ASKED 25 BLACK people to name an old clothing brand that had the community in a chokehold

i dont know about south pole...that was for us brokies who couldnt afford shit. it was damn near a knockofff brand
ecko was more of a white dude brand
kswiss? nigga please...nobody wore that shit
 
Avirex, Mecca, Triple5Soul, Enyce, Ecko, Phat Farm, Helly Hansen, LRG, Parasucos, BOSS, Timberland, Starter jackets, Triple F.A.T Gooses, Gore Tex

Back when most of them were only available in mom & pop clothing stores.
Avirex , vanson, racing jackets, coogi , iceberg were worn by some people..always got to remember lots of of people couldn’t afford that.. especially if you start going to certain regions.. so why you have to kinda exclude them
 
FUBU, Sean John, Rocawear was expected.

But the rest of that list must be in the South or Midwest. Southpole?! K Swiss?! :oops:

I couldn’t afford 80% of my list. I used to make $3.50p/hr in high school. But I remember everyone else wearing them. I was a $20-30 Mecca shirt, Sean Jean or generic baggy jeans no logos with timbs or gore Tex boots or random AirMaxs type. Fresh haircut made up for everything back then.

Avi , coogi and Ice?. Damn bruh you had a corporate job as a youngin. But for real though us Southern cats didn't know about those until we heard NY hip hop like Big mention them or cats from NY move down bottom and rock at school
 
Karl Kani and Srarter Jackets. I was the first in high school to rock the Chicago Black Hawks starter, everyone else had the Bulls
 
Karl Kani
Timbs (should have been 1-8)
Apple Bottoms
Girbaud
Dope Boy Nikes aka Gangsta' Nikes
Skidz
Cross Colors

Man, this poll must have been 25 black people from Princeton!

:lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Man most of us couldn't afford that shit but Burlington coat factory used to have that shit on sale. That's where I got most of my enyce, rocawwar and Sean John from.
 
Cross Colors was the first thing that came to mind(after FUBU). I was in middle school when CC was popping. That might've been too far back for the people they polled.
Man if you had a pair of cross colors (the soft denim) with a pair of travel foxes. You was that dude
