REKAMP: SEATTLE

Color Correction is a must and it’s that last step that gives a spot a lot of its visual character. Kamp headed up to Seattle recently to hook up with constant collaborators LIGHTPRESS. Eric Rosen over at LIGHTPRESS has been coloring our adidas x champs spots since the beginning and it was no different with our most recent spot with Eric Gordon.

March Madness

We got in to the madness of the NCAA tournament down at the Rose Garden on Thursday and Saturday.

It’s easy to root to for VCU, they have a great coach in Shaka Smart and are always the underdog. VCU was one shot away from advancing to the sweet 16 for a second straight year as a 12 seed. But, when the shot hit the back of the rim Indiana escaped the Rose Garden to the round of 16 along with Louisville. We had so much fun over the two days the tournament was played here.

We did this fun little project for the adidas Originals Superstar 80’s Clean. We spent a few hours at Uptown Billards shooting pool and grabbing shots with our Red scarlet. Lil Nick even got to model the shoe in the product shot below. The adidas Originals Superstar 80’s Clean are available right now at Packer Shoes.
