Fraggle Rock Doc and Sprockets workshop shirt

Product Description

Fraggle Rock Doc and Sprockets workshop shirt RBC produces its merch via Everpress, an online retailer that allows individuals to upload designs and sell stock on a made-to-order basis. Gaia Di Siena, senior brand marketing manager at Everpress, says sport has long been a recurring theme, but describes a recent “phenomenon” of “run-themed” T-shirts, with many promoting completely fictitious clubs. “I’m not surprised as running is arguably the activity [that] anyone is getting into right now,” she says, noting how designs available on Everpress tend to “mirror what is currently relevant in culture and society”. Hobson believes that fashion and running have always “coexisted”, pointing to the current ubiquity of New Balance’s 990 trainer, which was originally released in 1982 as a running shoe. But also that the sport’s recent rise in the style stakes has pushed prices up, making people feel that they need to spend lots of money to be involved. That said, anything that gets people running is good. “If it means more people feel like there’s a look for them, and they can go running and feel comfortable in an aesthetic they’re chasing, then go for it.”

I search for Fraggle Rock Doc and Sprockets workshop shirt the vest on the Shein website – it takes me a few tries to find the right listing among dozens of similar products – and look at the reviews. Thousands of customers leave five stars for the vest. “The item is exactly like in the photo and the material is a bit thin but I like it,” writes one girl. In her three attached photos, she covers her face with her phone. On screen, at half an inch wide, the sweater looks cute and comfortable, a thing designed to be worn in photos, sold on the basis of a largely computer-generated image. The reviews are typical for a Shein item. Customers add photos of themselves, holding phone cameras to mirrors to capture their outfits. Every image is a selfie. “OBSESSED!!!!” they write, adding: “(likes are appreciated <3).” Likes are a currency, convertible into Shein points. Posting a review earns five points, a review with pictures earns 10, and a review with size information earns an additional two. Every dollar spent on Shein earns a point, and every 100 points turns back into a dollar. The economy flourishes: “Please like I need points to buy this in a different colour.” “Please LIKE MY REVIEW and help your broke girl out. (Sorry I can’t post wearing the items- broke shoulder – thanks for understanding!)” “Absolutely in love with these pants wearing them right now super cute please like I’m broke LOL.” “(pls like I need points).”
