BRICK DOM

People that flip for a living have no jobs lol. Any grown man that earns a decent wage wouldn’t go through the acrobatics to make $100

Buying things second hand has sucked since grailed came on the scene and social media took over. I remember when sufu and other forums were actual communities and we were passing cool shit onto each other not for a profit or because it’s “archive” or whatever cringey thing. People didn’t flip things as much for insane prices because only a small subset of people were even interested in what they were selling in the first place. I make like 90% of my purchases through retail nowadays and if I can’t get it due to timing/bots/whatever then I chalk it up to being not meant to be lol. Of course there’s the missing piece or 2 floating out there that I itch for but I also got kinda tired of the hunt. I’d rather put my energy into other pursuits and be happy with what I have.

IIRC I double paid my duties once and I THINK it took like 3-6 months to get refunded. It came to me in a check when I had basically forgotten about it and figured I’d never get it back.

Weird cuz I got the j1b from ssense too and got everything. I’m not advocating for ssense just wanted to share with y’all.

A lot of acronym on sale at ssense, log in to access the private sale.

Whenever I see this I don’t even bother clicking the thread any more lol

$750 for p10s in M iirc

Yeah, I bought things from them in 2017 and it was slow and they sent me the wrong item (out of 2 items lol). When I reached out they said they “found” my correct item and asked me to send the incorrect one back in exchange and after I did that they eventually emailed me that they lost the item I originally wanted lol. I’ve ordered from them ~5 times since then too and it’s always been slow, they seem to be so understaffed they can’t even get you measurements for items. All pre pandemic... That said their dunk collab was dope hah

Looks like a new way to load the gravity pocket with the powermesh on the fore arm for the j1a? Also, umit’s j1a fit is really weird lol.

Yeah, I get that people always wish for the way things used to be so that’s fair to say. I liked acronym in 2010 and I still like it now. I mean I don’t think he’s making money hand over fist but as it has been discussed before there are definitely items that sit. As far as I know, almost every multi item sells out within minutes. Back to the pre-nike days I don’t think anyone needed a damn website tracker to try to get things in the first 10 minutes before it all sold out. So he’s definitely catering to hype in some form and that’s honestly how our retail landscape operates today. Look at nike with their snkrs drops and all these raffles lol and all the bot copping. Everyone wants in on something and it’s all so globalized now.

Well to put it simply, I think clever and functional designs are still well received. For example, everyone was happy with tension zips. The multi is just playing on the current (already played out) trend of upcycling garments, think needles rebuild, old park, heck even patagonia has its own frankenstein upcycling program. I think people on here see the multi as errolson just trend hopping and catering to what’s hot instead of just doing his own thing like “the good ole days”. I get that it’s a business first and foremost and the man’s gotta make money, but I do find things getting cornier and cornier (with that said if you take a step back maybe it was always corny lol). I think with acronym’s oversaturation, the veneer of “badassery” has kind of really worn off. This is pretty much just nerd clothing at this point. And that’s fine with me, but I certainly don’t really think of acronym as fashionable for the most part.

Does anyone else wish E would offer pants with wider hems (8.5 in +) again? I feel like pretty much every pant has a taper and it’s kind of unnecessary, for example the p34 would look a lot better without the awkward taper below the knee. Just my 2 cents
