when i think of high end street wear, i think of brands that cater to a very small market, mainly to the people within culture that it represents. for that reason, the designs are less likely to be consumed by the masses and will appeal more to people who consider themselves a part of that culture. It tends to be more expensive, retail prices, due to high quality materials used, and of course the way it is branded.
so brands like stussy and supreme wouldn't be considered high end street wear. they represent street cultures but its not very specific so it tends to appeal towards more people. also, the retail on their clothes tend not be as expensive as other high end street wear brands due to materials and quality of their clothing.
I can't say this is true for all the brands people have been listing but I'm generalizing off Japanese brands I'm aware of like Number Nine, Undercover, Neighborhood, Wtaps, Mastermind, Bounty Hunter...
feel free to agree or disagree, im just throwing it out there...
