Week 5 EOC: this is what has my interest

This Documentary shows us how the best Japanese denim is made.

This post has my attention because I found it extremely interesting why the japanses denim sets itself above the rest. These artisans have such love for their denim, and it is well known in the fashion industry that Japanese denim is the best. The craftsmanship and quality is amazing. They consider their denim art. Their knowledge of the different denims is so interesting, specializing in vintage denim. The shuttle machines they use are almost vintage, and the time and quality put into every step of the process of making their denims is above the rest.

Is Kanye West Adidas’ winning formula?

This article has my attention because the rise of Adidas in the last year has been incredible to watch. The main reason seems to be just one man, Kanye West. I find that incredible since he is such a controversial figure. North American sales have jumped 32% in the second quarter. They are outperforming all of the competition including Nike and Under Armour. They have outperformed all of their expectations and shoes have nearly doubled in price. The Kanye West edition products sell out immediately, and shoes are on EBAY for average of north of 1000$ USD. Adidas is definitely the “in” brand right now, and most of the thanks goes to Kanye West and his influence on the fashion culture.

Check out the 3D printed shoes Adidas is giving its Olympic Athletes


This article has my attention because 3D printing and the Olympics both are huge interests to me. The shoes look pretty incredible and they are 3d printed. I have been following this subject for years and the progress is amazing. The shoes don’t need any glue or stitching. The Olympic athletes are the first to get their hands on them. The shoes have been approved for long distance running and there is no set release date on them yet.
