern busses we got in Frankfurt back in the 90s, because I was so amazed by it back then as a little kid.

5247661410 ea4e4487eb Berlin Pickups.

Then, I also got me a shirt at the Civilist store by P.A.M., which is an Australian brand that I didn’t know of before, but I immediately fell for this design.

5247659618 ed52bef6a5 Berlin Pickups.

The backside.

5247057487 3396d6b830 Berlin Pickups.

At Firmament I discovered this Stüssy beanie, that perfectly goes along with the warm-up suit of my basketball team. I also got me some matching socks in other stores, but I will save them for our last game this year and rock them in Kronberg on Dec, 19th.

5247659834 2e87752f39 Berlin Pickups.

Gloves. This was a huge success, because last winter I didn’t have any gloves anymore. Don’t know, where they vanished, but I’m good for this year. And they were quiet helpful alreadyyy for the first snowball fights.

5247058171 affac3a31d Berlin Pickups.

More shoes?? Yes, but little ones that I found at OVERKILL. This are the Tiffany Dunks and some Air Jordan I’s.

5247661840 9214ac2920 Berlin Pickups.

Here they are together with their big brother.

5247060437 86de0aef81 Berlin Pickups.

If you are in Berlin, I definitely recommend to check out the area around Torstraße. You will find SOTO, Firmament, Civilist, No.74, WOOD WOOD there among others. They even have this little cards to help you get around. OVERKILL was really some kind of overkill, because they had some dope stuff on display, so I most definitely recommend to go there, too. It’s in Kreuzberg.

5247060675 21ef4e86ff Berlin Pickups.

Until next time, Berlin.

From Berlin With Love, wa! (Part 1)

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.

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.

5180902739 19606824ef From Berlin With Love, wa! (Part 1)

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. :)

Nuuuuuuuu stuff…!!!

Hey everybody,

I know you haven’t heard from me in a while, so I thought I should only hit you with some great news. And I got some…: NEW SHIRTS, GIRLIE SHIRTS & even HOODIES!

5124001100 4c92f2f63b Nuuuuuuuu stuff...!!!

Even though it’s already the third time we had some RUN FFM stuff printed, it’s always amazing to pick up all that stuff from our screenprinter.

5123842330 57b1992255 Nuuuuuuuu stuff...!!!

As usual, the shirts will be available in our online shop (unisex & girlie + black & white). The hoodies won’t, because we’d like to have them only for people, that are rocking our shirt alreadyyy, so they are strictly limited.

For everyone that supported us so far and for those, who will hopefully do so in the future, we made this little stopmotion video, because we basically just wanted to do one, but I think it turned out quite well. What do you think…???

That beat by S&G Beatz is really killing everything else here. Check out some other tracks on Soundcloud, so you may also like them on Facebook, too.

This gives me also the opportunity to post this nice picture of the beautiful mrswood from mrandmrswood in our black shirt…

Marie Franz RUN FFM Shirt mrswood klein Nuuuuuuuu stuff...!!!

… and also the one of my new teammate Andi in our white shirt, while he was studying very hard, so that he now can enjoy life once again. :)

Andy Tsimi Uni Gießen Nuuuuuuuu stuff...!!!

Unfortunately, a store in Frankfurt stole our idea, but even worse… printed the RUN FFM design on Fruit of the Loom shirts by flexprinting it… AND selling it for about 25€. We just want to make sure, that you know, that you can get our shirts for 20€ only through our online shop and at Julie’s Barbershop in downtown Frankfurt. In addition we also printed a little URL on the left side of the back, as you can see in the picture below to mark them as “originals”.

5124000552 47e1f2fd05 Nuuuuuuuu stuff...!!!

Make sure to get one now. These may be the last ones available…

On a personal note: I know, I lost myself somewhere down the road in the last few weeks, but I’m just re-discovering why I started doing this in the first place. It’s definitely time to bring the fun back.

We decided to reprint a small number of our RUNFFM T-Shirts and had to pick them up today we really needed this order asap. so we were really happy that our screenprinter
was so kind to help us out last minute. Also we took the chance to make those requested white versions of the shirt, hope you are going to like the white RUNFFM T-Shirt,
they will be launched online at the end of August!!.

Our time was so limited that we had to do some paperwork right at the screenprinters place, I mean Andi (@theballatician) was doing the work, I was just playing around with my
new HTC Wildfire haha, never had a phone with a touchscreen and never thought of getting one but this one seems decent.

We also put a few in stock at Market41 on Fressgasse 41 in Frankfurt am Main if you are here go grab them we are also planning on putting them in stock at Julies Barbershop but
because you have to wait for 30-40mins. at a local supermarket to buy a “Leberkäs Brötchen” (google that) we didnt have the time left to drop them of.
We were in such a hurry and Andi had to make it to his Basketball training but its all going to be worth it I’m sure.

We are just lucky to be able to put out some kind of product, in this case T-Shirts, to connect with our people from Frankfurt and people who are into this blogger subculture/popculture stuff.
I think it is the easiest way for us to put our name out and to give you some dope T-Shirts to represent Frankfurt plus it finances some of our expenses and its a hell lot of fun to do it aswell.

All the photos have been taken with a HTC Wildfire cellphone since I forgot my Ricoh GR Digital II at home.
I think it takes decent pictures, good enough for blogposts, twitter, fb and such =).

Give me a holla if you are on twitter @chrishimself84 just hover over my name and hit follow.
peace and keep that “Swaggarona” up by grabbing a T-Shirt at the store =). The white version will be availibe online at the end of August!!

Photowalk 06.08.2010 Streetwear edition

We really had to have another meeting in the city today for several reasons, we sold out almost all of our T-Shirts and need to restock asap. and we are already making plans for upcoming events and were talking about some details for our new “products”. Also Andi (@theballatician) finished his semester finals so he finally had the time to meet up .. he had a rough night partying though ;) but “you cant knock the hustle” hahaha.

Met Mike too today was cool hanging out with him again after a long while, I’m already looking forward to go party with him at tomorrows Flutschfinger event, if you are interested make sure to scroll down and check out the details its organized by Market41 a pop-up store in Frankfurt that is plain awesome but I will get to that later in that post.

4866248555 d422279a84 Photowalk 06.08.2010 Streetwear edition

So since I have never seen the Market41 store in person I had to drag the guys to it to check it out. Its aaaaall the way in the back of this little area on “Große Bockenheimer/Fressgasse” near “Alte Oper”
if you have no idea where it is and you are in Frankfurt and want to check it out then click here for google maps lol.

4866866568 3cd0ccdf42 Photowalk 06.08.2010 Streetwear edition

Lea, who is the owner of Market41, offered us to put some of our RUNFFM shirts on display for the next two months. The whole concept of a pop-up shop is that it only opens for a short
period of time and basically offers some brands or products that are normally not widely availible, basically for you to get a little taste of whats out there.

Here comes our little dilemma that we solved with the power of coffee.

4866250399 ddfe0af24a Photowalk 06.08.2010 Streetwear edition

Soon-Ho dropped by, how dope, I havent seen this guy in a long while he had finals too and is now preparing for his diploma thesis but I am already looking forward to go out and hit some parties with him before he is “gone” again to work on his diploma.

Also I noticed that my camera was still on some weird setting that I tried out few days ago so I had to fix some pictures in post at least a little bit, däng.

Soon-Ho talking over some double-shot espresso, word!.

4866250561 81c76706ac Photowalk 06.08.2010 Streetwear edition

Well we were able to get at least a little “sample run” of a few sizes to show at tomorrows Market41 event to solve our little dilemma, also Mike was very helpful ironing the T-Shirts LOL!.
