Just a FYI:

Miami’s collab w/ Adidas’ FOG lent us 3 items:
-Hoodie
-Mint Green Shoes
-Jersey

Travis Scott’s collab has already produced more in a shorter period of time. Also, yes the price point is high for the avg. consumer, but not the hype beast. By comparison, if u look up Fear Of God Miami Hoodie, u will see it reselling at $396. Now I believe @TheOriginalCane purchased one at retail, so I would be interested to see how much that was, b/c all of Adidas’ FOG hoodies are at around that same price, retail.

Just wanted to provide perspective, but I agree w/ the overall assessment. I’m not a hype beast so I won’t be purchasing.

A hoodie is only as cool as the person rocking it. I’m not really a clothes guy, I’m a sneaker head. I wear a ton of suits, sports coats, trench coats etc for business purposes, but my jeans, T’s, hoodies, sweaters, etc. I’m getting them on the low fa sho. However, b/c my feet stay w/ heat, including dress shoes, it makes a $10 t-shirt from Walmart look like it’s $90.

I refuse to buy overpriced clothes b/c after a couple of washes or dry cleaning it looks dim. Plus we all go through likes & dislikes and those jawns get sent out to the Goodwill etc. Give me shoes & hats & I’ll make anything look good.

Yeah for sure, for sure. We were talking about it in another thread. Definitely super comfortable & still looks great on foot, too.

I'm not in the Travis Scott demo, so I feel comfortable saying that stuff looks silly as ****. Then again, I'm not a hypebeast looking to buy apparel just to resell later, so the entire Cactus Jack project doesn't appeal to me. To each their own.

I'm no fan of Travis Scott. I just watched him on SNL this weekend, and his music is terrible. He sounds like Auto-Tony making a pizza order on a Stern Show phony phone call. The rap game has truly gone backwards from the days when PE and NWA and Ice-T were actually writing important lyrics and spitting them in a compelling and powerful way.

Having said that, I'm fine with streetwear fashion concepts. I'm not a hypebeast, I'm not looking to resell. I liked the simplicity and quality of Fear of God, though I didn't like the colors or price as much. And I'm fine with the Cactus Jack stuff being different; I like having stuff that is not just "the same" as anything you can buy in the UM Bookstore. But I'm not sure that the Cactus Jack stuff was much different from what Dyme Lyfe does for half the price.

The only Cactus Jack item that actually appealed to me was the hat. Everything else was not that impressive, though I'm sure that the younger crowd may feel differently.
