Around Dec I said I can forsee RL
retroing pieces, if he hasn't already done so.
I saw it coming with the vote of the Teddy.
I dont think the enthusiats would approve.
RL has been retroing many of the understated Items for years, and 95% of the time the are better quality with better colorblocking. This year you will a handful of see items that were popular with the urban dem. resurface. The vote has already been finalized for the reintroduction of the Polo Bear Sweater. There will be lots of new Polo "collectors" "been-hads" and "flippers" springing up by end of the year.
Yeah, on the low, retro-ing has happened. There was the turtleneck version of the k-swiss eagle, right?
heaven help me.
Basically.
I don't know if y'all agree, but it's not the fact that classic pieces are retro-ing, per se, that gets me shaking my head in anticipation of the buffoonery, but as Superman said, it's that it's going to add fuel to the fire of the worst of the new age cats.
Saturation of retroed pieces is going to have a particular market lose it's value if you know what i mean and alot of people are not going to be too enthused about it.
I wonder if you'll see a lot of the dudes heavy into the 90s vintage stuff move toward the 80s stuff. I can definitely see them retroing stuff from the early to mid 90s, but I'd be surprised if they put out the 80s stuff.
All things considered, most of the "power pieces" will probably remain untouched, for whatever that's worth.
