Here is the 2nd part of the Paris sneaker shop reviews! Just the few stores down from Sneaker Gallery there’s ADN snkr Lab. I’ve contacted Thomas before and we had a meeting scheduled to talk about sneakers, ADN and HYPEBEAST of course! The main thing that struck me was the small space and the dark atmosphere. All the walls and floors are painted black. They told me the whole concept behind store was that the name means DNA – the core of the sneaker game and that’s why it’s called the Snkr Lab. Even the logo (DNA formed shoe laces) gives out hints that these guys are serious players in the sneaker game. The small hints here and there that only true sneakerheads could understand.

The adidas Surface to Air art exhibition took place at the adidas Original Store in New York.
It’s a really cool exhibit where the guys from Surface to Air took 180 pairs of white/white/gum Samoa trainers, shredded them in their boxes at a commercial shredder, and then re-constituted custom made replicas of two classics of modern design – Mies Van Rohe’s “Barcelona” chair and Le Corbusier’s “Grand Comfort” chair. They also made two 30 foot paintings and a pair of videos for the exhibit – all of which are on display at the NY store, before going to London, Berlin, Tokyo, Miami (for Art Basel), and LA.
Two new Dunk High with fabulous designs will be available coming this Fall 2005. Via EnglandMJ7 from NT.
