anyone who uses the term "streetwear" is either a 40 year old journalist for entertainment weekly or what we used to call a hypebeast.
That doenst make any sense, Streetwear brands are what they are called so how does that make you a hypebeast:confused:?explain.

before the marketing term "streetwear" they were just called boutique labels or just clothing lines. its only when they exploded onto the internet that it became branded a specific strain of fashion. just like how "hypebeast" was a term used to describe kids who took themselves too seriously because of their clothes, but now its become a throwaway term like "alternative music".

anyone who uses the term "streetwear" is either a 40 year old journalist for entertainment weekly or what we used to call a hypebeast. stayin fresh is one thing, and stayin ahead of the "popularity curve" has always been a lil game played amongst friends for props, and we've all been about that since day 1. but yall tryin to make it a science and sh!t are just corny as all hell.
Never knew you were a hypebeast if you used the term streetwear, considering thats what its called

With jeans I just stay on my shrink-to-fit Levi's sh*t, might get a pair of 10 Deep jeans, I dotn really understand the hype over Greedy Genius jeans and copping BBC jeans is dumb as f*ck to me, i'll admit thats wack..

[TheT Organization]

I've been rocking dunks since 04...I got too many nikes now (and sneakers in general) and realized it's too much money and too much time.


I love the streetwear ish...but I'm simply trying to make money at this point in time through actually getting sh!t printed and selling them instead of buying other peoples ish. Which is pretty much what I spent most of last year getting together. The game's just too open now to not get involved in some way shape or form.

[Hall0w]

Bump for fun.

[Bones_Justice]

:gag:

[young north]

i know what bape did, and it didnt impact the game. But that sh1t is trash ugly, all all-over print hoodies are trash. And theres so many nikkas out here rockin fake bapes it discustin how could you say LA didnt start streetwear culture when we got
Lrg
Diamond supply (creator of the tiffany dunks)
crooks and castles
Orisue
stussy
the hundreds
3sixteen
rogue status
HUF
TRIUMVIR
we are the mecca of this sh1t fam, if you dont believe it then i dont know what to tell you. 95% Of the major streetwear brands are from out here
I'll give u 10deep, they sh1t is hot mishka fell the fukk off tho
:laugh::laugh::laugh: nikka i'm not broke, far from it actually, if you saw my sneaker game and denim and apparel you would take back that comment. if if bbc was actually appealing to me id drop 90 for a tee.

Stussy fell off

[Drebk]

Stussy fell off

I went looking at there new stuff man it doesnt even sell... Shiit on on sale... Supreme dont even carry their ****, stussy stuff was on sale for 20 bucks at blades... Stussy is like LRG these hood azz niccas started rocking it and we were forced to give up the brand... Thats the way it is. The hood comes, they take the brand, we move on.

To everyone i just want to bring you guys into our culture, our world, my people...

Ive been going to school in DT Manhattan alllllll my life, I Want to share with you whats its like. Everyone i chill with we are good kids and young adults, we go to school, we skate everyday, we chill, and we work hard for the things we have. There are certain things that makes our culture unique. What brands/Clothes we wear is part of it. I remember meeting my best friend back in 2003 and him taking me to the boutiques to shop for gear every weekend, everyone was an individual in a way. I remember rocking my fitted jeans, my colorful shirts and fitteds and dudes strait cracking on me behind my back here in BK. On some "This nicca gay, look at this kicks wtf colorful ass nicca." Like that...

I remember being ashamed to walk down my block with my skateboard, "This nicca think he white, he gay" The ignorance was terrible. Now in 2008 its the ultimate slap to the face, All these niccas is now coming up to me everyday "Yo where yo cop this, where u cop that" "yo teach me how to skate please." Yeah that shiit right there burns our souls, its spitting on our culture for sure. When i was rocking stussy, supreme, LRG dudes didnt even know what that stuff was, dudes was still rocking sean jean, pelle, pepe and all that other stuff. Now all of a sudden these dudes what to jump on our culture when back in the day they was shiitin on us... Anything the hood niqqas get there hands on we discard it we dont want it anymore... They ruin the brands, change the looks, and ruin the meaning behind our clothes... For example, dudes rocking SB's and not even realizing what SB stands for... :rolleyes: All my friends who was once deep into the fashion and the culture gave it up, everyones listening to lupe and pharrell and want to dress like them, basically everyone i see now walks around looking like clones... its sad. Dudes walking around in downtown with SB's matching shirt and matching skate deck with no scratches, and CLEAN wheels. Its disgusting, the culture is now lost. :gag:

I'm feeeling what your saying in the bolded. Truth.

After reading this story....we actually share alot in common. The only difference is me not being from NYC.


I was rocking skate gear from CCS catalogs and ish as far back as 1995. Before pac sun became popular. Heads would always give me the "wanna be white boy" sh!t, and I wouldn't pay them any mind cause I felt like I was just being me. But then again, I was skateboarding since the days when the boards were huge in the early nineties...when I used to rock neon shorts, but that's another story.

It's just bugged to see all these heads get up on all of that stuff when five years ago (let alone a decade ago when you could only find out about that stuff through skate magazines), they were hating on it hardcore! It's even more bugged to me because I'm entering the thick of my twenties and people are getting with skateboarding and streetwear just as a passing trend...not because they're genuinely into it. This just leads to more posers, but it's the 00s...being a poser is what's cool.

[TheT Organization]

We've been rockin dunks and sb's since the late 90's early 00's



Sb's weren't around until 2002. Unless your talking about pro bs...but those were limited.

The ignorance of ethic people is amazing, mix ignorance with racism and u have idiots. seriously... 1 year ago i started stretching my ears, because i loved the look of it, and the fact that its part of African culture was a huge plus for me, there was a lot more behind just being a look it shows patients among many other things anyway, I found it extremely ironic how blacks and minorities till this day will come up to me and say "What are you trying to be white, stretched ears is trying to be white." I hear this a couple times a month... Blacks/other minorities dont even realize the origin of ear stretching is African culture the people who practice this know the origin. point is i will give my life that in a couple months maybe years those same fools will come up to me asking me how i stretched my ears etc. Its already started, i had a girl from my hood tell me she wanted to do it begging me fore info. Just funny how people follow like sheep in the hood watch all of them start streching. :rolleyes:

[Drebk]

Sb's weren't around until 2002. Unless your talking about pro bs...but those were limited.

yeah i got my first pair in 2003 maybe, when we were getting them it was fairly new. i remember skating my SB's out thats what we all did, supreme at one point was only selling the SB's to us skate kids. If you were some hood trash kid coming in the store like "yo son yo son, lemmi get those SB's they go with my fitted." Niccas was telling you "sorry we dont have your size" I remember this. :laugh: They did this for a while till dudes started complaining and it was bad for store policy ya know. But it was good, giving the SB's to people who were going to put them to use, and not up on ebay or try to resell for mad dough.

[Da Boy Junior]

that story basically summed up everything for me aswell

The same nikkas who clowned me back in the day for what i wore are now asking me where i got my sh1t.

That's true..alot of people forget that ear stretching began with African culture. But you can't blame em for being ignorant. Most black people/prs/etc tend to associate that stuff with white people because that's probably who they tend to see rocking that at first glance. It's only when you delve deeper into certain things that you realize everyone's doing it. I was skating back in the days when being a black person on a skateboard was an anomaly or an automatic call to have your black card revoked..lol....but even back then in the early nineties, you could look at tons of videos and magazines and see that everyone was into it and you didn't have one type of skateboarder. It wasn't about trends back then, it was about doing something you were into and truly enjoyed. To me, it still is.

I guess maybe everyone else hopping on the skate bandwagon is a good thing, because it just brings more people into it who would of never been exposed otherwise.

Ahh..the first generation series.... Before, I knew that nike was getting into the skate shoe game, and I didn't pay it any mind. I was still rocking Ipaths and Lakais at the time. I had some DCs and Es's too from 98-99 tha people just looked at like :ohmy:

Before that point in time, my memories of nike getting into the skateboarding game were limited to a 1999 ad saying "what if all athletes were treated like skateboarders" lined up with an ugly pair of kicks and Bam Margera on the team. The only other time I saw Nike SBs after that were the supreme highs, and I remember my boy Tybo had a pair of the Jedi's in 04 and I was just shook... shook!

Now, I have about 17 pairs of dunks alone, and 8 other pairs of sbs, and a whole lot of sneaks and very little room for more.

today i notice kids skate for a status symbol, really half of them cant even skate, they just walk with the board to look "cool" Until i see them skate 100 blocks like i do daily they posers to me. I had a girl in my English class ask me if i really knew how to skate, i was gonna smack her, i said to her how the fuk u think i got here... Its really lupe and pharrells fault, tony hawk put them on blast a while back. They turned skating into a hip hop trendy thing, for this reason everyone wants to skate, i skate cause it feels good and it saves me gas on some days when driving, parking etc isnt an option. These kids use their boards as a means of a fashion statement or to show false pride i hope it ends soon, i really hate being called a poser just because im black and i carry a board. People tend to put u in that category if they dont know you right away. My best friend was signed a couple years ago, i chill with real niccas so if anyone has anything to say ill 360 flip for them just to get them off me dik.

Word. I feel you on that! Especially about people putting you in a category. Ever since The X-Games, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Jackass, Lupe, Pharell, and Rob and Big...everyone wants to be a skater! I was talking about this with my boy yesterday. He's 30 and we were rapping about how skaters were treated like outcasts back in the day. And it was true. I think the turning point for me was when I saw peeps in my HS rocking Independent gear and they didn't know they made trucks. Or what trucks were for that matter. Sh!t...me and my friends are grown ass men still skating after all these years...if it wasn't for skateboarding and music for me, I'd be getting into a lot of trouble.

Now everyone wants to be a skater...or atleast just wear the clothes. They don't wanna get hurt!

Skatedeck new- Clean wheels and deck
Usually with a crew of dudes who look just like each other- CLONES!
Will hold their boards by the trucks and try to be cool

REAL
Usually skating past you
Wearing what ever- Usually not the cleanest look
Board trashed to hell
Rolls with individuals- NOT CLONES!
