Precinct 5 Home of Enplus and Stüssy





On December 10 the doors at the new concept store Precinct 5
were opened. In this classic Amsterdam canal house, once a
police station, you will find clothing originating from pure
street culture. With sophisticated and premium clothing brands
such as Headporter+Porter, Original Fake, Adidas Originals by
Jeremy Scott and Kazuki. Creators of this must see in Amsterdam
are the highly respected Mr. Wix, MassiveMusic and Patta.
Precinct 5 is also the home of the first dutch Stüssy store and
Enplus.

Enplus is about the outfit above the shoes: the perfect jeans,
shirt and jacket. Simple yet functional clothing that has become
fashion staples over the years.

At 12 pm on December 18 Patta will be releasing the Nike
Air Max 1 TZ at Precinct 5. This the last of the Nike x Patta
5 year anniversary collaboration is by far the cleanest shoe
I've seen in a long time. Get ready to line up!

A Fluff x Nike Sb weekend in Barcelona




This weekend was the release of the Fluff Magazine x Nike
Skateboarding 600(!) page book. The event took place in Barcelona with an expo and the release of the Nike SB Zoom Bruin x Fluff.
What do you get when you put 45 pro skaters together in one
place; a hell of a party of course, my other half looked like
he'd been driven over by a train when he got back home. Check
Nalden's site for more foto's and a short video from the event.
The expo in Rotterdam kicks of this saturday December 19 and runs
'til January 17, if you want to get your hands on the very limited
Nike SB Bruin x Fluff sneaker you better get there on time since
they're only releasing 12 pairs. If you're one of those lucky 12 you
will also be going home with your own copy of the book. For more
info head to the Fluff-SB site.

Zeeland

Last week we went on our annual family
get-away weekend. Away this year was the coast
of Holland, Zeeland about an hour drive from
Antwerp. And what we got was a lot of rain!
But when it wasn't pouring there were long walks,
fresh air, a lot of food and drinks and great company.


Sven finally got to wear his new Nike SB jacket and
didn't have any problems with the cold.


A healthy snack: real dutch 'Olie bollen'
Oil balls (my translation). Pretty good but don't
expect to get hungry in the next couple of days..



We rented a spacious house with room for up
to 15 people.

Lovisa Burfitt



One of my favourite Illustrators Lovisa Burfitt crowns the walls at
Restaurant East in Stockholm. Definetly worth a visit when in the
Swedish Capital. Good Asian / Sushi too.

LunarWood TZ






Here's a preview from the new collaboration between Nike Sportswear
and Danish brand Wood Wood. This Hybrid sneakers combines the
classic ACG Wildwood with a Lunar sole. I especially like the thought
of having dry feet in the winter which definetly can be a problem
when enjoing the Belgian climate in sneakers.
The Nike LunarWood TZ will be launched on December 11th at
Wood Wood stores in Cophenhagen, Berlin, and Vienna.
December 19th is set for a global release at select accounts.

"Whereas the original Wildwood was designed mostly for the
purpose of running in nature, this project is all about the city.
Since we rarely go hiking in the mountains, we wanted to bring
the shoe into an urban environment.

The LunarWood is made for the cold and wet Scandinavian nights.
Inspiration comes from the world of Graffiti and going on these
nocturnal expeditions. All Conditions / All City."

And if somebody doesn't know what to give me 4 Christmas...



This is the Bomb! Since I've been looking for the AM1 Huf-Quakes
for quite some time now (us 6 anyone?) I went crazy when I saw
these on the Patta site today. Amsterdam here I come.
To be continued....

Real Bacon from Dave's Quality Meat


So, I found these at Crooked Tongues last week and got so excited
since I knew it would be the perfect christmas gift for my DQM
loving boyfriend. I ordered them immediatly thinking that since they
were already released in the UK there was no way we were going to
get them for the store. Now my only problem was finding somewhere
to hide them 'til the 25th. Yesterday on our day of we were working
in the garden when I get a call from Nike wondering if I would be
interested in their new collaboration with DQM. Could hardly say no
of course and I turn around to see my boyfriend sign for a package
from CT... To make it short: My boyfriend is already wearing his
'Bacon' Nike Air Max90 Current Huaraches and the release at the
store is set for Friday the 11th. Now I just have to figure out what
to give him for Christmas.

Nike Sportswear 21 Mercer






Our trip to New York feels like ages ago altough it's
been only two weeks since we got back. Going through
the photos I realized that I've forgotten to show you
these. In SoHo on Mercer street this Nike Sportswear
Store is located. Here you will find the complete NSW
collection, product exclusives and they also have their
own tshirt collection. For a unique customization experience
be sure to make an appointment at the NIKEiD + Bespoke
studio. I especially enjoyed the interior design and the
staff was incredibly friendly.
