 I believe the Lee's fairly recently got their rights back and started going after people more aggressively for even resemblance. While also growing the brand. Licensed merch is wild, especially if your Brand is a person. Bob Ross's son had to fight for his dads' image. Imagine some asshole not only making fucking chia pets of your dad's head, but legally trying to stop you from calling yourself "Bob Ross's Son" in public.

Agree, and who's more wack? the Bruce Lee estate, or all the companies still lining up to do collabs with them?  Can't blame one and not the other.

I very much blame both equally. I don't even know what's to gain from doing a Bruce Lee collab in 2022. Celebrating 50 years since he died? Kinda weird. Watched his movies a bunch when I was a kid but aren't really my cup of tea now (but I'm a whitey) I'm a Jackie Chan guy. Bruce is too serious it's like Segal or Norris but he is actually good so no fun from watching some complete horseshit.

they need to just give him his own shoe. TJ's carrying that entire brand on his back.

This.
Let him design a shoe, put his name on it, charge a few bucks more for it and that’s the royalty he gets. Why is so hard for them to do this. Instead they’ll swap panels from 13 different shoes together with an old sole design and have some atrocious colorway.

I brought this exact thing up before with some dudes being in colorway purgatory vs some getting their own shoes. Someone like Nakel getting colorway after colorway after colorway yet never getting a shoe, or andrew allen getting constant colorways but never his own shoe, but then seeing Tyshawn Jones or Rowan getting their own shoes with maybe one colorway of theirs coming out before their own models, and many said it's because they dont want to invest into them to that level to give them their own models vs colorways are something that make them feel included without spending to design a shoe from the ground up.

But I agree TJ has long deserved his own shoe. He is both tech and can huck down shit so for him to have a shoe that can cater to both of those aspects and be durable could do very well, as long as it aesthetically is pleasing. but with how much Es isnt willing to invest in 1:1 remakes that people have been demanding but instead remaking the upper but using soles already in the line up to cut corners and save money, im not surprised TJ is only getting his own colorway vs pro shoe. Less spend on designing a shoe that would have to go through the sampling process, more just in getting different colors with existing designs to have TJ feel "special" with his own colorway and still profit off it, win win for Es.

Basquiat, Warhol, Lee, Haring are the worst offenders in recent memory. Basquiat had converse, DC, and Dr martens all putting out mediocre collabs. It's just laughable how collaborative efforts are so plainly a cash grab nowadays. One of my favorite non skate sneaker companies (Asics) whored themselves out to a popular fashion designer (Kiko) who did a few good designs for them, and now his design studio dominates Asics' releases. Not to mention all of these mentioned collabs hit the bargain bin and still are sitting.

There must be money in it.

according the vans subreddit, the some of these special release days can get hectic. I'd love to see the sales data for stuff like this and how much it moves the needle. That bob's burger DC release was the worst.

Worse than halo globes? I'm surprised that shoe companies aren't trying to do a Collab with crash Bandicoot, Super Mario, sonic the hedgehog etc so the character wears the shoe in the game but you can buy the shoes in real life too. Or it's been done and I'm not paying enough attention.

Here's how id personally change this ever so slightly:

Put the nine club logo on the top of the toe so you have to see it every time you look down and it wont be worn off so easily. put "dud" before the "Es" on the sole since that's Kelly's word of choice, and it's done.
