LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #44 | CARRERA SLOT CAR RACETRACKS

since i am a child i love playing with CARRERA. my little sun has a track from the “GO!” series. a special ”DISNEY’S CAR” edition. but i think he is a bit to young. he prefers playing table football and with lego bricks. for me a CARRERA race track still means passion and emotion. i think the day will come when i race with my sun round per round through the living room … but look at this perfect track in a box. isn’t that a great idea? so awesome: and take a look at the details from other racetracks below. even skid marks are on the “road”. those tracks are built by american SLOT MODS: “Museum quality, hand crafted raceways for the ultimate garage, showroom, man cave or commercial interactive attraction.” unbelievable. check their site if you have an affection to raceway playing – it is an absolut must! fascinating! thx PeZi for the hint at spiegel.de where i found these blog pics. if you take a look at SLOTMODS.com you’ll find countless pics from different racetracks and cars, informations about the builders and their clients. pics & vid | SLOT MODS

SCARTI-LAB DENIM | HAND TATTOOED LEATHER LABELS

i do know nothing about the italian brand SCARTI-LAB except what i found on their website … and this looks quite nice. the call their label “band, not brand”. ok. check their look-book for S/S2012 “ELEGANCE MADE TO PROVOKE” – really well done. but mostly i like their customizations mainly the TATTOOED LABELs of their denim. each leather label looks differnet. that’s what i call CUSTOMIZATION – one of a kind. pics | Scarti-Lab






BOOT OF THE DAY | #110 | VINTAGE RED WING SHOES # 855

a rare and awesome boot in good condition: well used RED WING #855 found at GROOVY, japan. i own the same boot in i would say in an even better condition, but it is a RWS IRISH SETTER. i like this boot so much because of its three different sorts of eyelets and the classic RED WING colour. that’s really interesting. this 855 is from the 70s, sized 11B and available for 178.53 euros. pics | GROOVY


LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #43 | FOOTBALL IS COMING HOME

yesterday it was my b-day and my family made me a great present: a tabletop football for my office. a professional one with two dressed german BUNDESLIGA teams: beloved FC KAISERSLAUTERN versus accepted BVB BORUSSIA DORTMUND. my buddy PETER (in the pics below) and me built the table up in between three hours with some breaks drinking some TESCH RIESLING and having a lot of fun. the first games weren’t so funny for me always loosing. i am learning my lessons and my game will come! AND i will blast my counterpart painfully … bad pics | LTG


SEEMS TO BE A FAKE >> RED WING SHOES x CreamSoda COLLABORATION

sorry, damn, when i saw these f**ing boots the first time i asked me why don’t they have a red wing cushion crepe sole. that’s normal when RWS does a collab in a CHUKKA boot or something similar. and where is the RWS brand type? just a few minutes ago i got a mail from someone who knows nearly everything about RWS, informations from an absolute reliable source. he told me: “This boot doesn’t have a RW handwriting judging it by looking at the triple stitch and the heel counter stitching quality and placement…this seems more like a RW wannabe /  look alike –  200% sure” thx DE!

never heard before about this collaboration. and no more infos than this pics. looks like a massive 3 eyelet traditional WORK CHUKKA with a bright white VIBRAM #2021 sole. 3 colours available. where to buy or to get more infos? i do not know. check it at BEE – maybe you’ll find a link. i did not, but i like the look, although i do not like chukkas so much. pics | BEE

THE ART OF AARON SAVAGE | BRICK THE LP.

there is nothing more to say: “a series of album covers recreated in LEGO.” i love this naive but really intelligent interpretations. and one of my absolute favorite toys as a boy where LEGO bricks. with my son LEVI, 6 years old, it is the same. he plays with a lot of bricks i played with. bricks that are about 40 years old: “LIFE TIME BRICKS” by LEGO … pics | AARON SAVAGE

LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #42 | CXXVI, TANNER GOODS, SASQUATCHFABRIX EOTOTO …

… or how to transport money. some blogs ago i showed you the skull coin purse from SASQUATCHFABRIX EOTOTO which i bought at LN-CC, london. i use it now for some weeks and it makes fun and sense in combination with TANNER GOODS’ business and credit cardholder in saddle-tan and – one of my absolut favorit pieces – the CXXVI “WHALE” money clip. for years i used and rugged my beloved RED MOON wallet; so this one needs a longer break. and UWE bring TANNER GOODS to B-74 and VOLLS – thanks! bad pics | life time gear
