I hear you. I know the history behind who did the jacket and the whole DBoy, BBoy background.
Knowing that doesn't make it more reasonable/attractive, or less silly to me though.
Personally, I'd value a nice clean SL denim jacket FAR more than one with that weak, childish airbrush imagery.
Hell, I'd take a plain Levis trucker over that painted SL one.
It's all subjective man. I'm not knocking him or the history.
I actually think it's a smart move, considering his career and Crack Rap image but does it look GOOD to ME? Nope.
Also, very different from the Buck50 that DonC mimicked.
I say 'mimicked" because Don makes hats with snakeskin bills and straps- Clearly inspired by Buck50's but Buck50's had to have that front design.
That's whats made them what they were. Typically a blinged out (middle of the mall looking) watch face over a winged design in a matching exotic skin.
Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, I know those all too well.
Creating a JustDon hat doesn't deface a high end piece in the process. It actually does the opposite and brings high end elements to an otherwise street style hat. Hence, why there's far less backlash in that case. Nothing is being "ruined"
But I would never buy one of those either.
