Uniqlo's collab with KAWS is probably the easiest piece of hype to cop in the universe of streetwear. Which is nice, because not everyone has the budget to hit up a reseller, or the time to get in line overnight. But even though Uniqlo collabs aren't exactly limited stock, the latest KAWS collection has still caused some frenzied scenes. Witness the hypebeasts of Hong Kong attacking the merch–and even each other in these videos.
Locally though, the general mood in our enthusiast groups is that everyone needs to stay calm because you're not going to miss out unless you live somewhere without a Uniqlo (and need someone to buy for you). Not that we don't have hoarders, as seen in this photo by Jarwil Dupo while he lined up at SM Makati.
Pem t-shirt kyah
But that's the exception rather than the rule in our local stores. If you're thinking that there is mad reseller money to be made off a P790 shirt, then you're going to be stuck holding a lot of extra shirts fam. Lowkey we're proud that our countrymen held their collective shit together and didn't become the meme this time!
