While the verdict is still out on whether or not the ladies still Love Cool James, the kids for damn sure don’t. After just one year of his new youth inspired clothing line being in stores, rumors are beginning to spread that Sears has dropped the line from it’s retail store.
More details after the jump.
Per Wooha:
A source at the apparel buying department at Sears has exclusively revealed to us that the LL Cool J clothing line is indeed shutting down due to a lack of sales and forced cutbacks from the Recession. We got the drop way back in February but WORD ON THE STREET is now it looks like it’s official.
The benefit to the consumer though is that Sears is drastically cutting prices of all LL Cool J branded apparel from 50%-75% off to clear all existing in-store inventory.
But not so fast. Sear’s released a statement yesterday regarding the rumor and here’s what they have to say:
Sears values its partnership with LL Cool J and will continue its commitment to providing the LL Cool J collection to its customers, both in-store and online. The collection is characterized as affordable, iconic apparel for the family and represents an important breakout brand in Sears’ wide assortment of tees, denim and hoodies.
Clearly everybody can’t produce a successful clothing situation. Poor James. I wonder what this means for his Todd Smith collection?
