That was the problem. It was already basic. He didn't elevate it, he didn't deconstruct it...
he essentially stuck his hang tag on them and there you go.

interest - who buys drkshdw to impress anyone? it's all basics...
(but fyi, with that coating those pieces wear nicer with time than reg. eastpaks. my bag looks like it's been thru a cheese grater by now.)
not everything has to be all fashunz, sweetie.

I also feel that this would have been a better fit for Nike, but ADIDAS do more designer collabs so it's not surprising. I really hope it's a legit trainer/running shoe. I'm curious to see how he'll put his spin on it. Out of all the collabs he could have done (next) this definitely makes the most sense, it fits his lifestyle.some do it fast, some do it better in smaller amounts.

What I'm simply saying is that Nike has design cred - Adidas does not (sorry, Yohji). Like it or not, Nike is cool and has streetwear cache, and now Rick does too, so it would make sense.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Nike might be a bigger company, but Adidas is more respected as a pure "design" company with cooler street cred than Nike. I really dont know why this is, but I think for who rick is as a designer and how his brand is positioned, this makes better sense than a Nike Collab.
I really am not sure about this whole collab thing though, even though to say that is kind of hypocritical coming from me.......“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
