OFFICIAL Hypebeasts Thread

We can only wish!

I haven't, personally, been "about that life" for a long time -but damn if I don't still get the gut reaction, adrenaline-fueled, desire to pull the jux when I see the teenybopper HBs on the train flossing. ...Like, if this was '99, this dude sitting across from you with loafers, khakis, and a peacoat would have been right next to you, whispering in your ear with the ox on you, right in this crowded subway car. ...Don't say nothing, give me your phone and wallet and leave the bag on the floor, and get off at the next stop.

But, then I have to remind myself that I'm a grown, professional with a whole lot to lose and I go back to listening to NPR podcasts on my iPhone. The thing is, it ain't even about the money - it's about the principle.

...Every last one of them would snitch to the cops anyway. Their parents would drive them down to the precinct in the 2013 minivan to file a report.

@Bip, you ever think about writing?! **** was crazy descriptive lol i feel like just got robbed on the subway after reading that !

Thanks for the kind words, bro.

Actually, I do write professionally.

I work in communications for a global health non-profit and I write a lot of materials, news releases, by-lined articles, publications, website content, etc. for them.

I also write for a fairly well known baseball/fantasy baseball website.

I grew up in NYC in the 80s/90s, I think I'll trust my instincts of who is and who isn't a threat on mass transit. But, thanks for the warning.

Ran across this and made me chuckle....

Caption read: "holds on I gots a foamscall"

People we got to do better... I know we all have a mutual admiration for kicks but the extraness has to stop!

 

[vietster]

no shots at anyone...but why does it seem that most of the hypebeast are asians?

but the dude in all white with the 4's had me 

Most of the recent ones posted in this thread aren't Asian. But from what I gather from these pics and see in real life, most hypebeasts are either fat or ugly...or both.

Looks normal to me.
Maybe the red pants pic n the dude in the bang bang Gucci. But Norms.

i guess thats why hypebeasting is usually synonymous with overcompensating..

@ the tee.

WOW is this serious?! OMG the money these parents are dropping on their kids!

 

[supere14]

Wow, I'm shocked that kid's parents would buy him Yeezy's. 

 

[ksteezy]

@ the tee.

i dont really ride with BIP, but i have to cosign that times have changed for the better for these kids, back in the 90's these kids wouldnt be caught dead walking around in these shoes....these sneaker-con conventions wouldnt even exist because kids would be getting dropped right outside with the quickness.

 

[water]

Who are these kids. I'm seeing the same ones on every page of this thread. Are they twitter or instagram famous. Seriously.

[ksteezy]

i know, but it was on a whole other level back then...only difference was, not as many were actually getting killed, but excessive beatdowns, and razorblades to the face were plenty.
