supply thinking its special because it doubles the retail on items is even worse ;|Tbh, I think they're prices are fair. People will and still buy from Supply because they know they're getting top quality goods from well-known global brands.
pretty much made brands like diamond supply,C&C, OBEY and HUF regularly available to the kind of people who would usually go to general pants,glue etc and in the process creating thousands of new hypebeasts.GALLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONARIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Culture Kings and along with Crooklan (a store from Parramatta) ruined HUF socks for me. I no longer see them as "exclusive". I know they weren't really, but before no one wore them... but now-a-days, you'd see 5-6 fuckers wearing it on Pitt Street.They are so fucking annoying too, Im trying to look at shit and like every person in the fucking store wants to have a conversation.
Not to mention the staff at CK dress so fucking ridiculous.

Never thought the brand would end up like this
(specifically, over here in AUS)

The exclusivity was lost a long time ago. If you still want that(not sure if people know I am wearing a white oxford or that it is visvim) Im not sure how you go ahead with it but Id like to hear some opinions
I'm just overall disgusted in the whole 5-panel trend, I knew it was coming though. Like when OBEY + Stussy made those hideous 5 panels with aztec designs and overall floral prints, it made me never want to wear my hats again. I don't understand how people would pay $30-$40 for those worthless things... shit's horrific.I can't believe 5 panels took so long to trend though over here...most people knew about them, or had seen someone wearing one at least a year ago even 2. Yet people dont start liking things or wearing them until they see a whole bunch or people wearing them. I've always liked them for years but they look like shit on me so i wont wear one. IDGAF how good the hat is if it doesnt look good on im not wearing it
its because they were exclusive as fuck at the time. you either had to pay an arm and a leg to get one over in australia and that usually turned people off. they only really blew up here when they became easier to buy/cheaper.I'm just overall disgusted in the whole 5-panel trend, I knew it was coming though.

A wolf in sheep's clothing.
Fair enough, I respect that. But i am the type that doesn't like attention, I hardly discuss my sneakers with hype staff even though I know some of them know jack and own jack.To me, that was my inspiration to get into streetwear. I loved the fact that people would turn heads just to look at what hat I was wearing, or what shoes I was rocking. Not to mention the form of respect we get from fellow people who enjoy and have a passion in their clothing, just as we are right now.

5-panels, I have so many different tiers from supreme for any fit I want to match up. I dont really have an opinion on that. Fitteds, the best I had were from Huf before it went online exclusively.

In regards to exclusiveness:
I reckon it mostly applies to most people who know what the other person is wearing. IE, let's say I walked past someone who was wearing the Supreme Shibuya t-shirt. Most people would either believe it's a fake or a regular t-shirt, but to us, we already know that t-shirt costs over 200 hundred dollars, let alone it's rare as fuck.

Look I can sympathize with him regarding that whole point, getting rep. As an introvert, it doesnt do anything for me but I have met a lot of others who do it just for that recognition. My personal opinion is as follows, its not about the brands and the exclusivity but about your entire fit. Throwing pieces together based solely on brand and exclusivity never works, you look ass in the end.your'e a douche.
. I remember buying crooks from Capsule(were called fresh-in) back in 2007, the stuff was so badly made and looked like it would fall apart any minute. Here are pictures of a few fitteds I had HB members pick up for me from Huf and The Hundreds;I remember heading to the states when i first got into street wear back in 2007. the only place you could buy BBC in oz was some shop in sydney which sold tee's for $250 and hats for like $300...went to fred segal in L.A and they had a sale on got a few bbc tee's for $30 each and a hat for $35....fuck we get ripped off sometimes. At least street wear getting more popular in australia has brought the prices down a bitdude I live in the US now, and I remember paying those rape prices back when I still lived in Brisbane. With a strong Aussie dollar its literally cheaper to buy it from the US. I proxy for people back home in Australia with things from America all the time and they save so much cash. I know we have higher pay rates and stuff, but sometimes its just nuts. If you guys ever need anything, hit me up, I charge a really reasonable fee.

When I was back home visiting in July I didnt even bother going into Culture Kings.. the way you guys describe it, it kind of sounds like zumiez and pacsun.
