                    Kids Are Paying $1000's For Hoodies! Is It Worth It?


Chances are you've heard of  "Supreme" before. I'f you haven't, Supreme is a skate shop turned street wear brand founded by James Jebbia. What makes Supreme different from rivalry street wear brands is there very limited quantity of products and the way they release there clothe. Rather than releasing a season's collection all at once like other brands do, Supreme releases a couple items from the season ever week or so. Supreme's fans nick-named these weekly releases, "Drops." Not only are supreme products limited but the amount of stores in the world are as well. The first ever supreme store was opened in NYC (Lafayette Street) in 1994. There is only 9 other Supreme stores in the world, 6 of them being in Japan, one in Paris, another in London, and the last one being in L.A.

 It is very very difficult to obtain Supreme's products. Lines at the New York store often stretch out to multiple blocks and select items on Supreme's web store can sell out within milliseconds. Due to the rarity of Supreme, fans often find themselves paying unimaginable aftermarket prices.

Supreme's "Box Logo" Hoodie
This is probably Supreme's most desired and sought after product of all time. The "Box Logo" hoodie/shirt/crew neck, also known as the "Bogo." Retail price for a Box Logo hoodie is $148 but due to the rarity of the piece, re-sellers mark up it's value to $400-$4000. But wait... it's not just there clothe that hold value... Some accessories can go for even more money.

Supreme X Everlast punching bag.
 This is the very rare Supreme punching bag. This item was never actually released due to problems within shipping to customers but it was given out to employees. This item has previously been sold on Ebay for $17,000.

                             

                            But... Is it all worth it?

 
In my opinion. Yes... It is worth it. Supreme may be categorized as a skate/clothe brand but due to the rarity of it, Supreme's products are more than just clothe or accessories, these products are collectibles. If you are willing to spend thousands of dollars to obtain a shirt or boxing accessory that only a couple hundred people in the world have, then why not? To each it's own.

His music is currently becoming more and more popular with each second. You may know of him due to the trending hashtag ' #FREE X ' which many of his fans/supporters are using, representing the idea that he should be released from jail. X was interviewed on No Jumper, a youtube podcast that interviews different musicians of primarily the rap genre. After being interviewed hype arose about him and he's still gaining more and more fame while still behind bars. Some of X's most hype songs are: - Look At Me - #Imsippinteainyohood - ILOVEITWHENTHEYRUN - RUN UP ON ME And of course some others. Many people tend to question X's name, either as to what it means or how to pronounce it. He said himself that his name 'XXXTentacion' translates to XXX - he claims he himself is addicted to pornography and tentacion is Spani

Kenn Fuchs Salad Fingers You may have by now heard of the popular, strange and creepy series which lingers around youtube going by the name of 'Salad Fingers.' Theres a total of 10 episodes, each of them getting weirder and much more sinister as you watch. The video series was created by a man named David Firth, and the animated series's main star is a slender green man who goes by the name of Salad Fingers. The series is quite hard to follow and is pretty creepy in my opinion. Strange and funny at the same time. There's no exact story to follow but people on Reddit and other pages are trying to figure out the story behind it all, and here's what they're come up with. Salad Fingers was a soldier in WW1 and suffers with PTSD and commonly hallucinates. He lives alone and everyone in his life has either walked out on him, died or something else. In the series you can see him commonly speaking to himself and associating with voices in his head, himsel
