So Krew is coming back with a vengeance and thrusting its way back into the forefront of skateboarding fashion. I, for one, am elated. I think I still have the basketball jersey somewhere. One of the best clothing companies.
-
Is that why Antwuan is wearing krew shirts in his IG clips? I just thought they were NOS lol

The return of tiny pants...
-
I’m excited to see what happens with the new Krew. The reboot is being done by the original founder, Angel Cabada, from what I can tell. Which is a great start. Seeing he did TSA before Krew, I can imagine they’re going to have some really sick pants. We all know how important pants are these days. I really am hoping for the best.

And the crowd went mild.

backing this.
penny better be back on this..
imagine reynolds tho

Still have a Krew hoodie in my normal rotation. It’s like 14 years old at this point and on its last leg but I’m getting my $50 worth.

I’d cop one if they dropped it again.

I don’t see why Penny wouldn’t be down.
Reynolds though? Money talks. I’m sure RVCA is paying him pretty well.
-
I for one welcome purple tight ass jeans and neon shoelace belts back into the fold.
Sick of these brown Dickies anyway
-
So does this bum out the kids that wear vintage Krew gear ironically but started skating after Krew was already done?
-

To be fair they also made some very large pants
-
Krew was sick. I’d cop of pair of Kslims for the hell of it .

I cleaned out my closet a couple weeks ago and found a pair of Krew Reynolds jeans that still fit.
err, "fit".

They gonna bring back the best hoodie of all time without TK's name on it?

Is it because “Skating on acid is tite!”?

The return of tiny pants...
I was just thinking that.
The Super Slims were crazy, but the normal K Slims were not tight, then the next fit up which I preferred (just can't remember the name, but there are half dozen pairs in a box somewhere), pretty much a regular fit pair of jeans with stretch, but as you said, there were also the really big baggy ones too, which were huge compared to all the other slim stretch jeans on the market at the time.
-
If you remember wearing Kr3w isn’t that a sign you’re too old to wear Kr3w the second time around

I think before they had the k-slims etc type labels it was k01 to K10. I think k01 being the Greco, lizard King tight and k10 being the other end of the spectrum for grant Patterson, Wade desarmo and tom penny. Being taller I'd have to get the ones that were meant to be huge just so I could have some normal looking pants

maybe you can get away with some jeans but a 40 year old in the full zip up hoody is something we don't need.
-
Y’all are thinking of the Klassic
-
I guess they are trying to bring tight pants back. If they wanted to make baggy pants they could resurrect tsa haha.
-
If they bring back the K-Slims I would get some a few sizes too big and rock them. These pants had the right amount of stretch.
-
Remember in 07 buying the Muska signature denim. I was going through a fit crisis at the time and thought painted on pants would be the fix. They were not.

That would be cool.
-
Is this permission to don my khaki bellbottom nut huggers again?
You ever slam into the side of your hip over those THREE rivets?
-
The ellingtons jeans might have been the perfect slim/loose ratio and probably would hold up today as a medium, normal fit.
-
rebooots are lazy.
-
I agree that reboots are lazy
but I was looking at some some Kr3w ads to post, and not gonna lie. I can easily see why why they were cool 12 years ago. Look at these cool guys

Is this gonna devalue the matching Flexfit I found at a Goodwill several years ago and have yet to post for sale??
I know everybody was high on Reynolds at the time but the Greco jeans treated me better.

Polka dots on the Greco pant cuffs were so good. Krew had a cool thing going, I would prefer altamont though.

kr3w was sicker than altamont…
like altamont never had that aura about it like kr3w did…at least in my neck of the woods. kr3w just hit differnt.
altamont to me was like kr3w lite…or diet kr3w, if you will
-
Younger inner me prefers Kr3w, but slightly older and more mature-ish knows Altamont is more appropriate for current self.
However, Kr3w did have a magic fron their team, their ads, their quality in clothes, etc. They pushed brown cords heavy snd we all lapped it up hahah
To be honest, I don't think I ever had a pair of Kr3w pants, in spite of always wanting them. Always wore Levi's, Ezekiel, or Volcom pants that I could get at discount department stores.

Alright so which Altamont logo tee you gonna wear on your first date
Repeater. Script. Or no logo. 🤔

I really wish the Altamont collection with Alyasha (FiberOps, Droors, etc) came to fruition.

To be fair, I'm aware that these logo style tees exist from Altamont, but I largely associate Altamont with their flannels, button ups etc. that came slightly later once they actually picked up traction with people.
Altamont was the more button up/flannel toned down but still nuanced edgy version of Krew. Less bombastic, earthy, but whispers of the three shirt examples you posted. If. I had to pick, I'd do the top shirt with a simple pattern button up over it.
Something like these. Either way, I loved both brands and didn't own much of either growing up when I wanted em!

I still have my Reynolds Altamont X Jimi Hendrix shirt somewhere. Anyone know if it’s worth anything?

Kr3w had that city, rap/hip hop feel. Kr3w is sick don’t get me wrong. I also second that altamonts strength was in the jackets, button downs, and sweaters. I loved their sloppy stitching. It felt more like a DIY rock music thing.
I’d rep, and have repped, the no logo shirt.

Wow. They put zero effort into this.
And the quality of the gear doesn't even look better than a $12 Uniqlo tee

I agree and hope that’s true.
KREW shit the bed on this one. I think everything is made in LA, but none of this is worth that amount. So plain.

I could have seen Boo on the 2009 era Krew. The thing is do you want a bunch of 40 year olds on the team trying to sell swag to a key demo of 15-25?

Dude I had this logo tee, except the font was pink, yellow, and green or something! It was my favorite shirt for years and one that I would bust out when I needed to flex on some hoes in my freshman year of high school. Needless to say, the hoes were not impressed.
When I first started skating in like 2010, Krew and Altamont were both the hottest brands around. I would convince my mom to buy me as many of their jeans and tees as I could find on sale hahahaha. I had the dark indigo Jim Greco Krews with the polka cuffs too. Those were so fucking sick back then. I also had a Krew tee that had a huge print of the Zodiac Killer cypher on it and red letters in the middle of it that said "Krew kills". Once I got that, it replaced that Altamont shirt as my favorite tee. The hoes were literally scared of me at that point. I remember multiple people, including one or two of my teachers, taking one look at that tee and then asking me if I was ok with a really concerned look on their faces. I was an edgy teenager so I ate that shit up.

they don't even have their old site registered

"MADE IN MTFN LA" - does this mean USA made? May explain the $$$'s

The first time I ever had extra spending money I bought some TK krew pants because they looked the baggiest. This was when everyone was rocking skinny jeans. I was like 170lbs... Those damn jeans fit me like shinny jeans! So bummed. Tk must have some chicken legs. But the printing above the pocket was so bad ass. lol They were indestructible tho. All the homies had the TK hoodie already in all the colors so I missed out. The white one withe blue and pink lettering was the best tho. Good times, who knew.
-
they did great clothes. Long lasting fabrics and melow graphics.

I had the AR ad JG jeans in every color they did. Sold them all in like 09
