StOrE oF ThE MoNtH: OpIuM BaRcElOnA

While in Barcelona for the B&B, we went to visit one of the most interesting Sneaker Store in the all Europe, Opium Barcelona. Actually we already knew the store as we were there during the last summer at the opening day and the launch of the exclusive Air Jordan VII "Miro`". The idea comes from the same head of Limited Editions and Chikashitsu but since the starting of the collaboration with the infamous parisian Sneaker Boutique, the store looks refreshed with some Nike sneaks that it's impossible to find in Europe. Pics talks for them self!! The atmosphere in store is dark and black, but inside you can find some of the most bright releases of the year. All the Jordans Countdown Packages, Tier Zeros and Quickstrike, Nike Uptempos and Penny Hardaway II's and much, much more. We love the idea of the wall clock with all the Jordans OG from the I to the XII. If you are in Barcelona you much check it out!!! Independent is still alive!!

SpOrT aNd StReEt B&B 09

Above few pics of what we saw inside the Sport&Street area this year in the winter edition of Bread&Butter in Barcelona. Was good to see stands of Reed Space, Limited Editions and Solebox reminding the presence of an indipendent soul in the streetwear scene nowadays too much controlled by "big corporate companies".

A fresh looking return for UK brands Reebok and Boxfresh. We found very interesting emerging brands like the italian Super (Showing its last collaboration with VNGD) and the french Qhuit. The new Mini Concept found a space between sneakers brands as New Balance, Saucony and Pro Keds. Check later for detailed pics of the collections shown at the tradeshow.

Dr MaRtenS "AiR wAiR" A/W 09/10

UrbanCamou was down to Barcelona last week for the Bread&Butter09. We want to be honest with you... It wasn't that great! Maybe because of the actual state of the Economics, or maybe, and mostly because it was the last edition of the infamous fashion tradeshow in Barca, there were few brands, few visitors and very few interesting collections to show.

Within these collections, one that mostly caught our attention and our camera was the A/W09/10 Dr Martins collection titled " Serious Time Require Serious Shoes". It's not anymore a secret that behind the new Dr Martens productions there are the knowledgeable hands of the londoner Andrew Bunney. Collaborator of Gimme5 and Stussy UK, Bunney has brought a touch of fresh japanese inspired style at some of the upcoming releases, in the models and colours. But what really excited us is the collaboration with Stussy!!!!

Take a look at the exclusive pics took at the B&B stand and stay tuned for more upcoming news of this release.

FoRFeX 09

We yesterday received by Mr. Forfex himself, these pics of a special customizations he personally did for Miss Sasha Grey (c'mon, we know you know who she is...) based on the infamous and almost legendary Space Boots. Just a suggestion: stay tuned...

VisVim SS*09 > sMaLL pReview

We are always hungry for novelties, in particular when novelties are about Visvim. We found these scan pages on SuperTalk and we were enough surprises (and happy) to see such a "colour explosion" on the next SS'09 Collection! Impressive.
