Kicks and Snare x Midnight Marauders
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Kicks and Snare | Fri. Jul. 24
KICKS & SNARE
The Deadstock Sneaker Buy/Sell/Trade Party
-----------------------------------------------------
Presented by FAMILY TREE
+Sponsored by: IRIS, Deadly Design, SKAM, MORE Creative, Mixtape Massacre & Xixgon International.
-----------------------------------------------------
We’ve got mad love for sneakers and mad love for music!
This event is dedicated to the people who feel the same way.
-----------------------------------------------------
Sneakers and music have been intertwined since the beginning…
More prominent in the early 80s, the ‘Golden Era’ gave birth to a new sound which went hand in hand with distinctive style and fresh sneakers:
from Run DMC to Adidas, Boogie Down Productions to Air Jordan’s, etc.
The tradition still continues on today: from De La Soul to their own Dunk SB’s, Yeezy to Yeezy’s…
No wonder why we’ve got a fix for Kicks and Snare.

Dover Street Market x Supreme
The first time I went to Dover Street Market (London, England) was back in 2006/2007.
Back when they sold Comme des Garcons tees out of a vending machine.
Now...this collabo takes the cake
.

.
Dover Street Market carries an assortment of goods from Japan
including Undercover, Visvim, etc.
Back then, these ran for about $200.00...

Love Language | Reflection Eternal feat. Les Nubians
Probably one of the best Hip-Hop LOVE Songs...
Listen to the lyrics
-----------------------------------------------
...Remember when we explored the beach
Swam in the ocean and saw beneath
How the colours of the coral reef looked like the illest floral piece
That's what your beauty reminds me of...
(Reflection Eternal - Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek, Train of Thought 2002)

In Search Of...
If you're a Dj that does NOT play Top 40, you'll know that a good venue is hard to find.
There are many places out there...but only few that cater to the specifics.
NOW Magazine is one source we turn to.
