WE/adidas colabo

[showbiz00ditc]

hey anyone hear about the WE (snowboard apparel) and adidas collabo thats dropping? Off The Hook in montreal told me about it... they're having a release party in like two weeks for them but i wanna see what they look like... anyone know of em?

[hahnstch]

they have been sitting on the shelf at adidas wooster in NYC for quite some time already, the dakota hi and lo were selling for $80 and $75 here, i think the boat shoe stuff that they come up with are slightly more expensive.

for pictures, take a look at hanon-shop.com, propersite.com and wellgosh.com, should be easy to spot the colorful dakotas

Yah, Off the hook must have gotten them through We or another wholesaler because Adidas Canada didnt feel their colorway was sufficient for the Canadian market, fucking strange to me ?

I believe the canadian WE dudes are handling the shoes.

fuck around and get your waffle split

[I J F]

Oh you serious, so would you know if Adrift has any?

[SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN]

....have you forgotten your talking about a snowboard brand?...ASR world.. fruits on a stick...let them have their adidas,maybe they will come with little cute skiis on the bottom. weeeee!

Its better to not say anything and appear to be the fool,than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[poobrowne]

I'd say We is pretty legit in the world of skateboarding...look at their team, Gino, Jerry Hsu, Dune, J.Lee, Boulalala, they've got some shit man.

fuck around and get your waffle split

[poobrowne]

And I have no idea if Adrift is getting them, call them up?

Isn't there somewhere else on queen that does We? Skateshops in toronto are weird man.

fuck around and get your waffle split

These shops also carry WE in T.O:

So Hip it Hurts

Parallel

Odessey

[rhymes with brasspole]

so hip doesn't carry we stuff. dropped it a while back.

adrift just got in we order today.

pretty sure not picking up the we shoe either.

[rhymes with brasspole]

oh yah, and parallel only does kids clothes now too.

[I J F]

Yah Parallel is done, the owner got pregnant and after that she went after kids clothing thats it. Kinda strange since I kinda liked what they were doing.

M. U. F. C.

[aDj]

really? cause they still have adult clothes in the window. I guess their clearing stock.

So Hip probably dropped it cause most of their clientele can't afford it. Actually everything is expensive in that store.

We is not merely a brand that has roots in skateboarding and snowboarding. The founders ran one of the best sneakers stores in Sweden before he went on to We. I suppose We is about a big crowd of creative people from both skateboarding, snowboarding, art, music, drama...or at least that's how they like to view themselves - as one big happy family. They describe their collection as "after-skate" (not after-ski...), and view themselves as a brand for relaxed people who like streetwear. Their collection is divided into basic and fashion, and on the fashion part of the collection you can find anything from the most classy and sexy dresses which might as well could be from Costume National or Versace, to the clothes that have a more apparent skateboarding and streetwear-vibe to them.

i heard that the owner was the co-owner of foursquare and he split off that n started his own company...creating WE

[BOATS]

WE is like swedish diesel=GAY. keep that shit in europe.

I AM LEISURE.

[notit]

GaY is right - 4square is trying to get rid of it in Canada. Cant sell it to anyone. Any see it ny? Nothing over $80us.

[PlyrPres]

4square is trying to do what? Isn't We distributed out of Montreal in Canada..i think you're referring to Fourstar Distribution that handles Circa etc, no? Clear this up for me. i'm confused.

As for We being the swedish Diesel...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah. no its not. you couldn't draw a single parralel to the two companies. or could you?

plyr|pres

[Mbrand]

We = Diesel = Gay ? No. PlyrPres is right. "We" got definitely the Snow/Skate background. Never seen any guy wearing Diesel Snowboardjumpin over a 15 meters rock.

[The Norwegian Vote]

If you were to call a brand "swedish Diesel" than that would have to be Lindeberg. But that's not too strange considering that Johan Lindeberg, the founder, was a Diesel designer for many years.

I'm not quite sure what makes a brand gay, but I'm sure you can give me a hint or two...?

If there aren't any dumb questions, does stupid people get smart just in time to ask a question?

[Mbrand]

I can't really see either. BOATS seems to know.

[The Norwegian Vote]

If I was to make a wild guess, I would guess that it had something to do with bright colors..? Or maybe that the brand has a sense of fashion when it comes to how the clothes fit, but if those are the criteria for making a brand gay then there's a whole lot of gay brands out there. Good thing I'm not homophobic... *phew*

If there aren't any dumb questions, does stupid people get smart just in time to ask a question?

[Brienneoftarth]

im pretty sure "gay" is anything that is fitted, or shows some good looking model in the ads with a fresh sweat wearing a shirt that accentuates muscles or something. basically diesel defines this look. I wouldn't call it gay, but it's just not my style.

[BOATS]

oh, it's gay.

I AM LEISURE.

[fatal_femme]

the whole activist shit is pretty um unfortunate. maybe they have legit people involved but it's still horrible shit. i'd be an activist too if someone paid me. but i don't need jason lee, stretch armstrong and amy gunther to tell me to wear stripey shirts and yellow track suits and clothing that is not original at all. believe the hype! love the hype! it's definitely not my style at all.

i love snowboarding but snowboarders are fucking lame. and i believe tiger does distribution for canada out of montreal. and then deep does it in the US.

im just waiting for some asshole to try and school me because i am probably wrong. oh wait....no i'm not.

WE...see your going to get set on blast if you post about yourselves you snowboarders...fruit on a stick.

its crap.

I think that's right. Too many colours for the activist shit I think. However I like their Snowboarding gear (Right cuts, nice details, Basic colours) and the OG stuff. I've been to Sweden for a few month this year and I have to admit that "We" really became kind of "mainstream" there (Corners in many department stores, Big outlet just behind GUCCI in Stockholm,(Nice! )Swedish girls wearing it everywhere, guys wearing it diesel style). However I would not say that WE is the Swedish Diesel as they are still active in the Snow/skateboarding game. The Swedish 55DSL? maybe more...

Pardon my english.

Anyone knows how to post pictures here?
