Nice try, alt account of Houjou.

Why would you want to alter what is already perfection?

Essentially, if you want to wear Acronym, you need two things 

1. the knowledge the brand exists

2. the willingness to fork over the cash/pay the duties (oh hey, your $1100 jacket is actually $1400 because it isn't made locally *shakes head(I know, duties promote local business, but it's a pain in the ass for us))

beyond that, it isn't that hard to get a hold of.

3. Be size L or XL so you can be asleep on the day of release and still walk away with 5 jackets, 4 shirts, and 3 pairs of pants

How is it dead? A majority of these lackluster pieces sat before and now they all sold out. Modulars are a no-brainer.

Hype is going to be alive and well once FW17 drops, especially a certain jacket which shall not be named.

Edit: If that was sarcasm, you got me.

Colette is closing down after 20 years... guess we won't see that J1A prototype after all.

Can anyone comment on the long term comfort of the KMTR? As compared to boost? I'm on my feet 8+hours a day, so comfort is everything.

No comparison, the KMTRs are a lot more rigid. It's more of a put-on-and-go for a quick outing kind of shoe than anything (i.e. beaters)

In terms of comfort, Nike has absolutely nothing in their lineup that can hold a candle to Adidas' boost. Especially if the shoe in question is the EQT Support Future 93/17. (EQT > Ultra Boost > Yeezy Boost/NMD)

I've owned my fair share of shoes from both brands and I just recently sold my Vapormaxes because I got tired of it squeaking.

Feel free to continue judging me. I will reserve mine.

ask some nice people around to scan the specsheet for you. (if you like the jacket and only reason to sell it is a lack of laser printed A4)

The sheet without the bag is like peanut butter without jelly.

Snippet

Was this ad hominem spiel really necessary? It's not about "experiencing life" and forgetting something so trivial like the ziploc and bag, it's about not getting what you paid for. I don't have time for social media and I only buy doubles of jackets I really like (this wasn't one of them), so next season is going to be several "round the world tickets".

I recently purchased from Kith as well. They typically have the spec sheets upon request, or if they don't, they'll give you a 10% discount. Just keep hassling them and they'll take your return or give you some cash back.

Do they have the bag as well and was this an online purchase? I always avoid KITH because most of their online orders come in late so they tend to be on the floor first and worn before they sell it online.

WTS J61-WS Size Small - never worn $975 shipped ($30 less than what I bought it for)

Just got this from KITH and I wish someone gave me the heads-up that they don't include tech sheet and bags or maybe I missed the memo but I sent them an email requesting for confirmation.

Pics available upon request but it's seriously just the jacket in a clear plastic bag covered with two pieces of cardboard.

Extremely disappointed when I opened the box. I would prefer not to return this because KITH does not issue refunds, only gift cards.

If no one purchases this by May 31st, I'll bite the bullet and get the gift card. Every Acronym piece I own is a full pack so this has absolutely no place in my collection.

Personally I think it's very overpriced for what it is so you may be underwhelmed if you're expecting something very luxurious. 

I just got the J48-H&M in gray melange instead. Unfortunately, instead of "95% CO, 5% EL", I get "74% CO, 20% PES, 6% VI" and I can't fully zip the hood to cover my face à la Bape but I think I can manage.

Anyone have thoughts on the P24-S? Looking to pick up my first pair of ACR pants. These don't seem to get much love from this past drop, but curious to see what people think and/or some fit pics. All the retailer pics I've seen look terrible except for ACR's site (not surprised).

First off, how tall are you? Height is a very big deal with these pants since they are extremely baggy. All the retailer pics look terrible because these pants aren't aesthetically pleasing. It's seriously just a standard cut pant and there's zero details that evoke the "oohs and aahs" that other Acronym pants do. Honestly, I feel like the only people who copped this piece are the ones who missed out on the P24A-S from last season. The predecessor just looks so much better with the extra pockets.

I think you're better off saving your money and getting a P10 piece as your first Acronym pant. It's a safe bet and it looks good. The taper allows for a cleaner silhouette and the mobility is second to none with the articulation and gusseted cuffs (i.e. extra details that make the P24-S an even worse buy). For the majority of us who like the baggy look, we already have the P16-S and P20-S to fit that role, which once again, trivializes the P24-S.

But if you're the type of guy to spend $650+ and have pants that look like baggy Dickies, be my guest.

Edit: If you still want to give these a try and you're size S, keep an eye out on Notre. Black sz S will restock by next week at the latest. Other sizes (especially for RAF Green) are just sitting so it shouldn't be hard to find them on the other retailers.

I'll be making an announcement before FW17 drop. 

For the record, you're already in it for helping out the community.

Damn, at first I just thought it was a site tracker that took note of prices and what's dropping and where but if it's getting stock numbers too thats insane, really great work here man

Thanks, but it still needs a lot more work as coverage isn't as big as I wanted it to be. But keep in mind, this was just a small side project which was a result of me not getting what I wanted (obviously won't be a problem anymore ). I mean it'll help people cop for sure but the bottom line is that Acronym controls how much everyone really gets.

that's exactly why these sites need to stop using shopify

You know that's never going to happen lol 

They're definitely the easiest to backdoor but magento sites aren't safe either (End) and if I was really ruthless and got paid to do this, I'd reverse https://acrnm.com/ since I can already track Hanon and Firmament (not live on app, on separate scripts).

Free Costco sample underneath is a little more appealing imo. 

Here's a taste:

UnionLA stock -----------------------------

P10TS-DS | Quantity: 2 | Sizes: S,XL

J1TS-S | Quantity: 2 | Sizes: M,XL

P25-DS | Quantity: 2 | Sizes: S,M

J48-BR | Quantity: 6 | Sizes: S,M(2),L(2),XL

J61-WS | Quantity: 4 | Sizes: S,M,L,XL

I expected a little more stock like how much Haven got... especially since I called them the day before and they told me they had one of each size so I wouldn't be surprised if some got backdoored.

he didnt sell at those prices out of the kindness in his heart lol as for that acr reseller, 100% agreed its warranted. and what are you reading dude? all of vir2l say along the lines of "desperate times calls for desperate measures" "botsseason" "tempting to make bots"

I guess sarcasm doesn't translate over text well with all you newbloods.

I don't need a bot for Acronym. I never did and probably never will. The entry ceiling is too high for most people and Acrnm.com is able to handle all the traffic during release day which indicates to me that demand isn't quite up to hypebeast levels yet but inventory will still move super quickly.

If I really wanted a piece, I have other means of obtaining the collection (protip: being a part of the OG subnet access crew as well as being polite helps a lot, you should try it sometime.) I figured with this season being somewhat lackluster, I wouldn't have to resort to those methods.

Just an FYI, five of the sites that stock Acronym are already bot-able. It's ironic how fast you're throwing stones at random people yet you're still so blatant about your modus operandi.

Thank you for proving my point. IIRC, you're also that guy defending resellers. No surprise there.

Yeah nothing lasts forever I suppose. Either try and help foster the community but if you can't...Well then say peace, move on, be happy for the memories.

 

Maybe people just want to be helpful to other people showing them obscure sites carrying acronym. Good intentions. Once we get to bot level though...Were going to need a lot more than captcha.

It already is at bot level. Acronym pieces aren't produced at the quantities that require one nor did it have the fame that ever needed one so no one bothered to write one. So what happens when Acronym drops an epic piece and hundreds or thousands of people worldwide wanting it? Profit margins will be absurd and people will cop to flip as already proven by that moron listing his L and XL gear on Grailed.

Like @bluecrush already said: "Gone are the days where I could open the website and atleast have some time to browse the collection, and choose the pieces that I wanted."

People have page monitors targeted at all of these sites already and honestly the only thing stopping me from writing a bot is my code of ethics. Believe it or not I'm not a fan of reselling, be it sneakers or clothing. I think it's pathetic and I don't need a side hustle. But I'm not going to lie though, seeing emails of order confirmations while sleeping in is pretty damn tempting.
