Yeh, I expected Visvim and Head Porter to be a little higher though, especially Porter. All opinions I guess though.

And people can hate on Bape all they like, but I remember when it was totally underground and almost impossible to get, back in the days when Ian Brown from the Stone Roses used to be about the only person outside of Japan you ever saw wearing it.
It was a great concept for the time, the Shark Hoodie is arguably THE classic piece of Japanese designed street wear and they certainly gave a rise to brands like WTaps amongst others. In the early days Nigo was just this geeky dude obsessed with sci fi and super heroes, I could relate to that.

I don't care for what Bape has become but going to the Archive Exhibition in 2013 was still pretty great…
Bape x Krispy Kreme collab was delicious!

No one should care for what Bape has become, but by equal token nobody should forget what it once was.

Same could be said about Evisu (Evis).

Very true, although they still put out some nice jeans ….I just can't dig the gulls.

I like the arcs, dislike the patches… HATE the golf attire!

Bore off to the beer thread

Hey sorry fellas, if anyone saw me just going HAM last night on gibberish / nonsense / drunken comments, I truly apologize. This is a great community and I don't want to dilute it with that garbage in the future. Thanks everyone, please don't think me an absolute moron (though I may well be)
