New for SS07 (coming Jan/Feb 2007) are several styles inspired by actual vintage
products. Unfortunately, almost no samples were kept from our rich 83 year history, and little more than back catalogs from the 1980s and few earlier photos remain in our archive.

To bring back from our past key styles, equal parts of creativity and development were needed to recreate designs only using grainy catalog photos.

One such style inspired by hummel handball history is the 'Stadil'.

Inspired by an original 1980's style called "Handball Ten" (also shown in some catalogs as the "Zurich"), the Stadil authentically recreates pattern and design language of he original model and adds new retro inspired details and contemporary appeal.

In addition to visiting and working with FC Thun, this trip gave me an opportunity to visit Bern and Zurich, Switzerland for inspiration/research. Both are great cities for design and have a unique european feel.

Last week in CPH at Asbæk Gallery in Norreport, was the opening of the Dunny Show CPH.

I was there representing our hummel Hunny Dunny and checking out the party.


UPDATE- the show Dunnys are now on auction at Danish site Lauritz.com. Check the hummel Hunny Dunny item here

Not exactly footwear related, but interesting! hummel has been asked to take part in The Dunny Show CPH, an exhibition of customized Dunny toys by some of the best designers and creative people here in Denmark. The event follows hot on the heels of the previous Kid Robot Dunny Shows in NYC, SF and elsewhere.

I have been involved working up concepts for the proeject to be fabricated. Check out the ideas. More concept sketches after the Read More link below.

Of course, if you are in CPH from August 2, be sure to check out the final exhibit at Asbæk Gallery.

Pictures of the final Dunny will be posted soon (when its done!)

Just got the word from my friend/artist/designer JUSE, of Concrete Dunk fame, that his new line of BMX/LA inspired t-shirts, Lavar, will be dropping this summer.

More pics and info after the Read More link below.



This line, now in its second year is a graphics/fashion project based on his background in the BMX industry.



JUSE explains, "The essence is basically a mix between street wear and bmx (mostly 80s inspired)" It will be sold through independent BMX shops in the US and the UK as well as boutique stores in US, Canada and Europe,including Brooklyn Projects in LA and 90SQM in Amsterdam. Also be on the lookout for a feature in the next Lowdown magazine.






JUSE is most well known for his Concrete Dunk project, placing cast solid concrete models of Dunk's in conspicious locations worldwide. The context and location of the pieces commenting on the interaction of street culture and location.



In addition, he has recently done a similar project, No Paint, No Fame, featuring cast models of spray paint cans, placed effectively in urban locations, asking the viewer to question the environment and the role of street culture in assimilating and bending in with our natural surroundings.
