Hypebeast using Superfuture as a source?

[kiya]

This is really weird, and excuse me if they've been doing this for a while..

It's the first time i've seen Hypebeast do this..

Look where their source link leads to:

http://www.hypebeast.com/2007/02/visvim-2007-samples/#more-22482

The 27th page of a our Visvim conversation...

[doctorgnar]

Yeah, they do that.

Kind of pisses me off for some reason.

[sycamore no more]

Kill them!

[sidneylo]

I love how they (the staff) pride themselves in their status within the online streetwear community as one of the top news sites--when in reality, they're just a pathetic news aggregator with a crappy web design and a poor excuse for contributing to this demographic. Wait, are we talking about clothing lines or shitty blogs? I forget.

i don't know but that michael chang pumps with the ostrich skin are fire

[rhythmandsound]

they've been doing this for ages, no biggie...i like having 'news aggregators' so you don't have to troll thru every forum/thread to find the interesting bits

[jasonm]

nothing new..

that site is essentially a warehouse of hard to find garbage that only blind people with too much of their parents money would be interested in.

[canice]

hahahhaha.

it's funny you mention that cause when the Levi's thing happened, they totally ripped your post here and used it for their "news". you should sue them back

[sriracha hot sauce]

You can clown it all you want, but you KNOW you click on hypebeast.com AT LEAST once a day.

I didnt know superfuture was "the mecca" when it came to anything fashion. Sorry.

EDIT:

by the way, I guess their forums stole the info couple days ago?

The more you know.

I don't know why, but I expected them to be more professional than that.

[M.O.A]

yeah they ahve been doing that shit forever....thing is they do it on so many sites. oh well

[youngluc]

I don't hahahahah hahahah

hahahahahahahahahah hahahahahhahahha.

You probably talk to dcrev and witts too much.

[ghostdeini]

ummm I highly doubt your average hypebeast reader would be interested in visvims that look like glorified boat shoes (not to knock visvims or anything, but you get the idea)

[Guest DUM]

It's not the first time they've posted Visvims on HB's front page...

[corporategrunt]

I still read hypebeast every now and then, but I def find myself accessing the information they post before I see it on hypebeast- whether it be SuFu, honeyee or other newsletters.

It is somewhat comforting to know that my taste is somewhat more mature/different than what dedicated hypebeast readers want - can't be wearing bright neon colored all-over print hoodies everyday anymore at my age.

But with the way information travels faster and faster (along with hypebeast posters becoming older/mature), I wouldn't be surprised if hypebeast start picking up more stuff on items/trends discussed in boards such as sufu and such. No sacred grounds - kids always want the newest illest ish...

[nappyhead jenkins]

They are watching you kiya next thing you know they will be declaring flathead shirts the hot new item

but in all seriousness they will jock anything done by a japanese company so you gotta expect they will be gouging these boards for info as the streetwear worm turns

[Tronics]

Ha.

Elitism runs deep on here.

Its good for what it is.

Call it an online magazine.

Call it a 'hyped' up site that 'steals' news.

Either way its big in the game.

the only time ive ever been on that site ever was when i clicked your link.

[naturaljax]

some of the stuff they post on the front page of HB surprises me, like when it's APC's new line, CdG, NdG, Acne, etc.

I can't imagine most people that frequent HB to be interested in those kinda of clothes

[DJ2xTech]

all the hypebeasts getting angry because their site is being criticized.

=(

agreed. sites like this save me time...

[WINDman]

That's exactly what makes hypebeast HYPEBEAST!!!
