– Roland TR-909 Jacket: $499.09
More than a contemporary drum machine? GTFO. This is one case where I positively endorse counterfeits.
I’m with you there. I’ll wait for a knock off. To heck with that pricing.
a Gucci jacket can reach 1000 €+ plus, and at the end of the day, I would still rather wear a Roland TR-909 bomber jacket than a gucci jacket, even if I could choose one for free. no doubt!
Specially like the date on the jackets. It reminds us all that there was once a time where Roland was building awesome gear.
Late stage capitalism in the drum machine world:
A beefed up 909 from behringer costs less then a jacket from roland.
“Late stage capitalism”
Cringe
There’s no way I would pay $500 for this $60 windbreaker, Jesus !
I don’t get it, why is Roland trying so hard they got nothing to prove there legacy is sealed comes off very corny like a wanna be
everything but the actual Drum Machine itself, that the public has been screaming to get remade, for over 20 years. Typical…
$499.09 a jacket? Made with gold? LOL
exactly 30 years too late haha
i would much rather wear a behringer jacket and be edgy, this stuff not even wannabee hipsters are going to buy
What makes you think that it would be “edgy”? You would just look stupid. I’d probably laugh if I’d see some tryhard wearing merch from that knock-off company.
and while you are all caught up in your irony-less selfrightious laughing you don’t even notice that in the meantime I have pasted some B-brand stickers on your modular case as well as on your car 😀
For that, you would have to buy me a modular case first. 😉
i will find your Subaru
What a f***ing farce Roland are
Behold some of the cool announcements of late:
The new ASM synths, Sequential Take 5
Whatever UDO are up to – something nice at any rate
Waldorf teasing some cool hardware…
Roland.. this absolute shite to help you look like the ultimate hipster tosser at ridiculous prices
Unbelievable
So nothing on 808 and nothing on 909 day. $499 gets you a lot of systems 1 or 8 plugouts instead of plugging into this. 🙂
A wack waste of money.
Can’t really blame Roland for this. Most people love to pay for overpriced stuff if a name or logo is on it.
People are walking around with 1000,- outfits and still look like shit. They even pay extra when there are a few holes in it as well. Thats the world we live in folks.
Why does the post not mention the 909-themed V-Moda headphones shown? At least they are somewhat related to Synthtopia.
Good point! Can’t argue with that. Great post!
Jacket or Synth?
Synth any day $500 dollars for a jacket is Money RAPE.
Cant get an abortion in Texas but can get RAPE!
I guest the Supreme apparel collection is vintage like the machines.
This is the super wanna be clothing because a real person would buy gear to make music, not show how cool it is to be a douchebag in over price clothing.
Really Roland Rape the land?
but somehow this is beyond being mad at them, it’s more like the stage when intervention is sad but necessary, like “hey Roland… we have a place you can go for a while to help you come back to reality”.
Great April 1st post…
There are a load of people who don’t check internet comments that are into this, especially old heads, otherwise Roland wouldn’t release or price this way.
Ah, *and* it’s a Supreme collaboration. Yeah, say what you want about Roland’s tech product decisions or lack thereof, this is easy brand cheese for them.
1983 Roland revolutionizes electronic music with 909 drum machine
2021 Roland makes 909 jackets
Yamaha has made clothes for years, try google “yamaha clothes” 😉
Yamaha has made motorcycles for years, try google “yamaha motorcycles” 😉
… blame me going off topic – it is a fashion site and i post about motorcycles.
looks like more than that to me -> https://shopyamaha.com/apparel-home
Yamaha make a ridiculous number of things
I say go buy a instrument make music not clothes to look cool!
Just think what one can do with $643 dollars the cost of the whole collection.
Wow Roland you get pie in your face for this one…..
How about making a complete modular synth system for that cost!
Now that’s empowerment!
They hired “malekko” to recreate their modular system 500.
They offer that but everyone denies it.
Still *grabs another pie – whoosh!*
