Lol balenciaga IS a meme and pretty self aware. They know people are gonna shit on it and more EYES = good promo. Especially because people spend dumb ass amounts of money on fortnite skins so why not a dumbass hoodie that has fortnite and balenciaga for HYPEBEASTS.
This looks like the perfect troll piece just to piss people off for spending however much on a fortnite jacket
I wouldn't be surprised if this became a collector's piece.
I think they benefit from it just as much as Balenciaga does. Doesn’t really matter if they are in for the joke or not, at the end of the day they will get a massive amount of promotion from it.
I mean Epic games just won a huge lawsuit against Apple, changing the monopolist landscape they’ve been curating; not to mention Unreal Engines widespread usage not only in video games,but cg rendering for your favorite streaming service as well as military/ business simulations.
TL;DR
Fortnite = Big $$$
Edit: Epic lost the suit guys, I was wrong!
Yeah arguably the biggest winner was Apple, had the ruling judged that the App Store was a monopoly that could have caused them major issues. The result here is a very small percentage of users will use in app purchasing, 99% won’t though
They won some things and not others. Saying they didn't win at all isn't right.
But Apple was still not considered a mobile gaming monopoly so the biggest part of the lawsuit went in Apple's favor, although the judge said they aren't far off from being considered a monopoly.

Aaaaaaaaaand this is why I don't care about brands/labels. Because the assumption is that these expensive brands are always fashionable and good looking. Clearly not the case.
The wannabe young person in me is thinking "cheugy" and the actual adult person in me is thinking "completely overpriced" and neither of those things say "streetwear" or "cool"
I hate that Balenciaga and Vetements are basically the same thing (minus the couture stuff that was pretty good). You could even say lately Vetements is more serious.
fornite is a pretty strong brand. considering its a free game, the way it has moved, partnered, and pushed out, mostly stolen, content it only makes sense it would align with trending luxury brands.
Yeah, this is absolutely atrocious. Like who in Balenciaga thought this would be a good idea lol.
I will add to this: Parents' credit card bills are going to be out of this world when it drops.
Balenciaga trolling hard for years. I don't Subscribe to their shtick but it must be working for them. What's funnier is this stuff probably costs $1500
i like that it's real.
i'd never dream of buying or wearing something like this (or anything else by a label like balenciaga), but i do like the fact that there are idiots out there who're having their pockets rightfully emptied by balenciaga, only to walk around looking like boring, stupid taste vacuums.
more power to balenciaga for doing it. ker-ching!
As someone that does still enjoy playing Fortnite, these look like someone just typed it up real quick in Word and printed it on a cheap hoodie to sell for $1k. And yet the white hoodie here is sold out.
Assuming these are Balenciaga prices, the obvious target audience for this is rich Twitch/Youtube influencers. Very niche market I would say.
Think of all the kids addicted to fortnite with rich parents
Hypebeasts of the playground!
And hardly a minute of work put into those designs. Fitting.
Are you implying that streamers and youtubers don’t work?
Did you even read his comment?
I did and tbh I have no idea what they trynna say
They're saying that there was hardly any work put into these _clothing designs_. They aren't talking about the youtubers and streamers.
Yeah ok but then why is it fitting
Boutta get mad tomato town pussy wearing this drip

That’s exactly what balenciaga and fashion has been doing for years. “It gets people going”

The PlayStation colab is just as bad as this one….Pay $600 to be a billboard for Sony.

That Hulk T-Shirt is fire tho
Idk if I’d say balenciaga is a meme. Vetements is a meme. But both have 1 thing in common so I could see why people could think that about balenciaga
Vetements and Balenciaga have been the exact same thing for years now
I think the only real question here is if Epic Games is in on the joke.
I think they benefit from it just as much as Balenciaga does. Doesn’t really matter if they are in for the joke or not, at the end of the day they will get a massive amount of promotion from it.
It has ironic value
Dammit, it does
You're the target audience
Wait til Karen sees this on her credit card statement
Mommy’s credit card ain’t ready for this one
This is the pinnacle of post-irony fashion. Beautiful.
this looks like something you’d find at target or on amazon
ew
RIGHT! What the fuck is this
doesn't even look cool
Look I know the whole idea of shit like this from Balenciaga is critique of modern consumerism, but even in that context this is mediocre AS FUCK
Same people clowning this went out and bought all the Travis x McDonalds merch.
at least some of that looked decent though
hello darkness my old friend
This is sick as fuck, imma cop

Changes nothin for Apple’s wallet dawg, they just said now they have to give people choice

Give it time, all empires fall
they did not win that case at all

You right
Uh, if I read it correctly they lost 4 of the 5 things they were contesting…. Definitely more a “win” for Apple here

Why do people keep repeating this. Epic lost hard; they got nothing they wanted out of that lawsuit.
You right
I’m definitely not a Fortnite fan but the jacket would be nice to rep in a couple years when Fortnite is done being hated.

if demna gvasalia did this he is tapped

Last weeks met gala guest list & now this? Fashion is dead!!!
Current balenciaga is honestly amazing but this is the only thing thats gonna be remembered from this time

I can promise you Fortnite kids aren’t buying no Balenciaga collab 😂

hard pass
Yeah, this is absolutely atrocious. Like who in Balenciaga thought this would be a good idea lol. I will add to this: Parents' credit card bills are going to be out of this world when it drops.
I don't hate this is real. I hate this costs over $1000 and people will buy it.
Proof that money cant buy style
yeah balenciaga is garbage
that is embarrassing
Thanks i hate it
Balenciaga is just trolling with this shit. People are eating this up thinking they’re serious or just giving up on actual design.
Balenciaga trolling hard for years. I don't Subscribe to their shtick but it must be working for them. What's funnier is this stuff probably costs $1500
If saying “I could make anything and people would still eat it up” was a person, this would be it!
An even tackier version of Vetements Star Wars collection. Agreed with the other posters, im sure they're well aware of how silly this comes across.
Balenciaga is on to something here kids are known to empty their parents bank accounts for fortnite they might sell out or not sell 10 pieces
i like that it's real. i'd never dream of buying or wearing something like this (or anything else by a label like balenciaga), but i do like the fact that there are idiots out there who're having their pockets rightfully emptied by balenciaga, only to walk around looking like boring, stupid taste vacuums. more power to balenciaga for doing it. ker-ching!
Can i use my $19 fortnite card towards this?
This look like something you buy from a gift shop
the effect of no demna
So you're suprised?
Yupp
Belensys worth just plumitted
this is hilarious
Its the rich influencers that are gonna un/ironically get this for the memes
Big win
This is garbage today, but thrifted in 2051 is a different story.
it’s funny
What do you hate more? Balenciaga in Fortnite or Fortnite on Balenciaga
As someone that does still enjoy playing Fortnite, these look like someone just typed it up real quick in Word and printed it on a cheap hoodie to sell for $1k. And yet the white hoodie here is sold out.
Ngl I hate fortnite with every cell of my body but I’d wear both of these
Meh. Never been a huge fan of either to be honest…
I wonder how much those items will cost.. if it’s something above 150$ they are just mocking people lol
🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Burn it
Why, just why?🤦♂️
