Tragedy Befalls Lafayette Streetwear Scene
Tragedy struck early Saturday morning as the streetwear and skate shops of Lafayette Street slept. The scaffolding on the west side of Lafayette Street between Prince and Houston Street was apparently no match for winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour. As the wreckage of the collapsed scaffolding stands between the public and their beloved boutiques, let’s hold hands and pray for a speedy recovery. Thank goodness no sneakerheads were camped outside on this night of catastrophic wind.
Supreme, Wesc, Stackhouse, Dunderdon Workshop, G Star, Brooklyn Industries and Triple 5 Soul: Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Seriously, with the winds in the city yesterday, scaffolding was down everywhere.
How can you hate a store? Just don’t buy from it.

I deleted a few comments, e.g., “F Supreme,” because they were unsupported attacks. Keep it relevant or back up your points.

I dont understand why people get so mad about supreme (and stores like it) when in reality they’re just too poor and bitter to afford whats inside. Hey kids, time to get a job and stop crying. I’m sure supreme is happier now that the ugly scaffolding is gone anyway. Also i dont think this is seriously meant to be an article about a TRAGEDY, its just a way to jokingly talk about how the wind blew some shit down in the city.
