Skateboarders really have zero interest in looking cool anymore.
Ahah dude, your PJ Ladd cosplay doesn’t look cool either...
How is it PJ Ladd cosplay if I’ve been wearing a fitted baseball hat, jeans and a t-shirt to skate in since before PJ even started? Nice try though.
Me in 1991 and in 2020
Oh damn, sorry. You’re a true original average looking skateboarder then and you’ve been like that for 30 years. How’s that looking cool? (I appreciate the BA’s tho, had the same colorway, best shoe).
Yeah man, BA’s are definitely the best skate shoe ever in my opinion.
As far as looking cool, the way I see it anyway, is putting thought into what you are wearing and how it goes together.
For instance, in the 91 photo, I matched the red hat to the red shoes, with tonal blue for the t-shirt and jeans. And blue and red are complimentary colors so they look good together.
For the 2020 image, both the hat and the jeans are a dark navy blue. The T-shirt is gray with a white Nike swoosh that matches up well with a gray white and orange Nike BAs. From top to bottom it’s navy blue, gray, navy blue, gray.
Anyway, I’m sure we’re not gonna agree on what we think is cool, and that’s fine, I guess we’ll have a difference of opinion because I grew up looking up to people like Kareem Campbell, Drake Jones & Eric Pupecki; those dudes always looked so fresh.
