misteraven Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 I refuse to buy gear at a mall. I cant stand mass market stuff, and off brand retailers like marshalls and tj max are especially not spots I'd ever consider getting gear at. not to be all snobby, but it's just lame to go out and catch every other kid wearing the same stuff. at the very least, i'll take the time to shop at a stand alone shop, so I know I'm not sporting the same crap parents buy, wnem they take the kids back to school shopping.

old*824 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 i got a pair of polo jeans and a school bus yellow polo shirt with a blue horse and pair of air force ones for 80 bucks at marshalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misteraven Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 maybe its different for kids that dont live in major cities. either way, there's always mailorder, but to shop at the mall just seems like 8th grade revisited to me. i see off brand shops as a step below that since their selling last seasons mass market crap. lots of it is cheaper constructed versions of mall brands that big brands use to make a quick buck and build margins and brand recognition with. lame.

Gliko Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I guess the 30,000 other people in my city might have the same pair of shoes as me or shirt and pants, but seriously I'd most likely never run into them or bother to notice what they're wearing.

Same goes for pretty much everything one buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 What i find even more funny with clothing is that depending on where you stand things differ so much. For example, were i am, wearing a giant tshirt 15$ guarantees that i might even be the only person in the whole damn country that wears that, while at the same time something totally flashy for the us like prada or some euro stuff in general..could be affordable and quite common...that idea is totally amusing.

satrdae Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 It might just be me, but I hate nike! I don't like jordan at all, and I won't buy any other nike clothing or shoes... I did think about buying a pair of the nike shoes that looked like the reeboks posted earlier, but I couldn't do it. I really just don't see what is so great about jordans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crave Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 i try to limit myself as to how much i spend to get some exclusive type shit. for the most part i try to catch stuff that hasn't exactly hit the mainstream yet. for example when echo was ecko and only t-shirts i had that shit before anyone i knew. some shit out today is just way too expensive for my taste. and most times for me, subtle is better anyhow.

misteraven Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 so i guess we have no serious sneaker/t-shirt collector's in here? c'mon, I know not all you people shop at marshall's and the local footlocker at the mall up the street?! kinda ironic when writing is focused around an eye for aesthetics & detail, while centering on ego, yet not many of you are willing to pay more than $18 for a t-shirt, or go beyond the local mall to shop for gear? I know funds the economy is tight and funds are scarce, but it doesnt take all that much effort to scrounge the loot it takes to get some limited kicks, and a premium shirt. once again, those are my 2 cents...

yoink Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I can appreciate the fact that maybe design is being integrated (art) into fashio like you said, whatever tickles their pickle, but for me clothes are about serving their purpose, to wear. I would never spend money on a three hundred dollar pair of shoes, then go run in them, like wise I doubt I would buy them, then put them on display as to say look at me I have money and Im awesome. I wear plain normal cheap shit, today its a white t shirt, and a pair of old khakis. Which are probably at a combined cost of about 30 dollars.

yoink Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Although, I do admit I might be willing to drop the dough to buy those grey shoes. (from the other thread) there kinda warming up to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slightly Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I am willing to pay for limited t-shirts, but most of the people are usually selling it for 20 bucks, with is fine with me as long as its really dope. Im not much of a sneaker person, i am getting those pictured above in tan and white, but i will wear them and use them, not floss with them. I really like this places t-shirts: www.thequitelife.com And i get alot of exclusive joints at my work, that will only be made once, because i made them. So if there is something i want on a t-shirt, I will make it myself. -slightly agreeing with raven on that ego/eye for detail thing, very on point.

slightly Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 another thing i might mention, is that while many of us are writers and do look to be original, we dont want to buy a ty-shirt with a handstyle or drips on it. some nice/clever graphics without being too loud or aggresive is something i think would do well.
