Well. I think to some extent it's mostly human nature to want to see things progress or evolve for the better. Altruistically it's optimism. Cynically... it's "Well, that was nice, but what have you done for me lately?"
You want to see new work and you want that new work to be better. It's why you look forward to a musicians next LP or a movie's sequel even when statistically those probably aren't going to be as good.
And in a non-quality hierarchical sense... but purely in terms of originator/derivator I think objectively a1923 has progressed their products steadily to the point where for me personally, and less objectively, the footwear is at least nicer.
I think if the trend continues this will less questionable after a few more seasons. Personally I'd rather the originator stay on top to pull upwards the derivator ;p
It'll be interesting to see if a1923 stagnates as well and plateaus themselves or if they evolve their own designs or.... go the m_moria route.
Okay none of that really matters. Basically, new cool shit is cool :)
