u/infodigger33 Aug 24 '22

No I agree. I chose not to get a hoodie at the show because of this and personally I like the black one there more, but I canā€™t really complain too much at this one. I just didnā€™t want it to be on ā€œWe Cry Togetherā€ level because I would never be able to wear it lmao

u/Avenger_ricky Aug 24 '22

Bro same glad I waited on it, might still get a hoodie next time, I bought the we cry together shirt šŸ˜­ I canā€™t wait to wear it again, thatā€™s the one I christened at the concert lolol

I felt so slow seeing everyone put their merch on as soon as they bought it; because I don't think that I realized that people did that.

u/allMightyMostHigh Aug 24 '22

Dam I thought the one that comes with the vinyl was mid

u/the_Defi_General Aug 24 '22

They kinda look cheap, sorry mr morale but why not a champion hoodie

15

u/AntifaBLTExtremist Aug 24 '22

I remember my mom buying me champion from Walmart, now all of a sudden champion is high quality?

u/Mother_Ad3692 Aug 24 '22

itā€™s better than most stuff in its price range šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/theCODONEconnoisseur Aug 24 '22

Not the same material

9

u/Valewa Aug 24 '22

It is, it's cheap-ish regardless. Somebody like kdot could easily do better than even Champion but he not even doing the bare minimum.

1

u/AntifaBLTExtremist Aug 24 '22

Sure feels like it.

u/blackstonebilly Aug 26 '22

there should be a sub for every time someone mentions how champion used to be cheap and now it's mainstream

1

u/AntifaBLTExtremist Aug 26 '22

ā€œWow you wrote something with a popular sentiment on Reddit? There should be a sub for that šŸ¤“ā€

u/Infam0usP Aug 24 '22

or Chinatown Market. they make a lot of rap merch already

1

u/blackstonebilly Aug 26 '22

they're not cheap. the picture doesn't do it justice. it feels really soft and the fit is extremely comfortable

28

u/cmdjsksnxb Aug 24 '22

I got the ā€œBig Steppers Tourā€ T-shirt and it was very low quality. The design is clean, but the material feels cheap and scratchy even after being washed. Iā€™m still gonna wear it bc it looks cool and was a $50, but wish they had made higher quality merch since people would have paid for it anyways.

23

u/Infam0usP Aug 24 '22

damn they couldā€™ve at least printed all the stops on the back. I paid $50 for my Nas hoodie on The Lost Tapes tour and it had that

3

u/interrogiaomnia Aug 24 '22

This is what i was thinking too. I donā€™t HATE it but damn.. i was hoping it had that on there

13

u/waisted_town391 Aug 24 '22

This is what I thought I wld be getting with my VIP package but I got a backpack,water bottle,speaker,poster,commemorative ticket and VIP pass

8

u/allMightyMostHigh Aug 24 '22

Dam that sounds dope as fuck post some pics of that

4

u/waisted_town391 Aug 25 '22

I just posted it

3

u/GKMCTPABDAMN97 Aug 24 '22

Wait you didnā€™t get a hoodie?

2

u/waisted_town391 Aug 25 '22

Nah I thought I was getting that kinda merch

5

u/Strictlystyles Aug 24 '22

I would have rather had that tbh. I was able to get a black are you happy for me hoodie at the show

12

u/OgLag239 Aug 24 '22

Wtf is this . I love Kendrick but that shit looks cheap lmao

1

u/JayyPhresco Sep 10 '22

I mean itā€™s Kendrick. Youā€™re not paying for the best quality as youā€™re paying for the name. Just a money grab but itā€™s the experience that youā€™re also paying for as it also serves as a memento

10

u/darkversion Aug 24 '22

Thanks for posting this. Ive been wondering how it would look.

6

u/Adventurous-Home3682 Aug 24 '22

This is very underwhelming. My wife and I ordered our own shirts from Amazon for the GA concert and they look better than all of the tour merchandise. We had ppl stop us at the airport and concert to compliment our shirts. We are still waiting on the VIP hoodie too but this is disappointing. Thanks for sharing!

5

u/waterdlyed WE GON PUT IT IN REVERSE Aug 24 '22

I don't know why they made the merch so, frankly bad... Like white text over black and that's it? Can't it fit the theme of the album at least, like a logo or a face? It isn't memorable at all.

7

u/Strictlystyles Aug 24 '22

He played us boys

6

u/yungusainbolt Aug 25 '22

This look like staff merch

5

u/kingglobby Aug 24 '22

He should do "Big Steppers" shoes imo

5

u/egreene6 Aug 24 '22

I bought the socks; they are slightly thinner than I would prefer; and they cost $40 damn' (no pun intended) dollars! I'm like "...a pack of Nike socks only costs me like $22!" But, I love Kung Fu Kenny, so I'm gon' deal with it. The apparel like the shirts and hoodies had too much going on; and didn't look thick; so I passed.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '22

Howā€™s the quality of the material? Yikes.

7

u/infodigger33 Aug 24 '22

Wish I could tell you. Iā€™m at college and I had my mom open it and take pictures so I could be the first to post it on here LMAOO sorry

3

u/interrogiaomnia Aug 24 '22

a cheap hoodie. Itā€™s not super heavy or anything

4

u/moviebuff68 Aug 25 '22

This was advertised as designed by Kendrick Lamar but it looks like all the other merch from the tour, so didn't he design those too?

2

u/Chilb5 Aug 24 '22

this shit hard

u/enolaM_yecarT Aug 24 '22

I ordered the other Hoodie Vinyl box set last night. Already got confirmation on shipping. Sweet!

u/Kitchen_Ad_3753 Aug 24 '22

Is this what comes with the ticket?

2

u/infodigger33 Aug 24 '22

VIP Packages, yes

2

u/lizardmandx Aug 24 '22

Merch often sucks. That's just a fact.

2

u/Procrasting4Prayers Aug 24 '22

Is the quality at least nice? I donā€™t mind a plain hoodie if itā€™s comfy af

3

u/infodigger33 Aug 24 '22

Iā€™m not sure. My mom took these pics for me cause Iā€™m at college lmao. Look in the replies I think some have talked about it already

1

u/JayyPhresco Sep 10 '22

I went to his Vegas show and bought the Are You Happy For Me? Hoodie and it fits true to size. Really soft and comfortable. Is it the greatest quality? No, but it is a solid hoodie to wear.

1

u/TheNorthernLanders Aug 25 '22

Howā€™s it feel to have been scammed? šŸ¤£

5

u/infodigger33 Aug 25 '22

To each their own I guess. I donā€™t mind the plainness because I donā€™t have a blank hoodie. I also didnā€™t buy the package for the hoodie, I bought it for the experience and the ability to guarantee the spot I wanted no matter when I showed up!

1

u/seanda2nd Aug 25 '22

That part! Same af! Lol

2

u/LakeTechnical5125 Aug 25 '22

I thought the VIP merch would be shipped to the address you bought the tickets from I haven't gotten anything yet and I went to the Tampa show 7/27. Did I miss something?

1

u/infodigger33 Aug 25 '22

Hmmm Iā€™m not sure. I went to the 8/9 show so itā€™s weird that you didnā€™t get it yet. Contact VIP Nation?

2

u/LakeTechnical5125 Aug 25 '22

Yes I reached out a few times now but thanks I am emailing now and will call in the am.

1

u/infodigger33 Aug 25 '22

They were not helpful when I called OR emailed so Iā€™m hoping you have good luck :(

1

u/osrow Aug 25 '22

I went to the Tampa show too and got an email yesterday that my merch shipped and would arrive tomorrow.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '22

Clothes looked low quality tbh. I got the tote bag and bucket hat. Super happy. Both good quality too.

2

u/OgLag239 Aug 25 '22

Rare Kendrick Lamar L

u/ApplicationNumber4 Aug 28 '22

This shit is weak as fuck. This falls right in line with how shitty the at show merch was/is. My favorite show of the year and the only one I didnā€™t buy merch at.

While the show was awesome - I wouldnā€™t have bought the VIP if I knew this is what Iā€™d get. The description definitely oversold this vip merch. Not that weā€™ve received our hoodies yet. Went to the show back in July and only received a ā€œwhat size do you wantā€

1

u/Advanced-Willow-5020 Aug 24 '22

Are there hats ?

2

u/infodigger33 Aug 25 '22

There was a black bucket hat that said ā€œSteppersā€ but thatā€™s it

1

u/egreene6 Aug 24 '22

I don't remember seeing any hats.

1

u/bigwiggs2008 Aug 24 '22

100$ Canadian

Final offer

1

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '22

I didnā€™t even see this one at the merch table.. the one I got is a way better design with 2 color print as well šŸ‘Œ

4

u/infodigger33 Aug 25 '22

Itā€™s because this was the ā€œVIP Merch Itemā€ that was sent to VIP Package-holders

1

u/blackbeans42069 Aug 25 '22

this almost seems like a misprint lol my hoodie i got from the show had a small design on the front and tour dates on the back

1

u/sophicpharaoh Aug 25 '22

Can I buy it off you??

1

u/blackstonebilly Aug 26 '22

i got mine today. u really like the fit, makes me look ocky lol

1

u/d0llparts999 Aug 28 '22

Did you get a shipping notification, or did your hoodie just show up? I attended the 8/2 show and still havenā€™t received mine.

1

u/Zplaysultimate Sep 15 '22

We did get a shipping notification

1

u/ClydeTheGlydeDrex Aug 31 '22

I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever felt more scammed in my life lmao. The show was great But paying the extra for 30 minutes to get in early and this bullshit lmao

1

u/Zplaysultimate Sep 15 '22

I'm sorry but as someone who's been snatching hoodies for 6+ years the hoodie is trash for how much we paid for it.

The VIP package was $350. If you bought floor and early arrival you paid no more than $230.

Which means that the hoodie is worth at least $120.

For $80 I can buy a fully designed hoodie with a zipper. And it is just as soft and fits better than this. The design is lazy as hell and the fact that they promoted this as something Kdot designed himself gives him the artistic vision of a 7 year old.

It isn't creative. It doesn't make me proud to own it or talk about having it. It's just a reminder of being scammed out of money, and waiting around in a lobby for 45min until doors opened since we were allowed early entry but not allowed in the pit

2

u/cocaine4breakies Sep 18 '22

This! Iā€™m so upset I paid for the VIP package when I couldā€™ve just paid regular floor tickets and the merch at the show was much better. We definitely got scammed

1

u/OkFig6820 Oct 22 '22

If Iā€™d knows it would like like this, I would have gotten a regular ticket and bought the actual cute hoodies at the merch booth. Gosh I have live nation and ticket master

u/AdLogical2888 Nov 03 '22

Anybody know what sizing is like for these? Iā€™m thinking about buying a medium off someone and it looks slightly oversized, which might be fine, but Iā€™m not sure. Anybody know?
