It was a typical rainy day on the Nieuwe Hoogstraat in Amsterdam, but this didn’t stop the fans and on lookers to start moving to the beats of Dret&Krulle. This was the first of six instore concerts “The Suede Road“, from Puma, will be held in the coming months. The sneakers store SeventyFive, provided the location for the real-life manaquins to blast their latest tracks, including the hit, “Verder“, and share their ‘De Bijlmer’ life in rap.

This will probably the most important book on Denim history: Denim Legends – published by by WeAr Global Magazine. 400 pages of Denim madness and most inflential denim pieces; from a pair of Levis 1870 (presumably the oldest jeans ever) all the way to current jean designs. Details on buttons, labels and stitchings. Brands include, Citizens of Humanity, 7 for all mankind, Replay and other denim innovators. We all would like one. But… only 2,500 copies were made, and they costs €890 …. each. You get the guarantee that there will not be a re-print – so it might well become a collector’s item.
I really love handmade products. Whether it’s sunglasses (like Super) or laptop covers (like laptopCover), the makers really create their products with care and love. As we are moving towards the vintage and classic trend, I was checking out the products that Billykirk are making. Timeless and trendless designs. All handcrafted pieces of traditional leather Americana.
Here is proof that skateboarding can reach across the globe and speak many languages. In central Africa lies the country of Uganda, which like most African country has to deal with vast poverty, where kids are learning to master the mini ramp and rails. You are probably asking yourself, “A Skateboard ramp in Uganda?”, the answer is yes and here is how The Uganda Skateboard Union all started.
If you close your eyes and someone say the word ‘Tuscan’ to you, I bet you will think of a red stained open farm field, with a house on the top of a hill. These are the images we are shown on Google, ads, and in travel guides. When you take away the colour, you start appreciating the other things that make Toscana great. To get an idea of what I am talking about, have a look at these mesmerizing pictures taken by Weston Baker, and take your time to really see the beauty in each shot.
It’s almost spring, so time to get your bikes out and ride! For those of you who don’t know what fixedgear is here is a little introduction:
Fixed gear bikes are not just a modern urban fad. Since the inception of bicycle track racing, the only bikes used on the wooden banks of the velodrome have been fixed gears.
The Suede Road goes on and on…. Puma are celebrating their 40 years of the Suede with a new campaign called Suede Road. Suede Road takes us on its musical journey through time, by releasing six new colourways which pay tribute to the different musical styles and cultures which welcomed the Suede over time: hip hop, acid jazz, punk rock, skate grunge, reggae dub and britpop. Along with the new colourways, Puma will be hosting six instore concerts, 6 limited edition mini-fanzines, and have also launched their very own blog.
With the likes of MTV coming with their own telephone service in Holland, with the focus on social media, PUMA has decided to focus on the phone itself and come with a new mobile smartphone made by Sagem Wireless. By doing this, PUMA focuses on what they are know for with their apparel and shoes, the design.
Full of technology, crazy silhouette, and just a explosion of colour, these new hybrid conceps from Nike, the Lunar Woven Chukka, are introducing their new colourway. This new colourway looks like it made a trip through the Skittles factory. Luckily the craziness is brought down to earth by the monotone navy blue of the laces, lace trim, tounge and heel. Like mentioned before, Nike relies on their Lunar foam sole to be a big hit this year. The woven wonders will be available at the end of Marchin Japan, at SOPH.SHOP, Parco andIsetan.
