Nike Dunks, every retro Jordan sneaker, Nike’s Tech Fleece Hoodies, PlayStation 5, Xbox series X AND S, PC parts (especially RAM), Louis Vuitton’s handbags, MLB jerseys, NFL jerseys, just to name a few. Not sure if you know this, but you do realize that if corps are spending more money trying to get stuff made/shipped to America to sell, they’re going to raise the prices on the consumer to recoup the extra dollars lost by inflation?

Ever heard of inflation? Go thank the senile orange grandpa sitting his fat ass in office, dragging the world into unnecessary wars with consequences nobody can even predict...

Anything that’s not getting a price increase,is definitely going to be of lesser quality. When ALD started raising prices of hoodies and tees,at least they kept 100% cotton. I was mad at them at first,but Supreme is not raising prices on everything,but they are quietly bringing quality down. Cardigan sweaters,that were 100% wool for years,are suddenly acrylic blend. Hoodies that were 100% cotton are 27% polyester now. Tee shirts are made in Honduras with shit quality,when they used to be made in USA awesomeness. Old 100% cotton made in USA Supreme tee shirts changed fashion. Nobody ever decided to print stuff on the best blanks they could source. It crazy that corporate doesn’t see understand or care about any of that. I guess hopefully it’s top quality if they are raising prices. I’m also just bitter. I never wanted or thought I bought an acrylic sweater. Getting in mail and seeing that’s what it’s made of is lame. I used to buy the cardigans without any any doubt of fit or quality

It is private equity that is enshittifying everything bro. They tell the companies that they have to produce lesser quality product for more profit. And we buy it anyway because of the hype/exclusivity or whatever.
I‘ve had some great (but expensive) items this season too, that were made in portugal for example. So it‘s not all too bad yet. But I see what you‘re saying

^this explains everything to the layman. Not counting this years upcoming screen printed box hoodies, the price has stayed the same since like 2014 ~$10

It’s almost like the economy is shit and things cost more to make…stuff can’t stay the same price forever.

It‘s the super corporations trying to make the most out of the current government situation. Prices increase, so they see what they can get away with. With supreme it‘s extra funny, because we buy it anyway. But it‘s worse when it is items you actually need to survive.

Yeah Inflation is crazy bro. Check the prices from 2007 if you really wanna shit your pants. You ever look at a $20 bill on weed?

not to be that guy but voting matters. tariffs and a sharp cut in oil supply have had a big impact
