The Problem with “Streetwear”
1. This stupid song about vans. It’s worse than the nelly one. Now instead of over hyped forces, there is a way increased demand for Vans. It’s gross. Cabs and Mountains are more than just shoes, they are people. but most people just want the ones that kanye are wearing.
2. Creativity, there is none. wu tang , guns, skulls, chains, old nike ads repeat. over and over then all over print, camo, neon, doo doo,all of it.
3. Collaborations, why does the Hundreds have to make a shirt with Huf then have neckface draw on it and let Futura spit on it. why? is everyone sharing the same brain? check #2 for more evidence.
4. Why is a streetwear tshirt at least 35 bucks? you can buy the same quality tshirt and get 7 of em without any design. Also hoody prices, i cant even mention how disgusting they are priced.
5. Limited Edition Sneakers- new era and dc shoes have a limited edtion shoe coming out. it was in the ny post about the high price these sneakers carry. Why not just make more than a couple hundred? i cant understand why people buy limited shoes over and over just because they are limited.
so basically i’m giving up on all of these things. i’m going to sit on the sideline and let the fads pass.

September 18, 2006 — SNEAKERHEADS are in for a finger-licking good time at Puma’s SoHo store. This week, the trendy shoe company is cooking up a new line of do-it-yourself sneakers called the “Mongolian Shoe Barbeque.” For $130, and by appointment only, customers can mix and match 20 different parts of a shoe with the help of a “sneaker chef” such as Shauna Walker. Everything from the laces to the logo can be altered with different fabrics and colors to make your perfect pair.
Other companies like Nike and Adidas offer customization components to their sneakers already - Nike has the super-exclusive, by-invite-only ID studio on Elizabeth Street, and Adidas recently launched Adicolor, available on its Web site. But Puma’s is the first in-store service available to anyone - though it’s only for a limited time, while the company tests how well it works.
Sneakers, however, aren’t the only thing you can have made to order. Why not customize your entire life, by having candy, stationery, jeans and jewelry created to your exact specifications? You’re one of a kind - these services let you make sure of it.
