A$AP did not put Palace on the map or revive Bape. He merely rode those waves like everybody else. I agree with you on everything else tho.

How did he not put palace on the map? Other than skaters or Euros no one else was wearing it..

So Rihanna, Drake and Jay z wearing it only after Rocky started wearing it doesn't mean he influenced?

If you actually skate you tend to know these things before the people who hopped on it because so and so was wearing it. Rihanna Drake and Jay have always been trend hoppers

They always knew what Bape was. Everything has an expiration date and finds itself back into rotation.

No different than women with natural hair. Or black men rocking bright colors, scurls, and classic sneakers like converse

Roundtwo in LA sells palace. But they usually buy it off someone or sell it for them.

skater culture knew about palace for a year or two before Rocky started wearing it. Ian Connor was wearing palace before Rocky. Get off that man nuts he didn't put shyt on the map

Wtf is your point? Skaters knew about supreme before hype beasts did Too?????! So I could use that same exact argument to shut down you saying OF made supreme into hype beast gear. You're being very inconsistent with your argument..

Lol like a dude rockin palace in front of hundreds of thousands of people and in videos with millions of views had no affect vs the small subculture of skating..

Like hype beasts and "IG thots" are wearing it cause they saw some pot head skater with shoe laces as a belt wear it :mjlol:

Skating culture is not bigger than hip hop lol

He didn't put anything on the map yet I provided examples???? Lol Rihanna is regarded as one of the most influential women fashion wise and she started wearing it cause of him. Stop being obtuse as fukk and inconsistent.

You clearly don't understand what "starting a trend" means. People in Japan were wearing bape before Pharell but does that mean he didn't start that trend outside that market?
