breaking news: you’ve heard the rumors … they’re true. what started out as fun side project is about to get serious. we’re set to drop our very own interpretation of what an energy should really taste like … of how an energy drink should actually perform … the first stage of the takeover is limited to selected clubs across europe. to be served ice cold. recommended with a lot of sports, love & spinach.
taking over the world, one sip at a time.

the following excerpt is taken from sole collector’s newest issue, which features our in-depth interview with world b. free himself.
check it out! “lloyd bernard free, better known as world b. free brought the nba a rare combination of style and substance. his time in the league, from 1975 through 1988, bridged the gap between dr. j and mj, both literally and figuratively. standing only, 6 foot 2, world displayed showmanship that far eclipsed his physical stature, while still averaging over 20 points per game for his career. his 44 inch vertical added that much more flair to his game and made him one of the biggest names of his era.”

remember we recently installed our new “cool dude” segment? well tfb’s jonsey was the first to react and sent along this snapshot of him and his mutt, all the way from florida. obviously, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. say wadup to naples, jonsey!

jonsey is wearin’ the chopped tag sleeveless blk/wht (also available in wht/blk).

Don’t call it a comeback! The DCAC is K1X’s all new classic. Re-interpreting the first of all basketball shilouettes was a question of honor for a basketball-inspired lifestyle brand like us. And the next thing you know, the shoe has earned more head nods than a Primo beat: fresh, street and on point. A wider lacing system and the rounded toe-cap give the silhouette a more masculine appearance, while the padded collar lining makes for extra comfort. The DCAC is unusually light but highly durable, due to it’s o.g. basketball-leather upper and sole, the latter of which features an integrated leather tag logo inlay for added stomp. Tying the silhouette back to the apparel offering, its tongue features a rainbow-style “93″ application, which symbolizes the year K1X first stepped on to the court. The DCAC (World B. Free Edition) is available in purple and in white. The DCAC is available in black, white and purple for € 69,90. And wait’ll you see the “South Beach” editions (which drop august) … !

Orlando Magic Halftime Interview

see this recent world b. free interview with 2 dudes with cool names.
love the way he’s not sure about scoring twenty points in this day in age, but pretty sure could still hoist twenty shots easy. don’t miss world plugging his “world b. free” chiefgliders towards the end …

last week, we celebrated the launch of our much anticipated “world b. free” summer collection 2009 (click banner above for images), as well as the inaugural opening of the brand new showroom (loft) located on the first floor above the kickz.com store in berlin, mitte. the exclusive crowd featured professional ballplayers from alba berlin, streetballers, rappers and heads from the music and film industry (trooper, vanessa, kitty, wilson, steffen, hadnet … ) as well as influentials, oppinion leaders and a whole lotta it-girl-types. berlin’s dj-hero harris (spezializtz) provided the soundtrack (and made sure to let the neighbours know what time it is).

we’d like to thank everybody involved for making this event a night to remember. it was great to bring ballers, hiphop heads, fashion press, sneaker aficionados and opinion leaders together for a good time. big ups go out to finlandia vodka, red bull, aloha, carlsberg and carpe diem.

world b. free is the definition of flamboyant, right? that’s why we made a tee to match his persona. shades, flamingos, babes, stars and all that. in knickerbocker colors even – a little wink to world’s beginnings: the streets of new york city.

The Chiefglider was K1X’s original claim to fame. After 29 variations in color and theme (feat. Team Sierra Leone, Rucker, and Bobbito Garcia among others), the Chiefglider got a well deserved breather. Now, the K1X classic is back in a remodeled lower version, in honor of basketball’s 70ies style icon World B Free. Like its mid-top counter part, the new low version features the patented w.h.u.i.t.a. spring pad in the shoe’s forefoot and w.l.o.t.c. shock-absorbtion cushion in the heel, making it jiggy for on- as well as off-court moves. The baby-blue/orange/white colors tie back to World’s former San Diego team unis, while the infamous soup can is an adaption of World’s trash talk (he used to scream “hot soup” while scoring on defenders). In tune with World’s legendary pizzazz, the K1X Chiefglider Lo (World B Free Edition) got more flavor than a can of Campbell’s chicken-noodle.
