^that first coin purse would make a nice stash pouch for those of whom have stashes... i'd probably pop a condom in it, for those away from home on hand endeavors.
 
Anyone seen the coin pouches because when I went to the store yesterday one of the dudes told me they didnt get em yet
they lied to you lol
i bought the red one, figured my gf could use as an id holder and with drinking cash, stuff it in her bra or something when we go club... so she'll carry the coin pouch and i'll carry the newly designated "condom holder" (which is officially called a key holder but unless they guess you'll either stick 1 key in it or youre supposed to attach your own key ring, they shouldve just called it another coin purse)
edit. btw there is no belt loop attachment for the shark coin purse, going to have to get something like a caribeener or lanyard type thing
 
^smart idea with the cuffs... when they do city camo cuffs... i will be hyped!
^^maybe they didnt lie lol, they mayve not opened the shipment yet or something but they were there
 
^ i overheard some employees in the back saying their getting the city camo but are personally waiting for the new tiger, while looking through this big binder. no idea what they were referring too though
 
^4 yrs ago, bape drops wouldve sold out before the store opened, now theyre sold out about an hr after opening lol
then again there was a point that the store would practically be empty on just basic stuff. but has not "fell off" the map yet, nor do i think they will. 4 yrs ago ps2 was hotter than a pistol... things will evolve. at the beginning it was more than just bape heads buying out items, it was hype heads, hype followers, curious people, people for just cuz its never been here etc... now that its settled in, its more or less real bape fans supporting the company

amen... thats how i think of it too, a lot of people say "bape is dead" or "bape is dying" but in reality bape is just evolving regarding their fan base and customers. also, almost every clothing store is hurting in this recession especially the high end brands... but look at A&F, everyone owns something from them yet they are hurting the most out of every brand in the US... and they arent even that expensive i just think that times change and people grow outta things... damn i just went on a bad rant... o well lol

i just read an article on that rite this second.

Well you guys are really rite to sum it up!

Can anyone estimate the price of the Bape x World Series Tee?
 
^probably $80..
abercrombie has always been on my shit list. funny to have seen more or less my view actually documented, theyve more a prob on the inside then stated though.
-and as bape hypers evaporate true heads will not fall victim to the mark up, or have to beat the rush, therefore can and most likely will purchase more from the actual retailers... polo, lacoste, levi etc do not have the resell beasts that bape does and they have remained permanent for quite sometime... lacoste alone has run the same things over and over and has survived far longer on just 53 colors of the same shirt, and people arent lining up outside to get anything from them nor is anything uber limited. bape will be here for a long time.
