Zooty Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I see the kids across the street shooting hoops wearing black socks and shorts. Is the the new style because they would have been ridiculed relentlessly when I was in school? Even sweeter when they put on flip-flops with their black socks.

I've been wearing black socks and shorts since the mid-90s. Not in a 'wanna be' way, it's just the way I've rolled. Sure it's not a popular look, but I like it.

Square Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I had a lot of friends where black socks with basketball shoes when we were growing up. It was a little more "hood", but the black crappy shoes from spammers swooshes were pimp gear in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Compared to tatoos and practically every body part imaginable pierced, that sounds pretty tame to me. Dude, it's the 21st century. Anything goes. Or maybe they just wanted to look like grandpa. All they need now are plaid shorts and a camera around their neck and they're ready for vacation.

Kid Cid Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I am still trying to figure out why some NBA players wear tights . . . on their legs AND arms . . . I can only speak about Allen Iverson's compression sleeve. He got a tattoo that the NBA told him he had to keep covered during games.

As much as David Stern I am sure hates the tatts, AI had elbow problems, hence the compression sleeve, now very popular wit the homies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
