Acronym.

[danii]

wait, that was authorized by katsuhiro? source?

l have never ever seen inside print elsewhere!

stop being fanboy without attitude and try to understand what was my post about, l know that insulting is easier than thinking.

[Flipflop214]

lol. yeah, okay buddy.. I wasn't trying to insult you.  It was an honest question, how do you know Otomo never gave permission to ACR? maybe he didn't maybe he did, who knows? Sounded like you did, hence the question where did you get that info?

 

didn't know you'd get butt hurt.  all love breh, peace

 

edit: saw the neg rep, you like demascus.. why neg the post?  petty lol

[danii]

no, sorry l have no bgr info on the akira design, but l can't see acronym writting polite letter to akira production team asking about permission to create homage t-shirt. just a personal opinion.

yeah l negrepped, l think your damascus question was off topic and more like a laughter. prove me wrong. not butthurt, but l hate offtopic insulting answers, l admited (in bold) l like damascus (dont own anything but like their artdirection).

more neg rep incoming after this sentence:

you can hate on damascus designs and call it for edhardy people, but in the end of the day it's not that different to shadowproject prints.

peace love jah bless plur and neg rep

umm lmao acr has deep roots in street culture where logo remixes are a cultural/design norm.. all the urahara heavyweights still do it even big fashun house labels do it..

~it's 4 dA cuLtuRe~ (5)

huge fan of the akira logo flip btw hope they didn't discontinue it 😭👌ðŸ½ðŸ’¯ðŸ”¥ðŸ“ˆðŸ‘€

breh, all of damascus "art" direction are all prints (logos, graphics, etc.).  you were talking about the akira logo print weren't you? you just took it the wrong way. and honestly, damascus sucks donkey balls.  I'd take a bootlegged logo'd tee all day than that bullshit dumbasscus is putting out.

I think he meant the neo tokyo futuristic vibes

[danii]

why you were so surprised when l neged your first damascus post, when you clearly meant that as an offtopic insult? wondering why you spent so much time talking about offtopic stuff you hate. but fuck these questions, answer just one: what was you motivation to go to someones ig account, find something you don't like and point that out while l never insulted you?

insulting now: art direction of the brand is more than just prints and logos, l am not going to convince you into liking damascus, because you obviously take the easy way and go with proven lookbook fits. on the other hand burgundy evo is kinda original, sucks but it's original.

(l would be happy if you just neg rep this post and answer the one question rather than react to your painjob preference or the backstory about researching proper aging of checker slip-ons to match erlsns)

Guys this is Acronym thread not Damascus & insults, move it to PM or let it be please

[Flipflop214]

lmao, i hit a soft spot.. wow.  sorry to derail the thread.  carry on

[Majotaur]

What creative direction to you think Acronym is headed? I think they can be more ballsy as they'll always have those classics that people will definitely buy as well

[bboysparrow]

Not sure about the creative direction but I hope that we can get some more shoes coming in.

[TEKsevenZERO]

Thing is Acronym have never made any shoes, I really don't think they'll venture into that ((ahem)) 'well trodden territory', nearest you'll get is the SI:SP & Nike collaborations, hybrid but never pure blood.

[RemarkableArmor]

I really like the look of the SISP slip-ons in the ACR lookbooks. Especially when it looks like they haven't cleaned them.

oh shit...

I'm so not bout this life...

Slightly off topic but there's a new Nike ACG drop live now. First I had seen of it was a mail this morning. 

[bboysparrow]

tried looking at Nike ACG and page said not available.

That must be the most underwhelming collection I've ever seen.

[RemarkableArmor]

Guess that's why they just snuck it out...not even a mention on the nikelab instagram. I must admit I've regretted almost all my ACG purchases so far...think I've just been filling time between ACRNM releases and been guilty of trying to get a cheap hit.

exactly the same opinion for acg.the design and material are good,also the price,for the reason of nike high standard to carry out.

but it is just the upgraded fast fashion,for real. langweilig placement to take chances at techwear，just like running culture the big brand want to clutivate.

id rather save up and choose the real all seasons gears that acr offered,that's it.

[jesterrp]

must say i do like the shorts though. how is the sizing on acg pants?

Edited May 19, 2016 by jesterrp

[lesteel]

The sneakers are much better and ACG is much worse, that's some kind of strange balance 

[RemarkableArmor]

The sneakers look better but they still have that stupid sole that makes walking like ice skating. I will never forgive them after I fell on my ass and ripped a brand new J47-A. They are seriously the least ACG thing ever with less wet weather grip than any other Nike shoe.

[jbob24]

Acg clothing is garbage quality in my opinion, but the last seasons lupineks are some of my favorites. I'm def picking up a pair of the lows

[Trisa]

can't wait to see other colors

 

In February http://sneakerbox.jp/ teased the upcoming acrnm x nike air presto sneaker (they used a pixelated pic of the htm air presto roam). According to them there are 3 upcoming colors. They also have info on the price, Â¥25.920 (eu/us probably €250/$250)

That pixelation is so teasing.

[Kamikaze]

can't wait to see official pictures for the prestos. still have a 20% off coupon for nike that i hope to use on them haha.

acg stuff is a pass. the shorts and shoes are alright but way overpriced.

 

while i'm here does anyone recommend a good waterproofer for goretex jackets? mines isn't repelling water as great as i would have hoped. i already tried the nikwax wash in and spray on with little to no change.

These are the recommendations from Arc'teryx, who know a thing or two about Goretex.

 

For cleaning:

 

"We recommend using a cleaning agent made specifically for GORE-TEX® fabrics. Outdoor specialty retailers carry various brands. We recommend Grangers® Performance Wash (grangers.co.uk), Fibertec Pro Wash (www.fibertec-waterproofing.de), ReviveX® Synthetic Fabric Cleaner (www.mcnett.com)."

 

For re-proofing: 

 

"We recommend using Grangers® XT Waterproofer spray, Fibertec Blue Guard Spray-On and ReviveX® Spray-On Water Repellent because their technologies complement the garment's original DWR."

 

All the instructions are here: http://www.arcteryx.com/Product-Care.aspx?EN

 

Good luck!
