HEADPHONES: NEW AIAIAI Pipes

AIAIAI shares with us some new releases of the Pipe earphones series. The AIAIAI crew will create 2-3 new colors of pipes every third month. The colors are inspired by things/objects that have had some kind of impact on the AIAIAI crew throughout the years

The first one is inspired by the legendary Nike Air Trainer 1. It came out in 1987 as a cross trainer shoe project, but soon became a hit as a tennis shoe and it was even used in the NBA at one point. The idea and colorway has been re-launched several times, but nothing really matches the original one. AIAIAI pretty much gets this one right on.

The second version is inspired by the one an only beer - Gold Tuborg! Also known as "the golden lady", the beer hit the market in 1895 and was actually meant for export markets. Instead it quickly became only a national product for the Danes. At the old A-house, where AIAIAI used to have their club, the gold beer was served instead of regular pilsner and was even served straight in the can (picture below).
