Usain Bolt vs. Asafa Powell or: Puma vs. Nike

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Hm. Guess which brand´s marketing team screwed up once more promoting a Jamaican athlete at Olympic games… Need a hint? Tom Fordyce from the BBC can help you out.

Find out more about the campaigns at www.chasingbolt.com and www.nikelab.com. Get more information on the Jamaican sprinters on the New York Time´s website.

Vans Rasta Pack

Vans_RastaPack

Just when you think that the whole Rasta thing is a little played out, you stumble across yet another pack based on it and it just proofs again, that the rasta movement is timeless and will probably never leave. When it comes to music, we also don’t mind, but by now we have certainly seen enough sneakers in the rasta colors.  (via High Snobiety)

Nothing more to say. Besides something that has nothing to do with these ugly kicks (esp. the low top looks like a 16 year old pot head created them with Zazzle and Ked´s new custom shoe tool using his left while rolling a spliff with the right hand): Our friends from SoulForce just dropped a brandnew mix. Get the official high sound quality snippet on this blog tomorrow.

Thank God It´s Friday

CoffeMug

This coffee cup reminds you that getting up is hard, you need strong coffee and a good punch in your face to get up. (Karich Design)

While you´re having yours, check the Fader´s feature on the Crookers who made team seen. dance like a kids on E  just two weeks ago in front of the Man Recordings stage at the Melt Festival.

SmokingGun

CtotheJL always have the sickest gun-inspired designer pieces. While they were featuring some M16 chandeliers from Rock & Royal a few weeks ago, they´re bringing us the smoking guns from Design Glut these days. Diplogold´s transformation of “Guns of Brixton” to “Guns of Brooklyn” feels like a good auditive fit (via The Fader).

Good morning, gangsters

Listening to the current Slang Tang podcast for breakfast, I strongly recommend checking out Sonido del Principe´s myspace. Also, DJ Negro´s “Mundo Querido” and Daniel Haaksman´s remix of Madera Limpia´s “Loco” are pretty mental.

“N” like Negril?

NewBalance_Raggae

I don´t know if it´s a good thing that the people over at HighSnobiety can´t even spell reggae - I guess it is if they keep promoting shoes like these pretty ugly “New Balance Raggae”…
