oh we talking about ANOTHER instance of mainstream ripping off skateboard culture

oh we talking about ANOTHER instance of mainstream ripping off skateboard culture

I think that whole ripping off skateboard culture became prominent during the early streetwear days. Hip hop has always had their identity. If anything they more overlap instead of rip off. Their like cousin rebellious cultures.

I was 14 wearing xxxl jerseys and size 38 unk nba jeans. As long as I had a belt I could fit em so I thought.

I’m 30 and wear a damn 32... ridiculous.

That's actually not that bad bro.

When I think of OD baggy I would say when the south started running rap and as someone said Soulja Boi that Oh video was next level height of baggy.

I think like when Jay and the Roc were wearing baggy clothes, along with 50 around Get Rich, the bagginess was okay, but the tall tees took it to the next level.

I never rocked with the tall tees, but I am tall so my white tee had to be XL-2XL for length.

Edit - what kicks are those Olympic 7's?

Edit again - damn missed the sunset park shout out. My grandmother lived right across the street from that big church on 60th street and I think 3rd ave not sure. My cousin's grew up out there, but they've all done moved to Florida and sh... on NY now

Fat asses flourished in this era
Now fat people think they should be wearing tapered jeans

Were the fat cats really flourishing? Seemed like you'll skinny to average cats were scooping up their clothes.

Did they really have 6XL+ tee shirts and size 55+ jeans for them to rock the over sized look?

 

[Top Boy]

The oversized era had our more weight inclined bredren moving around out here with plausible deniability

The end of the era made it impossible to hide the pear shaped body types

 

[finessence]

You could use just 3 of our shirts, to cover 50 tables in a banquet hall, smh

My dawg Rudolph had on TWO tall T’s, . TWO!!!
