    Why is everything so overpriced dude?? As ridiculous as the Dee & Ricky overpriced legos!

  13. Posted by: joey on September 5, 2009 at 12:27 pm

    i havent seen any of you do anything. and its not like theres a big ass sign that says you have to buy this shoe, its just asking if you want too. why does it matter, its not like you guys are gonna buy it anyways. i’ve seen some ugly ass artwork that has gone for thousands of dollars. if sbtg made another SB you retards would be all over it.

    This is art But not for no 349 thats the thing with these brands they throw Good pieces together and charge a arm and a leg and say its limited….. You could buy a decent Mj shirt at the mall for 16. A artist did that but since it’s sbtg it’s gotta be 349…. Good job but nah i’ll pass

  16. Posted by: jxbllr on September 5, 2009 at 8:27 am

    Pay me $250 and I will do better one : )

  17. Posted by: jxbllr on September 5, 2009 at 7:30 am

    $70 shoes + some torns and dirts = $349

  18. Posted by: james on September 5, 2009 at 6:14 am

    349? for what?

  19. Posted by: Z on September 5, 2009 at 1:17 am

    Man, this is a rip-off. Ugly-ass kicks that no one in their right frame of mind should rock. Mark looks like a hobo and Leon a fag. Bad photography coupled with the bad “thriller” logo and ugly typography, taken at one of the most hyped up lanes in Singapore, make this a cheap-ass ad. This project, like many others out there, is just plainly made to ride on the wave of the deceased MJ.

    Whack and overpriced.

    I never understood what the hype is all about when it comes to SBTG, can’t appreciate his work.

  21. Posted by: Kelle on September 5, 2009 at 12:17 am

    stro is right. these are sick. I can tell a lot of work went into the design and make of these. sbtg kills it again.

  22. Posted by: gckh on September 5, 2009 at 12:10 am

    rip my art out. agreed that art is not cheap but not a rip off, then labeling it ‘tribute’ and putting a ridiculously rocket rrp tag! pls. have some respect and taste sbtg. btw, s’pore is really warm and they’re rocking thick a** wear? dudes, get real and try do it in a studio, at least it make some sense for thick clothing. ahh innovation.. air-conditioning! shame of my own.

  23. Posted by: krocx on September 4, 2009 at 10:58 pm

    worst ever? its basically sex in a shoe!

  24. Posted by: the_stro on September 4, 2009 at 9:07 pm

    u dudes just dont understand great art isnt fuckin cheap its like a fucking painter u cant sell ur work cheap knowing u put hard work into it and ur spending money to make money fucking hypes just care about things that are “fire” and all that other BS

    Inquisitive grew his hair out like a motherfucker. Hope it doesn’t get in his eyes when he juggles.
