I actually met Alex Olson at Labor skate shop last year. He was talking about it. this was around the time thaatthey were doing the phone sex ad boards.
i got a jacket with the pointman characters on itsome of the best BAPE pieces ever made....
some of this might be ahead of your time.
Unkle was/is.DJ.shadow and.James.Lavelle. Shadow even shouted.out "nigo from nowhere" on Endtroducingnin the linernnotes.Nigo would also DJ from time to time.
Human made is so pricey though. I.jnderstand Nigo's price.point for quality and craftsman ship...but I.was hoping for more from him..Rehashing late 20th Americana is redunant.If you over 21 and wearing supreme or streetwear you lost . Corny hypebeast ruined that brand after 2011.
And as far as bape, since nigo left most of the designs have been trash but they have a few fire pieces here and there. The quality has taken a nose dive outside of the 1k+ goretex jackets.
I fukk with human made now, quality craftsmanship and subtle.
I.still.have a pair.of.futura.laboratory jeans..i got them.for 30. They were.originally 246.i got a jacket with the pointman characters on it
its futura laboratories tho not bape (i dont even think futura laboratories exists anymore)
but to answer the thread imma go with supreme
Undercover has some.good stuff still. Jun Takahashi still knows what he's doing.Mastermind & Undercover tees tho
Fragment/Neigborhood/Wtaps

Supreme makes some nice.pieces.especially im.the sut and.sew.category. the problem.is.the.price.range.is.out of reach for your average preme shopper who.just buys a.five panel and.a.t-shirt.supreme is the new polo ralph lauren for young nikkas.
just like nikkas were super heavy into polo in the 80's and 90's. that's what supreme is for young dudes in the 2000's and 2010's.
shyt, you still have dudes 40+ years old still rockin polo. you can pull of supreme in your 30's, if you know how to wear it right. like @Sagat said, no pieces with profanity or sexually explicit images, or box logos everywhere. just the subtle stuff with little to no branding.
there's a lot of clowns who obsess over supreme that kinda makes you not wanna rep it anymore, but then again you go clowns who rock retro jordans or drive bmw's, and people stick fukk with those brands
Visvim is 100% quality though..All.sticthed by hand. using only the finest materials..there's.a reason why Visvim continues to grow in popularity.dont forget about visvim too.
