How do we all hate carumia so much but supreme gets A pass ?
I dislike both but how are they even in the same league of shit?
I’ll take the shitty shoe company , who are paying a bunch of skaters to skate , over the elitism , over priced , overhyped skate fashion brand. Even if they have good skaters on the team.
You do realize Supreme started as a skate shop right ?
McDonald's started as one location. Doesn't mean a ton.
Supreme is owned by a giant corporation larger than Cariuma's backing. At this point Supremes got as much connection to it's origin as a skate shop as any other major corporation has to is roots 30 years on. It's a soulless vessel of Capitalism only accountable to it's investors and profits.
I don't say that to excuse Cariuma nor discredit any of Supremes contributions to skateboarding, but come on.
Anyone who legitimately buys Supreme products is a bit sad, don't you think? Weird brand fetishizing. Anyone who buys something as a status symbol really gives me a giant red flag about that person's values and how comfortable they feel in their own skin.
Say what you will about Cariuma (and it will all be legitimate critique) but at least they aren't selling $50 t shirts and $150 hoodies like I am looking at on Supremes website right now.
Edit: lol looked at Cariuma's website and their t shirts go up to $45. Who the fuck would buy that lol...
