4 rich friends take a picture, not a single pair of Jordans in sight

[Scustin Bieburr]

nikkas and their love for these 80s/90s drug dealers that helped destroy black america

Whered they get the drugs? Magic? Whered they get guns? The gun fairy?

Read up on what the govt was doing in the 1970s and 1980s.

Thats because this picture is old as fukking dirt

No it's not, are you 10?

 

[Yo Mama]

Owning my own spot at an early age probably saved me from my own consumerism. It turned me into a cheapskate of sorts.

I was my own buyer and having to go to low end and high end vendors and those in-between showed me a lot...

I'd be in there selling "blingy" stuff while wearing simple chinos, shirt, sneakers and blazers. And I'd see the amount women spent to have a new outfit at the club/party/church next week. Of course I wanted their dollars so I just smilled and offered to ring up their stuff.

Yep. Once I started getting name brand shoes I had to have them. They were either my first or second pair of Nikes ever. Had to go through my Payless shoe phase for a lil bit before I got there tho

 

[Legal]

nikka what?

Basically

People wore a variety of kicks...plus a pair of J's might have gotten your ass killed in 1991

I remember because I wanted them as a kid and my folks were like NOPE!!

I don't know if it was like this everywhere, but least where I grew up, the threat of getting you shyt ran forced variety and inventiveness into a lot of fits. Plenty a breh wanted a Starter jacket or some Jordans and got rejected because their parents thought they were going to get fukked up over them.

Just getting a Jansport in 1991 was a big deal for me...and even that was an issue because of Jansport strings

Dudes were getting jumped, fukked up, all sorts of shyt for them strings

A kid rolling around with dumb strings on his Jansport in Flatbush in the 1990's meant:

1. Dude got the protection for such endeavors. Older brothers or cousins that will fukk YOU up if you take his strings.

2. You run nikkas for their strings on the bus or the train or the courts or schoolyard

[CrimsonTider]

Street fashion used to be so innovative man... long ago

Streetwear is much more diverse now

 

[SNYC]

Before the Jordan craze, there was more brands being worn...Fila, Reebok, Nike, Asics, Converse, Adidas, Puma, British Knights, LA Gear, etc

*Edit* shout-out to my classmate that wore LA Gear & was clowned all semester

The memories of HS!!!

It was the 90s version of snatching Lee patches

Securing your bag by putting an arm strap on the seat pole in class

Years later, Jansport re-designed the strings

What year was this?

diverse don’t always make things better lol

 

[I Really Mean It]

Street fashion was at its peak in the early to mid 90s. It fell off after the Dipset era came to a close.
