From the SQ archive: Nike Air Force III from 2005

It ‚only’ took me 2 days to find this pair!

Since the Air Force III has been re-released I wanted to note that the shape has been reissued in a better way before. 

Of course still not as good as the original (don’t make me find that one too in this sea of boxes 😅), but better…


It’s mind boggling to me, that the toebox shape on most reissues is still such an incredible hurdle.
What are your thoughts on the latest AFIII drop?

33 Berlin Buzzer Beaters

This summer I had the chance to work on an activation for the adidas Jabbar Hi OG Deadstock, 
which I would love to share with you.
A project from the heart I worked on with some amazing people to create a small print product:
„33 Berlin Buzzer Beaters - a study of style and declaration of love to the women of Berlin.“
When I started this Zine I was enthusiastic about giving the amazing females in my community 
a platform to shine. Having the opportunity to equip my network with one of my favourite 
silhouette sounded like a dream.
However I was not prepared what impact shooting 33 women in less than 2 weeks would have on me.
After being on my own struggle for the past 2 years I felt separated from my communities 
and started to become bitter about all the ‘isms holding me back.

But this passion project, these women gave me so much love, sense of belonging and hope for 
the future I am forever grateful for their trust in me and my endeavours.

It still feels unreal that @nessunostudio @caizacaizacaiza and I rocked this in such a short time, 
but I am so proud of all the participants and the final product.

Kareem Abdul Jabbars multidisciplinary life inspired me to dig deeper and ask myself and 
the participants „What is success, anyway?!“

I collected a bunch of quotes from Kareem, but one stood out in particular:

„I can do something else, besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.“

This quote felt synonymous with the female struggle and became the inspiration for showing 
the multidisciplinary success stories of the females around me.

To underline its omnipresence we chose to print it and other Jabbar quotes and barrier 
breaking facts on transparent paper. And of course some catalog porn for my fellow nerds.

With the help of @robertobrundo this wonderful teaser was created to get you in the mood:

Puma Suede x SOMA Gold Monster

Maybe the only reason I am looking forward to winter is rocking these with my brown @doublegooseofficial soon!


A big thank you to @soma.shimokitazawa for sending over this stunning pair of his @puma Suedes 
collaboration together with a SOMA shirt!
I was already lucky to receive a pair of the green monster Katsufumi created and am so happy to 
now 
also call this beauty mine.
The materials are gorgeous and the whole shoe has a great Big Daddy Kane DapperDan vibe to them.
Obvious the work of someone who has great love for the model and knows what he’s doing.

Arigato gozaimasu - I am forever grateful for my Japan sneaker fam!










Show love
