Stijl Sommer 2010 in Mainz.
Chris and me made our way to Mainz today to check out this summer’s Stijl. It is the 3rd installment and basically a trade fair for fashion and design and still running tommorow from 11:00 – 18:00, if you want to cope some sale items or also items from new collections. You can’t miss Adrian and his freiraum booth, since it is the first one you’ll see, when you get in.
If you want to, you can grab something to eat, buy something to drink, play some new form of boccia, skate with fingerboards or have your photo taken in two old school armchairs. They also have a stage with rappers and a DJ performing, but the music was quite nerving from time to time. Anywayz, I got myself a nice new The Hundreds Snapback, that will come out with the Fall 2010 collection later this year, from Ibrahim (A-Game Distribution). Since he is a former pro ball player for Frankfurt, we were also talking a little bit about the last Skyliners season.
I also found this book about Banksy‘s streetart at 50% off and this Ucon Strap Wallet. I hope it is finally the wallet I was looking for since the last few months, as it is designed by the German brand out of Berlin, so it fits our ID card perfectly and also has a snap-fastener for the coin pocket. Just like Sheed does it with the strap on his Air Force 1s, I think I’m gonna wear it with the strap dangling, too.
19th & 20th June 2010, 11:00 – 18:00: Stijl Mainz @ Alte Waggonfabrik, near Phönixhalle, Hauptstraße 17 – 19, 55120 Mainz – www.stijl-mainz.de
3€ admission

Rock ‘n Shop & Nippon Connection.
I’ve been to the Rock ‘n Shop sale today at Alter Offenbacher Schlachthof (the Old Offenbacher Slaughterhouse), where you’ll get special deals on some nice clothes, shoes and accessories by many brands including The Hundreds, Sixpack France, Nudie, Superdry, Adidas, Nike and many many more. It’s still running tomorrow (Saturday, 17th April) from 12:00 until 20:00 at this location:
Achat Plaza Hotel, Ernst-Griesheimer-Platz 6, Offenbach
By the way, thanks to Adrian from Freiraum Frankfurt for having a cool talk in between.
And there’s also the 10th Nippon Connection going on until Sunday. It’s the largest festival for Japanese cinema outside of Japan. Chrishimself already posted about it last year. Alreadyyy. It was the first time, I went there today as well. Besides the red carpet and the movies, …
…you also have the chance to just hang out, …
… to buy some mangas, …
… to grab some Japanese food …
… or play some old school games.
Check the website for all screenings and locations.

Bright Tradeshow 2010 #2
Here’s the vid. Chris told you so!!!
I didn’t film too much with my new Kodak Zi-6, because I often just forgot to. There were so many booths to check out and we met and talked to some cool people, too. I just randomly walked into Flo, who designed our stickers, we got just in time for this weekend, so what you saw in the video was really the world premiere of our sticker. Of course, we talked to the always friendly people from A-Game, who distribute The Hundreds plus some more brands including Sixpack France & UNDRCRWN in Germany (Thanks for the dope stickers!). Also Chris from Beastin was mad beastin as we walked into him, while being nice to talk to. And we met Robert from Freebase Sneakers as well and got some updates. Stay tuned for those!!!
Anywayz I think it’s a nice little video including a classic opening and at the end a Swedish shoutout for Unbreakable, who all were also very cool to us.
It’s just sad to see the Bright Tradeshow move to Berlin now. As one exhibitor put it correctly: “Everyone can do Berlin, but not everyone can do Frankfurt.” Worrrrrrrd!!!

Bright Tradeshow 2010 #1
Hey like last year we went out to see the latest in streetwear at the Bright Tradeshow in Frankfurt am Main.
It was held at the old police department building in Frankfurt same like last year, actually this is going to be the last time the tradeshow will be hosted by the city of Frankfurt since it will move to Berlin.
For us locals its sad to hear that another institution of the local streetwear and skatescene is moving to another city that already has big tradeshows like bread and butter, but what can you do.
Anyways heres some shots of our visit today, I think we will also have a little videoclip ready sometime next week since Andi (RUNFFM theballatician) recorded some scenes with his new hd cam while we were roaming around the building.

Bozzton
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.
The Hundreds Johnson Mid
I was lucky to get another pair of The Hundreds Johnson Mid in size 11. The Hundreds recently released their new line of sneakers a few weeks ago but I was still looking for the last season black design of the Johnson Mid, and was lucky to find one at KICKZ, it was actually the last pair in size 11 they had :).
Check out more detailed pictures after the jump!.
The Hundreds
Ey Ey Ey,
I’m taking the chance to introduce you to a streetwear lable I think most of you might already know,
its not only their designs that I like its mostly the way they “market” themselves.
I mean they just do what they like and share it with us via their Website/Blog and it doesnt feel like a fake marketing stunt because its not!.
