    New acronym fan there.

     

    Bought a J28-e with NOAHGAZAN on grailed. 18 days later, shipment has not been done although communication is ok (guy went for his mom birthday + some stuffs keeping him from sending it).

     

    His profile : http://www.grailed.com/users/13247-noahgazan/wardrobe

    Just wanna check if someone there dealt with this seller before to see if he is honest. My spidey senses are tingling a bit but I wanna give the benefit of the doubt before I start filing a dispute. 

     

    18 days for a shipment is pretty ridiculous. file that shiz

    I feel like this has already been discussed but, are the P10 knee bags as apparent when worn as they appear to be in standalone shots?

     

    depends on a few things

     

    - your height and how it fits on you

    - the angle you are looking at it

    - which direction the material is "falling" at (similar to stacking)

    - the type of material probably make a difference but i have no side-by-side comparison experience

     

    but overall i would say yes, they are definitely noticeable

    By 'house' I meant fashion house, i.e., NemeN - and obv. by 'current' I was referencing the non-reissued stuff (except, the J43 which isn't new per se, but takes on a totally different character with the IT material). J44 has this egregious zipperthing on it...which starts to erode the distinctive-ness.

     

    Regardless - we try to the kids (interns, students, etc.) how to come to natural conclusion and eliminate intuitive subjectivity out of the design process. Logic and meaning behind everything. You, yourself (cmdR) admitted that the old style zipper worked (functioned) fine - and if needing/wanting true waterproof-ness at the main zipper, there are better alternates. The switch is at least, partially, rooted in an aesthetic choice. And an aesthetic choice that deviates from the rest of the bag design. There's nothing subjective about that judgement. The juxtaposition of material speaks for itself.

     

    edit-spelling :/

     

    acronym balances aesthetic and function. there are elements of both in every piece and it seems like the brand swayed more towards aesthetic this season.

     

    there's stuff like silver j1a and chrome bags... perhaps not for any functional reason but it's still ACR at the core - just with a more interesting aesthetic element.

    OD coated YKK > bling. From a compositional / design standpoint I can't really rationalize adding to the palette.

     

    i like it alot, really nice with the j44.

     

    it's a nice touch for ppl that wear acronym with things that do have flashier hardware

    gyak has always looked fuckin weird and there's usually only 2-3 sought after pieces from each season. jun probably thinks he has to differentiate from "mainline" nike running which is why we get all the crazy shit.

     

    the leaf foil camo from aw13 was just another take on his forest print jkt from ss10 UC.
