    Pretty nice to see cncpts is working with brands like timberland and NB…companies
    that are based in New England! Agreed w/ nailtang though… these guys are pretty
    much working w/ the brands to come up with the story and pick colors and materials… not designing the shoes. Still not an easy task and it requires a real eye and mind
    for what will excite people and speak to them on an emotional level.

    I copped the New Balance X Concepts Freedom Trail 1500s for $50 from a reseller. I ain’t paying Boutique prices or trying to deal with their bullshit service. Just give me the goods and I’ll be on my way.

    I’m sure you could say this about a lot of spots, but the Tannery/Concepts was sooo sick before SBs blew up. Still dope, but not like before. Also, Cambridge != Boston.

    I dont know what people are talking about as far as bad customer service at concepts. Also keep in mind that the concepts inside tannery and their new store should been seen as two totally separate entities. With that being I remember being at the concepts outside tannery and corrected an employee about some of the details on the jason markk shoe cleaning product, not only did he acknowledge he was wrong and apologize but he then showed me around the store…he could have easily been an ass and he was not.

    As far as concepts inside tannery I will say the product does not rotate as much as it may should however again the staff has always been nice to me every time I go in tere last time I visited one of the employees noticed I was wearing undefeated and pulled out five undefeated fitteds for me and a friend and informed us there was a 5 for 30 fitted hat sale. THAT IS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE ! Even when not buying things they say hi and usually chop it up about whats going on in the store etc…

    Oh and another thing every time I was in there it was a white person helping me and I am spanish ! So wrap your head around that one and let it explode like dude in scanners.

    As far as bad customer service worse I ever experienced was bodega…well their old staff…I ask about a bodega logo tee and dude looks at me and makes a joke about 9//11 to which my cousin from nyc who was with me turned around and was ready to snuff dude in the face, thankfully I have not seen that employee since, and since then the customer service their has become better by leaps and bounds… example the last time that bodega had its big clearance IN STORE (not at the gallery space) within the craziness that ensued a female employee informs me and my friend of a corner of the store no one was shopping that had the entire adidas consortium azx series sneakers…huf, undftd, wood wood, alife, patta, the whole collection.

    So I do not think its race nor is it store…maybe you caught them on a bad day or….

    I know the one thing they hate is hypebeasts and people with no appreciation for clothing and sneakers…..maybe that is the problem for the ones making these comments.

    Big up Frank! dont know what this has to do with employees but I doubt i myself would entertain all the convos revolving around sbs and jordans so maybe people take that to heart, Concepts has been in Boston since 96 so they’ve paid dues and probably aren’t as hype as other stores…look at Supreme, Alife, Packers, and anyone else thats been around for as long as they have and tell me how adequate they’re customer service is.

    anyways congrats Frank! hate is fuel.

    Frank and the whole Concepts team have gone above and beyond in all of their projects and everyday interactions with the people of Boston. This is a shop that is located outside of a major city and has gained world wide recognition for their projects, events, and colabs. There is no way you can hate on what they have done. Anytime I have gone through to their shop I am always greeted, helped, respected, and made to feel welcome. Its not like a Footlocker where the sales people work on commission and if I aint buying they aint paying attention to me. Concepts cats will take the time to chop it up with me about whatever is going on and always seem super cool.

    Gullu/Ant,

    It’s obvious you are both dickheads. If either of you have seen FTB you would know he is far from fat. As far as being a designer, I am pretty sure that he is responsible for more than just the footwear collabs featured in this video. Concepts fitteds, and t shirts etc must all go through this dude. I am from Boston and I see Concepts fitteds EVERYWHERE! When things like this are filmed the person in the video very rarely has any input on how it is edited. Who knows what else was shown and or discussed that did not make the final cut. Concepts is killing it, their employees are super friendly and helpful. I know the big dude with the beard (dont know his name), Fresh, and Deon make are all down to Earth and super helpful whenever I roll through. They are cocky sons of bitches when I see them out and about in the city, but never to customers.

    Concept is cornet, their employees are super cocky, these fat guy isn’t no designer all he did was pick out a colorway for the shoes , I would understand if he designed a whole sneaker like the (yeezys) but all dude did was pick colors. As for their store its whack and small. not hating just telling it how it is. . .

    STEP YOU EMPLOYEE GAME UP its gonna be your down fall.

    Concepts has made moves and the shop keeps launching better partnership collabs and the shop itself, keeps on getting better and better. The few Boston shops that are original to street culture are keeping it true, and they are tucked away.

    It’s nice like that.
    Much respect due!

    I don’t know why shops that choose a colorway or 1 cool swatch out of 10 wack ones consider themselves designers. They didn’t come up with the silhouette, they’re just lucky enough to get the call to do a colorway. He seemed real cool and the colorways and fabric selections he did make sense, but it’s far from designing. it was also bugging me that it was all summerish and he’s in a winter hat and only looking at winter footwear. should have either done this 4 months ago or saved it for fall.
