All Day I Dream About Sneakers
<< Back
adidas Originals x Lifelounge Oct 16, 2008 at 02:15
All Day I Dream About Sneakers is a new collaborative project from adidas Originals and Lifelounge, inspired by the brand’s avid creeds of ‘Impossible Is Nothing’ and ‘Celebrate Originality’. The project showcases the story and kicks created by the world’s original sneaker freak, Herr Fritz Träumer – a mythical and enigmatic sneaker designer who dedicated his lifetime to constructing the most original range of sneakers ever seen.

A true visionary, Herr Fritz Träumer saw vast potential in the sneaker well beyond their athletic function and humble appearance. Absorbed daily in a world of sneaker design, he dreamed beyond the realm of possibility and quietly penned in a series of notebooks and journals, visions of sneakers that were truly out of this world.

In a unique collaboration with Lifelounge, adidas have published a limited edition book, exclusively available at sneaker retailers around Australia and New Zealand, featuring excerpts from Träumer's private journals and imagery of his unique sneaker creations.

Pictured to the right of this post are images of his dream sneakers, some behind the scene photos of their creation and images from the celebratory exhibition at Melbourne's Dakota 501 Store.

In celebration of this collab, Lifelounge is offering you a treasure trove of downloadable goodies to quench you appetite for originality and fresh kicks.

Herr Fritz Träumer was a clever man. Meanwhile these are all amazing and not even a little bit broken.

They are all pretty fricken sweet. The copy in the book is also well worth the read!
True Respect
Holy smokes LL, I thought it was photoshopped at first.Totally real.
True Respect
Seriously. I love this shit. I love it when people say "Wouldn't it be cool if..." and then just rip it. I've turned the pair of three stripe classics I've got on today into a poorly constructed rip off of the Air-bag model. Now, if only I could post the photo somewhere...
True Respect
Put it in the kicks forum freeak...
True Respect
I'm trying but I don't know how to post the pic. I'm a nuffy at this kind of stuff. I only do smart-arse quips, not techy doohickys.
False Respect
hot shit.
True Respect
all you need to do is have the image hosted somewhere like photobucket etc, and then copy the url of it in between the two [img] [/img] tags that you click in the forums.... or send it to me...
True Respect
You know what? It's actually not that funny and I think we've built it up way too much. It's just a shot of a shoe with two small balloons paperclipped on the laces.
True Respect
It's fucking funny, and I have posted it here: http://www.lifelounge.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3477ඕ

I wore my special Airbags home last night by accident. Worst mistake since wearing slippers to school one day in prep.
