Sneakerboom Pt. II

Here's part II of my time in Indonesia. Interviews, Sonra Raffles and more 
interviews. I am glad to see the sneaker community growing and developing 
in the eastern hemisphere. Especially since most of the sneakers we 
consume today are produced here. 
There are so many new things to explore and learn about the production 
and market in Indonesia. I am specifically interested in sample-collectors, 
as this seems to be the most risky, but also exciting type of collecting 
around there...

ARTCADE opening recap

Here are some pictures of the opening of the 'ARTCADE' at the Wilmersdorfer 

Arcaden last Thursday.

Until the end of the year 7 temporarily free spaces within the arcade have been

transformed by different creatives to give the visitors a whole new experience, 
through pop-up stores and art spaces. 

A playground for creatives, some fresh air and new ideas.

The ARTCADE experience Room, showcases emerging extended reality content 
to new and curious audiences – giving them the chance to experience 

immersive technologies first-hand. 

In a gallery-space with attached artist studios, the visitors can view art, visit 

openings and watch artists live at work. The tape-art collective 'Tape That' 
display their work and the graffiti artists RAWS, SKENAR73 and STEREOHEAT 
created a visual overkill on floors, walls and ceilings. 

The Lunatix Dance Production utilizes space for a dancing school that offers 

workshops. Through the collaboration between Ria Wank, Roger Bernd, Hendrik 

Nater and the House of Tales, an area is transformed into a glacier world, with 

two escape game rooms.

Last but not least, a member of the GHS-Crew pays homage to his original sneaker 

shop 'Mad Flavor' that used to be close to the Wilmersdorfer Arcades with a pop-up
sneaker shop and a vintage sneaker exhibition where BAS2, Tony Toupet and yours 
truly display some sneaker history from our archives.

The ARTCADE are a cooperation between DIE DIXONS and the center management 

of the Wilmersdorfer Arcaden.

True Originals Book

In October 2013, Marlon Knispel from Berlin contacted Ernie Beckmannand asked him if 

he wanted to contribute to his planned adidas book "True Originals". 

The book should be a homage to the good times of adidas, in which the best adidas 

models (his opinion) from 1970 to 1993 would be presented. Since Marlon is of the 

opinion that he himself is not able to write texts, he asked Ernie if he could put his 

interviews and research results in a textual form and translate it to English. 

He was interested and we went to work. The result is a book that will be released next 

September. 

In order to be able to pay the printing, Marlon needed about € 3000, which we wanted to 

collect on kickstarter. 

The goal has already been reached, but feel free to contribute.

They are happy about any kind of support.... financially or by sharing the kickstarter page 

on your social media feeds...
