LA with adidas

Last week I had the privilege of spending a few days in LA with the three stripes and a fun group.
Several archivists and I were invited to the sunshine state, where we got to nerd out about a 

special upcoming project I can not wait to tell you more about.

With the help of U DOX we got pampered with great activities, such as watching the Lakers 

game (seeing Lebron and Curry play was an absolute highlight) or going vintage shopping and 

were well fed at beautiful locations throughout our whole stay.
Thank you for this adventure, connecting with like-minded people is the most precious gift you 

gave us! 

I had a ton of fun and hope I get to see our crew again in the near future!

Stay at DJ Khaled's via AirBnB

DJ Khaled is unlocking his shoe closet.  

The hip-hop mogul is inviting fans to cop an exclusive stay inside a recreation of his legendary 

sneaker closet in Miami, bookable on Airbnb. Sneakerheads, fans and people looking for a sunny 

escape can reserve two one-night stays, occurring on Dec. 5 and 6, for two guests each at only 

$11 a night.  

You can request to book the stays beginning Nov. 29

The booking will include some nice extras according to the host:

 

"Sleep in my legendary sneaker collection and experience the 305 through the eyes (and

shoes) of yours truly. During the stay, guests will have the chance to live and breathe

Miami the same way I do - epically. 

I’m rolling out all the big stops, including: 

- An exclusive pair of We The Best Air Jordan 5s 

- A handwritten welcome note from me upon arrival 

- The keys to the ultimate sneaker kingdom, sleeping amid some of my most prized kicks,

including my personal Jordan 3 “Grateful” and Jordan 8 “Oregon PEs” 

- An outdoor lounge to kick back and soak in the Miami vibes after a dip in the pool 

- A chance to enjoy some of my favorite spots in Miami, like a catered dinner from my 

restaurant The Licking - Miami Gardens" 

Size? collections with yours truly

Some time ago Size? came to visit my archive and dig through some rarities.  

Last week they posted the special on me and my collection on their blog and YouTube channel.

I usually do not let anyone into my archive, but since I will be moving very soon, I thought it 

would be a nice memory of the space that housed my collection and life for the past 20 years.
A big thank you goes to the awesome team for this sweet content! 

Cameron, Jessy and James captured some beautiful material and I hope you'll enjoy the very 

personal insight into my world.

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.

AOA Top 5 - Vol II

A big thank you @aoatop5 for this copy of AOA vol.II!

A lot of work went into this second volume and it really payed off. 
This is a great read, for anyone with a little nerdism in them. Well done guys!

How Many Vans Make You Happy?

Vans nerd Henry Davies gives a wonderful insight into his collection and 
the great customization opportunities Vans offered back in the days.
