      Lrg was once the streetwear “polo”
      Jonas died and it all went downhill…
      Cookies is now the new corny stoner apparel… hoping lrg hires a new creative director and changes shit around

    Fun fact when the company started: Jonas gave his homie DJ Dojah the task to compile a now super rare cassette tape with local underground west coast artists to help promote the LRG brand to backpacker/hip hop heads. I still got mine😎🤟🏻 RIP JONAS🙏🏼

    LRG was fly af. honestly hadn’t thought about them in years, but growing up skating and throughout high school, i used to rock that ish all the time. i remember saving up to buy LRG fits back in the day. It was well made, unique designs and logos, (loved the giraffe), and had branding and statements that meant something, it tried to portray a certain lifestyle, and ethics that most brands didn’t dare try and attach themselves to back then.. i mean now a days, (and especially after the rise of HUF) you see weed inspired clothing and messages about drugs and trapping all the time, it’s blatant.. but back then they were one of the only brands to do that. i remember having the entire “Hustle Trees” line and thinking it was the coolest shit ever. 😂
    but they also had messaging and marketing about helping the environment and sustainability too.
    Honestly, i’m finna track down and cop some vintage LRG pieces to incorporate into my wardrobe.
    Let’s bring that shit back! haha

    That's what I'm saying....when did LRG die? Not what they used to be true...but far from dead. And how trends are nowadays you can pull stuff back as retro.

  • @edwardg4165

    Their shirts and general clothing are still wildly popular and found on skaters around the world. The company didn't die from urban wear, just one area being music inspired and street inspired folk. I'm sure a lot of those folk back then weren't from the life either! I reckon some of their clothing from 2016 onward has been truly unique and great wearing. The designs have definitely kept growing and been a stand out amongst some rather dull 'just a name' shirts.

    @BmoreAkuma 11 місяців тому +1

    I went to the site prior to this video and I have noticed that the gear isn't really too expensive. T-shirt around $25. I had a few of their gear during that time in those early 2000s. I still have one of those jackets. :)

  • @poppinc8145
    @poppinc8145 6 місяців тому

    You left out arguably the most important factor of their downfall. LRG became synonymous with oversized and baggy clothing in the 2000s. So when people moved away from that style in the 2010s towards slim and skinny, LRG naturally became a no-go. It's only recently that LRG has been making a small comeback but now under corporate ownership.
    Zoo York was in big department stores the same time as LRG but Zoo York felt like it was popping, at least in New York, but LRG was something you didn't see anyone buying.

    Well...when one of the co-founders passes away and the company gets sold to a venture company.. what did you expect to happen? I did see some commotion about the LRG Skate program coming back last year, but I really havent seen any much noise since....definitely a brand that I would support again.

    Are you 0:32 You gotta be kidding me! LRG still has some hot joints. I just copped this dope track suit. They don’t follow any trends. They do they own thing and I still fucks with them for that. It wasn’t until homie passed away that it fell off but they still have hot threads. I was the only one with Skeleton hoodie that glowed in the dark. They should’ve kept it boutique. Play Cloths had some hot digs too. But Supreme came along and then the weirdos started wearing weird shit that looked overly feminine and for some reason fools rode the train. I call it fuckboi clothing. The LRG GSXr is still the dopest street bike ever made in my personal worthless opinion. Clear wheels I mean the shit was dope. RIP to founder. He was a real one.

My LRG collection is my whole damn wardrobe, except for some Upper Playground, Obey, and I still got 7th Letter. Our mans right though. Over saturation is LR's downfall. That being said-Fewer Fucks Given. Oh, Supreme something? Do you skate? and what skaters afford that ish? Comme Des Garconnes, etc...? If you streaming a million views on your music, okay, I get the posh designers. Idk. Guess I'll always prefer to keep it real. I still support LRG. And it still set you above the crowds.
