Every collab between skate and non-skate companies - "Fucking sellout kooks"
Palace collab with non-skate company - "Oh, how wonderful! Good for them!"
I'm so happy the company that charges $80 for a re-labeled cotton Gilden t-shirt finally has an opportunity to make some money!
Get a load of this guy thinking our fakie lord and savior Daniel Brady doesn’t deserve that bag.
I’m an aging crust punk who wouldn’t be caught dead rocking Palace gear but you’re tripping if you don’t think they crush it time and time again. This is skateboarders milking big industry while still maintaining core credibility because they’re all just skaterats at the end of the day.
It's funny because some fashion snobs I work with would say Gucci are selling out by collabing with Palace haha. The fact of the matter is that Gucci need Palace's youthful audience more than the other way around, else they just wouldn't do it... Same with 90% of the collabs they do. And the way these guys market it is like they're just a bunch of blokes who've won a competition.
The biggest selling out happens when Girl, Lakai and Habitat do outrageously cringe and hollow collabs with things like Hello Kitty and Bob's burgers on the off chance that super fans of these things will shell out for some cheaply made tat to go with their collection which makes the company some money.
The biggest Kook shit is when the owners and riders are lying that they fuck with this insanely cringe shit to get the bag.
Palace collab with brands, musicians and drinks that they actually fuck with.
