10 reasons why Ms. Clavel Sneaker Magazine still sucks.
1. Progress Ad. What in the world is Progress? Same company behind the DIONISIA KNOWS t-shirt? What a waste of ad space. Find a client who will actually pay for pages and stop hyping yourselves up.
The people who run the magazine have already been exposed as frauds by the same people who used to work for them.
2. Air Carnivore was named "vegetarian sneakers." How stupid. If it is a joke then it's one hell of a stupid joke. Even gradeschoolers know carnivore =/= vegetarian.
3. Wong feature. Couldn't the magazine have picked a WORSE photo? Please turn on your sarcasm detector.
4. Trash it or keep it by Commune. They all gave the Air Carnivore a thumbs down. Why even ask a bunch of young hypebeast hipsters their opinions on a shoe with a cult following? That's like asking Air Jordan fanatics' take on Supra TK.
5. Wale on the cover. He's a rapper alright but he's also member of this community and even here he can't get no damn respect.
6. Half naked women and sneakers. Aren't people tired of this yet? I know I am.
7. Jinri Park. Isn't the name Park Korean? Why make it appear like she's Japanese and flood the photos with Japanese snacks? Who thinks of such a literal and shallow concept?
8. The endless lifting of online materials.
9. Shouldn't the editorial team provide new or upcoming sneaker news instead of past materials which take up most of the pages? If other mags can do it, why can't Ms. Clavel?
10. The price. It takes less than 10 minutes to read the magazine from cover to cover and another 10 seconds to realize how stupid it is. The magazine and its staff are truly a disgrace to the sneaker scene and the publishing industry. This shouldn't be even called a magazine. Tabloid maybe? But then tabloids may be stupid but most of them are entertaining. This magazine is not.
The magazine's name should be changed to Miss Clavel because it is way off target.
