1980 Nike Cascade Run Off Geisha Artist Proof

The Cascade Run Off is a 15km marathon event that was held every June from 1978 to 2007 
in Portland, Oregon, home of Nike. 
In the vintage collectors community nowadays the run is mostly known for one of the most 
famous merch Nike ever produced; The "Ukiyo-e" / Geisha T-shirt.
The artist Scott McIntire also printed some limited artist proofs for himself, one of which you can 
see below.

Apparently the design came about because Mt.Hood near Portland looks a bit similar to 

Mt. Fuji in Japan. Also Sapporo had been the a sister city since 1959, so these two connections 

with Japan inspired the Geisha Motive for the 1980  Cascade Run Off.

20 years of Space Jam

For the 20th anniversary of the movie Space Jam, the Berlin Braves 
organised an exhbition of vintage merchandising and sneakers affiliated 
with the film at the Kickz Store Berlin Torstraße. 
I contributed some sneaker from my collection to add to Joey's 
impressive line-up of merch, rare gems and special editions. 
At the opening on the 9th the original movie was playing downstairs
accompanied by pop-corn, sandwiches and donuts. 
A great evening with a nice exhibition, video games and drinks ended 
with tree lucky winners taking a Space Jam package of the Jordan XI 
home.
