19 days.
“Is it difficult for people to be original when so much music has been written?”
RUBIN: “No, not at all. Everything has already been done and your job is to find the new way to do it. And it happens all the time. One of the magic pieces of the formula is when things that are not normally put together are put together.
I think moments like this make startup work super rewarding.
In bigger companies, you don't have the freedom to build stuff the same way. A larger, more established company would have never let me put a 20-foot skeleton shooting lasers out of its eyes on the Nasdaq tower.
The trouble began after Donahoe, the former of C.E.O. of Bain and eBay, then ServiceNow, the cloud computing company, decided to end Nike’s relationships with several wholesale partners—including Zappos, DSW, and Dillards—to focus on its direct-to-consumer business. Theoretically, this made sense. On some level, Nike is a luxury brand, like Apple or Dior, and it should be sold direct for all the obvious reasons—relentless focus on the product and narrative, scarcity, vertical integration, harvesting data, etcetera.
But unlike the luxury market, where multibrand retail continues to contract, outlets like Dick’s Sporting Goods or Zappos offer an essential and convenient service. If you stop selling via Zappos, for example, it’s not like all those sales are suddenly going to funnel to Nike.com. (Beauty works similarly—look at the dominance of Sephora and Ulta.) By pulling back from normie wholesalers, Nike made room for Hoka and On, among others, to snag market share. Deckers, which owns Hoka, has seen its stock rise 73 percent over the past year. On’s shares are up 18 percent. (Read More: Nike’s distribution snafu covers over a far more significant mistake).
I'm here to tell you that I'm turning 40 and somehow just discovered that the best white T-shirt on the planet is available in a six-pack for $26 at Costco.
Don't waste your youth searching and spending money on white t-shirts. I've done Uniqlo, Gildan, Muji, and J.Crew... The Costco T-shirt is better. AND IT'S A FRACTION OF THE COST (honestly spending $45+ on a single white t-shirt is insane). As I rapidly age, price point and quality matter... luckily with the Kirkland Signature Men's Crew Neck T-Shirt, YOU GET BOTH!
Also, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK those dorks at Buck Mason. The dudes that work there are too much.
Have you ever been in before? Beeeeeecause we do things here a little differently – the first thing you'll notice is our T-shirts are curved at the bottom.
Despite all buzz, I think their white t-shirts are soooooo bad – for me they fit like total shit. There is something very unnatural about a t-shirt with a curved bottom hem (not a hem God ever intended). When I told them that I hated the fit they took it VERY personally and became very rude, encouraging me to go "check out "UNTUCKit." Which was very good BURRRRRRN, but totally unnecessary. It was almost as if they associated the bad fit with the curved bottom hem and felt like I must require a shirt that is longer in the front? Or they were just being dicks and insinuating that I had poor taste because I didn't like their shirt. Regardless, the whole experience turned me off of the brand.Kinds of Kindness was good, but it felt like they were trying a bit too hard. Like the writer saw Poor Things and said, "I can do this shit" and hired the exact same cast.
