the whole thing is the companies trying to be cool

Subliminal message

FlatFace, Cowply, and Woob all actually have nothing to do with this shop as far as I'm aware? Zac told me it was a joke that turned real but he wasn't going to be involved in, and Mike had no idea about any of it. I don't know about John, I'm just assuming.

Tbh this whole thing seems really odd to me.
It just came out of nowhere, and imo, it feels like they tried too hard to be mysterious and build up hype, and it just ended up coming out weird.
The most unusual part about it was that there was no explanation or anything, so (as Jay stated), it was difficult to determine whether it was a joke or something.
No hate towards any of the companies involved, just my honest opinion.

Well done for clearing it up Jay. Quite a mysterious thing.

I don't know if I'm 100% correct, but when I mentioned it to Mike he said he had no idea. So I think the initial teaser is the joke, which became a reality with a handful of the companies.

So I highly doubt it's an April Fools' day joke.

EDIT: He deleted the comment lol

I still think it's a joke. Why would anyone call his shop "Exclusive Shit".

EDIT

That's booky. I dunno what to think.

thank you

that's exactly what I was thinking I know woob was not involved at all.

I guess it's like an mvp shop thing haha... But what happened to all the other good brands? Was Trent invited to the party?? :O

My mind cannot comprehend this. Exclusive shit is right, it is exclusive and shit.

it's their excuse to charge more money for shit.

I saw it on IG and thought it was an April Fool's joke, then I saw the website and other ads and lol'd hard.

Contrived teenage angst is very en vogue at the moment.  Hyped for when the 'listen to offspring ironically/parents don't love me' vibe gets going again


2002 is gonna be sick

I have a compassion for you too Mallory.

I thought it was a joke too at first.

It's nothing new though, despite the effort put into making it seem new and "exclusive."
Sites with multiple brands and limited stocks have been around for years.....

The only different with this one is that it has an odd "rebellious teenager" vibe and is geared towards all the hyped instakids. These companies have good stuff, but lets face it... if you've been around Instagram then you'll know that there are kids that just about crap their pants when a stock comes up.

Seems to be the fingerboard version of a rebel teenager with all the "I hate you" and "we proved you wrong"

i think its kinda a hipster fingerboarding webstore or whatever it is, but with the feeling of a fashion magazine or luxury material ,it transmit to me the vibration of that express a lot of materialism for something that is explicit in the name, shit that is exclusive

I don't get why it says, we proved you wrong, no one ever proved anyone wrong lol..

hipsters

just reminds me of the instagram hipster bollocks that bawse specialize in

i bet frosties exited lololol

feel the truth

why is everyone so serious lol
