It came out when Union L.A. reopened (3/29/06) and is a collabo between them and the brands on the back of the shirt, obviously. Considering it retailed at over $120, you are looking at at least that if you can manage to find it on e-bay.........

[kyee87]

nigga looks like a formula 1 racecar.

A reverse advertisement.

Instead of those brands paying him to display their logos, he decided he would pay them to do it.

no you got it wrong it retailed for $34 if you knew the right people you could have gotten one

[damnIam]

Why in the hell would you pay 6 companies that much money just to advertise for THEM. That has got to be the biggest scam ever perpetrated.

If you "know the right people" you can get a jet fighter for $34......what the hell does that have to do with how much this shirt retailed for to the general public? yeah......nothing.

Hmm, are you sure? I gues I would just rather not believe that they would put a shitty, t-shirt only, "run by a white dude who thinks he is black" brand on a shirt with the likes of Stussy/W)taps/NBHD.......

Yeah, just don't believe it haha. I'm sure; the little curve at the bottom of the vertical line in the dollar sign gives it away. Here's a pic...

[sean_]

yeah it's definately jmoney. that shirt is hella lame

this is my signature

[cultpop 0217]

im sorry not tryin' to hate but that shirt is ugly and worthless.

putting a bunch of names on a shirt is not a "collaboration"; its a walking commercial.

jesus they couldn't at least make it interesting? it looks like a home depot ad.

for real, they should be paying you to wear that shite.

why would you want to be billboard?

i'm not a mod or a rocker. i'm a mocker.

yah, i mean...people complain about wearing a 'nike' shirt or whatever and use that 'walking billboard' metaphor pretty liberally, but this is literally just a white shirt with some names on it.

[aitsuka]

what a ugly billboard shirt

angels came, but they left today.

Whoever actually even spends money on that shirt or even wears it for free, should be pushed in front of the A train.

[mlproject]

this shirt is exactly what you're all talking about - an advertisement. same as a supreme box, an aNYthing shirt, (insert logo tee here). this shirt is interesting as it plays with this idea of brand cool. these brands are at the head of the game because they understand it, using it to flip traditional advertising avenues, getting you to pay to wear their logo. none of these guys advertise in the magazines, they have you walking around doing it for them as they become the mag's substance and continue to go up up and over.

[super]

Worddd man. That shit is exactly what somebody said: the epitome of brand whoring. Loll I bet all those suckers who bought it will try to defend their purchase with "omg man you guys just don't understand this shit!!" or shit like "dude the quality and the fabric is like out of your league" or similar bullshit. There is no excuse for being such a retard; advertising the reopening of Union and a ton of other brands on the back??? Perhaps it's to show everybody else that they are exclusive cuz they rock billboard shirts with brands that most people don't wear.

HAHAHAHA

[boystory]

though i guess 130 bucks or whatever is cheaper than buying one shirt each of those brands.

who's laughing now?

[valaa]

amazing!

How could they even call it a collab t-shirt? It's a joke and so are most of those brands.

hahahaha man I didn't think of that at all

hahaha

[6MT]

i never like union for some reason, nothing really catch my eyes, i just never grasp the idea of it,

[jjs home]

it looks just like the evoke tee with all the japanese brands that they have put out the last two years

as far as it just being logos, i it really that serious? its the point of the shirt, to show the solidarity within those brands
