those LV sneakers are awesome in a really trashy sort of way, but those other lowtops are scary bad

I read this interview a while ago. Great stuff. Dapper Dan was the legend.. We can only assume, what was going on in his boutique in the 80s..

Well one thing was documented.. Mitch Green was KOed by Tyson in the Dans boutique.



Sorry for offtopic.

Was buying a bunch of Uniqlo for my girls and threw in these (PBJ collab)for me. Exciting times.

p.s.- Uniqlo's mobile site sucks. It doesn't display anything as out of stock, and then I couldn't place an order because some items were out of stock, but it wouldn't show which ones.

"Pure Blue" Uniqlo items are not actually a collab with PBJ

How is this not a trademark infringement suit already?

Well, call me a sucker, then.

"Dear all,

Since yesterday, we have been receiving many inquiries from different parts of the world regarding UNIQLO's pure blue collection.

Please be informed that we do not have business relationship with UNIQLO, and we are not involved with their project or production in any way.

We appologize for the confusion.

Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards, Kozue Tamura"

The phrase "pure blue" would be hard to trademark in any context. Also, one company is huge, the other, tiny.

IDK I've seen some pretty nuttily generic stuff approved for trademarks. According to the internet PBJ actually is trademarked in Japan but not in the U.S. -- they operate internationally as Syoaiya Ltd. I don't know if they applied for TM in the States and were denied or they just never bothered to apply for one, but Uniqlo's PBJ release was U.S.-only, which would at least hint at them being aware of the potential confusion.

u know regis, u should really contact the owner/designer of MMM and tell him how much u admire his work and clothing, that u almost literally have every single piece of it and wear it every damn day. he might just give a rep for certain deals or something.

go do it.

Ah, yes, contacting the people at Margiela. Why did I not think of that?
