RETRO ATHLETICS
Athletic apparel has played a significant role in hip hop culture for decades. The early days of hip hop saw tracksuits, sweatshirts, and sneakers as the go-to clothing for breakdancers and MCs. As hip hop evolved, the style of athletic wear changed as well. Baggy basketball shorts, oversized jerseys, and hoodies became staples in the hip hop wardrobe. Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma were popular choices for their comfort, durability, and style. The trend towards athletic wear in hip hop also inspired the rise of streetwear and the creation of exclusive collaborations between hip hop artists and sportswear brands. Today, athletic apparel continues to be an essential part of hip hop fashion and a symbol of the genre's history and influence on popular culture.
