Less people dropping fashion video essays

Less suburbans into streetwear and workwear

I miss the niche that streetwear sneakers etc used to exist in.

It used to signal that you cared about culture and something deeper

affordability

release culture. I'm sure it still exists somewhat but it used to feel like a huge community wide moment whenever there was a hyped sneaker dropping or box logo week or whatever. even if I wasn't interested in whatever was dropping it still fun to see everyone else hyped and sharing their success or failure. these things just come and go now and leave no impression at all

When it wasn’t all about how much something costs

I don’t care that your Levi’s with crosses cost 10k. My aw09 Dior look better

I miss when this forum didnt suck

yep

And I hate that it can't be put back in the box lol

Something changed around 2015-2017

Yeah def the blessing and curse of ye and virgil.

Was amazing to see them change the world in real time while bringing streetwear to the global stage, but it became too diluted and watered down due to that exposure

Hoping things can become more authentic again offline somehow

supreme x louis vuitton was the absolute final nail in the coffin. after that it was open season for any loser to spend money to try to cultivate an image

style wars 2026 coming soon..

rick owens and chrome hearts killed hip hop

Fashion is my passion. Can't say too much cause all the NDAs

I'm just saying if you see the T-Mac 5s come back in style.....
Chaotic Benny was on the case

Was literally typing this as I read your reply lol

the 9/11 of fashion if you will

makes me miss what the cease and desist bootleg collab did for the culture way back

any semblance of idiosyncrasy

When all you needed was a fresh white tee and some clean af1s.
