Yesterday I’ve reacted to quick against the last PUMA sneakers collections (THE ZOO)… I’ve only react to some pics, and aint react to the full informations with.

So SOLEBOX actually did this collection in collab with PUMA. So it’s not a bootleg. SOLEBOX and HIKMET are behind it. So ALL MY APOLOGIES TO PUMA. They’ve been to the deep roots to make their own one.

BUT still (and even all my respect and friendship for HIKMET) what the point to do the same sneakers with two different brand? Is it a signature?

Okay what a shame !!! When I saw that on sneakers.fr I could not believe it was real…

New PUMA ZOO sneakers collection. Litterally COPIED & PASTED from  “PURPLE DEVIL x NEW BALANCE“ from HIKMET x SOLEBOX. Unbelievable!!! What a shame…

I mean how come a big european brand such as PUMA dare to do something like this. Well well well… I’ve written a couple of post ago sneakers culture is not dead… If brands keep doing some boring cut and paste design shoes, if sneakers brands dont try to re-invent the future of their brands, they gonna die to over-use about their past.

Check now on BKRW since yesterday new KIKS TYO collection preview!!!

For all the sneakers fans or AKI HOSHINO ones…

Pre order already started since a couples of dayz… So be ready!

I love party pictures… Maybe because Im not so often out late night those last years…

Anyway, the first website I ever seen about it was LASTNIGHTPARTY. Wild, sexy and sensual. Dark and dirty with nice pictures and amazing crazy nights. Love the energy you can find randomly in some pics…

Then I’ve heard about COBRASNAKE… I check it and the pictures were again dark, energetic, crazy, sensual, sexy… blablah… And then I realize “oh mon dieu! it is kinda the same website (with less girls for cobra)”… Same black layout, same mosaic picture navigation system…

I dont really know who start and honestly I dont care.

The world is fucking small and 2 guyz may have the same idea, specially in a photographic world where everything (and I really mean it) has been already done or try.

So let’s try to resume and find some differences :

wetty and fatty drunken women/men hairs DRAW

humhum…

Check the websites and let me know what ya think… Its kinda disturbing. Same people, same kind of pictures. One is a tall black photographer this other one is a short white one… wow… lol

In MAGIC I bumped into the “insolent“ Nico x STAPLE DESIGN x REED SPACE. HE gave me – Only because I were doing on him an alligator german souplex for his insolentness… – the CD they’ve made with DJ MURO for their 10th anniversary

… And since then I can’t stop to listen this CD. It’s some amazing old school songs. All sampled for the best hiphop hits. I love to hunt for original songs. And there are some real classical inside this CD.

Anyway this CD is dope… And it’s remind me that I’ve got some really good other one from RED CLAY too… (last magic lol). MUSIC the deep roots of our culture/market isn’t it…

I’ve got nearly one week of late. A tons of pictures to share and to show. But when you come back home after 3 weeks of day offs… Its kinda tricky to manage everything.

But this morning when Im was waking up, I’ve heard a bad news. JEAN FRANçOIS BIZOT is dead. I never knew this person personnally. But his workd and the free x underground x intelligent media network he built was always so inspiring to me. This guy was the founder of one of the first underground magazine ACTUEL and then the first free radio RADIO NOVA. This radio has seen all the greatest Dj started on air. The hiphop and the electro sounds start here. I’ve heard some sounds and music I’ve never heard. Then he launched NOVA MAG. And I used it a lot to build my own magazine then… So inspiring…

BIG UP! Rest in Free Peace!
