John could crush it with more options of Practice Shorts, I’m sure, but I feel like it would go against the brand ethos. He seems pretty committed to fabric and print and story development, so it’s hard to imagine him just blatantly going after the EE market. That being said, somebody should. There is no freaking way those shorts are worth the hype they’re churning up, right???

I think I’d buy into the fabric and print development angle for shorts more if we hadn’t seen the Villain (and any terry product, really) pumped out in every color under the sun for the last 5 years.

I will say, I have quite a few pairs of EE shorts and love the fit, colors, and patterns. Yes, they are single layer so they won’t have a similar look and feel to JE but I find them to be super comfortable and great for summer. I wouldn’t equate the single layer or being more of a see through mesh to low quality - I’ve found them to be great quality, just different aspects. If you view quality as weight and layers then they may not be for you.

They actually pair quite well with vintage tees and more classic looks given their simplicity.

Great shorts if you can get them on drop day? Yes. Worth the hype? Debatable.

Great point. The practice short for me is a staple, a few more options right now during summer would be nice besides that woodland print that I really dont like.

Are the practice shorts and game shorts both double layered?

The more I look at the Steelhead Marble the more I like it. Probably the best dye since the Marble OS / AE. Really curious if the sweats/hoodies that are coming are Heavyweight, ?.

after you accept an offer, you have 5 days to provide a tracking number thru the app. once you do that, your funds get released to your linked paypal account.

edit - heads up on grailed...some japanese seller listed about 50 je items this morning. some decent finds.

Sometimes it can take a week or two to get your $$$ if you haven’t made a sale in awhile

Might be a difference based on business account vs personal account.
