NO HATING hahaha...
I found a great deal on blue swift camo hoodies the other day and I just want to know the dirt on this brand before I go out and buy an expensive hoody. I mean I like the hoody, but I dont want to support a lame brand. For instance, I dont want to buy something that is lame and since I know nothing of the brand I am weary of pulling something like the moron punk kids in mexico do when they were Swastika shirts. They just dont know and I want to know before I buy.

You need to ask someone on a message board if a hoody is "cool?" I think YOU'RE just NOT cool. Do you think they look good or fit good? If they are/do, then wear them and stop being a bitch and worrying about if something is cool or not, man. *****s need some serious originality every now and then and stop worrying about what other people think.

You need to ask someone on a message board if some pair of jeans are "cool?"
Hoodies arent jeans... Does Addict even make jeans?..

Look, I dont support brands unless I know something about them. LIKE I SAID, "I just want to know the dirt on this brand before I go out and buy an expensive hoody."
Im not asking if rappers are wearing it or if Ill get girls at the local highschool, Im asking if the brand is legit. Geographically its not normally available anywhere near me and I am not familiar with it at all.

...if you have to ask...dont buy it...

but if you truly like the design/color/whatever interested you...then go for it...i dont get why you need to know if the brand is "legit" or not...

dont be so narrow minded when it comes to fashion...just wear what you like...

and imo...addict is just so-so...but thats only cause im not a fan of the whole camo thing, and they tend to overuse their camoprint...but i like the cut of one of the hoodies...has a high neck...

last seasons addict was good... they were putting out stuff that was original.. this seasons stuff is trying to had to be like bape and doesnt offer anything fresh. imo the swifty camo hoodies are a cheap mans bape. and personally i think the blue camo is horrific, the green camo is ok but id rather buy carhartt or maharish/mhi if i were to buy a camo hoody depending on how much i wanted to spend.

but it all boils down to whether you like it or not... if you like it buy it. i know a few people with the blue swifty camo hoody

camthraxFHK: For the sake of getting the answers you want...consider rewording your question next time. Ask heads what their opinion of Addict is, not if they "think it's cool." Thinking stuff is cool is highly subjective and in most cases its an inherent thing...ie...I think shit is cool if I think shit is cool. if you don't think it's cool I couldn't care less. That's just having original opinion and style. Furthermore, you shouldn't rock gear just coz heads here, or anywhere else for that matter, say they think it's cool...you gotta be fresh with your own style. Now...Addict...dope brand, good quality, been a big name in the UK streetwear game for years and years. I've had a few of their items over the years and it's always been topnotch. Might be slightly on the pricey side but i think that's worth it to cop something that every other fool on the block/subway/at the party has on...

I'm really feeling ADDICT's stuff. The quality of their hoodies is on point and their designs aren't the over the top "Hey, I have low self esteem, everyone look at me in awe so I can feel cool!!!" formats that seem to be the rage now-a-days. I don't know how they fit and if anyone would be cool enough to let me in on that information I'd be your best friend.

Addict is cool, but you shouldnt buy it cuz it seems that you're not really into the graffiti type shit, which is what its about. Also.....your not cool. neither am i tho.

i got the blue camo when it first came out, and really like it (prolly my favorite piece of clothing that i have)

Addict is dope for sure, but you're not because your asking what other people think is cool and managing your purchases by that. I especially like the Artist collab tees they did a while back, the one with the London Police is dope!

You seriously came online to ask if a brand was cool or not??? WOW!! Your lame dude. I didn't know jack about Addict and I saw the swift camo hoodie and I bought it knowing nothing about Addict except it was a UK based clothing brand. All I knew was I liked the look of it and yes the quality is pretty good. If you call Swifty camo biting off Bape then I guess Bape bit off the Military camo then with their own twist. I'm so tired of the biting off Bape reference.

Very dirty brand :D

Im also a gald owner of the super hoodie, very origional and colorful..
Its a shame that its to warm for rocking it in the summer time unless you use it as a jacket, which also looks great..!

addict has consistantly made dope shit, whether they're on the "cool kids" radar or not.

I've only ever seen Addict on very strange looking people. Is that a key? No not really, like others said buy what you want and like what you want.

A spot in a random neighborhood in a city not exactly known for streetwear has em on the sale rack for $82.50.
Basically I knew this was a graffiti inspired piece (which is cool to me), but I didnt know what kind of brand it was. For instance a google search led me to some lame boardshop site and I got confused as to what kind of brand Addict is.

All sorts of places sell Addict which I think makes it pretty lame. They're also based in Southampton, UK which is the rival city to where I live. I ain't supporting no scummer brands.

I got a blue camo size medium, but fits sorta baggy for my taste. If anyone wants it ill take offers. 82.50 seems like a good price, I paid like 140USD for mine shipped from the UK. I dont think of it as a poor mans Bape. It is understated and less obnoxoius than bape in my opinion.

Local 35 in Portland, OR. It was on a rack on the sidewalk one morning as I walked to go get breakfast. I ended up with an addict hoody and no breakfast. My best friend bought one for $100 like 2 weeks earlier there too. He doesnt know Im biting his style yet though since I went to school 2 days or so later.
