Man, this is the wrong hobby if you want low mark-ups on material cost.Silver cost $23 an ounce, soften the blow my ***.
It's cool to see what street wear has grown into and it's forced acceptance into mainstream America however the underground / cool element is definitely lacking with some of these collabs.
I see your point about Nike but Nike SB was definitely more of an underground scene. Hell sneaker collecting in masse wasn't nearly as mainstream even in the mid 2000s.Not trying to pick in you because I see this sentiment a lot. It’s just hard for me to wrap my head around Nike being some kind of underground brand.
Like, I get that the streetwear scene re-imagined what Beaverton was putting out, but from the very start Nike was their to capitalize and market to the “underground”

The brands that Nike specifically Nike Sb chose to Collab with were still up and coming during that era. Most people weren't super hip to Diamond, Stussy, HUF etc back then.
The collabs were mutually beneficial to both Nike and those streetwear brands.

Best fit I've seen with these bro. Good form.
Stussy is interesting, it predates most of the more well known streetwear brands of today and although it deserves it's acknowledgement one could argue it's never hit the same level of hype as other brands that have since come and gone.Thanks for clarifying. That definitely makes more sense than how I was thinking about it. Basically: SB acted a bit like an incubator for these brands.
Only thing I’d object to is the idea of Stussy as an underground brand in the mid 00’s. Dudes were rocking that gear (with Vision and Airwalks) when I started in high school in ‘90. I’ll take you word on Diamond and HUF since I’m only barely aware of their existence.
For sure. Stussy was already kind of popular, at least in So Cal even in 1990… They had actually opened their own store here in Tokyo in 1989 (really tiny store, but it was the first Stussy only store in the world located just 10 min away from my house) and I bought some shorts there.Only thing I’d object to is the idea of Stussy as an underground brand in the mid 00’s.
