A moment at Kazmattazz

Shoeture UK

Kazmattazz is a shop long associated with sneaker culture here in London and finally the Brick Lane branch stocks Shoeture! I popped in on a sunny Thursday afternoon to do a quick demo and dress some shoes.

Sneakers and independant clothing labels are the bread and butter of the Kazmattaz stores (The original branch is in nearby Hoxton Square), but I was pleasantly surprised to hear Kaz’s collection of classic 90′s hip hop playing instore.

Woah.

Showbiz & A.G.. The Bush Babees, Fu-Schnikens and everyone in between can be heard halfway up Brick Lane, and you will KNOW when you are nearing the shop..

…in case the big sign wasn’t indication enough, heh.

Pumped by the Golden Era hiphop sounds, I proceeded to get to dressing..

Crepe on it, Mac!

Shoeture.co.uk

Crepe by crepe!

Some of you may remember the ‘French’ themed post I did a couple of months ago, and yes I will admit there was a pretty sedate effort to speak the language, but one French word I’m CERTAIN of is ‘crepe‘.

Well at least I WAS!

If anyone can tell us how the word ‘crepes’ became slang for trainers / sneakers, please post it as a comment below, but before you do that, appreciate the event that is Crepe City - The London Sneaker Festival

Shaun from Kazmattazz at Crepe City

Thanks to our people at Kazmattazz we also had the good fortune to exhibit at the event and have been wading through the orders ever since

Shoeture at Crepe City

We’re hoping that this event will come around more often so more collectors are able to exhibit. Yes, Crepe City is THAT popular!

(Props to also due to Trainerholic and Global London)

The B-Connection

Next week (29th September, to be precise) we are gonna be judging the “Dope Pose” competition at B-Better‘s event, The B Connection.

'The B Connection' September 29th

This long awaited event promises to be a night of freshness and flavour, and in featuring former DMC world DJ champion, Psykhomantus, and the first lady of ‘I Love Live’ and ‘Female DJ Takeover’, Melody Kane, we’re preparing to sing along to some party classics, at Villain Bar.

The B-Better team have stated that the first person to recognise which film has inspired the poster and video below, will receive free entry for themselves and 2 guests on the night. Just leave a comment on the blog!

Mac Miller on Nikes

A man that stands a good chance of competing at the ‘Pose Down’ battle at The B Connection is rap superstar freshman, Mac Miller

His hotly anticipated debut album, BlueSlide Park, is released worldwide on November 11, and having caught Mac’s previous mixtape, K.I.D.S., we can vouch for the boy’s skills.

If you haven’t peeped the ‘Nikes on my feet’ video above, what are you waiting for?!

See you at The B Connection, Folks!

Bites and Bricks

Shoeture UK

Poppin!

At the recent Monorex 7th anniversary party I was lucky enough to be introduced to this:

Big Mama's Cake Pops!

Cake on a stick! Ah, Man , it was a dream come true for a sweet-toothed fiend like me, and I can confirm…

!

….They tasted the bomb!

I sense kids parties everywhere are about to be graced with the new lick so get in there first by visiting www.bigmamascakepops.blogspot.com and tell ‘em we sent you!

Shoeture.. in store!

So we’ve pondered, considered, mulled, discussed, ummed, ahhhed and deliberated and have finally settled on an outlet you can grab our gear!

Kazmattazz, Brick Lane

This (admittedly rather blurry) image is of the new branch of East London’s favourite trainer store, Kazmattazz. A range of Shoeture accessories will be available later this month, and you MAY even get a discount if you say, ‘Mantis sent me’.

Be sure to stop in at Kazmattazz,198 Brick Lane, E1 6SA or stay tuned to our Tweeterfeed for updates on when the metal drops this September :o )

Don’t watch that!

Gatecrashing people’s Facebook pages is neither big nor clever, but when we discovered that Jupiterkidz / Stah Talent were holding an event at G-Shock East, we figured we should roll down.

Now that was a jam

A number of up-and-coming talent was given the opportunity to showcase their skills before their peers and supporters in what was surely the first of many events

Beatbox showcase by B-Better's Daniel

.... and you thought INSIDE was ram?!
