shelter.ae
Maybe one of the most interesting place in UAE currently?
“The shelter is an innovation campus that allows ideas to exist in a creative environment. This environment is infused with added value experiences such as language and design classes, regional major events such as the Art Dubai VIP lounge and will exist to create an experience in order to attract and identify innovation.”
They have a shop with good product it seems and organise sale on supremebeing brand on Saturday… so I might pass by… not to buy anything but to have a look at the place…
Well it’s tomorrow and today or yesterday or I don’t give a damn because I won’t cop it anyway (I’m in UAE dude) but…
Tthe Busy P for Livestrong (I put the link for the end user of this foundation not for L.Armstrong) Nike Air Force 1 pictured above will be found it the Coolcats (aka Busy P initiative) in a “non for ever store” in this street (Look at the Youtube yes):
It’s so cool! Well it’s the street but France is not like that don’t worry… just sometime 
It’s just funny because it’s in my preferred area in Paris but it’s in some place a bit rohff too 
So first I do have to say that I wake up very early… well when the sun start rising at 6:00am! But with the Burj looking at me so okayy…
But it was nice because lil Carlota was in da house!
From the Vince flat you can see how Dubai look like at then end of June… who said hot and dusty? Who said that!
But still good enough to relax a bit a the pool… rooftop pool of course…
Then because they finally understand that we get lost in their megahypaparking they put this machine! Of course I parked at the Fashion parking (Imagine if I went to the food court it would be less Hyfresh!)
But Dubai mall is a very Hyfresh mall I tell you! I will go back and do a full report on it one day…
Imagine at the “Kinda” Apple Store they had my blog on display! Huge! I’m becoming a rock star isn’t it? What I did it myself… pfff
We had Taco Bell for dinner but didn’t have time to take picture of it because we eat everything before! Was good!
On the way we found a PQ outlet! Very nice even if Chicken and Garlic my scratch! (French only can understand ndlr)
Then I wanted to chill with the homies but was in Arabic, there was no Bob Marley and I quit smoking so…
Ok Fall and winter are far away and let say here in the region it doesn’t make much sense as it’s more of a not so hot season but thanks to nitrolicious we have a sneak preview on the new collection of BBC and Ice Cream!
Every season there is some items that I hate and some that I can really see me on so for this one here is my pick! And you know what maybe they will have them at Harvey Nich’s in Dubai?

Stussy and Nike good stuff…
Let’s first start with Stussy who is probably one of my top ten brands for historical reasons guys! Yes I started looking at it when I was a bad skateboarder beginning of the 90’s!
It is not anymore manage by Shawn Stussy himself but their line remain very nice and there is always pieces that I’d like to cop! So have a look at those piece of the summer 2009 Collection (Check more at Haven):
Then there is this Ovni from Nike that kinda remind me a pair of Airwalk from the past! It’s the Tennis Ball Hypermax!
For a non retro model I do have to say that they pretty kick ass! Thanks to Leaders 1354 for the lead…

Official in Dubai!
It seems that surely but slowly the streetwear scene is showing a little bit of its nose in Dubai city!
After last year BBC pieces at Saks now here come the Official cap Shemagh made with original tissue from the british army! Official is a real good alternative to New Era and I think they fit me better so it’s a good news! The only thing is that it is usually limited edition so it’s a bit pricey 
Any way it’s like that and that’s the way it is! Go to 50°C (Souk Al Bahar) to catch one!
Well previously to the olympics in Bejiing it seems that the sports world get really excited!
When Nike is throwing a lot of different models adidas is launching the biggest ever shop!
The Wallstreet Journal has done a pretty interesting article about the fight so read it here !

Solebox report
Solebox is probably one of the coolest sneaker shop in the universe! I never bought anything there or been there but I tried once online to get a pair of J’s III from them!
You know when you buy online usually it is very cold but Hikmet the owner was so cool when he told me that he didn’t have the size and that he was sorry and so on (Couple of mails!) that you feel like: I want to give him my money!
The other night in my room late at night I fall on the interview of Hikmet on DW TV and it just make me sure that I had the right feeling on this shop! Now if you visit Berlin, just go and get your kicks there! Trust me I’m sure you will have a good time!
