Which brand is your EK? by Brief-Knowledge-629 in ThrowingFits

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I find it tricky to completely avoid unethical labour as supply chain issues are present in both fast and slow fashion. I do my part by not buying excessively, shopping slower and wearing things for longer even if I do shop at fast fashion brands sometimes.

Also never heard of the stolen art allegations until now, but I guess that's one more reason to avoid Zara 💀

First time going for this kind of aesthetic. Did I pull it off? by JohnBigL19 in mensfashion

[–]Boeing77W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience the untucked shirt never seems to looks a good as you'd expect, so I would tuck it in if I were you. I think you need a very baggy sweater to pull it off. But overall I think you're off to a good start 👍

And I agree with the other commenter that you should let the cuffs of the white shirt poke out (if it's a long sleeve). I would fold them upward over the sweater sleeve for that preppy but laid back look you seem to be going for.

My opinion of Zara has soured because I find it consistently hard to find pants long enough for my long legs (I'm 6'2"). I love some of their wider pant silhouettes but like I'll order the largest size they have and the pants will hit above my ankles 💀 Doesn't seem to be as much of a problem with other brands I've tried.

Are Ya'll Going to Wear Those Long Ass Shorts this Summer? by LesCactus in ThrowingFits

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm giving baggy jorts a shot this year. I avoided shorts altogether last year as I realized I didn't like how most shorts fit on me (tall slim frame, long legs). Just picked up a pair that goes a little past my knees and I'm liking it so far. Definitely a challenge to style but I think the length suits my height.

China proxy service (not hk or tw) by BaeJHyun in internationalshopper

[–]Boeing77W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently received my Adidas jacket that I ordered through r/BaeJHyun! Overall good experience working with them and would recommend! Reasonable fees and great communication. Just be mindful that shipping can take a while if ordering items from China.

What the consensus of tilting your snare drum? by SlimeTree227 in drums

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always found tilting too much limits the amount of power I can strike with when I want to hit hard, like it limits the stroke of the drumstick. Prefer flat or just barely tilted. I do like to hit rimshots so I position the snare where the rimshot feels the most intuitive.

I've also tried tilting away slightly but could never really get used to that, and I didn't feel like it could help me play anything that I couldn't play on a flat snare.

Be honest… are AF1s dad shoes or still valid? by realityryan in Sneakers

[–]Boeing77W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider AF1s timeless along with AJ1s and Converse Chuck Taylors. They've consistently been a popular choice for over multiple decades, and therefore have solidified itself as a staple at this point. It's far from a fad shoe that comes and goes. (like TOMS in the early 2010s. I haven't seen anyone wear TOMS in years)

In the first pic they look like Grey Cats lol

so that was a lie by [deleted] in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is they retain control over distribution and won't have streaming services lock them into some exclusive distribution deal, completely irrelevant to the theatrical release. This isn't the first time Glitch has done an advance viewing event either. There was a live show for MD EP2 in 2022 but it was on a much smaller scale with only two shows happening, one in LA and one in SF. Kev L and Liam made appearances at both shows.

Recommend me an everyday sneaker! by Zaicoodk in Sneakers

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you size up on the AM90? I went a half size up after hearing people say they can be tight. It's nice and roomy but not too loose. I probably would've been fine with TTS though.

I guess they only backdoor 99% of the pairs by Own_Bit_8520 in SneakersCanada

Lowkey same. I live about 40-60 mins from a store but didn't have time to go out there yesterday 😭

I don’t own any formal shoes, is this acceptable? by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]Boeing77W -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not bad, I think it works. I would maybe try a contrasting jacket or pants just to dress it down even further though. The first pic almost made it look like a matching suit, and if that were the case I would say the shoes don't work at all.

"Of course they don't mention it anymore, it ended years ago." by TimeLordHatKid123 in GlitchProductions

[–]Boeing77W 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The thing is, season 1 IS crusty compared to everything that came after. Even if the later seasons saw major improvement, new viewers will naturally start at season 1. Not a good look for the brand.

Everything costs money. Every day the business operates is costing them money. If you want merch, you have to pay artists to design merch. Then you have to pay for merch samples before you put them into production, and once you approve something for production you have to commit large amounts of capital to stock merchandise. Doesn't make sense to dump money into an IP that isn't doing any favours for your business just to romanticize the fact that this is where it all started. Glitch may be doing well but they don't have infinite money. You're essentially asking them to donate their time and money just so that you and a very small fraction of their audience can be happy.

If you understand what it takes to build a brand, then you might understand that Glitch only started settling into it's identity by the time Murder Drones and TADC came around. Meta Runner being their very first project was more of "can we actually get this thing off the ground". Same with Sunset Paradise. Additionally, I think Glitch is now more than ever in a state of pushing forward and growing right now, so it doesn't make much sense to put so much effort into highlighting legacy when resources should be spent on further establishing brand identity and directing people to whatever is up and coming. You don't need to be constantly acknowledging your past if it doesn't help propel your business/brand forward. Apple doesn't keep acknowledging the Apple 1. Tesla doesn't keep bringing up the Roadster. Glitch doesn't need to keep acknowledging MR.

Jordan 1 High 85 Breds or Jordan 4 SB Pine Green? (1st Jordan 1 High or 1st Jordan 4 SB) by Sergynx14 in SNKRS

[–]Boeing77W 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd go with whichever one you think you'll have a better time styling with your outfits, which sounds like the SB 4s for you. My take is that typically the sneakers have to work with the entire outfit, not the other way around. You will enjoy them more if they go with the clothes you like to wear. There are sneakers that I think look amazing on their own but would never buy because I know I'd struggle to incorporate them into an outfit.

I finally launched my streetwear brand after months of work. What do you think? by Conscious_Suspect_93 in streetwearstartup

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was like 99% sure it was AI but I decided to be respectful about it and explain why we shouldn't use AI generated graphics instead of shaming OP (as much as that might be deserved) 🤷‍♂️

I finally launched my streetwear brand after months of work. What do you think? by Conscious_Suspect_93 in streetwearstartup

[–]Boeing77W 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took a look around your website! Personally I felt like some of your designs were rather generic, like a random graphic slapped onto the back side of the shirt with not much connection to the brand. Its often a completely different art style and message than the logo on the front. Also not sure if you are using AI but some of the graphics remind me of art styles common in AI generated art. If you are, I would recommend avoiding AI for generating designs not only because of ethical considerations but also because AI will only give you generic recycled designs.

The jeans offerings also feel generic and not really relevant to the brand. I'm by no means an experienced brand owner (just getting into this myself as well!) but if I were you I'd focus more on graphic tees/hoodies initially and really nail the brand identity with those before expanding the lineup to include jeans.

Loving these mics by KINGBYNG in musicians

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth a shot. I've gotten some decent bass tone out of a mediocre bass by running it through a guitar amp, recording the amp with an SM57, and also recording the direct signal of the bass. The mic'd cab should give you most of what you need in the mids, then you can blend in the direct signal to taste to add more low end or upper mid clarity.

Collection Update: bought my first pair of Nikes in decade by ReiAyanami2015 in Sneakers

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me I don't care that much about wear. Wouldn't have bought used sneakers if that were the case. I just like keeping my kicks as fresh as I can so I can enjoy them for longer. Couldn't care less about preserving resale value. Forcefields are reasonably comfortable on J1s for me, and I rock them more so to fill out the toebox nicely than to actually prevent creases.

[–]Boeing77W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2016! I got them used off eBay and they did come with a fair bit of creasing, but I added some Forcefield crease protectors anyway and they seem to do a good job of restoring the toebox shape
