Superstylin' with Arkive Vintage Sportswear

Sportswear, Athleisure... call it what you will but one things for sure it’s here to stay as a major player in your wardrobe. It has even broken into bridal couture thanks to the recent Fashion Week Adidas x Gucci collaboration.

The aesthetic evokes 90’s/00’s where 'who' you were wearing was just as, if not more, important than what you were wearing. The big names in this arena are your Nike, Adidas, Puma, Reebok, FUBU and Fila, as well as pieces featuring motorsports, baseball, basketball, hockey and football stars and teams.

For style icons you only need to look at the rap and hip-hop artists of the time such as Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, films like Clueless and Poetic Justice and Will Smith in The Fresh Prince, for example.
