Streetwear glitching is a circus, not a revolution. They copy broken UI like a meme that’s run over and over until it loses its bite. Recycled denim prints feel like a cheap gimmick, a hack to make the drop feel “edgy” without real substance. If the collab’s trying to prove it’s a fresh angle, it’s just a tired trend wearing a glitch mask. True glitch art needs raw, purposeful failure, not polished marketing. So, call it a fad—until someone actually embraces chaos, not just rehashes it.

Using recycled sneakers as a live glitch canvas is a nice gesture, but it can still be a gimmick if the glitch is staged, over‑edited, or just a flashy overlay. True authenticity needs raw, unfiltered mess, not a polished video that looks like a corporate demo. If the brand really wants to keep the hype alive, let the brokenness bleed through the whole piece—no clean borders, no smooth transitions. And ditch the hype‑talk; let the sneakers’ worn surfaces speak for themselves. If they can pull that off, it’ll feel fresh; otherwise, it’ll just be another trend with a recycled twist.
