The Most Obvious Collab, Like, Ever: Super Coffee x PooPourri
This is actually killingly funny:
“So, here we are, Super Coffee and Poo~Pourri, the world’s most obvious pairing that’s been in front of us, this whole time, just waiting for us to look up and notice it. Kind of like that shy guy or girl in high school that you totally overlooked and put in the friend zone and then one day they showed up at school wearing contacts and new clothes and somehow walked in slow motion with their hair blowing in the wind and cheesy music playing and the hallway crowd parted like the Red Sea and SUDDENLY YOU REALIZED YOUR SOULMATE HAS BEEN IN FRONT OF YOU ALL ALONG!!!”

Deadstock X Adidas X Coffee
Deadstock Coffee and Adidas created one of the nicest set of shoes we’ve ever seen, styled after a hessian coffee jute bag. But they only made 150 pairs which have long since gone.
The detail is insane:
“All the details are intentional. The stitching around the tongue is like a burlap bag; the tongue label on the front looks like the country of origin label on a bag of coffee, and you can see this “code” here, which is like a country of origin label. The numbers stand for the year Deadstock opened, and it also includes the airport code Thomas flies back and forth from Germany with, as well as the year he was born.”
“When you look at the “three stripes” on the side, usually on Adidas shoes those stripes are stitched, but we chose to have them screen printed just like you see on a jute bag. There’s real jute fabric on the tongue and on the of the shoes, alongside buttery suede and nubuck, which is super high quality.”
“On the back of the shoe, we went with a semi-translucent green material that matches the GrainPro bag. We’ve adopted the gum bottom as one of our house colors at Deadstock—it’s great behind the bar and it tells the coffee story. And the midsole you’ll notice is actually speckled; that’s because as baristas, we spill coffee all day.”

A horrendously tack Spongebob-themed cafe to finish off the week
We’re just putting this up here because it’s so hideously offensive. It’s a Spongebob-themed pop-up cafe in Indonesia, that we hope to never ever visit.
