Supreme Spring/Summer 2010 preview

[josebronx]

but foams already cost $200 tho

That tee was 32. It just happens to resell for more. Like royal foams sell for 500 when they were retailed at 200. I recently sold a pair fruity pebbles for 1375 shipped on ebay and it cost me about 2 pairs of foams. The lebron 4 retailed at what 160-200 at most and went for that much. It didn't have any superior technology, same shoe, just a different colorway. It's the supply that causes prices to skyrocket. Why do people pay more for lv or gucci, yeah sure they quality is much better, but not that much better to what they charging. It's branding and supreme has done it very well where they can demand crazy prices and get it. There is no reason someone should pay 200 dollars for a pair of shoes or 40 dollars for a tee, but yet they do. You can't argue about something you are guilty of doing, in this case overpaying. It makes you a hypocrite.

btw, somebody put me onto making knockoffs/screenprints of the same crap?

Yeah a lot of you are getting confused with Supreme's Retail Price and what Re-Sellers charge. For the most part their prices are good, once in a while their collabo's are $$$.

For the record I have never bought a single piece from Supreme in my life, had some beef with a couple dudes in there back in the day, but I would if I actually ever like anything. And Supreme has no product that is "reasonably" priced.

Define reasonably priced? Sick of all these subjective statements with no factual backing on NT lately.

Ugh the price comparrison. If you think like that, you will starve and be nude. Everything is cheaper to make so that people can make money. Supreme is no different from any other clothing brand. Cost nothing to make and charges people crazy money. You buy what you like, don't let anybody tell you different.


Who in the world defines what is reasonable? Buy what the hell you want. The same people making these unproven statements with no substance are the ones doing everything they are against. It's fine for you to buy 150 dollar jeans, but its a sin to get a 30 dollar tee shirt? I'll say it once more so they get the point, buy whatever you want.
