First off..I love Hypebeast, I've checked the sight everyday for the last 3 years, I've been completely infatuated with the high end street wear market every since I came upon the site.. But lately I'm becoming more and more dis-heartened with it, mostly due to there direction with the store..I understand it's a business, everyone just wants to make a buck in this world, I get that. But in the process, I feel like their kinda fucking up the value/coolness of this market, as well as fucking with the value of the brands they are working with. They're buying tons of new product and immediately discounting everything, rather than just finding new cool product to post, it's becoming all about getting rid of the stock they're sitting on, contradicting what they were originally all about in a way. They became the major hub for this market, now they're monopolizing and seems that It's slowly but surely becoming a Walmart for streetwear, watering the whole shit down.. I just think it kinda sucks..Bums me out to see, but the world is blowing up in like 15 days..So who gives a fuck.  Curious to hear if anyone else has an opinion on this. Or just talk shit. Supreme... Supreme.

Ugh^. The ignorance.

What's the result of over supply?.....What's the meaning behind dropping products down to the price you paid for them almost immediately after arrival? They didn't start a store..They started a mall, they're over doing it. It contradicts what attractive about this market. Why do you think Bape died bro? Contradiction to the core value, over supply. I'm talkin long term, maybe that picture is a little big for you...Wait, Do you work at Walmart??

Ya, because you can't look at hypebeast without being a forum member...
Didn't say Bape was Cheap...Said Bape was Dead..Except for China now.. Sales were 55 million in 2009, sold 3 years later sold to a large corp for 2 mil. Stores closed everywhere. Lost all there hype because they over extended and over supplied..

You a dumb motherfucker aint you?...
