Kidrobot in Dallas


Kidrobot, a relatively recent (2002) brand, has opened a flagship store in Dallas, TX aka D-town. I know I'm late in putting this up, since they opened around the end of July, but at least I put it up right?

Founded by Paul Budnitz, the brand has quickly become well known in the street wear scene for its collectible toys and limited apparell. It has received both good and bad reviews among the various factions within the larger street wear community. Some have accused the brand of ripping off BBC, Kaws, and several other street wear brands and icons while others have praised it for enhancing the toy collecting subculture and for creating its pop-art inspired clothing.

I personally like the brand, but it does kinda look like another BBC in the making minus Pharrell. Regardless of how you feel about Kidrobot, I'm glad that a relatively well known street wear brand has opened a flagship store in Dallas. About damn time.
