i'm sure ian curtis is spinning in his grave

I loved how in one this book I have on Joy Division the band states how there were never ever any shirts made legally of the album cover from Unkown Pleasures.....one of the band members used to confront said vendors and the other guys in the band would always ask him: "What did you get out of him" to which he replied " about 10 free shirts"........those dudes were awesome.

does peter saville have the rights to keep pumping out products/using graphics since he is the artist (although he didn't do these nikes)??

[poly800rock]

just because the put a bunch of quotes on them don't make em the joy division dunk..i'm sure saville owns all that shit, as he did that supreme colab last year....i don't know if i'm going to skate that deck, might pick up the blue monday one.

[shagnscoob]

i really liket he colorway... it kind of sucks that id have to pay probably a TON more than regular blazers

are there any dunks with those colors? or similar colors? dunks that arent going to set me back $200

[Tisswat]

They should have been named New Order Blazers at least.

[Mbrand]

Ian Curtis quote on a pair of nike... That's a complete nonsense.

I'm sure he owns the copyright. I think the way Raf Simons did it was decent, but this is a travesty.

it's not like saville actually designed it, he just got it out of an astronomy book.

[notesee]

Never knew these unreleased models existed .. still wish I had the Supreme shirt

If this is an attempt at criticizing Saville, this is really weak. Art is no longer solely about "creating" -- contextualization is now as important to art as creativity. The Saville Joy Division CD cover is probably one of the most visually striking, interesting, and unforgettable CD covers I've ever seen, and I don't even care about Joy Division.

Some of the most compelling and interesting art of the 20th century hasn't been new at all. Not to sound like a generic art history teacher, but Duchamp, Rauschenberg, Warhol, etc all used "old" things in a "new" way.

Hell, look at Barbara Kruger.

^ Cor get you all with the modern art.

[Waxy]

blasphemy, and not in a good way at all

[Crillz]

hey, there's a pair of white sneakers.

edit: the most redeeming thing about these is the box. imagine how many ripped up test papers and checks from grandma you could keep in there!

[jpgm]

joy division or not, i think plain white blazers look fresh.

[cultpop 0217]

nike

nike will tear us apart

again

just dont do it.

[shagnscoob]

the wort part about all this is that nikes are getting overdone at my school anyway, so i cant even enjoy just plain white blazers, no matter how fresh they look

[genemachine]

If this is an attempt at criticizing Saville,

not at all, i love savilles art and i love joy division even more. he was just asking about the rights.
