They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. I tend to agree for the most part. But I must admit that when you’re the victim of it, it does smart just a little. Some of these are just downright hilarious.
模倣は最高の形のお世辞といいます。だいたいの場合は同感です。ただ、自分自身被害にあうと、少し考えさせられます。でも時にはおかし過ぎて爆笑してしまうのもあります。
I mean, at least this took a “little” bit of skill. They had to change some of the letters around and stuff.
これはほんの「ちょっと」だけスキルを必要としました。文字を少し変えないといけなかったので。
In trying to keep positive, I guess there is room for more than one positive social contagion. But damn….Change one word! And then you have the nerve to say “ORIGINAL DESIGNS”?!?
ポジティブな考え方からすると、「a positive social contagion」は一つ以上あってもいいかもしれない。でも、一言くらい変えてもいいと思う！その後に「ORIGINAL DESIGNS」と書ける神経が図太すぎる！
They booted two legs with one stone here. Staple and Medicom. Bootleggers and designers should collaborate more. See when I did this be@rbrick with Medicom for our 10th Anniversary, it didn’t even occur to me that we should do a tee. It’s actually a good idea!
ここでは一石二鳥ならぬ、一石二レッグ。StapleとMedicom。ブートレッグ業者とデザイナーがもっとコラボをすればいいのに。僕が10周年記念にMedicomとベアーブリックを作ったとき、Tシャツをやるアイディアは浮かばなかった。実際いいアイディアです！

classic!
I sent an email to your info@staple yadada about an earlier post when you came to Cali and went to the Oakley building in Foothill Ranch. My hotel is literally walking distance from that monster building. If you ever stop by again hollar!

This is a great example of the times! There are so many biters PUMPING out SH#% design. Your STPL logo shows in comparison to the knock-off how important good design is.
Wow Jeff…
Soljah have been biting Staple for something like 7-8 years now! It might be time to collect on some of that…
