When I created my F&F Conductor I had a list of people in mind who inspired me to get to this point and to whom I wanted to pay tribute to and gift this special pair.
From close family members to international culture creators this list had a big influence on my process and the final outcome.
Forever linked with Trefoil and sneaker history Jam Master Jay and @rundmc were an inspiration since day one of my collaborations.
@kingdmc is one of the very few people, whom I had also seeded my Rivalry Hi SNEAKERQUEEN back in 2013.
So when @shakejmj blessed me with this picture of Darryl holding up my F&F Conductor and our Collective (@erniepunk@tommy_triggah@defynewyork ) Rivalry Lo it totally made my day!
Thank you for decades of inspiration and maximum #worldwidesneakerlove !

This project goes straight to the heart.

Featuring heavy hitters like @woody_snkrfrkr@marcfraser66@michael_lamjc@stevensmith@koji198139@sarahandelman and so many more.
And if that‘s not motivation enough to buy: all profits go to Kinderspital Zürich. @kispizuerich

Thanks to @leomatics for more than this book. Community can help you heal and you are living proof of that.
Diese Woche haben wir einen wundervollen Menschen verloren.
Es fällt mir schwer in Worte zu fassen was das bedeutet - für Familie, für Freunde und für eine weltweite Community.
Danke Tony für all die wundervollen gemeinsamen Momente, Champagner in der Hängematte, Deep Dive Nerdgespräche, Lachkrämpfe bis der Atem stockt, Reisen und Sneakerausstellungen, Style-twinning, DoubleGoose-Geiern, Kichern mit Zauberkraut, auf Deinen Schultern raven, in Drehpausen schäkern, immer ein offenes Ohr bei Dir zu haben, immer nen flotten Spruch auf den Lippen, Deine Schlagfertigkeit, Deinen Tiefgang, Charm, Style und besonders Deine Freundschaft!
Dass Du uns selbst in diesen schweren Tagen mit diesen Bildern und Erinnerungen noch ein Lachen herauskitzelst zeigt:
Ein Mann der Extraklasse hat uns verlassen. Keine dieser Aussagen wird Dir gerecht, jeder der Dich kannte wird mir zustimmen, dass Deine Präsenz für immer in uns nachhallen wird.
Wir missen Dich sehr

Winter is coming to an end in Berlin but I’d still like to show you one of my favourite pairs I rocked in the snow.
A crazy good cw of these Nike Trango leather or do you prefer the Trango Hi (Caldera with lace hooks) in the last slide?
A few Escapes have been posted in my network the last few days, so I wanted to joint the party with this special pair.
Designed by Mark Parker and introduced in 1984, the Escape marked Nikes formal move into trail running and was the breeding ground for following collections like ACG and Limited Edition.
If you look closely, the stitching on this pair is slightly different to the first Escape models (last slide).
This pair of Nike Air Traverse is from 1987, so I assume Nike ‚optimised‘ their production process after the first releases by joining together two parts of the upper leather that used to be layered.
If anyone has a catalog picture of this pair, please get in touch!
