Werent our jeans in the 90’s parallel too? They almost look like exagerated bell bottoms.
Without them being cut down theyll be havoc in the rain

Guess released some back catalogue stuff last year under the Guess Originals name. They sponsored a few of the Illegal Civ lot.
Here’s their latest thing -
Haha… they ran an ad with Karl Watson in the 90s IIRC?

You know what, I think you’re right about the Karl Watson thing. This re-emergence just reeks of desperation to me. Thankfully there’s no chance Ralph’s going there with Polo, (save that banging Palace collab). Polo does what it does and does it well it doesn’t need skateboarding ,unlike Guess.

That’s pretty ‘on brand’ for Balenciaga seeing as it is rubbish. It would be even more on point, though, if they made Balenciaga dogshit bags.
Circa the period of Selfridge’s, the top man “Gator” PR disaster, and most insulting bastadization of skateboarding fashion the high profile scumbag who ripped off Pocket Pistols illustrater better known for classic Santa Cruz graphics and all round style …where were the Santa Cruz knock-offs sold???
Anyway, my contribution to that whole period getting lampooned on sidewalk forum.
The knock off Tom Penny.
Please kill him.
These high end fashion brand D3 copies don’t seem to be going away any time soon.
Shades and goggles, yeah, of course mate.
Its so fucking rad Lucien is in with LV. Its literally hurting nobody and he’s getting paid and hooked up with crazy high end gear and cutting about in Paris checking out next seasons goggles and that.
Good on him.

I think you can agree with that and still have a bit of a laugh at some of the stupid gear he wears.
That said, I actually quite liked his/Abloh’s LV shoe design even if it was basically a reworked DC Spectre 2.
DC might not be too stoked. He is double dipping it seems.

Oh totally, I just love that there are mugs paying thousands to wear that stuff and Lucien is skating in it and flowing it to his mates. Morph eating chips wrapped in fried chicken skin wearing £900 LV high fashion sneakers is a life hammer.
It may look ridiculous but Im a middleaged white guy who has worn the same gear for more or less 20 years anyway so what do I know?

Absolutely zero cannibalisation. Noone who was going to buy some Lynx cancelled the order to buy LV and vice versa

It’s a taxi home with a bird who’s been hitting on you like some kind of industrial hammer, stroking her tits, tending the garden, giving the taxi driver a hard-on. Now back home, fingers roam, phat reggae on the decks, and you feelin’ the foam. Trashbat says “Nice and gently, easy as you park the Bentley!” Bring it down. Trashbat is two people leaping from the twin towers and f***ing on the way down!

While we’re on the subject of Shinpei Ueno and Tightbooth, he’s got a collaboration with Uniqlo coming out at the end of the month.
