I was visited by Nike to show what I got for a 20 year anniversary Nike SB special on the
SNKRS app.
Watch the video on the SNKRS app or below.
I talk about five of my favorite SBs and you get a small peek into my closet captured

1980 Nike Cascade Run Off Geisha Artist Proof
The Cascade Run Off is a 15km marathon event that was held every June from 1978 to 2007
in Portland, Oregon, home of Nike.
In the vintage collectors community nowadays the run is mostly known for one of the most
famous merch Nike ever produced; The "Ukiyo-e" / Geisha T-shirt.
The artist Scott McIntire also printed some limited artist proofs for himself, one of which you can
see below.

Apparently the design came about because Mt.Hood near Portland looks a bit similar to
Mt. Fuji in Japan. Also Sapporo had been the a sister city since 1959, so these two connections
with Japan inspired the Geisha Motive for the 1980 Cascade Run Off.

My Autumn Muse in Cherry Maples
Before the release of the Kangaroos x Kish Kash x Sneakerqueen Ultimate *Cherry Maple* I
met up with my oldest friend Nicole to shoot some pictures.
We have known each other for almost 40 years and she is the closest to being family as is gets.
As she is in her final trimester with her twins it was very special to me, that she agreed to
sit infront of my camera with Kish Kash's and my shoe on. I love you
Nicole and can't wait to be the aunty of your two boys!!

Kangaroos x Kish Kash x Sneakerqueen Ultimate *Cherry Maple*
After months of brooding, many discussions, night time calls and countless emails, Kish Kash
and I are very happy to finally present to you our latest Kangaroos collaboration.
A lot of effort and time went into creating these and I hope you'll love the incredible
material on these as much as I do.
The biggest props of course have to go to my friend and collaboration partner Kish Kash for
his patience with my nerdy, sometimes masochistic perfectionism. Thank you for your constant
positivity whenever I felt like there is no solution.
Coming from similar inspirations, but quite different approaches to sneaker archiving we
have employed this unison to display our shared love for nature and high quality materials.
We where inspired by walks on damp forest floors, padded with carpets of moss and fall foliage.

We hope that you love the rich quality of the materials and the meticulous craftsmanship,
as much as we do and that you will take them on many hikes - whether it is in the forest or
the urban jungle.
Working with the team Kangaroos over the past year to represent unity during an era of division
has been a great privilege, so a big thank you to Adrian, Carla and Kai for their help,
input and support!!!
Last but not least; lots of respect to the previous collaborators in the series - @bisso97120
