TABOOXJUMP Press

So I’ve finally managed to compile all the press resulting from our launch event.  Enjoy.

Looks like Randy Jackson found out about the Zeto

Johan Ku wears a leather jacket from the flea market and JUMP Zanatos

When news that Johan Ku, a Taiwanese guy, had won GenArt’s Avant Garde grand prize, Taiwan erupted in celebration proclaiming him the honor of Taiwanese fashion.  To congratulate him, Harry sent him a pair of our Zanatos (which I wear myself) as a gift.  Here he wears the shoes in his United Daily News interview.  It’s exciting to see Jump Deluxe gaining global acceptance.  To think it all began with a couple samples of patent sneakers.

TVBS coverage of TABOOXJUMP Launch

Good thing our ads don’t look like this anymore.  Haaaaaaaaaaaaa.

TABOOXSALTAR

We were talking to Taboo about how he collects his sneakers and he told us that everywhere he travels in the world, he picks up a pair of limited sneakers from whichever locale he’s in.  We thought it’d be cool to hook him up with a special pair of one-offs for every country he goes to perform.  Check out Mexico.

With our capabilities in production, we’re able to come up with stuff lightning speed.  We are the roadrunners of the shoe business.  They’re kind of sick huh?  It’s mean to look like the Mexican flag with Taboo’s logo replacing the crest in the middle.  These are the Zemas, a new style coming out next season, studded in rhinestones particularly for stage performance.

Offering further evidence that JUMPs are the best sneakers to dance in, Taboo shows Sharon Clott how he dances in his TABOOXJUMPs.  Click to see the video.

Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas recently launched a sneaker collaboration with the Chinese brand Jump. We caught up with the singer last week at Saks Fifth Avenue, where his shoes are sold for $298 a pair, to check out the collection and see if they’re going to be a good grab this holiday season. If nothing else, the kicks are as shiny as Christmas ornaments, made with four different metallic colors — gold and red, silver, gray, and patent black. They are also covered with zippers, “for people who want to stash certain things,” Taboo says, like candy … or drugs. The Pea, who calls himself a “Sneaker Pimp” and owns over 600 pairs of sneakers himself, also showed us how easy it is to skip and dance in sneakers as opposed to stilettos, particularly doing a move called “rejecting.” And just like we thought, rejection — dancing or otherwise — is tough. See more in the video.

Congratulations to the Peas on the 6 Grammy Nominations!!

Taboo with SNL’s Jason Sudeikis showing off their TABOOXJUMPs

When Taboo and the Peas did their SNL performance, Taboo found out he was in the company of a fellow sneaker pimp, Jason Sudeikis so he got him laced up in the TABOOXJUMPs.

And of course, the band, Bucky Johnson gotta be looking fresh.

TABOOXJUMP on the AMAs

What a sick performance toasting to the 2 awards the Black Eyed Peas won at this year’s American Music Awards. What better way for them to do it than with Taboo wearing the Black/Gold TABOOXJUMP Zetos. What a phenomenal time for The Peas and for us to be collaborating with Tab. We’re truly quite fortunate.

Chris Brown wearing JUMP in his new video for “Crawl”

I know he had his missteps with Rihanna but you simply cannot deny his fancy footwork in this video in JUMPs.  It’s like Taboo said, JUMPs are almost made for dancing.  The toe character, the strength of the rubber outsole and the sexiness perfectly lends itself to dancing.  And if this song is any indication, it certainly seems like Chris is remorseful for what happened.  Either way, the shoes look fly.
