    just wondering what your favorite streetwear brand and what do you wish you had. For example, my favorite brand is Ripndip and The hundreds because they have some nice designs and it cheap (compared to other brands) I wish I had the purple bape zip up hoodie and the Bape NMD because my favorite color is purple and the NMD feels and look nice when you wear it.

    Not really sure what qualifies as street wear. I clothe myself pretty cheaply, although I'll spend what I need to on a great pair of shoes. Usually Nike's.

    I like some skate-brands, mostly Dickies. I'll buy one of those if I need a nice hoodie that'll last a while.

    A company that is rare and hype brand is society original. Their logo is "society" but mirrored in reverse. I like them got a lot of their product before they got rare and shut down I think

    Thrift is life.

    It is the best way to make sure you have original pieces. I have picked up so many great items for streetwear at thrift stores. A sewing machine is your best friend when you learn how to use one. I taper all my thrift jeans (mainly old levis 501 and 511) and distress them myself. Its great.

    My style and wardrobe is very laid back: jeans, sneakers, a shirt, a hat/beanie, and a jacket. I'm not a girly girl, and I don't wear make-up. I'm a bit of a tomboy, haha.

    In store. I go to thrift shops from time to time to find some nice flannel/plaid shirts. I shop at Old Navy for my jeans. Target's men section has some nice shirts that I wear. The shoes I wear are Vans, Adidas, Converse, Nike, and Puma; I have a pair of combat boots that I wear sometimes.

    Online. I shop online for graphic tees and jackets, usually the geek/nerd culture type shirts from Red Bubble. I also buy some shirts at Serengetee, and bracelets from Lokai. Those companies and their movements are very inspiring. I do a lot of my shopping on Amazon, and they surprisingly have some nice shorts and joggers for me.

    Kendama. And of course, I wear a lot of Kendama apparel and headwear! I have over 10 Kendama-related SnapBacks, 10 shirts and about 5 sweaters/hoodies from a few Kendama companies. Plus, the Dama Pocket Tee that my girlfriend, @Jenny Cho, designed. Hehe!

    The Hundreds is dope, I tried to buy one of the new Aaron Kai shirts but they sold out of my size and the one I wanted too fast :/

    The best streetwear is always kendama tees!

    Best one in my wardrobe right now - the Krom Kendama Champion tee.
    Grabbed that at KWC.

    Also, if you have mad hookups (discounts, or giving away) to kendama tees in US XL / Asian XXL, send me a PM!

    Yo I would love the same for hats. Im not that into repping companies with shirts and stuff, but would gladly swoop a hat to throw on from like any kendama company. Dm me if you can hook me up.

    The Hundreds/Champion collab recently was so dope. I picked up some real nice gear.
    Used to be real into CLSC and XLarge as well
    There is a shop in SF on Haight st called Super 7 that I stop into sometimes.
    (Don't know if it's considered streetwear)
    but they have dope gear.

    I just have to clarify, you don't think Dickies is a skate brand? Because shit, literally everyone in my hometown uses dickies winter overalls, work pants, etc. I wouldnt think of them as a skate-brand because thats just how I grew up haha.

    Bumping this back up:
    I love my adidas NMD_R2, currently the main shoe I usually wear.
    The adidas joggers are comfy and still follow the rule of no nike and adidas in the same fit.
    I generally wear a dama related shirt, easily a FindYourWings shirt, or Grain Theory 2018 tee.

    I was looking into some of nike's new products, and this one really catches my eye.
    Nike Air Vapormax Plus "Black Volt"

    I also saw some sick denim and track pants from MNML
    At some point, I probably am gonna scoop an M14 Stretch denim, the M4 denim, the M86 Track Denim, and their Red/Black track pants.
    There is no way I will cop it all in one go, and a lot are sold out, but they look sick, and are relatively affordable by streetwear standards, that I can see myself getting some in the near future.

    There are also some new clothes coming soon from kendama player owned streetwear companies like FindYourWings and SVLTY bois.
    Looks like funny shirts from SVLTY, and shirts and jeans coming soon from FYW. I will probably take a look at them when they release, and debate buying them.

    My favorite shirt that goes with a ton of fits is my Champion x FYW Beam Me Up Tee.
    There is also this shirt I wear a ton that has no significance from Walmart, but it looks cool I guess.

    I do not have any supreme stuff, but they are pretty chill for some letters written in a red box lol.
