Waaay Back When...

Clever ad campaign for Adidas created by Made Ink. Basically playing off the prehistoric era; mostly dinosaurs, and the history or "origins" of the three stripes of Adidas.




Cool.

Not 1 but Three. //

Jeremy Scott, an American born fashion designer, has teamed up with Adidas for a second time, the first with this, to create a shoe, and a fashion line. His idea; a triple-tongued shoe. I could only assume, it would be an ode to the logo, three stripes... three tongues.















The shoe looks really clean, and for some reason to kinda works. So yeah. For more from Jeremy Scott's line for the fall/winter with adidas; see it here.

Since work, posts have been slowing down... but still will be coming at full steam.

Till later.

The Original House Party and Beggin'. //

So. I stumbled upon this video a few weeks ago, and thought it was a clever campaign by Adidas to celebrate their Original line. Basically its the Original house party; with appearances by Russell Simmons, Beckham, Missy, Jeezy, Kevin Garnett and other Adidas noticeables. But what got me the most about this ad was the song; very catchy, very upbeat, very cool. But what's the song?

Answer: Somewhat two fold: The song is Beggin' by Madcon. But that's actually a remake/cover of a 60's hit by The Four Seasons, with the song of the same title. I looked into Madcon a bit more, and they're a hip hop duo from Norway (of all places). Very well known in Europe, and slowly gaining popularity in North America. Their song Beggin' has been used for alot, and is one of their top singles. For me, I find them very comparable to Gnarls Barkley, with their blending of hip-hop, pop, jazz, funk, etc.


If you're looking for more Madcon, check out their myspace or download their 2nd LP, which features Beggin'. The ablum; So Dark the Con of Man.


But yeah. Enjoy it. More to come.
