crazy that this in Chicago given the fact they have a spray paint ban there

writers don't give a f*** man

didn't know that about the ban though since 1992??

i think since the 70s actually

jesus...

man... f***. I wasn't a "FANBOY" or even own anything he made (besides a pair of off-white nike's I got for my mom...) but this s*** hits unexpectedly hard, has me kinda f***ed up. Just to think all the minor/indirect ways that he actually shaped my taste, influenced so many of the things that I love, made iconic artworks for albums I've played 100 times... Like everybody's said it was really easy to make fun of him, but perhaps that's always the case with someone brave enough to do things their own way, crazy enough to believe that they can achieve what they envision for the world on their terms.... smh RIP VIRG 🕊

This one hit me hard.
Virgil was one of my biggest inspirations.
Got to run into him a few times, and he was always so humble.
Been at a loss for words all day about this. He truly inspired a whole generation, and you can see by the reception today just how much he was truly loved all across. I always dreamed of one day working with him. Truly devastating loss R.I.P. Virgil

Anyone know what type of cancer he had?

I don't— almost ever— mourn publically/digitally but... this man actually had me thinking about the way that I think from a young age. Legend.

i think someone posted it itt earlier with the survival rate and everything

@drdre_ something called cardiac angiosarcoma.

I guess it's a tumor in a major heart artery... dude had too much love 😔

I remember feeling salty towards him bc he wasn't promo-ing Donda on Ig at all (feels v stupid )

but this guy truly spread nothing but positivity, while constantly getting criticized for something... never hated, spoke out against anyone, and just wanted to see the kids and the culture win. Truly admirable and something to aspire to ❤️

How tf do u even treat that man

If you didn’t get your Off White’s before now then I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.

I wonder if Off White will continue producing new designs or if they will just redrop Virgil designs from time to time?

Any more thoughts on this

Im really trying to make an effort to eat clean

Luckily the west african cuisine i mostly eat isn’t really processed or high in red meat

It was but people took it way to far

I want damn near every off white shoe, im just now getting to the point of having money and prices about to sky rocket

I think it’s caused by chemical exposure

selling out is part and parcel with directly working for someone who is top 5 richest in the world. in the end he sold off white off and didnt leave his family the company. he made the choices that he though he was best, and that wise navigation brought him to the forefront of global culture.

he's done a lot and will be remembered not only as a trailblazer but also an educator. a large part of his personal brand was giving away "free game." but it is a game and he was down to play ball.

Kinda similar to th4 akbum cover for A by Usher which virgil also did

of course, im not saying anything negative about that move at all. his family set for multiple generations.
