We’ve got another special night lined up for you. This Saturday, we’ll be holding a public screening of “INCALCULABLE” – a short film by Alysia Mazzella. This is somewhat of a first for us, and we are very excited to have Alysia/Secret Rabble at the shop – to show and discuss her work as an young, independent filmmaker/artist.

This is another Kafe King event – so if you’ve been to any of the events we’ve done in the past – you know some goodies will be in store for this Saturday.

In addition to the screening of “INCALCULABLE” we will also have a special guest performance by Honor Roll Crew member – MIKE BAKER the BIKE MAKER!! His recently released “Mike Plays it Cool” and “Body of Work” – is on regular rotation at the shop, so we’re super excited for the experience that lies ahead! Have a listen for yourself here.

(Ezra, you left for grad school too early…we’ll do some video for you)

ALSO!!! This event is BYOB – with the last “B” standing for baked goods. Snacks and treats seem to be staple at ALL of our events, let’s see what kind of goodies get whipped up for this Saturday!

“AHCHOO!”…”God Bless You!” – The sneeze heard round the world, haha. We know this may not be new news by now, but there may be some people living under a rock – or at least someplace away from the blogosphere and “innanets” (might not be a bad place by the way), and for those people, we proudly present to you – “AHCHOO”.

As we enter the shop’s 5th year we start out with a major collaboration with Reebok, a brand that has been a big part of our business since it’s inception, and for the EB-team – a brand that has been a big part of our lives. Unforgettable childhood memories of Domonique Wilkins, Michael Chang, Shawn Kemp, and of course Dee Brown. Reebok has always been a classic brand when it comes to footwear, but furthermore, an icon, within our cultural community of sports, music, and fashion.

Again, if you missed it – we were all over the blogs, and are very thankful to everyone that covered our story. The enthusiasm for this project has given us a permanent smile, and the satisfaction that the people out there “get” us. I urge people to google-about, and check out what the rest of the world has had to say about the “Ahchoo” Pump AXT, from it’s video release to the backstory and concept, and to the shoe look and design itself.

Please be sure to keep up with us (Use hashtag #AHCHOO on twitter), as more info and details regarding this special release will be shared in the coming weeks…

TIME OUT! Long Island’s premier sneaker boutique, Extra Butter, has teamed up with Reebok for their first collaborative release.  In customary form for the film-theme concept shop, Extra Butter finds inspiration from Dave Chappelle’s character, Ahchoo, from Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  Though the 1993 comedy is an uncanny platform for a sneaker project, the Men in Tights Pack reveals a deep connection for both brands to this cult classic. Similar to Chappelle’s big-screen debut as Ahchoo, which marked the beginning of a successful and legendary career for the then up-and-coming comedian/actor, Extra Butter’s inauguration into the business of major brand collaborations is sure to be a prelude to more things to come. Incorporating Reebok’s relationship to the film is Ahchoo’s first scene, where he calls time out during a medieval brawl for a chance to pump up his Reeboks; forever embedding Reebok into pop culture.

The Reebok AXT- a classic silhouette long missing from the scene until recently.  Appropriately named ‘Ahchoo,’ colorblocking pays a direct homage to Dave Chapelle’s Afro-Islamic wardrobe when his character first meets Robin Hood during the fight scene.  Majestic hues of deep burgundies and purples with hits of light hazel lay upon premium plush micro-suede, pig skin, and leather.  The orange basketball Pump plays as a direct call-out to the traditional Pumps on almost all original Reebok Pumps, including the model on set for the infamous movie scene.

Releasing at Extra Butter on 12/31/11.

So this is it my friends – with a week full of blog posts, in-store and internet love, and anticipation…our friend “AHCHOO” is ready to be unveiled. Our dear friends at the extremely talented and wonderful Je Ne Sais Quoi Films – have fixed the damaged footage, and have put it together, ready for your viewing pleasure!!

As heartfelt of a thanks as I could possibly give to Bam La Roc, Karl and the crew at Je Ne Sais Quoi, our fam that got up early to play around in the woods to be in the video, everyone that has been encouraging us along the way, Dave Chappelle, Mel Brooks, and most of all….REEBOK!!

And now ladies and gentlemen….”AHCHOO”!!

How do I even write about this night? It’s just consistently the greatest night EVERRRR! Our day is filled with love and energy, but it’s exhausting from all the shopping madness that ensues for our annual Black Friday sale. At night something magical always happens – as tired as we are, our friends and fam come through with the perfect energy that allows us to celebrate silly, all through the night.

The 4 Year was extra special….”Ahchoo” made his sort of debut, or at least announced he’s on the way, but in addition to that we were honored to have special guest performances by the NJ Rebels, Hoddy Base, OGM, and the one and only Ease DaMan!!! I’m not sure how else to describe, but if you follow the EB fam on twitter they described it best as we got late into the night with sentiments similar to “I can’t believe {insert dope artist mentioned earlier} performed at the shop!”. An honor fellas…and we cannot thank you enough.

Also special this year is the fact that we finally have some actual photo evidence of the mother!@#$in’ EB train!! Special extra shout outs to our friend DJ Tezo for holding us down (again!!), causing us to do all sorts of strange dances, and even Rick Rolling the shit out of us!! Hilarious….if anyone has video of this we NEED it!

Anyway, peep the photos by K.SWISSY – with full gallery link below and thumbnails after the jump! Sincerest thanks to everyone for the support throughout the years, we love you with all our buttery hearts!!

What the wildness!?!? Anyway, click here to view the whole gallery or see the thumbnails by clicking this —> Read more

So an exciting past week or so it’s been…exciting past few years really. We hope to only keep that train going as we close at this year and embark onto the next. This past week really has been amazing though from the overwhelming response to our “Extra Butter Black Friday Premium” Snapbacks release, to the wildness throughout the day and night of our 4 Year Anniversary/Black Friday, and of course with the #AHCHOO video which is literally everywhere. I must thank you all, and remind you to stay tuned as the full version of the video will be dropping shortly, along with some other goods we’ve recently received at the shop. OH, and I know people are waiting on a photo recap of Friday…soon soon!

Anyway, here’s some random things I felt like sharing….

So my homey AK the God came through the other day. Not playing around as usual as he walked out the proud owner of BOTH the new Premium Snapbacks. He also taught me the term “Chipper Jones”…

And speaking of recap – another friend of our’s Frank the Pilot was in attendance Friday night, sneaking around with various technology grabbing some review footage of his own. Check out his footage on his site here, but I’ve taken the liberty of re-posting his video here below for you to view. Frank – good looks on the support throughout man!

Also – remember back in the summer when we gave a closer look into our “Wet Hot Buttery Summer” collection? Well…does this photo make a little more sense now?

Also, I mean…my man OGM’s new single/video about sums up the way we’re feeling lately, and should feel everyday.

Enjoy the week!

Hope you are all full  and enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend. We’ll be recapping a lot of what went down during our Black Friday – 4 Year Anniversary throughout the week.
