s2a x justice

[Guest jmatsu]

potential to probably move alota units. from a biz perspective the timing/marketing stratedgy seems sound.

the leather jkts and pants don't seem that special, but don't look terrible or anything.

i personally just don't care for the concept/marketing gimmick.

I kind of like the denim, but I'm pretty sure the prices won't be too easy to swallow...

they just look like standard pieces that the usual suspects would release. the only thing kinda cool is the orange hardware...the contrast raises an eyebrow at most.

[derdankhund]

exactly...I wasn't blown away...but neither am I repelled...I'll look for them at a bargain price, but I won't pay full...

same here. i'm sure some hipster-bitch would put forth the extra effort in head bobbing once she saw that the inside of your pants said justice on it or had a big cross or two.

In retrospect this makes sense considering one of the dudes from S2A directed the We Are Your Friends video.

I agree on the marketing aspect, will (already has) drawn a lot of attention to the brand. I do find it exceedingly cheesey that they're going for the "only 150 per piece!" limited edition hype though.

I'm curious what the pricing is going to be; what do S2A leather jackets generally go for?

not sure about s2a leather...haven't seen any for a while. i'd liberally assume the s2a reg line would price them at a minimum of 4bills (based on other peices i've seen, old linesheets, etc), while the s2a paris and their black label command more.

Theres gonna be lines of black-haired greasy kids at Oak...

[jskidder]

i like the grey leather quite a lot. interested to see more pics and info on it.

[yea!]

yeah hype aside, the grey jacket is balls deep in awesomeness.

It looks like Dior Homme reinterpreted by the fine tailors of Yesstyle.com's atelier.

yeah it's alright. looks like a grey dh with pocket flaps and "modified" detailing.

[yea!]

you're probably 100% right. they usually wear Dior anyway. i'm sure they went to s2a saying thats how they want it cut.

i just realized there was a cross on the inner pocket. i was cool with the back tag, but damn.

[Guest jmatsu]

oh no...they gonna put black scissors outta biz.

[Halifamous]

Eh, saw this before. Was unimpressed.

It doesn't look any better or worse than S2A's mainline jackets, and it's analogous to many other things on the market.

[jskidder]

oh no...they gonna put black scissors outta biz.

nah, there will always be a market for fakes. at least the s2a jacket incorporates some unique details and isn't intended to trick people into thinking it is dior...

did i really need to put the (10)? damn, fix your radar.

[jskidder]

^i knew you weren't serious, i just wanted to take a shot at blackscissorz

[geekbonchic]

Resellers of the world, converge.

[homi29]

hipsters are cheap when it comes to cluthing, they wont cop at resell prices.

the stitching on the inside of the jeans is tacky

grey jacket is alright, but i was never really feelin s2a at all. dont understand the hype at their pricepoints

compared to the shit you seem to be fiending over like con or ksubi, s2a shit is cheap.

some of the older s2a products' pricepoints were similar to supreme.

[down4nyhc]

believe it or not that colection or whatever you want to call it is suppossed to be stupid expensive compared to other s2a stuff.

something like $1500 for those leathers.

what's justice?

[Gabriel]

I remember the Justice guys saying in an interview that they wore a mix of vintage and H&M... but that was before the mega hype I guess...

They don't have a very characteristic style regarding clothes, compared to their excellent graphic design, videos, marketing.

if you didnt know ~

wikipedia:

last time they were in town gaspard was wearing all vintage and xavier was head to toe dior.

i'm hoping this is a joke...

i'm also wondering why justice felt compelled to make themselves even more of a brand by creating clothing based around what they might wear, which by all standards can be procured for elsewhere cheaper (like their older thrift leather jackets and skinny jeans) and look better than this stuff.

it's kinda ho-hum and lame of them.

[chronoaug]

No joke. I'm not as up as i should be on that kind of music. I like listening to it at my friends' houses who are big into it but don't currently own any.
