Got the J1A they did and gutted I wasn't dialled in more to grab one of these when they dropped... Hoping I can eventually grab one on the aftermarket.
ah man, that sucks. I would keep half an eye on the mothersite though, I saw a few reappearing yesterday. And maybe they will sell on Kojima's site too. Dunno. Aftermarket might be harsh, quite some scalpers got a hold of these I bet...
I think it’s totally dope! But I’m not sad I missed on it. It’s one of those things I think will look amazing on other people, but I won’t pay that price. But totally another dope collab. I’m cool with my other ACRNM, but this is sick as hell. But living in California, I couldn’t justify buying it.
wb good to see you making videos again. This "gaming" jacket is a hard no though. At least the previous jacket fit felt unique , this one being a nice color but tiny text just makes it another color zzzz jacket. Feels like people are overhyping this cause the brand has been in such a slump for a while now. I mean if its just a matter of putting it in a game to have it sell then what's the point? To be fair I don't like the OG jacket either. I didnt notice the small differences from the regular model. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy my videos! I don't believe there is something like "overhyping". If something is "hyped", it just means that a lot of people like something. I really don't think it has anything to do with whether the brand is in a "slum" or not. People just like the jacket. It's not that deep 😉
@@AggaCityGang overhyping is an unfortunate byproduct of when the previous product was so poorly received that people are willing to overlook things to feel that sense of "this brand is good again". I respect the personal belief, but when I was using the term I was thinking of it in an entertainment product context which may not apply as directly to fashion. I did say "slump" not slum, which is something you pointed out in one of your other videos by just the fact that stuff is sitting. I didn't think it was that deep, and even though I like your videos I don't need the patronizing tone😉. It's a 1700$ jacket made relevant by the niche game that only some people have played and actually like the gameplay, yet when it drops its the best thing ever cause kojima. so its healthy to question what is perceived value vs what factors actually made it "liked".
@@deebee3867 I understand the point you are trying to make, but all those perceptions are so relative and subjective. Also a bit presumptuous in regards to the motivation of "people" to like something or not.
The jacket is pretty cool; kind of gives off astronaut space suit vibes. Personally prefer the black one in terms of a wearabilty standpoint; the all over orange is a little too loud, still nice though. I'm not sure how I can justify paying over 1300 Euros for the jacket, especially when it's not meant to be worn underneath a standard size jacket like the J1. I personally like the GTKP, the navy and black is a nice switch-up; the Kraft Single is a little off puttingly yellow though, wished it was a little more on the orange side like the J91 and baby capsule.
Well there's a ton of J1W's and other very wide Acronym shells now you could wear it under, so I don't think that is a valid point in the "justification" discussion. Also "justifying" buying any garment at that price point is a bit...If you can easily afford it and want it, you should, and if you don't, you should not. I think we shouldn't make it more complicated than that. Did you get the GTKP?
@AggaCityGang i agree with this take, it's wearability with another jacket and then bringing up the price shouldn't really be a reason you're buying into clothing that's thousands over dollars. It's stand alone value and considering it's usability with things that aren't jacket related would be more reasonable of thought because of its alrdy robust feature-set and it ALRDY being a jacket itself and a fairly insulated and warm one at that. My acg insulator comes to mind when I think of this thing just way less feature packed and can imo be warn as insulation without me thinking about it too much.
@@absencesilhouette8048 I think actually maybe this one is even a bit too "featured" to wear as an insulating layer under a shell. There are so many zippers and and pockets and things on the outside, it might be seen poking through a GTX shell, and/or even damaging it from the inside. I think it's "strength" is being a very unique looking water resistant, warm sci-fi looking jacket (the orange one especially). Covering it with a shell would even be kind of a shame, then you might as well just get some other way cheaper, unassuming insulator.
@@AggaCityGang I see your point about it being too feature rich to be worn as a insulating layer, there's obviously the normal J91 or J58 for that. TBH after initial thoughts, it's better to see the WSDB as a turnt up bomber jacket/puffer than an insulator. I understand your point on "If you like it and you can afford it, get it." though, a lot of people see it that way, and I too use to be like that, that's why I bought the GTKP years ago. But as I am now in my stage of fashion, I find that mindset a little too reckless. Maybe it's just fatigue from over consumption. Or maybe I'm just bitter that I can't YOLO buy the jacket, because I'm in the process of getting new camera equipment lol. Does it mean I won't get the jacket if it pops up on the grey market? Probably not, I still find the jacket cool and it would be nice to have both jackets in the collection even though I don't rep Kojima like that. I should clear out a few pieces before adding stuff into the closet though.
@@AggaCityGang i know is not exact replica but small font a hood and back zipper is not worth it IMO!... i do like the Orange colorway !! The j113 is the other tangerine color jacket... I think you like the model more then the jacket 😎👍 i like the jacket not the price
@@Gangreen167 Haha, well I think the very different, unique colour, the aquaguard zippers in contrasting colour, the sleeve pocket, the tension zip side pockets, the hood, the (contrast colour) zip-sling, the graphics and the black panels under the sleeves, all together make it a pretty different jacket. I mean, it's a J91, it's called a J91, but it's pretty different than the previous iteration. If you look at all the J1W's we've seen release and the minimal differences between them, this is definitely a step further. This is not just a J91-WS with different graphics on it. I mean, if you don't like the price that is fine, but it's not "just j91 at double the price".
I don't like the original j91 because of its paneling, and I actually like the pocket arrangement of the v91. The redesigned pattern on j91-WSDB with the v91 pocket arrangement basically eliminated all my complaints about the original j91. The use of reflective zippers adds a futuristic touch to the jacket and the insulated hood is also a huge bonus. So I ordered it without hesitation.
@@AggaCityGang Black. I didn't get the j1a-gtkp because I thought the yellow pocket in the middle was too eye-catching. The orange portion on the j91 feels much more acceptable to me.
I was a huge Kojima fan, but mgs 5 being heavily cut/censored and lacking any charm of the previous games, followed by death stranding, which was just unplayable, literally the worst gameplay as soon as you get past all the cool design aesthetics. Another thing that I wanted to mention to you after your last video, is that acronym has been pulled from all uk vendors. I’d be interested to know if it’s due to errolsons political posturing, or if it’s just a lack of success in the uk market.
I'm afraid I can't really say anything about the games, because as I've said, I am not a gamer and have played any of his games. Although...I might have played MGS1 at a friends house like waaay back then haha. Anyway what you're saying about the UK vendors, that is not true. I have read someone say this before, but Acronym is still available on several UK vendor sites. Or do you mean like "from now on"? As in they won't be buying new seasons? I doubt that it would have anything to do with his "political posturing". He's not Kanye. Most retailer buyers of Acronym probably don't even know who the designer behind those pieces is. Or care for that matter.
@@AggaCityGang You can see that nothing is moving and only when they hit deep sales people buy. The whole economy worldwide is so f'ed up right now even the luxury market which was kind of immune to financial hardships of the masses is taking big hits. Most retailers most likely will not be reordering Acronym. Its just so hard to sell purely online to people who know nothing about the brand.
@@comradedumkov9499 Totally, I see that too. I personally felt it in both ways. It was very hard to sell some of my pieces. But at the same time I have been finding amazing (used) deals on some older Acronym as well as Nikelab ACG, but also other designer stuff like Maison Margiela, Gucci, Valentino. If you are in the market for used designer, it's a real party now 😅
@@AggaCityGang I also have the feeling that the gradual price increase and differing style direction is making many og fans turn their back on the brand... just look at how dead the sufu forum has been the last few months... what do you think of the nike sling? i just think its atrocious the functionality is way inferior to the og sling while also making the back very busy... but yeah I see some amazing stuff online too but the EU import tax is brutal so im missing out on alot of 2nd hand acr from asia and america hahah
@@comradedumkov9499 I don't think "OG fans" are relevant for the (or any) brand to survive. Personally I think fan culture on the internet has grown to an absolutely terrible and insane situation in which "fans" feel entitled to demanding anything from brands/artists/makers etc. Fans are not entitled to anything. Creators create things, and consumers (which is what fans are) can either like and buy it or not. Good thing that Sufu is dead, it was one dark hole of negativity anyway. If you like something a lot, you are a fan, and if you stop like it, you just stop being a fan. Brands or Artists don't "need" to retain their fans, and certainly don't owe them anyhting. I really detest that notion. I very much support Doja's take it, don't know if you are familiar with what "happened" to her.
I love that Kojima modeled for it
IKR? Very very cool.
I'm glad it's a j91 so I'm not sad about not being able to afford it.
I'm glad you're not sad!
@@AggaCityGang you're the best, keep the commentary coming. Even if we're a bit salty sometimes with the new releases or pricing.
