Look at the dapper duo on the cover of the new Sole Collector - yep, it's that time of the year when JB open the doors and chequebook to offer another annual dose of unrivalled AJ coverage, including hefty features on the XX3's development and a whole ton of Jordan releases you've never seen before - some amazing, some repulsive. Worth a read, it's available at the usual spots, or by mailing brian@solecollector.com for more information. ...]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
To set off their anniversary year, Converse have reworked their size? concession very nicely indeed. And there's a ton of decent releases on the shelves too, and if the previews we've seen are anything to go on, there's a lot of welcome resurrections on the horizon. Worth a visit. Just ignore the Photoshopped images of Ian Curtis, Sid Vicious and Jefferson Hack (?) on the windows......]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
The Slam City vs Stussy warehouse sale takes place this weekend (16/17th February) - Expect bits from Stussy, Vans, Nike SB, Independent, Huf, eS, New Era, Mighty Healthy, plus the other good stuff you'd expect. Open from 12-5 both days, located at Cordy House, Curtain Road, Shoreditch, both the Gimme 5 and Slam warehouses host a ton of treats, and if it's anything like previous clearouts, some sample niceness. Entrance is a quid, and it's CASH ONLY. Don't be the token credit card wielding chump that frequents these things....]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
Hype monkeys, bargain hunters and resellers - get yourself to London's Hideout on Monday 11th February for the annual sale. Most sales don't deliver. Hideout's usually does, with some pieces from the 'vaults' unleashed for a quick clearance. Expect lots of sullen characters in 800 pound jackets lining Upper St James Street just before the doors open......]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
More Be True Dunk festivities are imminent a little further from home with a Dunk event in Bangkok taking place at Siam Theatre on Friday 15th February with art from Jase and Sam Flores, followed by a post exhibition mashup at Club Culture with music from Japan's finest - the KIKS TYO crew and the mighty Nitro Mic Underground. Lots of rareness, giveaways and free drinks are promised...if you're in the area, get involved....]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
After being on Amazon for about a million years, 'adidas: Brands A-Z book' is finally out. Nicely presented, it's far from exhaustive, but a million times better than the recently released 'Sneakers' from the same publisher. Worth a browse......]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
...we can't be bothered with food/menu related puns, but as an update, here's the output of the Baskets we made as competition prizes. The men's versions are...well....brown, but the ladies pair work best, with some orange 3M. We'll be notifying winners soon....]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
Given that the AM 95 colourway is pretty much ubiquitous, seeing an AM Light in Sergio Lazano's ground breaking make-up is not exactly a shock to the system. Still, to our minds, it's easily one of the best takes on this already rinsed reissue. Available at JD and Size? now......]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
How about some hardcore? Nash Money has kept a low profile lately and we knew he had something up his camouflaged sleeve, but he's outdone himself with an impending Barcelona-based show in association with local heroes, Trust Nobody. Taking place on the 17th (next Thursday) from 7-10:30pm at the Galleria La Cuchara, it looks like the place to be if you're in the area for B&B, when the home city of Gaudi's masterpieces becomes a warmer extension of Shoreditch and Soho. Be there....]]> http://www.crookedtongues.com
We're not jumping for joy at the Dunkin do-not of the oddly tattered BTTYS reissues to kickstart a year of Dunkage, but we're fans of Mark Ward's work, and this creation for Foot Patrol's window display is light years ahead of the usual promotional tat that shoe campaigns generate. Props to all concerned......]]>
