adidas x SneakerQueen F&F Conductor Seeding Event

Last week I celebrated my 42nd birthday by gifting my closest ones a pair of my Adidas x SneakerQueen F&F Conductor.

And when I say family&friends I really mean my core circle. 

Because luckily all of my family members are also my closest confidants. 

So of course my mum, my dad, my sister and their partners all came by to celebrate with me and my sneaker family. 

Beinghunted was so kind to give me their gallery space for an afternoon, I baked some cake and bread, handed out my sneakers to a very exclusive little round and set up a small photo studio for taking some cheesy yearbook like shots to remember the day.

It was the best feeling putting a big smile on my loved ones‘ faces by giving my shoes to people who really appreciate them!

Many even came with my first adidas collaboration on their feet!

Thank you for everyone who showed up and filled this day with love, laughter, good food and great company! 

It was the very best birthday I had in ages and everyone made me feel  so special with their flowers, gifts and endless support.

The Collective - from Court to Concrete

I am stoked to finally show you what @Erniepunk @Tommy_triggah and @DefyNewYork and 

I have been working on for the past 2 years:

For this adidas collaboration, Ernie, Tommy, Scott and I have formed 'the Collective', 

a group of 80s lovers and collectors, to curate an exclusive release on some classics from the 

Patrick Ewing line. 

After countless hours, email and sleepless night 'the Collective' is releasing two pairs of shoes 

- an adidas Rivalry Lo 86 (yes they are a bit different to the ones you have been buying the past 

years) and a Conductor - this saturday the 29th of July 2023, worldwide in very limited numbers.

To celebrate the occasion we planned a little pre-release event at Overkill Shop this Friday, 

so everyone is more that welcome to come by enjoy drinks, snacks and music as well as a 

small heritage exhitbion to dive into the world of 1986 on the first floor.

Also there will be some VERY special limited collectors goodies at the pre-release for the first few 

customers who purchase a pair of the pack!

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and there are few basketball shoes more 

connected to the earlier days of the movement than the adidas Rivalry and Conductor. 

My love for the Rivalry is generally known and I have similarly strong feelings for it's big technical 

brother the Conductor.
So I am head over heels we got to work on both silhouettes for this collaboration and bring in 

so many different cultural influences to this project.
The inspiration behind the remake of these two models is the late 80s, when they transitioned from 

court to concrete an hence the name of the pack.

In the next few days I will tell you a bit more about all the details and easter-eggish features, 

but for now I firstly want to invite everyone who is in Berlin to join and celebrate with us!

Of course this is a much bigger group effort, than just the four of us nerding out.

So a big thank you to @adidasoriginals for investing in us, but especially to @sventheguide for your trust, 

@tduffles202 for going all in on this, @tiffanycrewsss for holding on to all those ends of the many 

ropes and to Peter Gellert for helping us tie that final knot!

And last but not least, big up to @overkillshop and @maks_mit_ks_ for helping us rolling this project 

out to you all!

Slide through the photos I shot to check out our two shoes in combination with some OG pieces from Ernie's 

and my vintage apparel and memorabilia.

The Collection at the Adidas Originals Store Berlin Pt II

Here's part II of my selection for the Adidas originals Store's reopening after an 

intense remodeling.

So the fact that I chose these models, probably comes to no surprise for many.
These three definitely represented the American influence on Berlin fashion. Because 

Basketball was not the most popular sport in the city and sport shoes where just 

becoming a fashion statement, if you wore one of the following models in the 80s or 

90s in Berlin, you had some sort of connection to the states. 

Either you lived in the American sector, went to an American school, had American 

relatives or just watched this crazy rap video on MTV and had a good connection to 

someone at PX.

One pair is pretty special in this trio. 

Not only because it is not mine, but mainly because it belongs to my older sister Laura 

and it is the very same pair, that fueled my love for sneaker in my teenage years, when 

she rocked these.
