It is.
I think - and I would agree - that RL probably took the position that any legal action would only bring more attention to the Pyrex brand. ...Like how Nas or Jay won't respond to anybody not on their own level.
Kanye and Abloh (or whatever duke's name is) getting sued by RL would have been the best free promotion Pyrex could have received.

Most definitely. Still a damn shame though.
No originality. Blatantly took another mans product and screen printed numbers on the back. Whats worse is, th shirts had higher quality details until they unstitched them
for $80 ($35 sale price) a shirt, they could have made their own flannels and been legit.
But I guess you can't teach a copycat how to be real

If someone really wanted that garbage, they could just buy the original shirt and get Pyrex screen-printed on it and it would be cheaper.

You cant knock Pyrex Vision Hustle
I beg to differ.
Don't glorify the theft of intellectual property as a "hustle."
They took an authentic item, stripped original details, and then altered it devoid of creativity in order to increase its market value.
Sounds like Lu's playbook :x. ...Should we not be knocking his hustle either?

You can ....lol, but you will have to have some type of hype behind you and next thing you know ...boom...you're a millionaire.

BIP don't even bother with these internet hustlers. Let them come up with an IP, have some crooks steal it and SUCCESSFULLY resell it for a higher price while adding nothing of value to it.

Wouldn't have made a difference if YOU or I thought of it though... unless you have an army of Stans and posers willing to buy $40 tube socks and $550 flannels on command.
Don't get me wrong - I'm glad that those who are getting duped by this foolishness are getting duped. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Point is these dudes could have cashed on their cache without turning a fashion crime into an actual crime.
But, they way I prefer to look at is is that no matter what these kids in those flannels think they are doing, they are all still just jocking my melo Ralph Lipschitz!
...And, Judge Wapner sill be styling on 'em.

funny thing is, i know a dude on IG who's bootlegging the pyrex shirts and selling them for a fraction of the cost...
he even hashtags pyrex, and has @ed virgil b4 on other stuff... so ya know virgil prolly sees it... but what's he gonna do about it when he's jacking stuff too?

nike should've kept making Vince carter's kicks...when those VC III's dropped those were hood classics..they started off slow but
i got wise to em eventually, and so did everyone else..ahh i remember those all star ones..and i picked up da toronto exclusive all purple
joints.
da VC IV's were trash though...how you follow da classic VC III's with this crap?
da VC V's were a redemption, but i remember da samples had white shox which made em look DOPE
VC requested lower profile kicks after his injury plagued seasons with the VC IIs and IIIs, hence the lower profile Shox columns and forefoot Zoom. I DO agree that the IV and V were not even on the same level as the II and III in the DESIGN dept but he did have a resurgence in his career with the IV and V.
I have 3 pairs of VCIIIs - dope shoe to rock casually but a little dangerous on the court due to their ability to roll over HARD.

They get props for marketing it right and making it profitable. I could give two sh&^s about someone ripping off Ralph Lauren. He never gave me anything for free. I am not sure that it is illegal though. Supreme just did the same thing with an unauthorized Rolex Submariner.
Thanks for believing in me, bro.

I was thinking the samething when i seen the desgined lol.... I was wondering does he have anything to authenticate his screen print rippoffs? Like tags, does anyone know?
Because it would be easily to do if you have the resources.

Orchard Street did that too... right?
I wasn't upset that they jacked Ralphie, I'm just saying even when Kanye thinks he's winning, Ralphie is winning too.
Me, on the other hand, I've gotten a lot of Ralph Lauren items for free.

I don't know what Orchard Street is, but I don't think that Blackie will ever stop winning.
