its surprised to see how business interest in light of this has cause certain members to be defensive.

You got your opinion, I got mine, like I said I am sure that this wasnt lorded over in some boardroom and some designer probably thought that it'd be cool, but forget the little man cause he works at nike, and whether or not they employ sweatshops I dont know Ive never been or seen evidence but there advertising and desing is hot and how many people in this threa dont own a pair of nikes? and Shepard got permision from Andre the Giants' peeps, his estate, be f@ckin real.

Not to mention it looks like the initial response came from fans Minor Threat/Dischord, they would have threw them a couple of dollars and these flyer would still be in circulation.

that's great you are so above this controversy. i do not own a pair of nikes. I'm sure that design was discussed in a boardroom. the event doesnt cost a hundred bucks to produce. the promotion is big time. so whatever
- TNDAP0
Yeah, whatever!?!
- BonSeff0
yeah, i'm sure dischord would have jumped at the chance to sell out for a 'couple bucks'

OBEY wasn't concieved to sell tickets to a show and wasn't ripping off an existing poster.
YOu really can't compare the 2 that would be juvenile.

(Jun 28 05, 08:53)I don't understand how having a problem with this is being juvenile. I'm not a skate boarder, punk or fan of Minor Threat, but I'm glad I'm less blase about this issue than some appear to be.
anyway, whateva indeed ;)

dinky, if you're a sz 9 my friend peter would like to buy those from you...

I like Fairey's stuff so I don't want you to think I am bashing him, just some artist create things from other art, or find inspiration from other art it's been that way for a long time but to say it's okay cause it's Obey and not okay cause it's Nike is bull, and Fairey has ripped a lot of s#!t during his career.
