Idk... I don’t even know if that phrase made sense there, but I think you get the idea.
I got my AAU in, they are good, but not great. the cut is a bit off, They flare out so badly. The lining is the best part, the zipper is pretty terrible. All you guys buying 3 pairs are insane

You see the one I posted where the lining was falling apart brand new? I'm terrified that the same thing will happen now to my other pair.

On another note, do you think the red Seekings hoodie would be worth ("worth" being very loosely used here) the money based on the one you have?

I mean they are mesh shorts ?. All they’re good for is beating up during daily activities like lounging, walking, working out, etc. I wouldn’t buy AAUs with fashion or styling in mind. That’s also why I stuck to two pair of black. They are great for not giving a ****.

Then why not just buy unbranded footlocker brand mesh shorts?

I’m sure the quality is great, but to me, at the end of the day it’s a red hoodie. Not the most versatile color, and being a hoodie, seems a bit overpriced for home use.

Yeah. The blue one is the other in stock that I like.

Lol you know the answers but in case you really mean that... Cut, fit, quality, lining. FL mesh shorts will not be this specific in its cut and fit, the materials will be rough, they don’t come with the lining, and lastly, after several washes those FL shorts will look like even more **** than when you first put them on.

I agree the flare may be kinda annoying to some, and the YKK is kinda trash, but those other 4 points are more important.

I was trolling but yeah. I was trying to say that different people find value in JE products for different reasons. If people hate the fit / zippers I can understand why they wouldn't want these. I agree the liner makes them worth it and the fit is still superior to most mainstream options

On the printed shorts, I will say I think most people still wear them casually and aren't buying them to be stylish. Just a nice option to have. Additionally, some people in this thread have very loud styles but it works with their vibe. There are others I've never seen wear anything but neutral tones but its their vibe and I respect that too.
