K-Swiss Limited Edition Classic High P / WIN a pair

tcroberts — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:30:15 +0000

High tops for the holidays! K-Swiss does a limited release on a Classic, with a twist (0r two) — a high top in fall colors. My favorite is this pair of true blood red kicks in patent leather. No pun intended: they are pretty killer. It’s not often that you see an old style redone like this, but it looks like the California style may be taking some cold-weather cues. (Interesting note: K-Swiss shoes were originally high top boots modified years ago to be tennis shoes.) There’s also the colorway above, bronze upper with a white sole that according to the fashion blogs are so very now.

Seeing as though the Classic white high tops aren’t being released until 2010, grab a pair of these while you can or test out your luck and enter to WIN a Limited Edition pair of your own by telling us 1 person or thing that represents true classic style to you.

Not just for your ping pong enjoyment of course, nor is it a problem if you happened to miss the August Sweat Out Event in NYC recently – a welcome treat for any personal collection.

The P&S Classic, which was officially released on August 29, features added detail to the traditional all-white design: pops of bright orange via a single stripe on each side as well as the mesh-lined tongue and K-Swiss shield on the sole. Each P&S Classic comes with an individually numbered identification tag.

Win! Tickets to Destroy LA, this Saturday Sept.12

This weekend in LA is a one of a kind evening of LA’s master beat-makers. While many electronic artists in the UK have discovered the open-minded audiences here, the main draw for many in the dubstep and hip-hop communities is the budding talent pool of artists here in LA. Most Wednesdays you can find a whole host of them holding court in a dirty hole in the wall north of Los Angeles called the Low End Theory, but for the first time ever the elder statesmen of this scene are taking the stage to play a big room in LA… on a Saturday night.

If you and a friend would like to attend, hit us up at info@kspace.tv. The first two (2) people to email will win. Entries are due by 1PM on Friday.

WIN: Free Tickets to FYF Fest in LA!

tcroberts — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:47:16 +0000

FYF Fest is a musical treasure of the L.A. music scene for some time. The annual DIY festival features the best of the underground, and this year’s lineup features the best that indie has to offer. The roster includes Black Lips, Dan Deacon, Glass Candy, No Age, Wavves, Har Mar Superstar, Lightning Bolt, and our faves Avi Buffalo, which is well worth the $20 bill you would probably drop on bad beer and burritos otherwise. However, this year that money is going to good use, as proceeds from FYF Fest will be going to ‘Save Our Skateparks’ to help stave off the closing of skateparks across California. Governor Schwartzeneger recently signed a state budget which included a $6M budget cut to state parks. It’s a great cause, dear to our hearts. However, we’ve been blessed with 2 pairs of tickets, to give away to our lucky readers. Please submit your name and email address to info@kspace.tv, and we will collect names for our drawing early next week. (Limit one pair per winner.)

FYF Fest Presents:
Save Our State Parks
At the Los Angeles State Historic Park
In Chinatown. Just north of Downtown L.A.
On Saturday, September 5th 2009
Tickets only $20!

Win: Tickets to See The Clipse in Los Angeles

tcroberts — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 03:24:25 +0000

Acknowledged as hip-hop’s most lyrical duo, Pusha T and Malice have been working on a new album for what seems like forever. Recently, these Virginia-born Neptune proteges bumped around by label politics, and while they still garnered critical praise, they seemed to go silent over the past few years since their last full-length. Regardless, in one fell swoop recently with a teasing boast of a first single, “Kinda Like a Big Deal” which featured Mr. Kanye West, and news of a new production team, there were back. Fans are waiting on bated breath for the first video, directed by the artist KAWS, as well as production by DJ Kahlil, Rick Rubin, The Justice League as well as some new blood. To help quell the hunger for the return of The Clipse, Radionine is bringing them to Los Angeles for one night. Readers can join the fun, by forwarding their full name and email address to info@kspace.tv by Thursday, June 11. We will be giving away 3 pairs.

Win: Nosaj Thing Drift

tcroberts — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 18:10:05 +0000

Nosaj Thing has quickly garnered attention from outlets as dispersed as the BBC, The Fader and Giant Robot magazine. Called an “essential purchase”, “startlingly good” and “the future of hip-hop and what producers will be biting in the next couple of years”, Drift, the electronic, beat-driven debut LP has already topped the Bleep and Boomkat (for electronic aficionados) charts, as well as a healthy spot on the iTunes electronic sales chart. Not bad for a small So Cal indie release, with little or no radio play. It helped that early on Kid Cudi tapped Nosaj to provide the beat for his “The Man in the Moon (The Anthem)” track. Nosaj Thing will tour Asia soon, and is working on a European and US tour later this year.

Win a copy of Drift by answering the following question: What is Nosaj Thing’s full name?

wicked jazz sounds band open trouw

Jonathan — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 19:39:36 +0000

There’s a lot to be said about simplicity, as there is to be said about ‘Classic’. For those who visit KSPACE.TV often, you know by now that we wholeheartedly support these 2 ideals and ways of life in whatever we do. So take the Wicked Jazz Sounds crew in Amsterdam for example – their motto is ‘dance with a smile’ and their energy, vibe and weekly party simply proves just that over and over again. With their deep and funky jazz roots, their DJ’s (Phil Horneman and Leroy Rey) together with their crew of live musicians explore the point via the dancefloor where the classic and timeless meets the the new remastering. With this spirit intact the Wicked Jazz Sounds Band has ‘officially’ come to be and in celebration of their 1st album ‘The Biggest Sin’ they will perform at the just opened club Trouw on Thursday April 9th.

If you cannot make it or live in another city, you still have a chance to WIN their CD or a limited edition t-shirt fresh from the printers. Simply answer with the name of 2 musicians in the WJSB and either could be yours to keep on dancin’ with a smile ! Check some of the tunes in the jukebox

a talk with photographer hadley hudson

Tim — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:50:17 +0000

Hadley Hudson is an American photographer currently based in Munich and Berlin.
She studied art at UCLA School of the Arts and Parsons School of design in Paris.
Her work has appeared in BLAST, Playboy,Vogue, New York Times Magazine and many more.

She has photographed for example Black Eyed Peas, Peaches, Gonzales,Jamie Lidell!

Some of you maybe know her from her Work for K-SWISS !

Q: Hello Hadley, as you are a heavy traveller, in which City do we find you today?

[column width="47%" padding="0"]Hadley: Today I am home in Munich , but am packing my bags for LA.

Q: We really love your Series about Models at Home.How did you get the Idea and have you done an Exhibition with them?

Hadley: As far as fashion, I have always been more interested in the models themselves rather than the clothes. Part of being a good model is being a kind of blank canvas for people to project their image or product upon. I always found it interesting to find out who these girls (or boys) actually are . Mostly their interests have nothing to do with the fashion world. Some live with their parents, some in “model apartments”…

Anyway, I am a total voyeur and love going into people’s houses…![/column]

Q: Which Sports do you like and and does Sports inspire you? What kind of Sports do you do?

Hadley: I started running about 4 years ago and haven’t stopped since then. And of course photographically, anything having to do with movement, be it dance or sport, inspires me. A lot of my work is about catching the right moment and physicality.

Q: Who are your favourite Photographers and what kind of Sports do you imagine they are doing?

Hadley: Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, Lee Miller, Helmut Newton and Wolfgang Tillmans are some of my favorites. None of them ( except for Lee Miller perhaps) was known for being particularly sporty. I think Leni Riefenstahl was the first true sports photographer. She was also an inspiration for me.

[end_columns]

[column width="47%" padding="0"]Q: KSWISS has a strong Classic heritage since 1966.What does Classic mean to you?

Hadley: Classic is something that never goes out of style. I wore KSWISS in high school…I think that qualifies them as classics!

Q: Is there a special Trend going on in Photography? A special look maybe?

Hadley: I think that photography is going to get a bit more back to the basics… first of all due to the global economic situation…there simply are not going to be enormous budgets for tons of assistants , tons of retouching, et cetera. I can imagine photography becoming more intimate and spontaneous again, instead of so manufactured and retouched like it has been lately. I also think that film is going to make a comeback, at least in the art world.[/column]

Q: What can we expect from you in the Future?
Hadley: A book! And a huge party when it is finally finished….!

Q: Tell us about the White Book you shot for KWISS and how did it come about that you worked für KSWISS? Which Series have you most enjoyed?

Hadley:The white book was a fantastic project.It was a book project which I shot to commemorate 4o years of KSWISS. I basically just grabbed my camera and went to London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam with some Classics in my bag. I could shoot whatever I wanted, musicians, friends, street scenes, and events. It was a “free interpretation” of the brand loosely sectioned into the different cities. The title of the book is “PLAY”, and I think the spirit of playing , whether music, games, or in life comes through.

Thank You Hadley !
