The Blog-Kid shoes

I would have loved being a bit older during the 90s to have been able to live that creative club culture, where club-kids and skaters danced to house music and hip-hop. Flyers weren’t just info material but real art pieces, and there were no rules wardrobe wise, it was only forbidden to be discrete. Who wouldn’t swap for Macaulay Culkin after seeing Party Monster? That was one of my inspirations when every Sunday evening in London we were getting ready for Family, Boombox or Ponystep, parties that recovered the club-kid essence from  the 90s. That’s why, with these customized Vans, I’m trying to do my own personal homage to that time. I’m going to wear them till they fall off, I love them!

Cuánto me hubiera gustado haber sido un poco mayor en los 90 para haber vivido aquella creativa cultura de club, donde club-kids y skeaters bailaban en comunión house y hip-hop. Los flyers no eran meros panfletos informativos sino verdaderas obras de arte, y no había normas a la hora de vestir mientras uno no pasara desapercibido. Quien no ha querido ser Macaulay Culkin despues de haber visto Party Monster?  Yo levantaba la mano a esta pregunta cada vez que llegaba el domingo en Londres y nos vestíamos para ir a Family, Boombox o los comienzos de Ponystep, que recuperaban el espíritu club-kid de los 90. Y bueno, con estos Vans customizados quiero hacer mi homenaje personal a aquella época, me los voy a poner hasta reventarlos, me encantan!
