2024 OKC Thunder Playoffs shirt

Product Description

Merch has become 2024 OKC Thunder Playoffs shirt an integral part of the casual running club scene, with every club offering something, ranging from baseball caps to technical running jackets. Douglas and Sanders didn’t establish RBC with merch in mind, but a clear demand soon materialised. “You’re inspired by the other clubs,” says Douglas, “and there were a lot of people asking for it.” One runner told me that it’s good for members to have something to “buy into” when they join, while another admitted that she didn’t have any RBC merch, but buys whatever Your Friendly Runners produces as soon as it drops. Considering the nature of the core consumer base – young, creative, affluent, style-conscious and social media savvy – it’s perhaps unsurprising that the running club shirt has also become a marker of cool in day-to-day style. “When I wear this [RBC shirt], I feel like [there’s] something bigger, like I’m part of a tribe,” says Kyle Ayuba, 28, a designer and member of RBC, noting that he often wears it away from running. “I can wear it for sport, or for lifestyle,” he continues. “It feels very universal.”

H&M and Target were producing highly coveted designer collaborations with Alexander McQueen, Rodarte and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons. Cheap clothing chains were exploding all over the country. News articles about the industry’s growth were positive, or at least neutral: accessible, stylish clothes were seen as a common good. The rare hesitations – like a 2008 New York Times article that considered “a feeling of unease at how the ultra-cheap clothes can be manufactured” – were afforded significantly less space. The sewing bloggers, however, were already voicing their concerns. They called out the chains who ripped off styles by independent designers to a comically exact degree (clothing isn’t copyrightable under current laws, so the chains got away with it). I learned that any new clothing I could ever afford would be far from a fair price for all the skill and labour involved in its creation. Garment workers were toiling in bleak conditions, working 16-hour days, seven days a week for pennies in crumbling factories full of toxic chemicals in China, India and Vietnam; cheaper price tags pointed to worse conditions and, unimaginably, even worse pay. I also learned about the environmental costs – the oil to run the equipment, the fa
