With the upcoming highly anticipated release of the Concepts x New Balance “Freedom Trail” pack collaboration, we decided to throw a little pre-release party at Club Sanctuary in Boston.

Big shouts the New Balance team for holding us down, Paulina @ Sanctuary, Frankie, Brand Nation, Brek.One and Doo Wop (BSA 2010!) for the great night.

BKRW NEW SPACE BY JR FOUNDATION CASA AMARELA (backstages) – bkrw

bkrw — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:51:05 +0000

We’ve just got a whole new CRIB in PARIS since a couple of dayz…

If you dont know. Now you know.

Im really happy about that news. I mean we finally got an office and a new space/creative playground in PARIS to be able to do EVERYTHING WE WANT… Also, Im fukin happy to open that space with a project with my friend and great french artist JR and his brazilian new foundation CASA AMARELA.

Honestly it was really important for us to open that space with a charity and human project, that’s why JR was the perfect partner for that. All the pics we use to stick on our walls was taken from the young kids of the favelas. And then we did create the whole installation above it, with the concrete ground and the house roughly made. DO BRAZEOU! It was a hard work to set up everything but the result is really cool. I mean, to be really honest I were not the guy behind the workout session, but my partner GREG did a good job on it. (for ones… lol)

Many people keep asking what is this new space about? How do you gonna call it?

(…)

Well this space is actually a store+a gallery+a pop-up shop+ a black rainbow brand flagship… Because you gonna find all the items of our own brand. It is a mix of everything we do love and we want to share with visitors, friends and family. You can call it ARCHIVES, LA CAVE or BKRW space…

We just dont care about labels and name anyway.

Check after the jump all the backstage pics of the whole installation. And come to see us! Support us!

Open to the public from 3.30 PM to 7.00 PM, Tuesday to Friday. 68 rue des archives. PARIS 75003.

1 EURO sneakers – woodwood

woodwood — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:27:56 +0000

Some sneaker news that is actually interesting:

ADIDAS TO LAUNCH 1 EURO SHOE

German sports brand Adidas is planning to make “one-euro shoes” to offer to people who can’t afford to buy shoes, with pilot production to begin next year in Bangladesh.

The project has been inspired by Nobel Peace Prize winner Huhammad Yunus, who suggested the social business project to the company.

Yunus is the pioneer of micro-loans, which help the poor start their own businesses. Adidas said that the €1 price tag (equivalent to 89p) was more of a concept and that the final price of the shoes might be slightly higher.

The sports brand has agreed to make the shoes on a non-profit basis, selling them at no more than the cost of materials and manufacture.

It is not known if the shoes will have the Adidas three-stripes label on them, or be sold under some other group brand. Runau said it had been suggested the shoes not be branded at all, but this was being studied. ‘We’re just at the beginning,’ he said.

The Adidas move matches that by other multinational companies eager to show social responsibility, such as drug companies offering low-cost medicines in poor nations or technology companies trying to develop the ‘$100-laptop’.

It is not known if the trainers will be unbranded or feature the Adidas three-stripes label.

Last year Adidas was criticised for the amount it allegedly paid workers at its Chinese factories.

Its move to produce the shoes in Bangladesh will create jobs for the country’s garment workers who are some of the poorest paid in the world.

You ever had a good idea? Probably not as good as this one.

My good friend Chris Lee from CtotheJL and Good Wood blessed the kid (literally…) with 3 exclusive laser engraved Jesus pieces. Now, I’ve had these for a few weeks but been hadn’t had the chance to post them— I’m usually faster than that!

Peep the ultra limited red joint— fire (not in a sacrilegious way obviously)…

Hit Good Wood and CtotheJL for the scoop on how you could be saved.

Thanks Chris!
