Sat down with Eddie Cruz and the one and only James Bond from Undftd and went over everything from their beginnings and inspirations to their input in the latest adidas 3-Way Consortium project.

Has been a great trip for me and it has finished with a proper scoop!!!

Been waiting for something like this

“True fans of New Era Caps have one thing in common: their favorite cap will get dirty.  We now have a great solution to your problem.  Taking all we have learned for the past 80+ years in producing quality caps, and created a cleaning kit that will bring your cap back to its original luster.  A simple three step process is all it takes.  The 20th step to building the perfect fitting cap is giving it a clean shape.  This is what sets us apart from the rest.  Along with cleaning your cap, we also offer yout the ability to add that perfect shape back to your caps.”

Good new collection of tees from Caked Out

Some of my favourites are below.

Tried to get the low down on the 3-Way Consortium model they are working on.

Thanks guys!!

By bringing together a handpicked crop of 12 global retail figureheads, all given full freedom to do whatever they want with 5 iconic 3-Striped silhouettes as 3 unique groups, adidas have entrusted their valued Consortium partners to share their unique vision collectively, using a ‘Work Amongst Yourselves’ brief.

Representing for Toronto, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, London, Stockholm, Shanghai and Tokyo, this collection’s scope is truly global. Patta, Alife, Limited Editions and Sneakers’n’stuff make up the first group, Goodfoot, Undefeated, DQM and Huf make up the second, with the trio completed by the formation of ACU, D-Mop, Crooked Tongues and VA.

The first wave of 3Way Consortium releases from adidas Originals unites three of Europe’s leading sneaker boutiques – Patta, Sneakersnstuff and LimitEditions, representing Amsterdam, Stockholm and Barcelona respectively, with New York’s A.R.C. Opting to rework a shoe each in their own unique style, all four join forces for a fifth shoe that reflects the best of all involved. An eclectic collection, somehow it proves totally cohesive as a whole, reflecting the individual visions of all concerned.

Loving the Superstar, remind me of my NBHDs.

Peace.

He must be really busy at he moment though as he wasn’t available to talk with me – apparently he is out of town at the moment.

Spoke with the other Matt in the shop – who eventually agreed to let me go and meet one of the Goodfoot designers.

If you follow my blog you will know that I have been hot on the heels of the new Consortium project – well, here is my first official scoop.

Have posted up two videos from my trip to the Goodfoot store in Toronto.

Watch the 2nd video to get the drop on the first model.
