Thank you for your video and the info!!❤

It’s all the plastic! Bring back the leather!!!!!!!!!

Assymetrical 😂

just finished my two weeks Tokyo trip and I do agree that Harajuku is not that attractive as before, I only visited Beams, Humming Bird's hill shop, United Arrows, The H. W. Dog & Co. and Flamingo.

Cool video. Where are the mid price shopping options for men these days bro?

We now have many companies releasing different sneaker models almost every other week. Faster than the retailers can sell their current stocks. Similarly, auto and electronic device makers. Adidas and Nike confuse the hell out of their customers. What you buy at Footlocker becomes old-style as soon as you pay the cashier. Or you spend $250 on a red and blue Nike but everyone's wearing the latest black and white.

Ragtag I shopped at in Kyoto, Shinjuku and Shibuya. I bought from the last 2 stores and scored a cool CDG top. My son loves 2nd Street, thanks to your recommendation!

The days of Nike/Jordan sneakers are done. People prefer non-Nike/Jordan shoes.

I have shoes look like dress shoes but with a comfortable sneaker like outsole. It has the best of both world. They look good with suits and casual outfits. Unless I go jogging or working out in a gym, I wouldn't wear traditional sneakers anymore.

Nike has lost its magic.

MF Broke

Young kids are no longer paying $200 for a pair of sneakers that cost $5 to make in a Chinese sweatshop. Sounds like Good news to me!

Worked at a retail store during college and remember the whole Beanie Baby craze. I would tell people stories about how some people paid thousands for Beanie Babies, and I'd say, "This is no different!" People would often tell me I was old and didn't understand, or that this was different, and give me some random answers. The point is, history always repeats itself, just with different faces. Don't be fooled! Learn from the past. Anyway, good luck! And hey, maybe a Princess Diana Beanie Baby /Jordan sneaker would work!

As long as barefoot shoes remain affordable, I am indifferent to the rest of the market. I prefer footwear that promotes natural foot health rather than those that may cause deformities.

Visited Japan October 2017. It rained most of the trip. Laforet provided a warm and dry evening of browsing, education, and entertainment. I bought two dresses that were unlike anything I’d ever seen in the states. I still have them. I’ll always think fondly of the evening we spent wandering around Laforet. Thanks for highlighting and helping me remember that night.

I go to my local NIKE stores all the time (I have two within less than 20 minutes away) and see tons of Jordans for under $50. And if buying online Nike has tons of sales with additional discounts shipped directly to you and with zero doubts that they will be fakes since it's coming straight from NIKE.

I hope resellers are going BROKE. The whole sneaker culture thing was cringey AF.

It's dead when shoetubers are no more.

I’m glad. Lolol as 32 yr old guy coming back up the sneaker scene it’s about damn time. I can finally scoop 😂

Jeeej I'm a Noragi

Never understood how some china made shit that costed 10 bucks to be made by some 12 year old could be resold for $1000. I buy calf skin, stitched sole italian shoes for 1/3 of that money. If i buy anything luxurious and expensive, I pay at least half of sticker price.

Shit's played, ruined by juvenile, immature, wannabe hipster pathetic hype followers. Big with thugs, criminals, felons. Associated with trash culture. If you Support overpriced shoes you are ruining the market for you and everyone else.

Take us to the Tokyo sneaker stores! Or.... The denim stores in Okayama! Or.... Like a real look at the differences between north face and the north face purple label. Almost every significant brand has a Japanese "division".. I don't know if that's the right word. But like Japan exclusive shit.

This happened in many markets during the [censored]. Guitar market did the same exact thing.

Supply up, demand low. Prices crash. Buy low. Sell high. You're welcome.

Qq does my uniqlo selvedge jeans count as japanese denim?

Great video! Informative and non bias. Just the facts.

China under Xi Jing-ping regimen, he wants China to go back to Commie society so the Chinese are all broke and they are not buying these shoes no more! That's why market crashed!

Most countries are in a recession right now. People don’t have the money to splash around like they did even a year ago. Times are tight, it has nothing to do with sneaker culture. So you best believe this is not an isolated incident, many markets are feeling it at the moment

I really love laforet because of the pp up stores they have. Yesterday I went and there was a really cool soccer themed store and I got a few things from there. A few months ago there was a store called Water the Plant which was dope too

Ahh I didn't get to spend enough time in Harajuku and Shibuya during my big trip out there (tour group had a rigid schedule). But I want to shout out Lui's EX Shop in Parco Place. Got a really nice ombre crochet-knit sweater and the employees were quite fun to communicate with despite the language barrier.

The silhouette is very japanese in cut and fabric , gives of ysl vibes but more conservative , paints does music and worked with Asap rocky , dope ...

Paying 500 bucks for a pair of shoes that cost 40 bucks to make is insane.

2010 is back boys buy all you can

I just came back from Japan and I've got to say, I'm more impressed with Shimokitazawa's fashion than Harajuku. It has a much cooler, bohemian vibe and far less tourists.

im happy, f nike

They pricing normal people out. Simple

It all started when adidas got rid of Yeezy 👀

Wow i was just wondering where i should go to in japan to get Alt Fashion. Thank you!!!!!

🙂👌

🙂👌

Wait, "used to tour?" Did I just get lucky in being one of the last people you toured 😭.

Good Morning. Nice video. What’s all the fuss about black AF1’s? Criminals wear them, people say? Would love to see a black pair but with a white Swoosh. I think they would look great! All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

Osaka fashion tour would be unreal (Orange street and surrounds)

Absolutely agreed when it comes to finding places in Tokyo, stumbling across Snow Peak randomly, having a friend introduce Portration, there's nothing quite like it

Heading to Tokyo for the 2nd time in October and can't wait to hit up this mall. As a guy who loves woman's fashion, I can see myself wearing a lot of those styles plus it can definitely be uni sex if I wear it back home. Also really dig that Yohji hat!

What store had the bike and erl hoodie in the window? Can’t find it. Thanks in advance

BEST

I don't want content creator merch because the advertisement of it just comes off disingenuous and greedy for creators who are already wildly rich. You using Peter McKinnon and Mr Beast to make your point made me laugh because those types of creators are the exact ones who leave the worst taste in my mouth. As a photographer I have some respect for Peter but how he has commodified his online presence has taken all personality out of his content. I'll have to go read the GQ article to get full context of the discussion but I honestly kind of agree with the general sentiment as far as clothing merch goes.

The consumers are buying only reason it seems like they’re not is because we have stopped the resellers buying out the whole stock and I’m happy about it people finally realized how dumb it is to be paying resell when you can fashion classic adidas like a samba or new balance etc etc that’s always available
