I had a NF in 99.

Yeah for real lmao.
When I was in middle school in 1997 kids were writing their names / address on the inside tags to help curb getting their shyt taken. matter fact NF was much more of a bigger deal back then than it is now from what I see. NF was the holy grail back in those days.

Late 80s

Seen a picture of Alpo & Rich and Po has some on. I’m pretty certain he didn’t start the trend and that was just the fashion at that point

Timbs were popular on the east coast meaning NYC & NJ hoods. They didnt explode until Juice movie and Epmd REdman and Das EFX all blew up in 1992 popularizing the hoodie baggie work jeans and jackets and timbs look.





These happened pretty much together and there were so many real street dudes and rappers on that Juice set that the clothes and lingo was on point for that era. Pac was rolling heavy with Treach and NJ and Queens dudes at the time.

The constructs was dope but nothing beat this look in the fall and winter:
