Following on from the release of the latest reissues of the Clydes and the Suedes, Puma have created this nice little book dedicated to the shoes, and the man who made them famous: Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier. The book features 96 pages of contributing stories from the likes of MC Shan, Martha Cooper, Doze Green and Phil Thornton, as well as some old adverts, catalogues and stuff. Info via Crooked Tongues.
Vinyl Pulse conducted an interview with Paul Budnitz, who’s known as the owner of KidRobot. He shows his passion in toys through out the whole interview, I think thats part of the reason why he is sucessful. Click here to read the interview.
« Just For Kicks » is one of the four features that will be shown at the 2005 Res Fest (the international digital film festival), travelling this year to 33 cities in 15 countries and 6 continents !

Ok everybody. I’ve just got back from Paris and have reviews of most of the important sneaker spots of this amazing city.
Let me start with my comment on the sneaker culture: they love Air Maxes and everyone and their mothers wear AM’s. Unfortunately, just like in the US, the fakes have reached this continent as well but instead of Air Jordans it’s mostly Air Maxes. Most people who wear them don’t care or know about it. Sad, but true.
Now the happy part, the review. Besides checking out the obvious toursist atractions (eg. Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, The Versailes, Notre Dame etc.). As an official Hype Beast I had to check the local spots for sneakers!!

UTA has posted pictures of the new L-Style (lifestyle )collection by the Jordan Brand.
It seems like JB is trying very hard on the lifestyle tip lately. It’s all good in my book as long the designs are well thought out and put together in a smart concept. If any of you remeber the “Two-3 Collection” which was discountinued a couple years ago, L-Style seems to be its’ latest offspring. It focuses on off court apparel and footwear. Now you can represent on the streets as well.
