It is not the 25th of December, neither my birthday but honestly all the brands and my friends seems in a real Xmas mood those past feew weeks. I mean its always frustrating to not get thank you when you’ve offering a gift. So this a MERCI for all those peeps who are thinking about me when they’ve got extra goodies.

ADIDAS ORIGINAL x II COMP (Ivan LENDL pro-model)

François is one the head shoes product manager (maybe not his exact title) of ADIDAS ORIGINALS France. He is always trying to dig out amazing vintage silhouette. He was at the beginning of the AMERICANA x PARIS when we decided to work together on this launch. Now he just send me this new shoes. For all those who did love tennis. You can’t have forgotten Ivan LENDL. Here comes his shoes. 20 years later. lol

ASICS x BBB x SALMON and BUTTER

Well… HumHum… Ive elected this shoes in my special top 5 ugliest sneakers of the year when PHIL x SPORT&STREET x BBB decided to show it to me. (Sorry to be honest). After seeing it since more than 2 weeks, let’s say that this shoes is as ugly as the first sight. But honestly Im starting to like it… And honestly ASICS GEL silhouette really rock! Va comprendre charles!

HS x NEW ERA

When I was in Berlin DAVID x HS welcome me very nicely in his office. Apart the fact that JEFF was always sleeping noisily right next to me. It was a good times. The HS guys were just received this very nice NEW ERA collab. It is a really great one. Nice fresh preppy colors and a new fit and silhouette. Really confortable to wear. Merci les gars!

QWSTION Backpack

My old friend SEBASTIAN who Ive met when he was working for BURTON, is now founder of a great bag brand called QWSTION. He was in PARIS for CAPSULE and got a nice surprise for me. This bag is really great. Nice shape, very good materials. And very very nice details. Im happy!

NIKE x STAGES x Messenger Bag

After STAGES exhibition x PARIS, when it was about to leave the gallery. We’ve received this great NIKE x MESSENGER BAG with some YELLOW craies (in french) and a LANCE AMSTRONG x LIVESTRONG bracelet. The bag has not amazing materials but got a real great shape and design. With a perfect all-black and a yellow touch make-up.

Today was a good day… lol

P_RODRIGUEZ x ICECUBE x remix… (bonus track of the day)

I think that we are really lucky to work in PARIS. We probably got some of the best restaurants in the world.

Yesterday I’ve got a very nice lunch with Arnaud PAGES (undercover side of BKRW, advertising manager since the last 6 months, doing a great job).

Arnaud is probably an artist star in HK thanks to MILK and TOUCH and many more interview he did for his ECLOSION collab and exhibitions in CHINA.

Anyway we’ve been in that traditionnal french food restaurant, that TEX told me to go. The only take away restaurant where you can grab FOIE GRAS sandwich for 7 euros!

We are not frenchies if we are not eating everyday frogs and “escargot” !!! lol

And then a “small” cassoulet (traditionnal french west coast dish)…

And finally LES DESSERTS (panacotta with vanilla… for me), (creme brûlée for Arnaud)

and for sure a big nap right after all that! lol

When we were walking in the streets, we’ve bumped into FRANCOIS DURET x ADIDAS, with the latest OBYO KAZUKI KURAISHI jacket… He was just going out the new parisian ADIDAS showroom…

How come we never got that jacket in BLACK in France? argh argh sigh!
