Going to the Hong Kong adidas House Party tonight to celebrate “60 Years of Soles and Stripes”! Nice invitation from KP at Clot.

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.

An invitation from The Jens…
“Meet Mr. Shelltoe” exhibition in collaboration with CODE Magazine.
CODE gallery store, Oudezijds Vooburgwal 121, Amsterdam.
27th of June - 18th of July.

I arrived in Bangkok for the Crooked Tongues BBQ early in the morning the day of the party and suffered from a hard case of jet lag. After a 6 hour nap, I met up with the boys from Crooked Tongues and Ben from Adidas to go to the BBQ at 100 Rajdamri, inside the The Royal Bangkok Sports Club. It offers two good restaurants, a nice bar and an oudoors lounge area. The influences from streethorsing are obvious. One of the restaurants is called Trot Bar and the other one is an Italian restaurant called Fallabella, which name is derived from Falabella - a rare breed of miniature horses. The servers are all wearing equestrian outfits.

First thing when we arrived to the venue was getting the VIP band put on.
I also managed to get the red band intended for the underaged.

After a few Singhas, it was time for me and Ben to get a complimentary foot massage.

The CT crew had designed a bunch of sneakers specially for the event.
Here’s the Adidas x CT BKK BBQ Superskate.

Going to the Crooked Tongues BBQ party in Bangkok on Sunday.
Lots of great photos and stories guaranteed.
Don’t miss the report early next week when I’ve recovered.

Playing with one of the two Porsche Cayenne tyres that we bought at our favourite garage near Placa Espanya.

Just got a pair of the Converse x Fragment All Star High.
Looks good.

I guess that you’ve seen the Adidas Pontus sailing shoe already, but do you know how it got its name? My buddies over at Adidas HQ decided to make a last minute name change of their spring/summer 2006 sailing shoe to “Pontus”. Why? Just to annoy me of course. The signature shoe with my portrait on the tongue is limited to 3 pairs only… Thanks Adidas for the shoes and thanks TheJens for the nice photos.
