[Kankerlul Kutwijf]

Haha, they're all fake anyway.

Why you laugh ?

She dead

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

Seen the shoes in several places in NYC (Union, Kid Robot, Nom de Guerre). They are fucking ass ugly.

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

In fairness, I suppose the shoes are a separate line from BBC proper. They don't inspire a lot of confidence though...

[Johnny Cupcakes]

I think i've seen one design on that new Snoop/Pharrell video. It was pretty cheesey.

[hahnstch]

apparently, govacant.com is accepting a pre-order for the t-shirts, sweats and polos, for a ridiculous price considering the blandness of the items...

"wealth is of the heart of the mind. not the pocket"

Quoted from the T-Shirt for $60. Mediocre, nuff said. Spend your hard earned money on something you actually like, not because his name is Pharrell from the Neptunes/N.E.R.D or Nigo'. Garbaug

or instead, spend it on a $24 Staple tee which dissed the BBC. They copied the whole BBC print, but replaced the words with Bush's Billionaire Club. Go check it out

[hahnstch]

apparently staple has produced a tee which is a rip-off of BBC. they have exactly the same fonts and logo, but the words were altered, instead of billionaire boys club, it reads bush's billionaire club, go check it out

[MyMindSpray]

i wish all the hype surrounding BBC would just die...the way people are fiending towards this line is ridiculous...i personally think Pharrel and Nigo should be ashamed of themselves, bringing "streetwear" to this level...it's an embarrasement to the rest of the industry...

just my thoughts....

[poobrowne]

It's sorta fitting though...anyone who's really into that sort of shit, bbc/icecreams, you know they are a mark anyways.

Somebody out there has to be wack.

fuck around and get your waffle split

[marksound]

"Pharrel and Nigo should be ashamed of themselves, bringing "streetwear" to this level...it's an embarrasement to the rest of the industry..."

You can't be serious can you? As much as I don't like the clothes, I think this kind of statement is just silly. What exactly should they be ashamed of (aside from making crappy clothes tsk,tsk)? Building and running a successful enterprise? Hell, it's a business after all isn't it? You make it sound like they have commited some kind of sin against the great religion (oops, I mean industry) "streetwear". Remember it's all an image that YOU are being sold, every brand does this. The difference between this one and all the others is that it's too mainstream and therefore BUYING and wearing this stuff won't make you feel "special".

[mecca72]

I feel you marksound. You know how much of the "streetwear" that's coming out now doesn't look anything special, but they're making mad money off of it. I don't like the SCarters or the GUnit sneaks either, but I'm not mad at them. It's strictly business baby. And if some chump wants to drop a couple bills on these ice cream sneaks, let 'em.

You had to know these sneaks would look off the wall anyway, look at Pharrell's style. I'm not hatin', I'm just not paying to dress like him.

Mecca72, and I'm out...

[MyMindSpray]

marksound, i understand what you're saying...

all i'm saying is that you have to respect what you're part of...the same way visual artists have to respect the history in what they do, and the same way hip hop artists have to respect the culture and music that came before them...you have to pay homage respect to the game...i understand cats wanna get over, but if the culure means as much to them as they say it does, they wouldn't bastardize it...you're always gonna have those that wanna blow up and make a buck...and even though Nigo started out almost exploiting the concept of "hype"...i expected a bit more from him...

don't hate the player, hate the game??...sorry, in this particular case i gotta hate the

player(s)...

[nemomidas]

The BBC shit has been so hyped and delayed that when it actually drops everybody will be over it. From what i've seen the label does not offer anything new. Isnt everbody getting a

little bored of pharrell now anyway?

[corrosion o conformity]

I've only ever seen it on shaven headed metrosexual dudes and west village/chelsea hip hop fans---basically dudes willing to wear patent leather

[JUPAFETT]

I've seen the line and it makes me wonder...

So much much talent and money and this is the best you can do?

Basically those dudes put no time and effort into the project. I was told that Skatething, the graphic artist for BAPE, was rushed to do the ice cream and bbc logos in less than an hour. It takes weeks to develop logos.

The end product should equate to the dedication put into it...

FETT OUT

SHIT IS WACK

[ALVIN]

^ wow serious, man, skatething is sick too
