A$AP Worldwide, Vans, and Russell Athletics released a clothing collab. The art group connected with big clothing brands and released a collection just a day ago. The collection points out the upcoming 2000s nostalgia
While waiting for the new nostalgic decade to come, you can order A$AP clothing on PacSun. It’s only available there, and the prices range between around $100-$200.
2000s are Back in Business
A$APs are bringing the 2000s back into fashion. They took white Vans Oldskools and added colorless fire stripes to them. With Russell, A$AP has created hoodies, shirts, t-shirts, pants, and shorts. Rusell’s items also don’t lack skulls and fire prints. This and a vast “RUSSELL” sign in the middle of shirts, hoodies, and t-shirts.
The mix of emo, goth, skateboarding, and other significant 2000s attributes in the new collab might be a sign of starting late 1990s-2000s nostalgia. It makes more sense, with people always missing the decade twenty-thirty years before them.
The styling of the fashion book refers back to the 2000s too. It’s very colorful, has pictures with chess walls, and pants on fire. While pants on fire might be a metaphor for the 2000s era overall (subprime loans, financial crisis, all that), other things reference the stylistics.
I can myself remember chess walls being trendy during my early childhood. Colorful images also remind of 2000s Nickelodeon’s short commercials about cool teenagers with their funny life stories.
A$AP Mob has always seemed to think ahead of all the hipsters and hype beasts worldwide, setting trends for them. Are we going to see more 2000s fashion coming back in trend? Reruns of 2000s movies? The 6th part of Shrek and Madagascar rerun?
In case you’re missing more recent times, you can watch this “Jukebox Joints” performance by A$AP Rocky from six years ago.
