adidas makes some very big shoes

To celebrate and pay tribute to the iconic Superstar, adidas Originals (with the help of 180LA) produced a pair of giant, SUV-size exact replicas, down to the fire-hose shoe laces. Housed in separate studios, they invited friends and artists at Surface2Air (NYC) and Upper Playground (San Francisco) to celebrate their own originality by customizing these huge sneakers – the right shoe for the East Coast and the left shoe for the West Coast.

For three days, the artists’ collectives (Surface2Air featuring Gordon Hull, Daniel Jackson and Alexia Stamatiou and Upper Playground featuring Sam Flores) went to work. Upon completion, the shoes were put on a flat bed truck and the two parties set off to meet in Venice Beach, CA. The showdown on the boardwalk drew L.A.’s finest “originals.”

Non Smoking Generation produces job ad for Swedish Match

Today in the free newspaper Punkt SE it seems that Swedish Match is advertising for a new CEO – with the headline “CEO without a conscience wanted for Swedish match” and the body copy continues “Your job will be to literally walk over dead bodies in order to fulfill the goals that the board of directors want to achieve.”

But the ad was placed by Non Smoking Generation, not Swedish Match who apart from making matches also produce a lot of snus a moist powder tobacco similar to snuff that Swedes fancy instead of cigarettes. Replacing cigarettes with snus won’t save you from all kinds of tobacco related diseases and the Non Smoking Generation simply wants people to realize that snus isn’t as innocent as it’s made out to be in peoples minds.

Only if you look closely at the want ad will you spot the sender, the font and colors and style of the ad is consistent with Swedish Match’s job ads.
