BEN G x CTRL Collabo - A Tribute to Jari Litmanen

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Yo-Yo!

Check this! We just came out with a special collabo package together with BEN G, by far our favorite skate shop in heart of Amsterdam. This started out last January as i was visiting the beautiful city and i met up with an amped Bennie Komala. We went skating, drinking beers and were talking about what not. After the nice dialogs we had, we came up with a thought of doing something together. After awhile of swapping some crazy ideas around this project, Bennie sent me a mail with the whole kit. And boy, i was hit by surprise. He took the inspiration from their pride, the local football club Ajax Amsterdam! In 1995 they won the Champions Leagues and pretty much everyones favorite Ajax player was of course top scorer Jari Litmanen who happens to be from Finland. To put a story short, this is a tribute to Jari and his golden years.

ENjoy the swift feet!

The Cap is amazing. RED & BLACK suede!!

And of course, the football would have finalized this, but ey, we’re skaters so we made skateboards. Naturally.. Seems like we’re into bowls more then balls. Nice shapes, 7.75, 7.85, 8 and the 8.25 for the big footed Jetis out there.

Looks good on any hooligan!!

The whole kit is available in Bennies shop, Ben G you stoops and our web store!

Thanks a million Bennie for making this possible. And got to be super sorry that i didn’t get this up and running until now. I’m a homo sapien with only 2 hands and seems like a half of brain and all three have been on an overload. Sorry ass excuse and we should have Litmanen kick my ass for that.

Peace!

This not the one…

But it came out cool even though. The collabo boards with Amsterdamskis Finest, Ben G just landed to our office and our man Mikey from Artprint sent this extra treat. This is meant to be the top graphic, like only one of them logos, but it’s all about that wall paper weirdness.

We’ll have the rest of the collabo kit in soon enough and we’ll do a proper post about it. Still missing 2 items. It’ll be sick aka WEIRD & WONDERFUL!

Peaches!

And don’t forget EYE FOR ALL DEBUT 7″ is OUT NOW! 4 brand new songs on a thick black vinyl. Get yours through The Hood Took Us Under Records.
