Some of them. Supreme makes some nice tees, like the Deny Everything. I have reservations about the brand, for the above reasons, especially their being ridiculously overpriced, but CB puts together nice streetwear fits that are never over the top, and as a similar-looking dude myself with broadly similar style I respect that.

Sneakerwise I like JB Classics, and Run Athletics has done some nice collabos (I got their Bird of Paradise collab with Flip the Bird, the label of a Hawaii rapper).

Denimwise I wear only dry selvage: Nudies, Know1edge, Crooks & Castles, and I just ordered a Sugar Cane Hawaii 40401A (not dry, I knwow, one wash) from Japan.

Streetwear brands do a lot of clever stuff; I don't really pledge allegiance to any brand in particular, but Manifest's C.R.E.A.M. ripoff of D.A.R.E., Nossa's Che Poppa. This season's The Hundreds is very smart, including the 1984 cover reference and the Sydney Poitier rip (which I interpret as condemning popular American corporate multiculturalism)

In4mation, Hawaii streetwear brand, makes some really subversive tees, often with unexpected progressive religious under/overtones (i.e. the Anarchy logo with rainbow colors in a crown of thorns, or Catholic Jesus with an AK and a gas mask). I like brands that get irreverent with more dressy wear, like polos and wovens, and streetwear brands sometimes do this well.

And I wouldn't just write off all the Hawaii surf brands. Hawaiian Island Creations makes beautiful board shorts, and last time I was back I got a nice Local Motion polo.

Oh and I co-sign the hate on A & F/Hollister, and their Nazi propaganda-looking ads. Also, I think the plaid look is getting very old.

i dislike all of this. everything you seem to be fond of is boring. everything that you've hated on here and in your previous comment has been already been hated on. i hope you're proud of yourself.

I agree, Compared to online retailers of streetwear, Supreme is by far one of the cheapest brands out there.

Ed Hardy @ JC Penny.

Blows me away that people will buy Ed Hardy at Nordstrom for full pop when it's at Costco and JC Penny on closeout...

Edit: I'm surprised people buy it at all, so it doesn't have to be said.
