Black Lives Matter, Streetwear Perspective

Due to the recent events and protests worldwide in regards to the Black Lives Matter movement, protests have resulted in looting of small businesses. One of them being Round Two. Round Two is a popular streetwear resale store off Melrose in Los Angeles, California. They have built a culture starting in VA and taking over 3 shop spaces in LA. Bobby Kim- someone who I reference a lot as his views are very interesting posted this as his store the hundreds was in the middle of the police throwing teargas bombs, a very meta concept as his logo is the atom bomb. Virgil Abloh, the creative director of LV also commented on the looting of Round Two, although recently he was caught in a social media fire when posting only $50 to donations (although he did donate more, just had posted one from a chain of donations), while his company is worth 11 Million GBP.
