So what's with mid-level streetwear brands like Supreme and Obey slowly trying to pretend they are high-end fashion?
They change their original cheap swag-esque streetwear high school styles to be a bit more casual and mature, but not by much, and don't change the quality of their garments at all and begin to charge twice if not more as much as before and make their websites shitty pretentious low-res webpages to seem luxury
Do they know that we all remember where they came from? Seriously they can;t be fooling us.

Its funny because Supreme was a Skateboarding clothing brand now its for trendy teenagers. Sad to see it happening to Palace also

Don't under estimate Shepard Fairey's ability to jump on current trends and steal from others in order for him to make a quick buck. He's pretty much a cunt tbh.

Yes, they still are a skate brand, but mostly they are a "NY street culture" brand.

They wouldn't be doing photoshoots with Lady Gaga, Yankees collabs or Timbs otherwise.

Dude that's an awesome question
The founder of Mishka was interviewed and that exact topic came up
When designers get older their tastes change; and they know that their costumers are aging too
So it's a natural progression, leading toward Barbour jackets and polo shirts
