Nike & Christies Sneaker Auction

Nike is holding a rather interesting Charity Auction for 5 pairs of +41 Nike iD’s for the benefit of the Schtifti foundation in Switzerland. What makes this auction so interesting isn’t because only the kicks are iconic, but rather who they are auctioning them off with, because instead of throwing them up on E-bay the way they done in the past with the Eminem Nike iD Auction. This time Nike decided to get famous auction house Christie’s to help them hold the first ever sneaker auction made by a major auction house in history at Zürich’s trendiest night spot: Mascotte in Bellevue.

Adidas Materials of the World Indonesia Series

Adidas Materials of the World Indonesia Series

Here is the Indonesia pack from the Adidas Materials of the World series. The Indonesia series includes two Metro Attitude Hi’s, a tracksuit and a cap. Inspired by the very act of creating a Batik-Made fabric which has a strong symbolic meaning for the Javanese. It is said that each time the Batik craftsman executes a particular intricate pattern the design is not only fixed to the cloth, but the meaning of the design is engraved ever more deeply in the soul of the Artisan. This highly skilled process, involving complicated dyeing and dye-resist processes, is regarded highly by many Indonesians as one of the six Priyayi or “High Arts”. Image/Info: Overkill
