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.

Crepe on it, Mac!

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

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!
