Fashion is Dumb: zsubmission

It takes fashion this hideous to awaken me from my blog slumber.

I ask Adidas, "WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE, PEOPLE?"

Also, anyone care to explain to me what this fucking ad copy means? I feel like I am doing Mad Libs after suffering a massive stroke: 

"The first ever adidas Originals by Avavav collection is a whimsically recoded exploration of the Trefoil’s timeless DNA. Three Stripes icons get the Avavav treatment as the Superstar, the signature airliner bag, a selection of Track Jackets, and more all show up in unexpected ways." 

Look at these "bring out the gimp"-ass sneakers!


With bonus "Ay, shit bro, u headed to Hoth? Do I have just the thing for u"

For those that have ventured into the Sky of Blue, you'll be proud to know this was the first GTB link posted over there. Huzzah.

To see the full depths of the stupidity, go here and scroll down to the photo of people hanging out on a playground. https://www.adidas.com/us/avavav

Due to the acquisition/merger I've mentioned here previously, I'm in the weirdest spot professionally I've ever been. The company is still determining the go forward on which software platforms we'll sell and to whom we'll sell. So, as a result, I can't do (or sell) shit. So...I'm going to get a lot of reading in these next couple of weeks.

I could have used that hoth hat today. First morning where the rush of 42mph air 30 seconds into my bike commute felt truly wintry.

There's a big hill right behind my house, lest you Gheorghies think I'm hammering the pedals hard enough to get over 40.

the jaguar rebrand stinks and it sucks and it stinks. in my humble opinion.

Daniel-san, they might be giants but you are no longer one

I have no idea who Jaguar thinks their target audience is. They should double down on their tweedy British heritage. They're the Baracuta Harrington jacket of cars, not the Avavav sneaker spat or whatever this rebrand is trying to be. Malcolm Sayer is spinning in his grave.
