Yeah I think the most interesting thing about the pieces I've seen from Season 1 & 2 is probably a lot of people's least favorite thing about them, which is that for the most part, they resemble much cheaper pieces that are (& have been for a long time) available in other contexts, like army navy surplus stores and whatnot. Sure, you can view it as Kanye just co-opting a bunch of styles and overcharging for them, but you could also look at it as him democratizing his little sliver of high fashion. You could go buy a $10 rothco camo t from your local surplus store and people would easily look at it thinking it's from the Yeezy line. You could put most of the looks from his shows together for a couple hundred bucks if you know what to look for.

Oh without question

But people don't want the look

They want the label that bares Kanye west name

The look is secondary in this aspect sadly
 
Minus the APC X Ye hoody, my fit costs:

Gap product red parka - $60
John Elliott tee- copped on sale so def under retail
hm sweats - 20
J crew shorts - 6, on sale lol
And
Nike SFB boots- $30 a NTer ooped me. Found them at Ross
 
Hell you could pull it off for less than $100 at my local surplus store. They have the sand combat boots for like $40.

They have a pretty ill vintage red camo bulletproof vest too, haha.
 
You think I'll have time to think about the 950s or gonna end up paying resale after tomorrow?

We need to make a thrift shop thread
 
I'm shooting for the chocolate browns or black pirates. Wish they did the app release for them instead of webpage.

You could recreate the entire Season 1 set for less than that bomber. It's ridiculous.
 
The 950 and backpack  will resale even if only for $200 profit dudes are going to have bots/back door links ready and loaded.
