CDixonDesign Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You were nobody unless you owned kickass basketball shoes.Had those Reeboks for basketball one year. Also had similar Jason Kidd shoes to the second posted one, I remember in 4th grade or so (IIRC) begging my Mom to buy me those things simply because of the awesome "hologram" bubble on the other side: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Bike pants under shorts. Virtually everyone I played basketball did this, right up to the mid-90s. For extra 90sness, pair with a Global Hypercolor shirt and a pair of Reebok Pumps...He looks like the son of Jerry Seinfeld and Kramer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAstrodome Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Charlotte was shiz team to wear in the 90's along with the Bulls and Raiders. And the And 1 shirts, I saw those everywhere in the late 90's to early 00's. And that Taz and Bugs shirt was heavily bootlegged at hair care stores with one of the fakes adding Sylvester. My brother owned Dream Team and Rockets versions of the caricature shirts. As for Basketball shoes I had the Pump and Hakeem's Spaldings, thought I also remember classmates wearing his Etonics.And for those who remember Double Dare or Legends of the Hidden Temple...My mom once bought me these when I was on a shopping trip in Washington in the 4th grade. I was in shock the whole day.  All New: NFL RandomWebsite ★ Behance ★ Twitter ★ Geekier Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This exact hat:Where that hat was, this one was sure to follow ...I had that exact same hat. Sported it in my senior pics.I wore this hat in my senior pics, and every day of school. Except I graduated in '03 so I may have been behind the times.Back fully on topic.....These were extremely popular in my area. Everyone had at least a couple And1 trash talk shirts. I had like 8.Man, I forgot about those shirts, everybody had at least one. I think I might have even had 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Rover Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This exact hat:I would say that this style hat is still incredibly popular today. Very much still a collegiate bookstore "staple" item. I think the reason it's still around is because it's a pretty clean design that is not gaudy or defining of a particular fad or era.Also because it says "Cocks."I cant imagine a "straight" man/ guy would walk around with that on their hat like that. I mean, if your not a straight man, than enjoy. "Not that there is anything wrong with that...." But if you are "straight", than I really really just dont get it. I mean, really?????

I mean, really?????There's a long and glorious tradition of dick jokes. We couldn't afford Reebok Pumps, so I had LA Gear Regulators instead. I think Pumps pumped up the entire shoe, whereas the Regulators only inflated the tongue. Either way, they sucked and I stopped wearing them shortly after getting them. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW - I totally forgot about Regulators (mount up!)I had a few pairs of those when I was in kindergarten or so, my parents got mad at me because I kept picking the raised "REGULATOR" letters off the tongue.
