thank you for this video, before i always hated people who wore off white shirts and i thought the guy who invented that brand is just the next regular rich guy who just has good connections, i would never think that there is such a beautiful and innovative man behind that brand who even gives out a free harvarad speech and shows us the youth all his wisdom before passing away.
I don't remember how long I have been following you and watching your videos, and one thing I still dont understand is how you are still not at a Million milestone.. sooo much underrated and undiscovered I guess!!
One important note on Marcel Duchamp fountain. Duchamp « created » this piece in an artistically time and era where some artists were trying to break further from the « schooled » worked of arts, the academic style. These attempts can be found slowly but surely in impressionnism for example. But for the fountain, when Duchamp presented it, it was at the « independent artists salon » of New York back in 1917, where the salon slogan was « everything is art. » The goal of the fountain then was not to create a « new art vision » but to truly mock such a slogan and people taking part in it, because if everything is art, then a pissbowl can be, and they would need to accept it’s display in the salon, which they did not. So the fountain did two things at it’s core, mock this vision of « everything is art » and it’s foggy definitions, but also basically open a « pandora box » on art, where many people after that, claim to be inspired by Duchamp to « mock things » to hide a lack of sense technique or meaning in a work. The urinoir was made to mock people such as an internet comment would mock a claim as « so if you are so intelligent and superior, why so : […] », but the meaning of the act has been deviated to be used as other ends, and it is important to keep that in mind.
@@AthleticInterest You’re welcome ! Hard to be precise and summarize in a UA-cam comment but such a crazily interesting topic, this piece was really a cornerstone in art history for sure, for good and less good. Duchamp is a really great artist with interesting vision too, too many people disregard his work and downgrade him to these « ready made » objects, but he highly participated in cementing this new art era that would rise at the beginning of the 20th century, I recommend everyone to dive into this topic since it can explain a lot of « foundations » regarding sometimes the state of the modern art scene. Also in any way, if my comment feels too rushed or lack essential informations, I’d be glad to see corrections from other art passionates in the comment :D And last but not least, thank YOU for you hard work and passionate storytelling of your channel, always glad to see a new video popping up on my feed !
rip virgil, he dropped free game on his business for his love of collaboration; he felt everyone should have basic knowledge and access to business resources. there wont be many more of his kind, long live V
Too short sirs! 😅 Am used to longer analysis from you. But maybe you can do a follow-up of designers with deep links to sports companies (Kim Jones) or athletes/enthusiasts themselves (Jerry Lorenzo. Keep up the usual fantastic and fascinating work 💪💪
@AthleticInterest Trust me when I say this; I am so critical and often dont get pleased. Your videos, style of recording, timing and how you capture attention is perfect. You're underrated my friend.
For me it was "scary" at all. For me this is when marketing is more like a presentation, it's more an imposition. Because I respect everyone but when someone play dirty i don't care because this is playing us. Thanks for the beautiful videos
Per me più che una rivoluzione ha solo rotto le scatole e fatto si che si continuasse a speculare. Infatti ora le scarpe sono più economiche, anche quelle di serie A, ma vendute con l'hype
“Eyewear is a specialized product which requires a lot of experience around optics, fit, frame and design. Therefore, it only makes sense to work with the best in talent, knowhow and technology in the industry,”
That was a great video. I feel bamboozled and bait-and-switched with regard to the title. I’m sure it’s working for you, just feels like trickery. Great video content nonetheless. Thank you for putting it together and sharing.
I think every off white nike is changed more than 3%. They all had a real design project workphase behind them. They are deconstructions of the shoes from a perspective that can only exist in a time when the shoes are already being understood amd conceived by the customers. They know the original and now they are presented a deconstruction of the shoe.
The 3% rule might only apply to less than 3% of the global market because even the iteration products including running shoes have more significant change than 3% in design. Adidas and Nike usually apply odd/even design rule which is to make a significant change to product on the 3rd, 5th and 7th iterations and only make subtle changes in the 2nd 4th and 6th itirerations. Also running shoes don't get that much collab products. Adidas mostly collab with Allbirds and Y-3 and their products 99% casual wear than performance product.
You could never convince me a 500 dollar shoe is better then a 50 dollar shoe. I used to beat people with Jordan's and Nike's onall the time with my Walmart shoes. It's about the person more then the shoe. Why would you spend 300 dollars on shoe's you have to worry about getting dirty or stolen? I can buy a couple pairs of clothes and a couple pairs of shoes for the price of one pair of shoes. Then I can get them dirty and not lose my mind. The way theft is the shoes are only going to get more expensive. I don't care what race the kid is who makes my shoe. I'm not picky.
Whenever a fashion brand advertises $500 athletic shoes, I assume they are only made for casual purposes and not actually for sports. Athletic shoes worn by athletes get sweaty and dirty and need to be replaced once or twice a year depending how often they’re used. The shoe does not make anybody a better player. Being taught good fundamentals and practising a lot is going to make a difference.
@@dronesclubhighjinks That's not even close to how often they are replaced, most professional footballers use a pair only once for a match, there are players that even use two pairs in a match (one for the first half and another for the second half).
@@sebastiancarreira5832 yes, incredible isn’t it? About the once or twice a year replacement rate, I meant for regular people who play school or community-level sports - not for elite athletes. Tennis players sometimes put on a new pair partway through their match. As for ballerinas, their pointe shoes are handmade, cost at least US$100 a pair, and they might last a whole week if they’re lucky. They have to sew on the ribbons themselves. (They secure the shoe to the lower leg.) They have to do all kinds of things to make the shoe broken in enough to dance in. It’s actually quite fascinating, even if you have no interest in ballet. I have to admire their dedication! An activity that might be even more difficult is synchronized swimming, which they now call artistic swimming. They don’t need shoes, but there’s a video on UA-cam about all the gunk they have to put on their hair and face to look good for competitions, and how long it takes to get it off afterwards. They have to wear nose plugs and are not allowed to wear goggles. People make fun of that sport, but it is extremely difficult!

Plenty more to come 🙂
This video is a tribute to Virgil Abloh.
Rest in Peace, our Black Star from Ghana 🇬🇭
The fact that he was mentioned makes me super proud. 🇬🇭
Just this Tuesday I used his story in my presentation at work. Everyone was lemme say very happy and amazed as to what he achieved within that short span.
R.I.P Legend.
yo i get it black star from ghana, ghanas flag has a black star! thats a cool connection (sorry im a flag nerd)
Love the video as per usual. The dotted line pointed at “Ghana” was actually Cameroon 😅 btw
I came to the comments section saying, "someone's gotta say it" haha
Saw that straightaway and laughed. So happy others saw it too.
You are by far the most underrated UA-camr in my opinion. Please never stop!
Athletic Interests is one of the underrated Sports UA-cam Channels 👏 ❤
In 5 years this Channel Will have millions so underated keep it up!🔥
Thank you! We will! 😄
I just saw your thumbnail and remembered that nike had a sale online and i just ordered a pair of shoes. Now i truely understand how they trick me.
they should pay us for this 😃
The storyboarding on these is amazing Athletic Interest, I also appreciate the iconic Good Morning metronome from Kanye at 6:55

Abloh took inspiration from urban lowlife streetwear and turned it into haute couture, providing larping opportunities to the 1%-er.
I got a nike ad for this video😂
Virgil Abloh was the biggest hack in the game. He opened Pandora’s box for the hellscape we are now in
That was an insane Video. Keep going with that work❤😊
We will! Thanks 🙏
It appears each time Nike releases a new Jordan 1 it's +10% expensive and -10% quality 😅
What great idea this man has now everyone else follow his footsteps especially the Chinese.
Very insightful video!
Thank you very much! 😀
Kanye was waaaayyyyyyy earlier in sneaker collaborations than Virgil
You have mapped Virgil's parents as coming from Cameroon while saying Ghana.
rip virgil, he dropped free game on his business for his love of collaboration; he felt everyone should have basic knowledge and access to business resources. there wont be many more of his kind, long live V
Also got a nike ad on this video💀💀
9:36 “Nike products were so perfectly put together” shows the yellow adidas human races on the top left
Abloh and Ye seemed to be really into fashion. That's pretty dope.
I'm so glad that replica shoes actually exist. Save your money!
Bro your voice is heavenly
Voice of an angel 😇
Didn't know about this story. Keep it up!!
even Kanye showed great interest in working alongside Virgil
I had no clue he was dead. What an unique human being, he had a sixth sense for fashion like nobody else
This channel started since 2019 and I still don't know the voice behind the narratives.
😂😂😂
His parents immigrated from Ghana, yet your dotted lines showing his country of origin (5:52) point to Cameroon?
I like adidas shoes more especially the ultra boost! Anything with that white foam is amazing to wear
Too short sirs! 😅 Am used to longer analysis from you. But maybe you can do a follow-up of designers with deep links to sports companies (Kim Jones) or athletes/enthusiasts themselves (Jerry Lorenzo. Keep up the usual fantastic and fascinating work 💪💪

Pretty much and don’t forget to get another influential person with fame to back you like Kanye did with Virgil.

“Eyewear is a specialized product which requires a lot of experience around optics, fit, frame and design. Therefore, it only makes sense to work with the best in talent, knowhow and technology in the industry,”
Interesting. I had never heard about Vigil or Off White. You should do a vidoe on the rugby world cup. It's setting attendance and viewership records.
Rest well Virgil Abloh

"His parents emigrated from Ghana" ends up showing a line from the Cameroons
Why did you compare a RETAIL PRICED NIKE SHOE vs an AFTERMARKET RESEL shoe?
The change to spotify algorithms has actually killed my desire to seek new music. I just listen to my old playlists instead
The dhl sneaker threw me off 😂
Talking about Vergil Ablo.. they decided better to advertise their socks 💀 4:35
Like bruh are you serious… doesn’t make me even buy
Made by the true GOAT himself VIRGIL ALBOH..
You should do one on Clint from corteiz

More to come, next video is going to be a special one :)
Hey Athletic Interest another Quality content 😮❤
Glad you like it and happy to be back from our break :)
I still cant understand why sneakers resellers (2nd hand shoes) sell more than for what they were bought for?
Limited supply. Often the sneakers are rare to find brand new, so if someone has one to sell, they can name their price
Your paying for how limited the shoe is. Now i dont understand how they come up with how much more to charge for a certain shoe
Immigrated from Ghana. Goes on to show Cameroon 😂
The 3% rule might only apply to less than 3% of the global market because even the iteration products including running shoes have more significant change than 3% in design.

Nah Nike pays 5 pence an hour to poor workers in India pretty sure there profit margin is way higher then 5%
