“They appear to be the work of a sneaker obsessed character known only as the ‘Trainer Angel’.

City skate parks and popular bars on the arts and music scene appear to have been visited
overnight by the Trainer Angel. The installations are numbered and each location has a shoe
positioned in impossible high up locations as a physical signature. The sneakers that have so far
been spotted range from Nike Air Max, Supra, Asics and ltd edition Vans.

Close to each location is a giant sized paste up that wouldn’t look out of place on the streets
of Paris or Barcelona. The design is a bold industrial graphic design with strong lines, featuring
between the wings of the body a giant digital QR code.

Scan the QR code with your mobile phone and you’re taken through to the home of the Trainer
Angel where you can view exclusive images and connect with the Trainer Angel directly using
social media.

Newcastle upon Tyne continues to establish itself as a creative and leading cultural city with a hive
of creative commerce and business bringing a different kind of spotlight on the famous Geordie
shores.

Dale Parr, of Soleheaven says: “We worked last year on an exhibition with 20 artists including Dan
Baldwin, INSA and Mr Jago in an exhibition in Shoreditch. Called Kicks N Canvas. I wanted to do
something this year that was a little closer to home and directly related to the business.”

Future Soul Records presents & THE G++DNESS EP

Album CoverFuture Soul Records presents… “THE G++DNESS” EP Out Today!

Today, Seattle-based imprint, Future Soul Records releases “THE G++DNESS” EP – a two-headed beat beast that features FSR veterans John Arnold & Jeremy Ellis, with vocals and bass from Detroit frontman Paul Randolph, and their electric cover of Circle City Band’s 1982 classic boogie track, “Magic”, which goes head-to-head with Bugz in the Attic beat prodigy Daz-I-Kue, and the poetic styling’s of LA vocalist Joy Jones, in their rendition of Unlimited Touch’s, “In the Middle.” With a smooth blend of programming, live musical performance and soulful vocals, “THE GOODNESS EP”, will take you back to the “golden age” of dance floor boogie by incorporating elements of house, funk, disco and the many other sounds boogie opened the door to in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.

“In the Middle” features Daz-I-Kue on the beats and boards, with long-time collaborator Joy Jones on vocals, (accompanied by John Arnold, Jeremy Ellis, Amy Arena and K Claude Harris). This tune offers the listener a lively boogie tune that takes you back… just in time to be shifted into the future as Dominic “Domu” Stanton, producer/DJ/remix master, who has announced his exit from the industry after years at the top of the underground production game, provides one of his mini-maximum remixes, listen and love, as this may turn out to be Domu’s official final funky curtain call.

“Magic” features Detroit’s own John Arnold & Jeremy Ellis, both of whom provide not only their solid production skills, but the long-lost art of musicianship with Jeremy on keys, John on guitar and another Detroit special guest, Paul Randolph (a journeyman player, and recent collaborator with Jazzanova) on bass and providing vocals. To round it out, up-start producer, Ezel (Yoruba Records) kicks in with a deep, soulful House remix that doubles as part epilogue to “THE G++DNESS EP” as well as part prelude… A foreshadowing of the good things to come from FSR in the near future.

*Stay tuned for the full length release of “THE G++DNESS” coming out Fall, 2010.*

Ken Block x Huck Gee x DC Double Label Project – Preview

ken-block-huck-gee-dc-double-label-project-5

For Fall 2010 DC Co-Founder and Rally Team Driver Ken Block has teamed with famous illustrator and toy designer Huck Gee to create a one of a kind premium Double Label Collection for the DC LIFE line. Huck Gee, known for his evil skull illustration and Kid Robot toy, created custom graphics for Block. A rally fan and self-proclaimed rally geek, Gee gave his artistic touch to a collection that includes DC’s latest rally silhouette, the Pro Spec 2.0, a premium t-shirt and a fitted New Era cap.

Huck drew a custom logo for the project, featuring a re-imagined Hulk skull in a black shape for a play on Ken’s last name. Adding to that is a tonal monogram of Ken’s #43 in a sleek all black colorway featured on the shoe and cap.

More then a shoe for aesthetics, the Pro Spec 2.0 model incorporates many DC-exclusive technologies and designs, giving it ultimate driving performance. Dynamic Grip Technology, or DGT, is an innovative rubber bottom ensuring maxium control and stability while behind the wheel. DC’s Drop-in Cushion System was also integrated into the Pro Spec 2.0 for exceptional shock absorption and comfort while driving on even the most rugged and harsh terrain. Heel Gel inserts add to the shoe’s technology by soothing jarring shakes and providing added comfort. The shoe is also built with a special leather that allows for extreme abrasion resistance, stain resistance, and waterproofing.

The Double Label project series began in 2001 as part of DC’s Special Project category. Developed as a means for DC to team with many of the notable creative influences that surrounded the skateboarding culture, the projects have resulted in unique opportunities for brand expression and development.

No official release date is available at this so stay tuned for further details and click here for an exclusive preview only provided on Sneaker Obsession. Continue reading →
