Black Swans was my first Eve Babitz book and I really enjoyed it, enough in fact to recommend it to all of you! It is a collection of nine fictionalised auto-biographical stories set in 1980s Los Angeles. In my opinion, Babitz captured L.A. perfectly, alluring yet tragic. She discusses topics such as AIDS, sex, drugs, jealousy, the Chateau Marmont, the L.A. riots, writing and even refers to Virginia Woolf on a few occasions. 💗 💗 This striking pink and green edition was rereleased earlier this month by @counterpointpress and it has given me a serious case of #californiadreaming. * * * * * * * * * #blackswans #evebabitz #losangeles #shortstories #joandidion #belletristbabe #pinkbooks #stancemuse @stancemuse #stancesocks @stancesocks @fbombtrading #theuncommonthread #socksunday #sockgame #booksandsocks

THE POWER OF BAPE

_en There are a couple brands in the world that have a special, almost magical power. By adding their input, whether it is a staple design or a logo, they can transform a product no one would otherwise care about into a highly sought-after article. As we have seen on many occasions in the past, BAPE is definitely one of these brands. At this point, I would like to clarify that I don’t think that the adidas Dame 4 is a product no one would otherwise care about. However, it was pretty much exclusive to basketball communities until now. When the collaboration with BAPE on this silhouette first surfaced, loads of hype hunting individuals (let’s just call them that) who would otherwise not be bothered about this model’s existence found out that they needed this instalment in their lives.

Even though you can feel my personal bias against these people, they may actually have a point for once, because the world-famous Japanese clothing label really did a great job on this adidas Dame 4. Looking at the shoe itself, adidas’ most innovative basketball sneaker is equipped with the technology you would expect from a model of such description. As appreciated by Damian Lillard when sporting these on court, the shoe features a firm mesh upper on a Bounce-cushioned midsole and gum outsole. The result of A Bathing Ape’s involvement is not that surprising as the majority of the upper got dressed in the brand’s notorious camouflage print. Furthermore, another staple of Nigo’s label was featured – the midsole is covered with the legendary shark-tooth graphic. The final touch is provided by the Varsity College styled ‘WGM’ lettering across the sidewall.

Honestly, BAPE x adidas Dame 4 looks pretty much exactly what we would think a basketball sneaker in collaboration with BAPE would look like. And that’s a good thing if you ask me. I personally believe that the two brands managed to distribute the various famous BAPE patterns and design elements in a very pleasant way. I especially like how they used the space provided by the thicker midsole for the shark-tooth pattern. Generally, I would conclude that this is one of the better sneaker collaborations BAPE has been involved in. What do you reckon? If (whatever your reasons are) you are one of the people who need these shoes in their life, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for Footshop social media channels where you will find more information on the release that is scheduled to take place on February 16th.

_cz Na světě existuje několik značek, které mají speciální schopnost, téměř magickou schopnost. Tím, že se do něčeho přidají, ať už přinesou svůj klasický design nebo logo, dokáží proměnit produkt, o který by se normálně nikdo nestaral, ve vysoce žádaný artikl. Jak jsme již v minulosti několikrát viděli, BAPE rozhodně je jednou z těchto značek. V tuhle chvíli bych rád řekl, že si nemyslím, že adidas Dame 4 je produkt, o který by se normálně nikdo nestaral. Na druhou stranu je fakt, že se o tuto siluetu zajímaly především basketbalové komunity. Když se kolaborace s BAPE na této siluetě poprvé dostala na povrch, velké množství jedinců, pro které je hype okolo produktu rozhodujícím faktorem a které by tento model jinak nejspíš vůbec nezajímal, najednou zjistilo, že tuto verzi potřebují ve svém životě.

I když asi cítíte moje osobní zaujetí proti těmto lidem, možná mají tentokrát svým způsobem pravdu. Světově proslulý japonský label opravdu odvedl na těchto Dame 4 skvělou práci. Když se podíváme na botu samotnou, nejinovativnější basketbalová adidas teniska je vybavena technologií, která by se od takového modelu očekávala. Bota je složená z pevného vršku ze síťoviny, který je postaven na podrážce s Bounce technologií a gum outsole, což určitě oceňuje i Damian Lillard, který v tomto modelu hraje. Výsledek zapojení A Bathing Ape není příliš překvapivý, jelikož většina vršku je pokryta slavným camo vzorem této značky. Použita byla také další klasika Nigova labelu, jelikož midsole je pokryta legendárním printem žraločích zubů. Finální dotyk poskytují písmena WGM ve Varsity College stylu, která jsou vyobrazena na boku boty.

Upřímně, BAPE x adidas Dame 4 vypadá přesně tak, jak bychom očekávali že bude vypadat basketbalová teniska ve spolupráci s BAPE. A to je podle mě dobře. Osobně se mi zdá, že se oběma značkám podařilo rozmístit různé slavné BAPE vzory a designové elementy velice vkusně. Především se mi líbí, jakým způsobem využili prostor, který poskytuje silnější midsole, k vyobrazení žraločích zubů. Obecně si myslím, že toto je jedna z lepších kolaborací na teniskách, do kterých se BAPE kdy pustil. Co na to říkáte vy? Pokud (z jakéhokoliv důvodu) máte pocit, že tyto tenisky potřebujete, pak pozorně sledujte socials Footshopu, kde se o tomto dropu, který je naplánovaný na 16. února, dozvíte více.

Mimochodem, jestli vás zajímá, kdo tyhle tenisky pro nás testoval, podívejte se na nejnovější video na Youtube kanálu Footshopu.
