Dropped by the adidas House Party here in Hong Kong last night.
Here’s a short recap.
Me and my friend Kazuki Kuraishi.
A photo of Ian Brown wearing the pinstriped suit from Kazuki’s Spring/Summer 2009 “Originals by Originals” collection for adidas Originals.
I had these mi adidas Superstar II made a while ago. As all the texts I considered for the embroidery were blocked, I decided to pay homage to Upplands Väsby - the fantastic Stockholm suburb where I spent my early years.

Skateistan Fundraiser CPH 09 invites you to a great fundraising party in Copenhagen, Denmark, on March 12. 2009. Worldfamous Trentemöller and many more music acts are supporting the project by playing for free on this evening. A lot of very talented artists among them Olafsur Eliasson has donated art for our beneficiary art auction. Famous chefs from Gasthaus4Experiment in Germany are coming to cook extraordinary food, skaters are coming from all over Europe to participate in our skatecompetition, where Eastpack has already donated 4 x 1000€ for price money that will go directly to Skateistan! Now all we need is YOU at the party, so book your flight and fill that slot in your calender!
Skateistan works for a better Afghanistan. Through the construction of skate parks in Afghanistan’s major cities Skateistan will provide the Afghan youth with a safe environment where kids can be kids and where skateboarding becomes a much needed breathing hole in a country with little to offer for the youth. Skateistan is Afghanistan’s first dedicated skateboarding school. It engages the growing numbers of urbanised youth through skateboarding and provides new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction and education. Student capacity will be developed in skateboarding, skateboarding instruction, project management, life skills and English. Our aim is to develop a program that empowers youth to take leadership on issues important to them and build networks that will counter current ethnic barriers.
