Boston Style?

So I've turned into a straight up City Kidd since I moved to Boston. It fits my personality as well as my interests, and one thing I always loved was the different styles that Boston City Kidds have. We got kids with awkward haircuts, skinny jeans and reverse pedal bikes: Hipsters. The grunge graphic tee, torn jeans skaters that everyone else has. The hip ass Asian kids with the crisp Nike's and pressed Crooks and Castles apparel. Your typical college student with their school sweatshirt on, levi's and Asics running shoes, usually white kids. But before going through all the others, there is one particular style that I do not understand as a whole. It is monopolized by my beloved black friends, yes they tell me to say they are black since they hail from the Bean or NY and not Africa; but this style is also taken on by the flashy white kids with lineups at times. Everyone reading this post is going to know at least one person who reps this swag and it's not a bad thing, I just wonder where the creativity is?

Now just to start, they always wear Jordans, stricly Jordans. One of my boys has like 80 different pairs of Jordans, he's a fiend and has a true hobby collecting sneakers and I respect that because my idol, the late great DJ AM was a sneaker head. But okay, Jordans on the feet, then usually the crisp, dark Levi's jeans, nuff said. On to the top half, usally a 10Deep graphic tee, or some other rising clothing company you can find at Karmaloop. Colored G-Shock watch of course, throw a large black North Face coat over that, fur hood optional and to top it all off, a snap back hat that matches perfectly with the shoes, the watch and the tee. Usually not even a relevant team, some crazy ass squad that's not even close to Boston.....like Pittsburgh? Bro we know you don't give a shit about the 'Burgh. But it's all good, I'm not hating, just trying to understand why it's gotta be all these things at once?

HEAR ME OUT! I enjoy all of these items, I have just about all of these, except Jordans, not my thing but that's a different story. I just don't understand why every "City Kidd," has this look? Switch it up, grab a different watch, wear shell toes, maybe go back to fitted hats? I'm not even sure, this is my take on the current styles hitting the Bean. I'm wondering what some of my boys' take is on this, I do embrace this style, and each item within it, but can't we switch it up Boston? Guess I just like to be different, plus I'm white, and my boy with the Jordans always tells me "I just don't understand cuz I'm the white kid." Haha it's straight though, some things I may never understand, until then, Ima keep posting these opinions and feeding you with Drunkadelic style. Get at me.

Shouts to all the companies I mentioned and to everyone that reps this style, rep tha bean children. Be sure to check out Karmaloop for all your apparel intoxicating styles.
