quite, I only check in when i see something pop up on RS feed that catches my eye. I do maintain alot of respect for Unorthodox etc and what they created with CT though. Some of the colab stuff they did with NB was fantastic as well. Now CLAW is working with adidas at least there is some hope.
Interesting to see people blame Bape for the death of streetwear (which I used to buy 'til a coupla years ago and still wear quite a bit) when the sneaker companies also played a huge part with loads of pointless and boring Tier 0, Hyperstrike and collab releases... It's hilarious that people stocked up on shoes, high on hype with $$$ in their eyes, that they can't get rid of now... Rock 'em, don't stock 'em! ;)
My 2 cents...
And yeah, sad about Bonds, FP and Slammin'... :(
^Man i dont really blame bape but easy to poke fun at em. To be honest I generally avoided all the hype shoes mate, generally scooping up GR stuff in OG colours or nice variants.
never was I to be found queing down st annes ct for some Hyperstrike balls. For me selling my trainers is about clearing out some space...if i lived in a large flat with plenty of storage id just sit on them and be quite happy.
@Todd yeah i was there on friday mate Its were i go if i need to kill some time when im waiting to meet someone...some free art, a comfy seat, the papers and a coffee...were you there for a concert?
I expected it to be dead but it was totally rammed.
