LL Cool J promoting FUBU during a GAP commercial, might be the greatest branding coup.

[Ol’Otis]

There should be a thread on this

it is one

most of the shyt they sell is garbage
just a bunch of T-Shirts and hats

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

I don't remember seeing LL without a Fubu piece on from like 95-99 solid. Daymond John owes him a lot

I used to have the FUBU American jersey that was almost size 2XL

Such a blatant like that Donald Trump would be proud.

Damn bro you're really stupid huh?
I was gonna drop it but after reading that post i had to respond.
how hard is it to realize the public determines relevancy?
FUBU could last 1000 years if the people in society kept it popular off that time

Are you really incapable of abstracting a concept as simple as the trendyness of a clothing item? What's your occupation breh? I'm genuinely curious

How many black/urban brands are left? Between the mid 90s and mid 2000s, hip hop clothing was everywhere. Most of them have been sold off.

Pelle Pelle prolly the last urban brand left that still makes high quality products that are popular in urban locales (leather jackets only, not clothes). But Pelle leathers are only still popular in NYC, Chicago, Detroit and other random Midwest cities. Everywhere else, people act like Pelle is Fubu. Even if you got a brand new $900 Pelle with the freshest design, outside of NYC and the Midwest, nikkas will look at you like you a bama for wearing one. Pretty sad because I was in high school in the late 90's and early 2000's back when urban fashion peaked. There was no online shopping just yet and you had to go to a black mall to cop an Avirex leather, some Maurice Malone jeans and certain flavor or Timbs or Nike AF1s they didn't sell in suburban malls.

EAT clothing Home
DC always had our own black clothing lines just one of the reasons why we the goat black city

Please, DC promotes more cac owned clothing than local brands. Them local brands got gentrified out of existence except for Solbiato. Unless Helley Hansen is really a nikka from Benning Rd, G Star Raw was created by a nikka from Trinidad NE and Hugo Boss is from Uptown Peabody the same block as Wale back in the day.

nikka worth $250million and can't own up to what his company originally was for because it's pro-black

Just sad really

DC is the one place that has kept it really consistent with supporting up and coming, local black designers. Fukk you talking about?
