in the long run... that shit doesn't matter. i see a bunch of punk ass teens wearing Vans (specifically ERAs or Authentics) like they are going out of style, and i have been rocking them consistently since i was in kindergarten (1991) and i won't stop until i need an orthopedic shoe due to age.
everything is a trend for these kids. for folks like us who are older, this shit here is a LIFESTYLE. i'm not gonna let some fuckin store or trend stop me from doin' what i like. G-Shocks are hot, but i have FOUR Bape G's, 3 of them flipped, but it don't stop me.
so why you cats buggin' because BBC is on Karmaloop and Ice Cream is at Zumiez?? Ice Cream was SUPPOSED to be at departments stores from the start, but since it was at Bape for 5 years you cats is goin' ape shit (no pun intended) about the moves that should've been. there are way too many people who still think $40 for a tee is too much. stop. you all will be fine, especially when it goes out style as a trend, and you all and myself will be the only ones wearin' it still. :banana-mario:
