PSA: Just because Macy's carries Sean John doesn't mean it's in style
All that damn floor space that section takes up, somebody is buying it so it cant be "faded out".
What year did Sean John and Rocawear fade out??

All of that high end fashion didn't start popping until super recently. And I don't think it will last because I don't believe the average minority in America can afford a whole wardrobe of nothing but Gucci, Balenciaga, Moncler etc. so you're gonna have a proliferation of fake shyt and counterfeit shyt always destroys fashion trends. And nothing is more tacky than fake Gucci. What is more stereotypically bammerish than wearing head to toe fake Gucci? Fake Mitchell and Ness jerseys killed throwbacks in the early to mid 2000's. Fake Bape killed Bape in the mid to late 2000's. In the early 2010's, it was still all Ralph everything. Wale and Curren$y brought the throwback jerseys back this decade too. Being a sneakerhead went mainstream this decade too because back in the early to mid 2000's, people still had basic ass shoe game of butter Timberlands and all white or all black Air Force 1's and like one or two pairs of Jordan's. I didn't start to see people wearing Gucci t shirts and matching shoes until this summer. That's such an 80's concept to begin with.
whenever the boutique brands started to pop which was 05-and up

This will always be a classic:
would wear it today if the cut was better.
Had the long sleeve version of that and it was one of my "go to" shirts.
Good times
a)It barely takes up any floor space. Polo, Nike, Levi's, Nautica and others have bigger sections than SJ, and in prime locations. Guarantee that SJ isn't the first thing you see when walking into the Men's dept.
b) Of course people buy it; all I said is that it's not in style. How many people do you really see rocking SJ on a daily basis?
I'm not getting at people who wear it. I honestly couldn't care less
. I'm just saying that it's not "in style" like it used to be

In more than a couple malls in Atlanta the Sean John section is larger than the Nautica, Tommy, and Izod sections. And I'm not talking about the hood malls. In Lenox Mall that shyt is on two of the three floors in the men's section.
I have a Sean Jean jacket from like 2008 that I didn't let go until last year, it didn't say Sean Jean on it, just had a crest on the lappel. It was probably my favorite piece of clothing, I could wear it with everything. That and a Ecko hoodie are the last piece of 00's street wear I was still holding onto.
I had 1 off pieces from a lot of brands I held on for way too long. I had a Ill Phat Farm snorkel coat I kept for 10 years. I also had an Esco wool sweater I def kept for 10 years at least. My son actually wears my throwback jerseys now, I only had a couple tho.

Interesting. Maybe its location based because the malls up this way (DMV) have pretty small SJ sections from what I've seen.

Thats cool tho breh, cause y'all bamas down there.
Up in the northeast, SJ ain't really getting no play.
Nordstrom n Lord n Taylor>>>>> Macys.
Can't remember the last time i went in one of those.
General public ain't hitting Nordstrom and Neiman like that. So if we talking higher end then OK, that's different. The average consumer is at Macy's more often than those.
Depends cause around 06 07 a lot of Nikkas I knew from Harlem had the patten leather prada shoes and the Gucci shoes as well.
Fake as hell but Nikkas were rockin them

please see below
People were still buying it back then.
nikkas dont fukk with big logo shyt like that no more B
You can't rock another mans emblem on your ass and chest and take the 1-2-3-4-5-6 or A-B-C-D train past 96th street B
Naw but for real you take the logos off and the clothes are mostly garbageBrands got over on nikkas for so long
Just No! Brands and logos are all a wave now and has been for a minute. It’s the reason why Adidas, Tommy, Guess and CK are so popping right
It’s also why Gucci has a stranglehold on the designer clothes
It’s also why Supreme, Off White and others demand is at a fever pitch
