My name is Michael, I am the general manager and founder of Starcow. Samir, executive manager. Mathieu, Starcow's digital manager.

We opened our first store in 1996 in the suburbs of Paris. The first store was a very small store. In 1999, we opened the first version of Starcow, which was a small shop and displayed products that we curated ourselves. 

That was a kind of small museum with everything we liked. We then had the first SB collection to display. That was our start with Nike. In 22 years, Starcow has evolved and we now have a brand new shop that we opened last December.

ACG exactly fits with what we do. We mix the brand with other brands, and we display tech silhouettes to those who look for tech products. "Oregon Series" is a collection that fits Starcow DNA, 

as Nike has tapped into vintage ACG products. And we can see that these products are still up to date. As Starcow is. So there is a genuine link between the two. The desire behind this pop-up with ACG

is to take a photography of a period, from the beginning of ACG, between 1995 and 2000. Everything that we display in the shop here is to represent this period and ACG ; outdoor, 

skateboard, snowboard. There is also urban props, and graffiti. This is the panoply that goes with this period. The idea was to recreate a little bedroom, of someone who is between 16 and 20 years old.

For the pop-up this week, and the release of the “Oregon Series” collection, we have three speakers who are going to come and talk about their relationship to this kind of tech products, 

which also are heritage products. "I buy another pair, some boots, and it's a pair of ACG. I had a crazy journey with it because I found it to be the most efficient and strongest pair I could have, between all the pairs I possess."

The future of Starcow is its past too ; there is this streetwear cycle we pass along and that comes back, and we want to keep sharing it
