We have been teasing you for quite some time with these bad boys. The K1X Mesh Pack is now ready for take-off and will drop at selected retailers incl. SOLEBOX (Berlin) on Saturday, March 31st. Stay tuned for more Mesh-news…

Comparing the carnival in Brazil to any other “costume party” is like comparing the NBA to any other pro basketball league. No contest. Now if we could only persuade the NBA cheerleaders to shed those nasty brown tights.

But here’s what you really want to see: The Reef girl’s claim to fame (exibit B)…

The world’s biggest sport trade show raises the same three questions every time… Here are the questions (and the answers):

1. Who’s hosting the best party this year? (No contest here. The K1X Cypher tomorrow at Edmoses, local heroes reign supreme, stay tuned…)
2. What’s the time? I lost my phone lat night, bro. (No idea, so did I.)
3. Have you seen the Reef girls? (Yes, we have. See exhibit A below…)

K1X is proud to “Beat the Fascist Insect“. Tonite at legendary Bob Beaman Music Club in Munich/Germany. Stand up for positivity and fight racism. Event t-shirt limited to 100 units. Find out more…

Last Thursday night, K1X invited friends, partners and everyone who was up for a good time to join us at Trust Bar in Berlin, where we hosted our traditional Bread & Butter get-get-get-get-down feat. Oscar Melzer playing some of his favorite hip hop tunes. As you can see, we liked them too. Check back here for more images real soon…

After making big news with his formidable Women are Heroes project and his cover appearance for Clark Magazine, French photographer/street artist JR is back with another highlight. This time, the highly talented artist has covered the entire facade of Galerie Perrotin in Paris with one large artwork. Make sure to catch the exhibition, should you be in the area tomorrow, November 19th!

Tonight we will be tearing the roof off of Edmoses Bar (Munich). Drop by if you’re in the area!

Following up on a stroke of genius by longtime K1X sales representative Wayne Rauch, the brand you have come to love as your go-to player for basketball gear and footwear, will from here on out cater strictly to the K1 fighting movement and be renamed “K1Xtra”. Our “Play hard” claim also needs a make-over and will most probably be altered to “Roundhouse kick hard”.

Says K1X C.E.O. Chris Grosse: “If you really think about it, basketball is a game for infants with an orange ball to be thrown into a round metal thingy.”

Pascal the Animal (Pascal Romahrio de la Guerrez) is a favela-tested street fighting sensation, who knocked out twelve (allegedly) drunken Irishmen in a bar brawl while recently celebrating the Brazilian carnival with his grandmother. His brother, Breno, is a (currently unhappy) professional soccer player at F.C. Bayern Munich, and may be the next addition to the growing K1Xtra roster.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest developments as they unfold!
