Approved by the King

When I created my F&F Conductor I had a list of people in mind who inspired me to get to this

point and to whom I wanted to pay tribute to and gift this special pair.

From close family members to international culture creators this list had a big influence on my

process and the final outcome.

Forever linked with Trefoil and sneaker history Jam Master Jay and @rundmc were an inspiration 

since day one of my collaborations. 
@kingdmc is one of the very few people, whom I had also seeded my Rivalry Hi SNEAKERQUEEN back in 2013.

So when @shakejmj blessed me with this picture of Darryl holding up my F&F Conductor and

our Collective Rivalry Lo it totally made my day!

Thank you for decades of inspiration and maximum #worldwidesneakerlove !

Time to Party

In a few weeks it’s been 10 years since my first trefoil collaboration hit the shelves.

My adidas Rivalry Hi SNEAKERQUEEN was the first one to reintroduce this hightop beauty back 

into the market in 2013 and I must say I still cherish and wear my pairs (I am on number 5 now) 

like on the first day.

This is the logo I designed back then based on the OG adidas Ewing logo, as I was not allowed to 

use the original logo and wanted to keep my design as close to the real deal as possible.

Since a lot has happened in the last decade and anniversaries call for a celebration, I have been cooking up something special!

Can’t wait to show you all soon what I have been working on and share it with my worldwide sneaker family!

CREPE CITY Archive Interview

It is not often, that I get to talk about my collection in depth at an
interview. Usually it’s just the common “when did you start collecting” 
or “how many pairs do you own” questions. 
But I am extremely proud of this CREPE CITY archive interview, where I 
got to show my favourite 50 pairs and have a great talk with Synamatix 
about my archiving obsession! 
A big thank you to Crepe City Magazine for this quality inclusion and for 
all the efforts that where made to photograph each one of my top 50 
for issue 05!

Happy International Womens Day 2017

Pride, love and light, boss ladies; You are my sunshine!

Rivalry Love

Here is one of my pictures from the AOA top5 Vol. 2 book. 
The adidas Rivalry Hi has a special place in my collector's heart. 
It was the first adidas high top that sparked my interest as a teenager. 
Seeing my older sister's friends rocking the white and grey colourway, 
watching RUN DMC and what the band contributed to the evolution of 
style in the hip hop communities worldwide with their collection; 
all had a great influence on the way I perceived fashion and sneaker as 
a social code and status symbol. 
These are all the vintage Rivalrys that inspired me to my final shoe 
collaboration with adidas (in the front) plus a sample in the background 
with a different try on the snakeskin.
