Manufactures are 6 months in front retailers, and designers 6 months in front manufactures..

It's soon enough to have a peek into 2k23.

Freddy Krueger striped-skinny jeans-mid 00's punk flavor

Flap beanies

And with the Olympics, rollerblading might end up being a sick counter culture for people too cool for skateboarding.

Getting too old to have a good feel on what’s  bubbling with cool people as far as style.

But I do know that 2023 is slated to be a very competitive videogame year on par with 1998 and 2007. So because of gaming I actually predict the first noticeable decline in new skateboarders since the increase during the COVID era.

That’s funny, I made a thread about supporting skate brands by buying soft goods a couple years ago and everyone kooked me for it lol.

@whagman

The pandemic put heavy delays on most games that weren’t near completion by late 2019. Wasn’t really noticeable in 2020 but this year and last year was remarkably slow for game releases. So basically three years worth of big budget titles are slated for release next year.

Just off the top of my head (with a little googling halfway through):

Resident Evil 4 remake
Starfield
Street Fighter 6
Final Fantasy 16
Avowed
Hellblade 2
Black Myth Woukon
Dead Space remake
Zelda Breath of the Wild Sequel
Alan Wake 2
Hogwarts Legacy
Forspoken
Redfall
Stalker 2
Suicide Squad game
Assassins Creed Mirage
Diablo 4
Pragmatic
Pikmin 4
Fire Emblem

With more shit probably being announced this December with the Game Awards.

I'm thinking general skateboarding fashion will continue down a sort of dying to live kinda of loose, little bit flamboyant hesh then maybe by the end of the year some doofus will think theyre the first to try tight pants.
The fashion cycle is more of a spiral getting faster repeating itself as time goes on

The pants pendulum has to swing the other way, we have reached critical mass. The functionality benefit of having the extra room to move is being outweighed by the added drag coefficient.

Notice the pants of the dudes that skate the fastest, they are not the largest.

crop tops are definitely going to be in this next year. I started wearin them when I went to raves this last summer and I see skaters wearing them at the park all the time now. It's a fun way to mess with people who have strict ideas of gender roles. I remember getting a lot of weird looks from all the republicans and cops when I wore one in Nashville.

agreed. i had a coworker wearing one in line to cash our checks, kind of a redneck kid. i was roasting him so hard for his 'belly shirt' that eventually he was going to kick my ass if i continued. i fired off 2 or 3 more jokes but he would have hurt me and stole my skateboard. he was the type of redneck to slash your tires. he wasn't the good moonshining, fixing motors redneck, he was the bad kind that had no sense of decorum yet wanted to be respected.

Sums up everything that is wrong about generation crop top. Caring what random passerby (republicans and cops of all people) think of your belly shirt might be a red flag that you need some sort of therapy. Thinking your changing the world by flashing some belly and showing a little undy to kids at your local / republican cops.

As a prolific lace breaker, I think it'd be cool if shoes with lace protection made a comeback.

No, I'm not going to cover my laces in glue or shoe goo, looks like crap and barely works anyways
Yes, I know you can buy bulk laces from Amazon and I already do that, it'd be nice to not have to do that.

fr i need some converse one stars with lace protectors like the osiris D3. it would look terrible but it would skate great

A little bit of super glue on the shoelace wear points by the first few eyelets does wonders and isn't even that noticeable. A lot less noticeable than having to use multiple knots to keep your shoes intact. Just saying

crop tops are definitely going to be in this next year. I started wearin them when I went to raves this last summer and I see skaters wearing them at the park all the time now. It's a fun way to mess with people who have strict ideas of gender roles. I remember getting a lot of weird looks from all the republicans and cops when I wore one in Nashville.

If I were 19 I’d wear one. Men should allow themselves to be or feel sexy. It’s 2022 men should stop trying to pretend they don’t want to be.

I think I have the body for it but I'm 27 and that already feels too old, but also, constantly telling judgemental older folk to fuck off would get boring very fast ,like what happened in my long hair years.

Crop tops is a build thing. Football players pull off crop tops pretty well because of the bulk. Looks a little more androgynous on a lean skateboarder, but if that’s your look then go for it.

The pants pendulum has to swing the other way, we have reached critical mass. The functionality benefit of having the extra room to move is being outweighed by the added drag coefficient.

Notice the pants of the dudes that skate the fastest, they are not the largest.

Nope! Switch heel front board!

My frickin PS4 controller was in my lap and plugged in when I jumped in the air!

My heart sank when he didn't put it down . I felt kinda guilty even for talking smack so much.

That's how skating is tho. I talk smack but at the end of the day it's all love and respect.

What a G.

I love skatepark if Tampa. If I had a babysitter for my cat I'd definitely be at Tampa Pro this year.

Wanted to come up with a prediction, or maybe even a stupid joke.

Thought about it for a bit, couldn't really come up with anything.

Not being able to come up with anything made me feel like im completely out of touch, idk whats really trending right now (aside from large pants and dunks). I genuinely don't know where things are going, and I don't feel like i have the means to figure that out organically like I did when i was younger.

Is this what being old feels like? I know I'm only 30, but fuck, was not expecting my visit to the trendwatch 2023 thread to stir such an existential crisis.

I guess they would call it now academia aesthetic or something similar.


I know this is nothing new but I predict certain parts of skateboarding will be more covered in academic discourses e.g. urban planning, architecture, participation and social science, because more skaters study and will publish scientific articles and books or give talks. Especially considering the Right to the city movement or the turnaround in mobility.

I would say that this has been a trend here in Finland for a few years already. Back when I started skating in the 90s this would have not been accepted at all. These kids are looking like total nerds by 90s standards and are ripping like mad. I think it’s very cool and I’m all for it.

I expect Butter Goods baggy clothes to be out of style next year. It’s so overblown now. Even the rural kids are wearing full on Butter Goods costumes. I’ve got nothing against those clothes as such but it’s reached a point where it has lost all originality so it’s bound to die off.

Looking more feminine or androgynous is gonna trend even harder in 2023 I think. I think that’s cool too. People should be able to look how they feel no matter what their gender or sexual preferences are. I’d like to feel more pretty on occasion myself but I’m old and stuck in my ways a bit so I’ll root for the kids instead!

Okay this time for real.

Imagine this, you get up at 6am and make some coffee.
You fill that coffee in your mug. And then you take that mug outside with you. In your car, on the train, in the bus.
You carry your mug the whole day in your hand.

Already seen that twice in the last few days.
You heard it here first.

They're only getting stronger. Everytime I go out I see about a 5% increase in mullets. I even had one for a while but went to my little nephews soccer game and saw it's like almost every kid. Don't want to be the old guy who's trying to be cool like the kids.

As the future unfolds, more and more older dudes skating- not just middle agers having a midlife crisis wanting to try skating for the first time but skaters that skated since they were young, maybe they made a career out of it maybe they didn't, but they just kept skating through their 20's, 30's, 40's, etc. Skate spots and skateparks will have more and more older people there to the point that skateboarding will eventually lose it's typecast-ness of being only for little kids (hopefully at least).

no, the new generation of modelo drinkers and parking lot crews never picked up skateboarding because the mainstream image of it is jockish and competitive. not saying we wont see any legit kids anymore, but a lot less nice kids now are picking up skating from what i see here and the mainstream is really jockish and out of touch from the "core" scene as we see it.
i think we are going to see alot more people using parks as practice to get better as the main objective and motive behind their skating and less outcasts and weirdos picking up skating.

I always have double respect for someone just not caring and killing it with a helmet on because I'd honestly feel weird about it even if I sometimes would like to wear one for certain tricks if I'm scared.

At what kind of spots are we talking about? Mt. Baldy? Bowl park with a foot of vert? Rockridge Bart? Tompkins's Square TF? I'm very anti-helmet in any street or street-adjacent skate context, but I'm also against peewee (American-) football. I know I'm a hypocrite. It would secretly bum me out if I met a homie at a street spot and they were wearing a helmet. I'd probably get over it in about 5 minutes, but it hasn't happened yet, so I haven't had to deal with this aspect of my upbringing/inculturation/toxic masculinity/insecurity. I'm sure having kids changes the calculus.
Can someone deepfake helmets onto Nyjah's and TJ's heads in their latest parts? And while you're at it, remove Andy's?

No more skaters/companies releasing parts by themselves new thrasher mandate all footage comes out the same month as the magazine. If it wasn't part of an interview or article it doesn't exist to them

There will be an accompanying art exhibition to celebrate the release where he will at some point explain the meaning of some poem he had painted on the wall and everyone’s going to love it.

For me it's only acceptable if you kept going after something broke during a legit trick.

It also reminds me of Daewon's wheel change stuff, equally as corny imo.

as cool as it would be, i don't think a full blow resurgence of og core brands will happen. 90s/00s skate tees have already been a big trend for the past few years, but i don't see anyone buying new stuff from these brands. i think newer brands will just continue to reference that era into oblivion, like all the logo bites, blind reaper/world industries parodies etc etc.

Golden brown, texture like sun
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Throughout the night, no need to fight

To distant lands, takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Through the ages, she's heading west
From far away, stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

More boards geared towards the size of the average female would be great. It makes a huge difference for me. Mostly board length and wheel base. I started on a typical 8 X 32, X 14.5, now I'm on a 7.75 X 31 with a 14 wheel base but it's hard to find more than a couple options in that size. I realize female pros don't seem to have an issue skating whatever but most women just don't have that amount of power. I struggle a little on bigger boards and the women around me seem too as well. Skating is a game of like millimeters so...

Shants will reign. Long and baggy. By the end of the summer will be a meme. By next summer will be a staple. Dickies shorts peak saturation. There will be a lot more sleeveless shirts, baby tees and crop tops. The slim down theory going around here is going to happen to shirts, not pants. The shoe debate of corporate vs skater-owned will finally die, skaters will be applauded by fans for secured shoe deals with whoever as its common knowledge that with a shoe contract they will skate and travel more which means we get to see more clips. There might be a drought in the high water department finally. No more floods

Wouldn't shants just be very high waters. Feel like you could be onto something with the slim shirt big pants it was a pretty common look with non skaters from the mid 90s to 00s (right time for younger skaters to try emulate) and somewhere skating hasn't really been yet.

I believe we call them shorts because they are a shortened version of pants so thats just semantics. To clarify for you I’m talking about shorts that dont show the knees and land somewhere on the shins. High water pants are on their way to the everyday general population and once someone’s parents in the Midwest are wearing something…

Adrian lopez would like to have a word with you

Edit: Okupon further inspection his shirts weren't always THAT slim... I kinda misremembered that one mystery ad. He definitely got a smaller shirt than pants but not the crazy wonky pop punk ratio I was thinking.

During 1999-2003 I thought the pop punk (huge short Dickies, high socks, studded belts) look was the standard look for skaters in USA. The reality is I’ve never seen a skater who wears like that.

For me, it was the aesthetics of bands like Nofx, Blink182, No use for a name, The Offspring… and the appearance of skaters in some of their music videos. Those things made me think as a kid it was the “skater uniform”

I think you are right. I already see it Happening. For me personally it's a disaster because nearly all my pants are high waters and I don't want to go looking for new pants. That is the worst kind of shopping.

That’s how all the ‘skaters’ at my middle school dressed. They could all do shove it’s, no pop 180s and maybe a heelflip. They all had really high Ollie’s though and were held back at least one year.

Maybe that rowan davis part will inspire more kids to wear Air maxes when they skate? It would actually be sick.

lets just split the difference at straight fit - skaters should be issued a pair of 501's and 874's with their first board, and get free repairs and replacements as needed.

If you haven't tried 501's in the last few years give em' a try, back to the slimmer 70s/80's silhouette with a perfect leg opening - plus with a higher rise they sit above your hips and allow for more movement IMO

Hm might have to hunt some down. I just usually pull em from thrift shops, so beggars vs choosers

What's the closest Levis cut (minus where waist sits) to Dickies 874s? Maybe the 569 loose straight?

If you size 574's correct to sit on your true waist they're honestly similar to 501's - back in the early 00's 569's were the jean of choice, im 6'1" and weighed 165-170 lbs back then and bought them in 33-30, and dickies i bought in 34-30 - now I weigh 175 lbs and buy 501's and dickies in 32-32 ... it's crazy how much better clothes look when they fit lol
