"When we walk down the street, people look at us like we’ve been stuck in a time capsule for 15 years,” said Ladaz Marshall, 20, who was wearing snug acid-washed jeans, leopard-print high-top Pumas and a Reebok track jacket from 1988 that he found on eBay. “But this is how we really dress every day. We love it.” That was a quote from the retro kids themselves.
Me personally i love the retro kids. They represent freedom from todays expectations. They give people courage to be free to dress the way they want without following trends. They Pave a way for creativity . Leave a note telling whether u feel them or not.

That's the link. And after you go there (if you want) and you hit the share button or "post to other websites" and help me out? Thanks again!
when it was one person doing it. yeah it was cool. but its no longer individuality when it becomes a trend. which it has. a fad that will pass like all others. personally, im not into that. i can appreciate style and individuality but not when it becomes mass produced. ppl are starting to take it a lil too far. they fabricate an image of themselves, a certain style that is not them. at all. that's my say.
They remind me of these kids in Atlanta that call themselves "The 80's Babies". I think that the trend is kinda dead now due to overkill.
i agree with the overkill comment that was made just before mine. When the 80's theme came back out i first saw it from ppl in new york. its trickled on down to atlanta now and its just not the same. I think the whole purpose to that was to be different, stand out, and be expressive in a way that many people are too afraid to be. however, it kinda backfired a bit because now everyone who calls themselves different is just blending in. I mean its still interesting to look at once in awhile tho!
"Always in moderation" is a rule of thumb for almost....anything ha! Head to toe in one brand isnt okay...so head to toe in neon aint cool either. A dookie rope here---some risky business shades there is fine. Style means being able to do a variety of different looks--80s everyday isnt style.
One thing that is NEVER okay with me---MAN HIPS. Just like a female, niggas need to make sure they have the right jeans for their shape. Those skinny jeans dont work on all females--so they dont work on all guys. Shapely women can wear them--shapely men should not have extra tight pants. Volumptuous lookin niggas are never going to be in style. The wide-bodied seriously shouldnt wear tight pants.
I totally feel them. They remind me of our own kidsss here in Holland called the Amsterdam Club Kids. They dress very dary and it totally rocks (in my opinion). I adore streetstyle, and they take it to a whole, more interesting, level. Just is these Retro Kids do, really like it!
You should check out the ACK site: www.theclubkids.nl!
