    can't 100% hate on the guy. he's been hustling all this years. so whatever he has he deserves in my opinion. I'm not a fan of all his shit, strongly dislike the logo he prints on the back of most his clothes mainly because that's what hypebeast wear now a days but I do own a couple more lowkey off white pieces and admire the guy for rising to the top in a saturated market

      i dislike it because i just don't like the design he uses on the back of most of his pieces... doesn't matter if its the most popular brand out there or not. Also is all hypebeasts wear from him and I don't like dressing like a hypebeast so I stay away from hype pieces. Like i said, i own lowkey pieces from off white like his nebraska t shirt and his poem jeans

    • @brandond8243
      @brandond8243 6 лет назад +8

      So just because a bunch of “hypebeast” wear something you stay away? And i know you don’t really care for the design. But saying you don’t fuck with a certain brand or anything at all because a certain group of people wear it is wack bro. If you really like something, get it. Who cares because these douches wear it for the hype? Mostly everyone now is a hype beast anyway so what’s the sense. Just don’t wear supreme and bape and yeezys all at once lmao.

    • @notnoternexto
      @notnoternexto 6 лет назад +17

      Brandon Russian I'm not like that, I got into supreme 3 years ago when I was able to afford it because nobody was wearing it where I lived. Two years later I saw guys wearing it everyday, I'm trying to be different when it comes to how I dress not the same as others. Like I said I own off white because I support Virgil but I'm specific when it comes to what I get, the hype stuff just doesn't catch my attention which is mainly influenced by all the cringe hypebeasts I encounter on Instagram and where I live so I rather get something that's not as hype or hype at all.

    • @YourSideHoe
      @YourSideHoe 6 лет назад +2

      Exactly me, I stay away from hypebeast pieces unless I really like the design (like the screaming girl). And I do rly appreciate and mostly own other pieces like circle chirico, surrealism door & boat, and for all capsule.
      To put you into perspective, fashion supposed to express yourself thru the way you dress, if u end up like anyone else, what is fashion even anyway? That’s why I really like off-white as a brand and stay away from what hypebeasts wear cos it say “look I got expensive t-shirt” and that’s wacky mindset, not “fashion”

But some people just buy these expensive branded things just to show off even tho theyre gonna be broke af. rich people dont mind the price of these things. that's why he keeps on making it.

It seems as though his connections proved to assist him enough to get his designs on high profile celebs which boosted his brand. And yet I still ask myself, what did he really do?
