Enough with the personal attacks. Age-shaming, really? You know how old Errolson is? Gibson is an octogenarian and has more drip than y’all. Stop showing your asses. 

I have no idea how old he is, I just posted that to make fun since he seems bit too cocky here and he doesn't look 50 lmao. That #acrhive shit is lame even if you're 25. Don't be that sensitive with all this "age-shaming" thing, you probably hate fit and thin people too. Mature people are cool, as long they act that way.

Imagine still talking about ACR pricing in 2020. As a long time fan, price is irrelevant simply because there is no alternative to ACR. So many people claim there are but none offer examples. If there was a cheaper alternative everyone would buy that. Nothing that looks like this performs like this at a lower price point and that's why you're all so mad.

I don't remember that I had any regrets paying 1400EUR for reissue of J28GT while owning first iteration at the same time. It's combination of attitude, design and pricing. Imagine paying two grand to show up at your office looking like that

Anyway we will see what the future holds, it's all just speculation, if you got the money and like the design there's literally nothing wrong with that. I just don't feel that spending 3000 on Aitor Throup jacket is somehow "not worth it", but paying two grand for J27GT reissue? Nah, you can keep that.

Thanks to Acronym he's the techwear guy, look how well it's working: he's doing collabs with nike, video games, movies, traveling the world, hot cybergoth girlfriend.

Yeah, but he forgot that he also could spend some time actually designing clothing. I'm not going to start how Shadow Project fell off, it's worse than ACG now, first seasons were so good because Errolson actually cared about clothing. Nice post otherwise, cheers.

digiririn, why you gave me a downvote? My answer isn't sufficient for you? Or you feel offended by my remark because at 50 you're still posting your mad fits on instagram for those sweet internet points like kids nowadays do? #acrnm #acrhive lmao

And you know this how? 

I just saw her portfolio, out of ±15 items that were released that season she only posted 3 or 4, so I believe she doesn't take credit on everything she laid her hand and I asked the Man itself sometime ago, he vaguely dodged the question with "collaborative effort" bs. And it's just simply more of her style while Errolson was into different pant patterns at that time. 

Signed, a man who is following ACRONYM without posting his stupid fits on instagram.

I was saying if you’re discussing the financial transparency of a company, it doesn’t make sense to compare a publicly traded company that publishes financials with a privately held company that does not publish financials.

To your second question, you can have whatever opinion you want. There are others here that share your views even if I do not. 

I never questioned financial transparency of a company in the first place, I simply stated that I don't like his pricing strategy and that Errolson contradicts himself with his statements regarding price increase. I don't have a degree in finance, I just wanted to speculate on the future of the brand and vent my frustration.

I just checked 13 online shops that carry ACR from acrnm to coevo and (pretty much) everyone still has all sizes of J1L-GT which is ridiculous if you think that most shops buy pretty small amount of items. It may be COVID or may be what I said in previous post, we will see in the future, but I don't think that Errolson will back out of his decision.

 recently i watch MKBHD youtube about apple who sell a wheel for mac about  $700 , the point is why apple sell a wheel for that price even more expensive than the new iphone SE? the reason is to tell the consumer, apple is a brand that more valuable or luxury than any  other brand   

I don't think this is fair comparison. Errolson just got greedy after seeing resale prices. Now hype is slowly dying and items are starting to sit on shelves. He can sell J1A, J36, J28, P10 forever, but people really 100% like what brand is doing now? Shit's got too lazy and too expensive at the same time. There will be always hardcore fans who will support the brand no matter what, just like with Visvim and I don't think Errolson will starve any time soon, but on the other hand it was worth it? Maybe he should've stopped at some point and put more effort into the brand instead of lying to customers about European salaries, moving production to China, new features etc? Acronym magic is gone for me, and maybe i'm not the only one:

Man the conversation here reminds me when Visvim prices went bananas. Buy what you like folks as long as your wallet can support it. Cheers

At least Hiroki was honest lol

I think it's also worth mentioning that there have been plenty of aggressive designs this year -- J47A-WS, J47TS-GT, NG4-PS, NG9-PS, P23A-DS, P27-DS, P27H-DS, P24A-S, and SP28TS-DS -- which have been complimented by more muted designs such as the J69-GT, P22-DS

J47A-WS – same jacket from FW-1516, in cheaper fabric, but priced as much as original one.

J47TS-GT  – same jacket from FW-1516, with tec-sys instead of pocket LOL, priced almost twice as much as original one. 

NG4-PS – is NG3-PS from FW1516

NG9-PS – castrated version of NG3-PS

P23A-DS – P17 with cuffs, sorry, P23 with pockets (I like them though)

P27-DS, P27H-DS – P25's with slightly shorter in leg and drop. WOW!

P24A-S – upgraded version of WS-P3A from FW-0506?

SP28TS-DS – I don't even want to talk about these LMAO.

J69-GT – uglier version of GT-J22 from SS-12?

P22-DS – Lazy version of P17 with ugly cut.

the 3A drop to name but a few

Every single bag is worse than the original x-pac released 10 years ago, not just from design stand point, but functionally. Remove inner padding, remove pockets, logos, triple the price and call it "striped down version" LMAO. As for 3A modulars and prices, I don't even want to talk about them.

What I really like about this is not that it signals a complete move from the past, but just demonstrates that they are capable of producing hits in more than one note. So far, it's been a fantastic year IMO.

Oh yeah? Name at least one original *hit* he released this fantastic year.
