OMFT – Nike Air Safari, 2003
I got so much love for these 2003 Safaris, I rarely dare to put them on!
TBT - Modelling in the 90s
TBT to that rare time when I took off my sneaker for a catwalk
and event photography was all analog.
I kinda miss the 90s ...

Nike Air Jordan IV x Kaws
I heard these are the kaws of many sleepless camping nights...
Although their material is of insane quality;
Don't believe the hype!

OMFT – Puma Duplex OG x Careaux Caroll
I kinda love everything about these Puma Duplex OG x Careaux Caroll.
The suede is butter, the mesh on point and I just love gum soles, when
they are well combined!

Happy 30th Anniversary Nike Air Max Pack!
I posted a video, which was only in german, so here are some things I am
talking about in my last post.
The story of the Air Max 1 can’t be told without mentioning it’s designer
Tinker Hatfield. Tinker studied at the University of Oregon, where he met
Bill Bowerman, one of the founders of Nike.
1981 he started working for Nike, but was originally designing displays and
corporate building for the brand's Campus in Oregon.
When Reebok hits the nerve of the aerobics trend with the release of the
Freestyle, they suddenly surpass Nike in size. Nike is trying to upgrade their
design and marketing department, so that Tinker Hatfield gets re-assigned
to footwear design through a design contest in 1985.
Within a short period time he becomes the lead designer an one of the first
projects he is involved with is the Nike Air Max 1, which is released together
with other models as the Air Max pack.
The pack consisted of the Nike Air Trainer 1, which was made famous by
tennis legend John McEnroe, the Nike Safari and the Nike Air Sock as well
as the Nike Air Revolution, which was equipped, like the Air Max 1, with a
visible Air bubble.
Until today the model has been a popular canvas for numerous
collaborations.The colour and the shape of the Nike Air Max 1 has constantly
changed slightly over the past three decades.
For it’s 30th anniversary, Nike showed some love for OG details and released
an anniversary pack. Even the box is inspired by the original design and these
booklets also used to be an accessory to every model sold.
The brand gives special attention to colour, shape and materials to keep these
details as close to the original as possible.
In my oppinion, going in the right direction is already a success!

Nike's New Old Boxes
A vintage vs. retro about boxes...
Not quite the same colour as the OG boxes, but close enough I guess.

Adidas Chancha Catalog Page
A great page from a 1988 Spanish basketball catalogue:
adidas Cancha Low and Hi.
Originally from 1985 this basketball model is a close relative of the adidas
Europa (a leaner version of the adidas TopTen and also made in Spain) and
the adidas Conductor (which was a technical beast and pretty sought after
model due to it's impressive 'made in France' quality).
The adidas Cancha is surely one of the favourite pairs I own!
