Proletariat

I'm not even sure what you're point is Milspex. Look, when I think of quality, I think Vietnam.

I've seen their duffle at an Army Navy store too. I have no problem with companies rebadging premade items, it's just when a company gets so much cred for their shit that you think they would be able to design something new.

this is something I have known for a long time. Supreme most definitely buys bags from Army Surplus companies and sews their little labels on them and makes a huge profit. I love it when I see little dipshits carrying around bags wbeaming with pride that should cost around $30-$40.

here's one of my favorites:

Here's another thing. The whole bit about the Hundreds online inventory selling out. Are we supposed to believe that they had 2,000 tees online and their fans are so horny for their shit that they bought them up by 4 AM because the shit is so hot? Hell no. I could put up my Spring line, limit my server to 3 sales of each item and then get on the computer at 6 am and say "oh my God our shit is so hot that it is all gone!" even if nothing sold. Who is there to check up on that shit? NO ONE. It's miraculous how now they are already restocked online and they are ready to take more orders because they are "pulling stock from their stores." Look people, if you believe this shit than let me tell you that [mod edit: don't get political shit started]....... Again, it might sound like I am hating on the Hundreds, but I will never hate on a shrewd businessman, just on the dumbfucks who get duped.

I proposed to my wife after starting my 3rd store. I had just lost $35k in the first year of business by moving to Boston to be with her. So I mustered up $300 (which I couldn't even afford) and took the Chinatown bus to Tiffany's to buy this sliver of a wedding band. Oh course, when I got to NYC they didn't have it in stock. So, I hopped back on the bus and went to my local Tiffany's and bought it there. NOT EXCITING. Then I propsed to her with it on the plane on the way home for a week long vacation. She loved the ring and showed it to all of her friends with pride, even when some of the bitches asked where the diamond was or if she was joking. Then on our last day at home I pulled her into her grandmother's back room where her grandmother gave me her ring in front of her and then I got to give it to my wife. Just seeing my wife be proud of that tiny ring for a week made me beyond happy. My band is froim a company called teno and cost $95. It's exactly what I want and I don't feel bad when I get paint on it or fall off a skateboard, etc.

mine

hers

Plus, I personally wouldn't ever buy a diamond for personal beliefs.

sorry, none of it is for me. I'm all in for everyone doing well, and this isn't really aimed at the Hundreds, but in general it seems like most of the big brands rely on their infamous friends reputations and less on what is actually going on in the clothing. I was really trying to find an item in their collection that I would wear if it was given to me, and frankly, nothing popped out. Plus pagers are the new cassette tapes. I guarantee you there will be pager belt buckles in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, ..... I'm sorry, I put more thought into my designs that that easy bullshit. Which is probably why I am still "unknown." Oh well.

Redd...aren't you in Europe right now??

Angelus leather paint. its the best. check your local cobbler, online, or possibly some graff shops.

what a concept. people actually skating in Nike SB's? That's crazy. For a second I though the SB stood for skateboarding.

if you like skate brands there are some from baker, plan b, and alien workshop.

I bought my last suit at JC Penney on my way to a wedding in Texas. Wow, not helping the Southern stereotypes any here am I? and for the record we did wear shoes.

sounds good. I'll prepare security and as always lock down the store while you are here. We have a new back entrance for V.I.P.s so text me on your way and I will have Rafael meet you in the alley. Do you want your usual beverage on ice or are you feeling adventurous. Will Candy and Chloe be joining us?

arab dictators sounds like a venereal disease.

Giant Reptile you must be talking about Redd's extensive Desert Storm/Nascar related collection. big fan.

no, we don't carry them. In the next month I will have Dekline and some limited to 1,000 Charles River Skateparks by DVS. Check the Adidas Originals store in Harvard Square. It's across from harvard on mass ave.

self promotion rules!

ive got a camo one coming out in the next 2 weeks

hey adrian, you are very talented. is this a hobby or a profession? love that hemminway apartment.

we got the new VICE mags in today. Adidas bundled this whole paper dolls styled catalog and wrapped all the vice's with a coloring book style cover for the adicolors. they are putting some serious bank behind this shit. my friends Kenji and MR from Boston have been hired to paint kicks live at the Harvard Sq. shop this weekend as well.

cool. I'll be there by 10. thanks Redd. when's your next set in the bridge?

yeah, if I remember to go I will be there. what time does it start? where were you lat night...the place was crammed

Wow, Brio cuts like a knife. I know a lot of people who would think the Miskeen comment was a compliment. Anyways, I like them and they are mine so I guess that's all that matters. And, we can all blame Adidas for their clowny toe box which takes a little heat off of me.

despite the terribly designed flyer, this show was the shit. thanks for all who came out, we will be doing something similar in the future. there will be an article in the boston globe about it this sunday if you missed out.

yeah, both customs. I don't like the length of the toe box on the adidas, they are a bit clowny. and I just got the nike 20's to start with because they were cheap.
