For me personally, priorities changed.
I used to lurk the sales sections for goodies almost everyday.
Even dropping $550 on a Salmon PONR.

Then one day I woke up and looked at my collection and realised that shit theres close to $3000 right there. $3000 I could've spent on a decent car or helped out my parents.


Now, I have a daughter and she's No.1.

However, my declining interest in Bape started around 2011, around the time Bape was bought by IT. The purchase didn't phase me, it was more the releases that followed.
Many have already posted here that designs are weak and often re-used.

But what really annoyed me was when I went to the Pirate stores in Japan and they have nothing. fuck all.
and not only that, they were expensive and only the last seasons' items.
I bought a pair of roadstas that i've only worn three times only because I didn't want to leave empty handed.
Should've spent that 8000 yen on a pair of nikes from the nike outlet across the way from the pirate store....
