I'm really starting to hate these sneaker-style product launches RL has adopted this year.
I won't buy any ralph palace or supreme stuff.. But I don't care if they try stuff out. I don't have to buy it, and I don't care if polo gets more or less popular...
For many of us, anyone outside of new york certainly, polo hasnt ever been hip/popular.. Alot of the stuff folks love now was stuff I grabbed at Marshall field's in the 90s off the clearance rack.
99% of this stuff is future ebay/ good will. The original ski92 sat at the Burlington coat factory that was on park place a block over from tent & trails (now closed ) by the World Trade Center on the racks for $80 till it went down to $30. Coat sat for so long it was dust on them.Two full racks of dusty ugly *** coats that for some reason is the cats meow now. If it wasn’t for the “hype beast” supreme/street wear crowd none of these fake retros would even be made. Nothing wrong w/ getting new blood in a company to give it a boost but when that new blood has no clue about legacy that’s when imo it’s a problem. All this to me is cheapening what made rl appealing in the first place. I never in my life needed a app,wristband,ticket,stand in line or any other stupid gimmick to get clothes.
