It’s a sneaker thing

by Taavi Kuisma on Jul.27, 2010, under Clothing, Headlines, Social Media & Advertising

It’s just one of those days when galaxies explode, and you go need to use some superpowers and multiply in order to get everything done. Then it’s 7.30 pm and hey, you’re almost done. I love busy days but the downside is that you don’t really have time to sit down and blog. Now writing it’s like my therapy, every has their medicine and mine’s this blog right here. Writing is not for everyone but personally I have found that it’s a pretty good way to channel your creative flow if you don’t have the skills to draw. See, I’ve always loved creative stuff like writing, drawing, painting and building stuff. I just came to realize writing is what I’m best at (out of these skills of course).

Kicks Edition – A.D.I.D.A.S.

by Taavi Kuisma on Jul.18, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks

All day I dream about… Adidas?

Well I wish I had time to lounge around and dream a little dream but unfortunately yours truly has been pushing the boundaries the entire weekend once again. It is now 8.15 pm and I’m writing my blog, which I like and it’s probably the most fun I have had the whole day (aside from breakfast pancakes, those were cool.) But you know what, nobody is telling me to do this, it’s just what I do and I keep my mind in the future. It’s all for a purpose. I love each and every project I take on, with so many things life is just like a huge puzzle you just have to solve. Make most of the time you have at hand and just kick with it.

Speaking of kicks, it’s been way too long before I have posted anything kicks related. Well let’s change this and post the picks of the week which are very Adidas centered this week, thus the title.

I have spoken of space age shoes for few times already and every time I see something that just screams space cowboys and renegades I think about Cowboy Bebop -the anime series. Don’t know why. I’m pretty sure the series didn’t even include any space age kicks… Oh, well…

The latest space collection comes from the direction of Yohji Yamamoto, Adidas and their collaborative Y-3 brand. The AW 2010 collection just screams space age, but not in an offensive way. It could be worse, and I somehow even take a liking to some of the kicks. You be the judge, is the line too much? Or is this what one should be wearing while strolling down the streets?

Sneakers & Girls

by Taavi Kuisma on Jun.28, 2010, under Clothing, Headlines

What’s good y’all?

Midsummer’s done for the year and we’re back in action at full force. Moving ahead at full steam, we’ve already got our minds at the Autumn and Fall of 2010. Thinking about where we’re heading and what are we going to do? Who are we going to work with and at what degree. I am not going to give out too much at this point but there are plenty of positive challenges ahead of us.

NBA Finals – Kicks edition

by Taavi Kuisma on Jun.03, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks, Sports

Greetings earthlings!

The NBA finals are tipping off tonight and yours truly is feeling like a kid before Christmas. I would very much like to watch every single game, but then again I think I would not be able to cope with my daily duties if I did. Well, there are always reruns, summaries and results. But that’s not the same, damn it as I write this I am starting to feel like watching the damn finals. I MUST! GO LAKERS!

Sneaker and Denim advertising

by Taavi Kuisma on May.31, 2010, under Clothing, Headlines, Kicks, Social Media & Advertising

Greetings earthlings!

It’s been a superb day. Mainly due to some some better than great family matters that inspire me to write about toddler sized Air Jordans, but let’s save that for later. We’ve posted few advertising posts and since all of us at the NDH have at least some Advertising and Marketing background it makes sense that we keep writing about things dear to us. Other than denim and sneakers. Or better yet, combine all of these elements. Best of both worlds and so on.

Kicks Edition – Air Jordans

by Taavi Kuisma on May.30, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks

Late night, Saturday night. I must be getting old because the night used to start at the midnight, but for me it’s bedtime. But hey, I do want to wake up to watch Batman tomorrow morning, not just that but I have a breakfast to cook for the wifey and just so many things to do I just don’t want to miss out on. I’m a bit late with my writing, since I just spend the last few hours watching Seven Years in Tibet, a movie I had not watched until now and I really liked it. Good stuff.

Masterminds and Superheroes – Just More Kicks

by Taavi Kuisma on May.15, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks

Good morning world!

Yours truly is back at it like an addict. Not just a denim addict but a sneaker addict who desperately needs to get new kicks but unfortunately has still not been able to cop any. I should get myself something like a basic pair of black Chuck Taylors just to have a pair of new kicks for the summer. I mean damn.

Superhero Kicks – Part 2

by Taavi Kuisma on Apr.08, 2010, under Headlines, Kicks

Hi Y’all,

About a year ago I wrote a little post on Superhero Kicks. That one was about Wolverine and Sabertooth Nikes launched around that time. The hype behind X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie helped push the kicks and now as we are getting really close to the new Iron Man movie, there is some interesting buzz about Nike launching a pair of Nike SB Dunk Hi Iron Man kicks.
