Stussy, like Zoo and Supreme are brands that I thought were lame in the 90's, and am baffled and impressed that they've managed (okay, not zoo) to convince the younger generation that they're the shit, and have been since day one.

Agree, one of the terrible dime a dozen surf brands with a “.” In the logo.  Maybe we should bring back “Rusty.”

Can we make it rip curl? Got a gift voucher for this surf shop and nearly got a rusty shirt but decided rip curl was stupider/funnier. Rusty do have some sick cargos tho (or are cargos out again?)

Zoo was extremely popular on the East Coast, even before Mixtape came out.

Supreme was just the skate shop in Manhattan for the 90’s.

The only thing wack about Stussy was how watered down it got with being sold in the mall.

In Australia Stussy pants were the ultimate shit in 89, and I still have a stussy rain jacket & black jacket with red poly fur inside from that year that still look good.  They made incredibly durable stuff.

I'm pretty sure I wore my favorite Stussy shirt for picture day freshman year of high school, fall of '92, along with my mcsqueeb and mullet with red/black braids in it. In my defense it was small town Wisconsin so we were juuusst a tad behind the times.

I always remember the 'Static. don't start none won't be none' stussy ad with the ramona quimby looking girl in it.

Looks like half of a sleeping bag.

A boy in the Big Brother program I volunteer at was getting picked on by some other kids, getting called a dork, so I brought him outside for a pep talk.
ME: I used to be a huge dork. Kids would tease me, throw things at me, I had a flat top, played with action figures, wore Stussy -- and this was before Stussy became a trendy boutique brand, back when they had the 8-Ball logo.
BOY: 8-Ball?
ME: Yeah, you know, the 8-Ball logo, they were running that plus the capital "S" with the little crown on it, one of its points bent, dangling to the side, remember that?
BOY: ...I'm thirteen.

I have got an old jacket and a sweater from back in the 90s that I still wear. But do some of you really think nowadays Stussy is affordable? 170 Euros for a flannel shirt? Ridicolous.

I dunno but every time I hear or see the name Stussy I think about those ads in Thrasher from 1987 asap.
specifically these 3





I think that's Dante Ross in the back. I remember watching his Hip Hop History videos on the berrics back in the day.

Rusty has always made pretty good surfboards, even today.

Unrelated to the Stüssy discussy, but I used to wake up to this jumpy little Isaac Hayes instrumental number every morning to get my day going.



I recommend you give it a try.
