  1. Not sure what that has to do with Acronym. Also it's really cool but he really hyped up basically a portfolio addition with a 30 day countdown? Ash please. 

  2. Did anyone else find the "chinese kid in a basement" comment by Errolson in the GQ article weird?

    John Mayer: I have a lateral question. When you see [fan-made] mock ups of things you might do that have zippers all over them, does that push you to not do them? Are you influenced by what people think they're going to get, once you see it?

    Hugh: Probably, yeah. For us, these shoes are kind of almost three years old. We did these a long time ago. So just naturally we're also in a different place than the market at the time.

    What happened with the first shoe we did, the Lunar Force, it kicked off this DIY thing at the consumer level. Kids were cutting their shoes open and adding their own zippers. And some of the ones we saw were amazing. There's no reason for us to do a zipper on the VaporMax because there's probably a Chinese kid in his basement who's going to do one better than we could do.

    I'm not sure if he is talking about just this shoe in particular here, or speaking more broadly. Maybe he specifically meant a zipper and not additions in general, i.e. "we showed people this zipper, there's no point in doing this again because others will do it better themselves." I can't imagine this thought process is involved in every design decision acrnoym goes through.

    regarding that GQ interview, I would really prefer if John "big-headed" Mayer would educate us on who he is and why is he relevant, rather then inflatable vests, subnets and the-glade being closed down (ehm-ehm). 

    Inflatable vests and subnet access is why he is relevant in the context of that interview though. He was asked what drew him to the brand. You wanted him to break down his discography?
