Yesterday, I accidentaly found this newly-opened streetwear shop in Düsseldorf called “SOUQ”. The store front looked pretty nice and so I decided to step in and see what they have to offer. I think, they were still unpacking, therefore it was a little hard to see what brands they will carry. Nevertheless, I spotted some pretty incredible stuff!

Update: The store is located on Mühlenstr. 4 right in the heart of the city, check out their facebook here!

When it comes to sneakers, “Supreme NYC” has always provided extremely high quality designs that sold-out in minutes. They have worked with pretty much every big label from “Clarks” to “Vans” but yet again it’s their “Nike” collaborations that I adore the most.

The standout release from the ongoing catalogue of “Nike” x “Supreme NYC” shoes is certainly the their rendition of the Blazer silhouette. The choice of classic colorways Varsity Red, Sail and Black mixed with the use of excentric materials such as snakeskin or quilted leather make this one of my favorite sneakers of all time!

Lately, it looks like Disney has increased it's marketing efforts to get a little more trendy and fashionable. Starting with a New Era basecap collaboration it is now targeting the High-Fashion sector with some great video spots. During last year's Christmas time, some of their famous characters were given the Fashionista-makeover by slimming down the silhouettes and by letting them wear some of the hottest brands right now like Balenciaga or Givenchy.

Last week, I wrote a post on the upcoming Nike x UNDFTD collaboration, the "Bring it Back"-pack. While writing about the release, I actually decided to try my luck and make a trip to the NIGH shop in Cologne on Saturday. Unfortunately I have all my university finals coming up so I knew that I wouldn't have the time to be there 3 hours early which basically minimized my chances of getting my hands on this sought after release.

MOLIMU essentials: the Nike x UNDFTD "Bring it Back" launch

Since the sneaker game hasn't been very exciting recently, this collabo is definately a breath of fresh air. The second pairing of Nike and Rapper, Designer and Style-icon Kanye West has created a buzz that we haven't really seen since the classic releases of the Staple "Pigeon Dunks" or some of the Supreme collaborations.

And after spotting the shoes on Yeezy's feet for quite a few months, we finally got good quality pictures and a release date this week: April 13th. It looks like this date counts only for the US though, as "The Good Will Out" in Cologne gave out the news today that the release will be pushed back a few weeks here in Germany!

The only other store that will carry the shoe in Germany is "Solebox" which is quite an interesting move since I remember talking to the owner Hikmet a couple years ago about a dispute with Nike that led to Solebox not carrying the brand anymore. I am glad that they seem to have overcome their differences and hope for some interesting collaborations in the future.

The shoe itself is more appealing than the first edition in my opinion. It has various egyptian themed details, like the logo on the tongue which features a symbol of the god "Horus" or different signs on the strap. The uppers consist of various materials like nylon mesh, suede and most notably snake skin leather. The shoe also sports a Glow-in-the-Dark sole and an interesting heel that looks good but seems quite copied from the Hussein Chalylan for Puma shoes.
The shoe will come in 5 different colorways. Three of them will release exclusively in the US, while Asia and Europe will each have one exclusive.

While the retail price of 250$ isn't quite cheap, I am sure these shoes will be sold out in a minute and I might actually try and take a shot at it myself. But I will never ever take a tent and camp outside a store for 6 weeks like some guys in the US do (look at the video!), get a life and maybe a job!

Arguably the most boundary-pushing and trendsetting store in retail over the last 1 1/2 decades, Colette has celebrated their birthday with a super sweet 15 party that was far more entertaining than the ones from spoiled little teens seen on MTV.

The three day long party with the title "Colette Carnaval" marked a highlight in Paris and I am sure that the "jardin des Tuileries" hasn't seen an event like this since the royal family's partys a few centuries ago.
The store invited numerous brands, artists etc. to come up with little booths, workshops or games to entertain visitors of all ages. It seemed like everyone tried their best to come up with something original and funny. This way visitors could take ballet classes from "repetto", play Basektball on the "Nike"and "Pigalle" court, buy sneakers on the "Solemart" by "Solebox", watch Kevin Lyons paint a car by "Fiat", jump in "A Bathing Apes"'s banana pool or get their nails done at "Uslu Airlines".

On top of this there where excellent musical guests on hand like MOLIMU's favorites Busy-P, Radio Soulwax or even Kid Cudi!

The fact that a retail store can even get the permission to celebrate its birthday at such an important place in the city of Paris shows not only the influence of Colette, but also tells us a lot about the significance of creativity and fashion in french society.

This little video shows perfectly why Supreme has been able to survive in the competitive market for urban wear. They are in the centre of New York's young in-crowd and connect this advantage to a shopping experience that is different from other stores. This time they celebrated the newest Supreme collaboration with shoemakers Lakai in their in-store bowl by having a relaxed and fun skateboard session with some of the best skaters in the world like Mike Carrol, Guy Mariano or Kevin "Spanky" long.
