He’s a very good designer. The hype is out of control but that’s the industry.

That's a solid $80 shoe at most.

Excellent designer, his collaboration with Nike have always been iconic. He’s comfortable with his success, so some of his recent designs have been inconsistent maybe even a little lazy, his pop smoke album cover fiasco and his ikea collaboration for example.

He’s just not evolving

We’re all gonna laugh that society liked his shit in a few years. It’s lazy AT BEST. And the hype and prices are insanity. Same as Supreme. Laughable that people are attracted to this crap.

Overall he’s got a good design sensibility. I think because he works with such big companies, people forget that they want him to keep doing what made him famous. I feel like he’s boxed in, to a point. This is why Kanye is brilliant, even if he he’s got a screw loose. It’s why I feel KAWS is getting a little stale, but continues to be sought after.

I like the inspiration Virgil helped provide to his friend’s company called Waffles N’ Cream in Nigeria. Working with these smaller companies feels more adventurous and fresh.

Does anyone else have that one person who is more senior than you that is just always so condescending while adding no value themselves? I have a director who I work with (not in my direct mgmt line) that just treats everyone on my team so poorly, so I act as the shield and it’s so annoying how someone who is so disrespectful and honestly not super value-added only ask for data/questions and not provide any genuine input or recommendations.
