A l o h a r e a d er s Welcome to Sport & Street, the House of Flora edition. First of all, thank you for being here at BREAD & BUTTER, thank you for reading this. It means you are part of Sport & Street – part of our big family. My name is Joey Elgersma, your product manager for Sport & Street + D.O.C.K. On the following pages we will guide you through the highlights of the week, but before we do that I would like to give you a run-down of the time leading up to this July show: The first da ys of the SS12 season… It was a rainy day after the January edition of Bread & Butter, the BBC documentary series Human Planet was over and my remote control batteries were dead. My Sport & Street partner of the time, the infamous, curly-haired superwoman Michal Tesler from Berlin made the announcement that she was leaving us to go surfing in Bali for a couple of months and would then be focusing on her own online magazine in the future. I was in shock, how would I manage without her? But no fear, a few months down the line and I am still alive and going strong. Even though I still miss you, Curly Sue! A new era… The super swaggy man you see next to me is my old friend and new partner in crime, Mr Lee Stuart. He is a romantic neon hippie with a penchant for Dipset, crazy women and the movie Dirty Dancing. We met eight years ago in our hometown of Amsterdam, and now the two of us are responsible for your Hangar 1 experience. Welcome Lee, it’s great to have you here. Wishing you all the luck in the world for your first show! Awaiting you this week at House of Flora… I am proud of the brand list growing even stronger and the fact that we have been able to bring in new brands and welcome back some great ones, as well as the most relevant media partners and important buyers. Our prestige project, the D.O.C.K. – Department of Contemporary Keynotes, is going into its second season with an incredible, completely fresh line-up. On top of that we have been working on an awesome tropically themed collaboration with WeSC. We firmly believe in the motto “work hard, play hard” so there will be plenty of opportunities to party too. Get ready for it: we are presenting the first ever Sport & Street Festival, with the illest DJs from Amsterdam, Paris and London playing alongside the US’ finest hip hop artists of the moment! The festival will take place at the Festsaal Kreuzberg on 5th and 6th July, but more about that later… Sport & Street has always been the perfect example of mixing business with pleasure. This year we have fine-tuned both elements. Trust us when we say we’ll make sure you have another season packed with experiences you will never forget. Bringing all this together was another tough but truly exciting ride. Aloha kãkou, Joey Follow Sport & Street on Twitter & Instagram: @joeyelgersma @lee_stuart

u r ba n e a r s The good folks at Urbanears are treading new territory this month! Although they’ve been in the business for years now, July sees the release of their first ever DJ headphone: Zinken. Developed with the professional DJ in mind and with respect to the budget of the unpaid amateur, Zinken is chock-full of handy features like the turn-cable and ZoundPlug. Zinken is designed to be ultrawearable and does not absorb odours and sweat, whilst sitting comfortably on your head for long periods of time. It thrives in a DJ environment, but also excels at day-to-day use. Zinken drops on 15 July in seven different colours, with three more available from August. s p o r t & s t r e e t: S 18 . 3
O n i t s u k a t i g er Onitsuka Tiger has been part of sneaker culture since 1949 when Kihachiro Onitsuka started his small business in Kobe, Japan. Since then he has played a huge part in the industry's history by kicking off the jogging boom in the 1970s. In 1977 we saw the birth of ASICS, which meant Onitsuka Tiger went off the radar for a while until its great comeback in 2001. Ever since then Onitsuka Tiger has been cast as a niche Japanese brand with evergreen products that ensure a loyal and dedicated customer base. ASICS has also provided a lifestyle angle with ASICS SportStyle, which has had several successes with products like the AARON. Onitsuka Tiger has now decided to combine the entire lifestyle range of the brand and all its products together under one roof. The aim is to further consolidate the brand on the market and offer a more aggressive and competitive range to current and future retailers. There will be a visible difference in the way Onitsuka Tiger comes on the market from spring 2013, but what remains constant is the inherently Japanese attitude and the pioneering spirit of the founder. Pictured here is the ONITSUKA TIGER Omotesando store in Tokyo. s p o r t & s t r e e t: S 11 . 1
s u p er s u n g l a s s e s We love SUPER for continuously raising the bar in the eyewear sector. Their AW 2012–2013 Humanism collection “brings together and promises to cater to all manners of life, taste and persona lity” with the connecting threads of solid design and the new-retro SUPER aesthetic. Pictured here is one of our favourites, the Tapestry Giaguaro. s p o r t & s t r e e t: S 11 . 2
C l a r k s O r i g i na l s As the whole street wear scene grew up (a bit) the past years, one of our favorite shoes is the Desert Boot. Music and style go hand in hand in this little scene of ours so it’s only right that for SS13 Clarks Originals celebrates their classic and the recent comeback of vinyl “at the same damn time”. After all, music on vinyl was perfected in 1948 and the Desert Boot launched just two years later. For men and for women the collection takes as its inspiration the black vinyl records of yesteryear - grooves and all. Working in harmony with the Desert Boot’s trademark silhouette and its unmistakable crepe sole, the vinyl motif stitched onto the heel adds an exciting new dimension to one of the world’s most enduring styles. s p o r t & s t r e e t: S 10 . 2
