The adidas Originals Store in Thailand is kinda rocking it. They got artist Adidas (AKA ISE) to custom make these badboys chairs.

Funny thing is, I’m looking for a Vespa (likely to purchase this summer in fact) and we all know they’re quite cool, nice classic design, each are pretty unique from your neighbours no matter how subtle the differences are and then you look at the Helmets… 60′s Future design with generous toppings of italian leather all enough to make you really badly wanna be a Conspicuous Consumer. And then you look at this….
Now this is taking the piss. Its too fresh and and and I need it all!
Now this is an interesting project because its somewhat a true-to-life fusion of what Street Culture has been about since its (re)beginnings; mainstream-retro videogames, skateboards, bling toys and adidas all topped off as a piece for your mantle-piece so to speak.
No, but seriously what we have here is awe-inspiringly detailed work produced by HARVEST by haroshi (of Harumaki and Hirosher – who btw use a really badboy font on their website). Really simples, these guys started out as jewelry designers and now 7 years later, they’ve just gotten fat making stunning work out of old skateboards. Now thats sustainability!
Toulousaine graffiti artist (and other half to DJ Mehdi) Fafi has come together again with Adidas to create a special edition collection for this S/S. This collection is very much inspired by her personal wardrobe of vintage clothing and she exclaims that this is “very colorful spring/summer 2010 collection to celebrate the end of a cold winter, good times with friends, get noticed at airports and music festivals!”
