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!

In the last MOLIMU essentials post, I introduced you to a first selection of some of my favorite baseball caps from my collection. At the end of that post, I wrote about the Marc Jacobs x New Era collaboration which definately was one of the first mixture of a higher end brand with New Era. Since then many trendy labels have picked up on street influences and urban culture for their collections. As a result the baseball cap has definately seen a resurgence in style and is seen as a legit fashion choice for fasionistas. Therefore, I will show you some of the collaborations that led to this new acceptance of the Basecap.

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.

The “All Gone“ book series by Michael Dupoy has been a staple for every streetwear connoisseur for the couple last years. I’m still quite angry with myself for not getting the earlier editions while they were still available in the Online Shop a while ago, but nevertheless I will probably get every book that they release in the future.

It looks like french Rockwear brand "The Kooples" is trying to set foot in Germany. While it is nearly impossible to miss the brand in Paris, they are not yet very well known over here. It looks like the brand wants to reach out to German customers by starting with two shop in shop concepts. Beginning with an instore Boutique in Berlin's Galerie Lafayette on july 8. a second boutqie in the Alsterhaus Hamburg will follow in september.

I've always liked the label especially their shirts and suits and their advertising campaigns are always entertaining as well, so I am defnately looking forward to this!

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.

KarmaloopTV has provided a nice little clip of the Fool's Gold flagship store opening in New York. DJ A-Trak and his partners in crime from Fool's Gold talk about their store concept and why they decided to turn their old office space into a shop. I really like the idea to give the small record label a retail outlet, especially since they will offer a selection of well picked records as well. A-Trak certainly knows his way around the musical history of the last decades and will probably dig out quite some special pieces!
