clothes brands from 80s and 90s

I had a pair of silver shell bottoms think they were by nike, they were a size too big, i looked like a spaceman :D

Also at school i had a pair of Kangaroos trainers with a pocket in the tongue, thought they were the biz (obviously i was young and stupid), had the Deck shoes green with a little tassle on top, and a pair of chinos :P
 
Some more of the rave scene clothing is coming back to me. So before NASA jackets etc they were all just plain MA1 and MA2 flight jackets. The MA1 came in first and had like a stretchy round fabric collar and a bright orange interior. Skinheads in the BNP/NF/C18 seem to still like wearing the MA1, but I don't think that's why ravers started wearing them in the 90's. The MA2 followed the MA1 and was identical except it had a proper collar. Firetrap then brought out a fireproof MA2 and people went nuts to get them because they were fireproof, for some reason, like being fireproof was going to be something they would make use of.

Under your flight jacket the coolest kids had Standard Deluxe t-shirts and long sleeve tops. I even had SD slipmats on my decks. Thinking of slipmats, 8 Ball also did t-shirts. Spliffy and Dready came later and weren't as cool in my opinion because they were just playing to the mainstream. SD and 8 Ball actually had some pretty good well thought out artwork on them.

Once people had had enough of white Reebok Classics they moved onto... white Adidas Classics iirc :D
 
I had a pair of these trainers in blue (how sad)

PONY NFL Linebacker trainers

I used to wear them with my Walker tracksuit (navy blue one with two white stripes going all the way around the top and a red collar, matching tracksuit bottoms with two white stripes at the back of the legs). This was when I was in to spinning on my head on the piece of "lino" flooring I used to carry with me. :D

Plenty bad with them, in the past year JD Sports have bought them along with sergio taccini, fila, le coq sportif and a lot of older brands, and are remaking the "classic" styles with absolutely shoddy quality !
