These are the strange, nuanced parts I love about streetwear: the personality, the community, the game. Today, mainstream fashion has absorbed so much of streetwear’s cultural roots and churned it into a processed, profitable trend. I’m not a fashion guy, and I’m not really into this current wave. Instead, I care most about the creation and commentary. There’s an entire generation of kids today who are into this stuff but are ignorant of its history. The sad part is it’s not by their own volition. There’s a real thirst and desire out there to learn more. The youth are smart. They know there’s something missing. They know it can’t just be all about flipping Yeezys and Supreme.
