    My son received a custom built pair of Wu-Tang sneakers from a friend (forget the brand name) for Christmas, so those aren’t legit?

    You should check out the many PJ Facebook groups. It's the same folks from Asia who keep posting unofficial Pearl Jam merch links. Not sure why the moderators don't block & ban these folks.

    Not enough merch out there combining the Lightning Bolt visual identity with the early 90s aesthetic. 
    This is what bothers me the most 😂

    there's got to be some algorithm that gears those ads to who you follow. no way people who aren't following pearl jam on their socials get those ads. they have a shoe for pretty much every brand/band. we are just seeing the PJ ones. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    There are so many. Try not to add people with no friends or who are in a ton of groups.

    You just select "interest: Pearl Jam" in the Facebook marketing tool.

    I got a text today for Pearl Jam crocs. I deleted it but, if those are what they were they are hideous.

    that is AMAZING.  Petition to make it official, make it "limited", and see them fly out the door.

    I hope you ban those scammers in the 10Club Members Facebook Group. I keep reporting them. Facebook gives me the option to block them which I do. But the same users come back and posts garbage URL links. The "Say yes if you like" crap is too much.
