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.

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.

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!

Nintendo Paper GameBoy

Almost everyone I know at least played the Nintendo GameBoy once and I am still a big fan of the original “brick” that moves pixels on a greenish black and white screen. I still remember my birthday when I first got my GameBoy good memories !

The french design studio zim and zou seem to take their memories of the GameBoy a step further and designed an all out of paper GameBoy.
Check out the pictures even the game cartridge is made all out of paper!

One Year

Today marks the day we first posted something on this domain RUNFFM.COM
That was one year ago, when we started this blog we just thought that it would be a nice idea to have something like a scrapbook online where we just file everything that we find in some way interesting, cool or inspirational.
For us that is sneakers, gaming, design, art, music, toys, movies, travelling, photography, videos, filmmaking, sports and alot more too much to mention.

Its basically our brains splattert accross this blog haha.
We will keep that spirit up and also do our best to step it up a notch for 2010 !

Also we made posts about our trips to different countries like the USA, Egypt and Japan.
Make sure to check out our 2009 round up post on our travels or just browse through our archives for the liveblogging experience.

About travel blogging I will soon visit Tokyo again and I’ll make sure to put up some vlogs too in the usual fashion, this time I will try to focus more on retro gaming in Japan since I’m a big fan of old videogames and videogame systems, especially the ones that never came out in our area.

I also want to thank the people that supported our blog and to everyone who helped spreading the word on facebook! Also big thanks for everyone who posted a link to our page recently.
That is much appreciated and dont be a stranger say hi sometimes!

Special shoutout to DJ Kitsune make sure to check out his blog and his mixshows on JamFM.

Another shoutout to the Beastin crew check out their lookbook, its amazing photography!

Like DJ Kitsune already said in his post about us, its always good to have the ambition to conquer the world but you should not forget your roots.

To another great year!
Representing Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

peace

Welcome to Super Potato

In the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Japan you find all kinds of gadgets, collectables, hobby stuff etc. people that know the area call it the mecca of electronic goods. But what its also known for is the quite huge amount of retro gaming goods you can still find here.

Theres alot of places around to shop for retro games and of course places that might have better bargains than this one but none of them has become as famous as Super Potato in Akihabara and Osaka’s Den Den Town.

maaario Welcome to Super Potato

You can almost find anything from the era famicom, super famicom even more exotic stuff (for our midst) like Nintendo disc system, MSX computers, PC Engine, Neo Geo or the Nintendo Virtual Boy.

Hope you enjoyed this little video tour of the Super Potato store in Akihabara Tokyo, Japan.

My Nintendo DS is also a Synthesizer KORG DS-10

I have been seeing these cool videos where people make music with chiptune hacked Nintendo GameBoy’s and Famicoms and I kinda liked the idea of course you need some knowledge to do this but fortunately music company KORG released a software for the Nintendo DS a while ago already called KORG DS-10. It allows you to make funky music like this right here on your Nintendo DS.

It looked like enough fun to me to buy it and again fortunately at work we had one left and I got it for a good price :).

Since in germany the demand for synthesizer/music software for your Nintendo DS was not that high, they are not offered alot anymore but you can still find them for a good price here and there.

KORG also released a new edition called KORG DS-10 PLUS of the synthesizer in Japan, lets hope for the german fans out there that they will release it in our midst.  For those who cant wait its availible from Amazon.co.jp in a limited and standard edition.

Cool little animated Videogame Video

Thought this video was pretty cool and had to share it with you, it takes you through the times of retro gaming beginning at pong, space invaders through Mario, Monkey Island and ending with a big bang and Lara Croft… but see for yourself.
