Already a keen gym-goer, Char visits her gym (Fitness First, should you be curious) five days a week, each morning before work. “I focus on cardio mainly, and running is my focus”.

For this week, Char has been running 10k each morning, and so far has her time down to 46 minutes. “This is on the treadmill, and I know I’ll be slower outside, but my main aim is to finish the run – I’m not putting too much pressure on myself to achieve a personal best, though it would be a bonus!”

K-Swiss California Love Episode Three sees Charlie Sloth travel to Los Angeles to interview tattoo legend, Mister Cartoon or more commonly known as Mr Cartoon.  Mister Cartoon is a Mexican American tattoo artist and graffiti artist based in Los Angeles, California. Since the age of eight, Mr. Cartoon realised he was an artist and went on his first paying art job at the age of twelve. Having grown up in the Harbour area of Los Angeles County, young Cartoon began airbrushing t-shirts and Lowrider cars before adopting the legendary “Fineline Style” tattoo art, which was developed in the California prison system.

Charlie Sloth talks one-on-one with Mr. Cartoon about his tattoo style, influences from West Coast Music and who he has inked in his career.

K-Swiss takes its new campaign back to where it all started for the brand; the American West Coast.  This spring, BBC Radio 1 DJ and trainer connoisseur, Charlie Sloth, showcases the new episode of ‘K-Swiss California Love’.

Comprised of four short films chronicling Charlie’s adventures in LA, and followed up by eight artist-based films back in London which will explore California’s wide-ranging appeal and influence over the UK hip hop scene. The story begins with the godfather of UK rap getting to grips with California’s resurgent hip hop scene and its iconic local communities, from the birthplace of gangsta rap Compton, to the Santa Monica pier and the affluent Beverley Hills.

Along the way, Charlie speaks with California’s hottest emerging artists, including the buzzing king of ratchet YG and the group Pharrell Williams recently described as ‘the next Outkast,’ Overdoz. K-Swiss California Love will act as the precursor to what will undoubtedly be a California summer in the UK. On UK soil, Charlie chats with a series of British talent and explores how California has influenced their style and music including singer-song writer Daley, English dubstep producer and DJ, Rusko and English drummer and Labrinth’s brother, MckNasty.

In addition to the documentary, the ‘K-Swiss California Love’ campaign will travel throughout the UK in early summer and will see the Sofa on tour in six key cities including London, Manchester and Birmingham.

Premiering new typologies of bags and apparel, the base of the collection comprises two travel bags typologies – the hard and the soft – an experiment in capsule thinking in which luggage unclasps, unzips and unfolds to reveal multiple layers.

Inside, the bags reveal a complete kit of parts for our week long stay in Italy – neatly, crisply and compactly folded with maximum efficiency to provide a complete wardrobe for every possible occasion.

The teaming up of Tom Dixon and adidas is an opportunity for grand exploration into the sports world’s immense expertise in technical and performance materials, matched with British ingenuity and innovation.

The beginning of this new design hybrid is debuted in Milan within an immense environment of a reconstructed 19th Century Railway Station at MOST, in the Museum of Science and Technology.

The Milan Museum already encapsulates the history of industrial travel and design, creating an appropriate and dynamic backdrop for this launch collection.
