I'm getting one immediately

 

[Luke Cage]

People wear them skiing, and running outside when it's cold.


Only reason people say gang culture is because the model is black

That's literally all this is.

 

[SmarkMero]

Man like DT don't know about that Techwear life!

 

[Ol’Otis]

@KingBenji get the strap

 

[egg]

they look like the isis masks

 

[SeveroDrgnfli]

LOL the ski mask isn't going to make somebody want to hit a lick. People who hit licks will use it to hit licks. The average person buying a ski mask wears it because their face is cold. This is racist as fukk. I own three ski masks btw.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

It's just a ski mask though fam, what about it makes it gang like to you?

What if they used a white person to model it

i dont get it. since when were ski masks a symbol of Gang culture? Stick up kids maybe but gangs?

This is a UK thing, not a US thing.

The mask is a symbol of the current UK drill culture. CCTV cameras everywhere mean often times people are masked up from the second they leave their houses, to where rappers even hide their identities in their videos with masks because Trident (UK hip-hop police) are using youtube to make arrests.

Nike knows exactly who this mask is made for. They've been doing it for a couple seasons now with some pieces 100% road orientated but this is like the Jordan IV's of road apparell

shyt got pouches for skengsand everything

@Clapsteel O'Neal I know we copping though

Cacs don’t know shyt they just like to argue and voice their opinion if they don’t understand sumn.

 

[Rawtid]

Man, it gets brick out in the winter. This would be good for trashmen or just anyone that has to work outside.

 

[JodyHiighroller]

Got me one to match my dope man nikes

[JodyHiighroller]

@KingBenji get the strap

I need this. Where to cop?

 

[BlackPrint]

Growing up between Black and White neighborhoods I can tell you that teenagers of all ages wear balavacas.. I have no idea why.

In the hood we used to call them murda 1's

"Yo look how many bags son gettin in the store."
"Lemme get my murda 1 real fast, watch him"

Don't make assumptions it's mostly blacks upset about this actually and uk gangs have their own culture. Look at global issues from only your lens brehs
