I'm a Member of the Billionaire Boys Club! (But what is it?)

Billionaire Boys Club is a clothing brand established by Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes in collaboration with Nigo, who is best known for his brand A Bathing Ape. Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream are produced in limited numbers on purpose in Japan, and only available from a handful of retailers around the world. Billionaire Boys Club is also based in line with Ice Cream Footwear, a brand of shoe designed by Pharrell and produced by Reebok. Like A Bathing Ape, Billionaire Boys Club clothing and Ice Cream footwear are often counterfeited. The brand suffered many setbacks after its original conception after disputes between Pharrell Williams and Reebok. Reebok was originally set to release the clothing line alongside the Ice Cream sneaker line. Although the sneakers made it, the clothing line was postponed and all projects came to an end in late 2004/early 2005. It was at the very end of 2005 when the brand was finally launched as a sister company to A Bathing Ape. A flagship store exists in Japan and Hong Kong, with hand picked retailers from the US, Canada and Europe able to sell items in their stores. Aside from the clothing line, BBC (billionaire boys club), Pharrell has also created his own skateboard team to gain street credibility. The team is called “Team Ice Cream”; they have been creating several videos and are currently working with Tony Hawk in hopes of joining the X Games tour. Pharrell feels that being associated with the X Games will allow for his team to be noticed and help with the promotion of his clothing line. His clothing line entails everything from shoes, jeans, t-shirts, polo’s, sweatshirts, and jackets.

Top Shoes and Clothing Lines


Here's my list of the top shoes and clothing lines out:

1.Air force one's-A classic shoe. A color way for basically every outfit you have.What's not to love?Seriously if you tell me 10 things bad with af1's I'll give you some kind of prize.

2.Jordan- Their clothing and shoes are always hot, and probably always will be. Their line of retro shoes are favorites of new school and old school people.They can sell knapsacks at $20 and nobody thinks that is outrageous! If that isn't a sign of success I don't know what is.

3.Bape- I'm sure this will cause some kind of controversy somewhere. Either way Bape's are in the top 3 no matter what! You can't teell me that their way of limiting all of their shoes and clothes haven't put them in high demand. You know it's succesful when even all of their fakes(aka Fapes) are still praised!


4.Artful Dodger- Their crazy color patterns are kind of like how Bape limits their shoes. It makes them hot!

5.Lrg- I don't even need to say anything about this company.Everybody knows about them. If you don't know the n Google them.I'm sure you'll like them.

Who to look out for- Greedy Genius
BBC
AKOO(T.I. 's new clothing line)
