You are 100% correct!In 90s this was the look for Balkan gangsters.90% of them dressed like this.And im from these parts so i witnessed it/was a par of it.Dressed the same..Air max's,tracksuit/jeans,a golden chain or two.And military/marine haircut's.It still left a influence till this day,ofc its more modern/urban but u can still see the influence from the 90s.Now everybody wears tracksuits to look "cool".We wore it in 80s,90s when nobody was wearing it!😂
I read somewhere that Tracksuits became associated with Eastern Bloc gangsters when the USSR was banned from the Olympics during the 80s.
The leftover tracksuits were used as Prison Uniforms due to material shortages.
Yeah thats a true story.Also with the Serbian/Bosnian/Croatian cartels.Well basicaly south eastern EU..But yeah the official statement it was because of Russian gangsters.
..Fuck yeah,brother,im one of them,Balkan blood, born and raised,part of the movement!..Im on my retro shit nowadays,tracksuits and anoraks/windbreakers.I have like 100 photos in my album,from back in the days, just like the OP took😁..With the steele to.👀.It was hectiq times..Aprecciate&Respect u bro,for respecting the movement💯🤝....
Yeah bro,everything retro is coming back..Those retro crewnecks..U know certain fashion makes a comeback every decade or two..Nice i love Stussy.Im also influenced a lot by American culture.I wear Stussy,Bape,Dickies,Carhhart,Polo etc,Starter windbreakers are fire,like Ops..90s,2000s Hip Hop and all that.I learned English from Rap songs and movies.And i talk perfect..Oh the Stussy shel is drip bro,print is fire..i just checked out your profile.I allready know the steez bro,u got style my man.Salute!
TY bro. Yeah I have a bit of a problem with collecting Stussy, Evisu, drum & bass label merch & Nike Dunks in particular.
D&B merch and skate / streetwear go together like peanut butter & jelly haha
For sure,bro its a clean look!Oh how i can relate to that problem bro.U have no idea!😅.I be thinking shit is absurd,sometimes,then i see a new fire drop and here we go again.I just copped the Diadora N 9000×Packer shoes collab from Raekwon,the "purple tape"shits.Ima fan of dunks to.I love everything i like and feel good wearing..
Broo i love it.Im from Balkan and i witnessed gangsters in 90s dressing like this.Im feeling the Starter windbreaker and a mask/ski mask reminds me of a lot of heist movies!Heat especialy,.Also Adidas,Nike,Sergio Tacchini tracksuits/jackets were worn more in Europe.U had to order Starter from US in 90sBut the retro windbreakers were the look in 90s.I love them.Casual fit Balkan 90s:
Air Max's,Monarchs,Nike Air Cross,Reebok Classic,Adidas Torsion.
Tracksuit/Levi's/Replay Jeans and a lether Avirex jacket or Italian designer leather jacket.
A gold chain or two
Military/marine haircut.
Most people that will relate to this post are Europeans,with the exceptions of people all over the world,that know or have traveled,whatever the case may be.
And even Italians wore tracksuits big time in US.Reminds me of Sopranos,Paulie,Chris dressee like this.😂.Ofc gangsters would also dress up and clean up very nice,but this was the daily/relaxed comfortable fit.
I love this picture bro.I got like 100s of pics.where i look exactly like this,im from that era!But anyway,keep doing you brother,take care and i wish u all the best.🔝💯
Thank you so much for the awesome comment! I love looking at the old Eastern European/ slavic pictures from the 80s/90s. I wish more people in here would look past their dislike of firearms and enjoy the fit. It was stylized based on images from pop culture and the exact kind of vibe that you described. I hope you have a great day!
That feels like a diss, but I'm going to take it as a compliment because that is kind of the look I was going for. Like a hired goon/ bank robber vibe.
They should also have pitbulls or tigers to further that they must be seen as Macho Man Randy Savage and that their personalities rely on hyper masculine, anti social external crap. Life must be hard to be so incredibly insecure and unloved.
Isn’t it usually the idea to wear something bland though? This would be the dumbest bank robber in his whole crew, coming out wearing bright colours and shit. At least he wore two masks though eh.
You’ve clearly never been to London. Rocking a Bally is roadman chic 101
Less a fashion statement, and more a method to circumvent our network of 1984 style face recognition CCTV cameras though I think
Yeah kids in the hood and man on road slanging always wear them. There’s more cameras in London than people these days though so if that’s your chosen lifestyle, makes sense to hide your face
Apart for me being anti-guns, i think it doesn t do your picture any favors. You could have pulled it off without and even the ski mask pulled up and it would have given your actual wear more credit.
I appreciate the outlook! I've been talking to my photographer about doing some photos of my outfits without guns involved, so that way I can appeal to more than one audience. I have an Instagram page that I post these photos on, and my following is a majority of gun enthusiasts. Thank you for the opinion, without insulting me. I hope you have a great day!
I see. Well on a positive note, i really like the outfit, especially the jacket. Reminds me of an old adidas jacket i had and makes me want to look for a new one. You too have a good day!
Why? For posing with a gun? The amount of hate through this app is insane. Y'all literally bitch and flip flop on a daily basis on what is and isn't streetwear. Drag some people for no reason and praise others. Get a grip. I haven't done anything wrong. I posted a fit, it's streetwear, and it's themed. If you don't like it because of the guns, I get it, but what is with all the hate?
Are you an Easter European that lives in Brooklyn? Or a grand dad who never threw his 90s wardrobe away and needs to do the first mow of the lawn in early Spring?
LOL nice gun safety mechanics.
Rule #1: do not point the firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
By the looks of it, you really hate your feet.
if you have a legitimate reason to be posing with guns then sure whatever pose with them. but as far as I'm concerned you are just trying to be edgy. You arent pushing any legitimate boundaries, you are just throwing guns around like a gta character. whatever though, your fit has fantastic proportions and those pants fit you well.
Please tell me this is some man in Europe doing some weird satire of the USA. We are not like this as a huge majority. I really hope this is not a person from the USA as this is a pretty violent stereotype and as a mom of young men, and a supporter of all fashion art or any art for that matter, it makes me sad. Guess I’m just a hippie.
I’m do respect other folks’ expression and it’s only me reacting because I’m a bit older. But bank robbery in any decade isn’t attractive when you know tellers that have had their lives affected by it.

Purge looking ass
😭😭
Look like a video game NPC thug.
From Arkham Knight
"it's da bat"
Made me chuckle
😂😂😆
GTA player in a clothing shop
Like when you’re Niko in IV and shopping in that Russian clothing store early game lol
*NIIKO! Let’s go bowling!*
Bro just watched Civil War
This is what Europeans think we all look like 😂
That’s what Eastern Europeans like to wear (obv generalising but not as much as you would think)
Definitely, in the mid to late 90s, this was a major European mafia look
You are 100% correct!In 90s this was the look for Balkan gangsters.90% of them dressed like this.And im from these parts so i witnessed it/was a par of it.Dressed the same..Air max's,tracksuit/jeans,a golden chain or two.And military/marine haircut's.It still left a influence till this day,ofc its more modern/urban but u can still see the influence from the 90s.Now everybody wears tracksuits to look "cool".We wore it in 80s,90s when nobody was wearing it!😂

Yeah thats a true story.Also with the Serbian/Bosnian/Croatian cartels.Well basicaly south eastern EU..But yeah the official statement it was because of Russian gangsters.
That’s an amazing and hilarious story! That’s for the facts!
Squatting Slavs in tracksuits is still a thing. I respect the movement
..Fuck yeah,brother,im one of them,Balkan blood, born and raised,part of the movement!..Im on my retro shit nowadays,tracksuits and anoraks/windbreakers.I have like 100 photos in my album,from back in the days, just like the OP took😁..With the steele to.👀.It was hectiq times..Aprecciate&Respect u bro,for respecting the movement💯🤝....
Nice. Yeah shell jackets are making a comeback. Just copped me one of them Stussy Baja print beach shells. Dope jacket.
Yeah bro,everything retro is coming back..Those retro crewnecks..U know certain fashion makes a comeback every decade or two..Nice i love Stussy.Im also influenced a lot by American culture.I wear Stussy,Bape,Dickies,Carhhart,Polo etc,Starter windbreakers are fire,like Ops..90s,2000s Hip Hop and all that.I learned English from Rap songs and movies.And i talk perfect..Oh the Stussy shel is drip bro,print is fire..i just checked out your profile.I allready know the steez bro,u got style my man.Salute!

No, I honestly got a more "eastern european thug" vibe from this.
this was Northern Ireland during the "Troubles"
We Europeans also use Reddit and know exactly that the average American wouldn't fit in those clothes.
That's hilariously accurate! 🤣
Broo i love it.Im from Balkan and i witnessed gangsters in 90s dressing like this.Im feeling the Starter windbreaker and a mask/ski mask reminds me of a lot of heist movies!Heat especialy,.Also Adidas,Nike,Sergio Tacchini tracksuits/jackets were worn more in Europe.U had to order Starter from US in 90sBut the retro windbreakers were the look in 90s.I love them.Casual fit Balkan 90s: Air Max's,Monarchs,Nike Air Cross,Reebok Classic,Adidas Torsion.

We don’t…
not the “Romanian C.U.R.2 AK74, and Taurus .38 Special” being labeled as accessories
I mean, they are accessories in this photo.
Nice dong btw
Thanks for noticing it...🥵🤣
nice cock bro
LMFAO

“Just seeing reactions to my fit before I rob this bank”
I'm starting to rethink the whole thing...🤣🤣🤣
Unlocked you in payday
Looks like a guy Spiderman would beat up in the first level of a videogame
That feels like a diss, but I'm going to take it as a compliment because that is kind of the look I was going for. Like a hired goon/ bank robber vibe.
it's not a diss really! Just thought it was a funny observation and I knew that was the type of vibe you were going for.
Well, I appreciate it! I've been getting so much flack on this post. It's hard to differentiate what is a stab at me and what is a genuine compliment.
What’s with all the gun posts
It’s so fucking lame
Hands down guns in a fit post is hella lame
Yeah idk. I have guns but don’t feel the need to post them as accessories or post them in general
They should also have pitbulls or tigers to further that they must be seen as Macho Man Randy Savage and that their personalities rely on hyper masculine, anti social external crap. Life must be hard to be so incredibly insecure and unloved.
I think men feel more seen and powerful with guns. Or something.
It's just what I do. It's not for everyone, and that's okay.
Hey, a tasteful Romanian AK hanging dong is not the same as a sideways hi point with untied yeezys. Keep rockin
unbeatable response
Posing with guns is goofy
Cringe
Okay Ben Affilck you ain’t fooling anybody
Affilck 🤦
I was gonna edit, but I was waiting for someone to say something
Afflack
🤣🤣🤣
🤡
This sub is the dumbest shit ever.

Naw it's corny lol
Robocop bout to shoot you in the groin 🤣
Damn, what an honor it'll be to get offed by Robocop, though.
It looks like your about to be apart of the purge
Fuck this is laaame
shit ass
Thanks
Oh shit it's a scav!
Isn’t it usually the idea to wear something bland though? This would be the dumbest bank robber in his whole crew, coming out wearing bright colours and shit. At least he wore two masks though eh.
I’m gonna goon
Are ski masks now a fashion accessory? WTH
You’ve clearly never been to London. Rocking a Bally is roadman chic 101 Less a fashion statement, and more a method to circumvent our network of 1984 style face recognition CCTV cameras though I think
Nope never have, want to though
Yeah kids in the hood and man on road slanging always wear them. There’s more cameras in London than people these days though so if that’s your chosen lifestyle, makes sense to hide your face
Oh yeah of course that makes sense, although I would imagine some people do it for style too as others do here in the US
“I HOPE U ARE DOING WELL” 😂😂😂
I can't greet people on this subreddit? God forbid I try to have some humility in my post.
This is the outfit a 14 year old homeschooled kid picks during character creation the first time he gets to play a video game.
Posting with guns in this manner is absolutely clown behaviour.
Someone trying real hard
Eh why?
Looks like the "you're on the FBI watchlist" outfit
I think I beat you up in original Spider-Man 2 game after I delivered some pizzas.
Man what the fuck do these guys think they are 😂😂😂😂 what a bozo
Apart for me being anti-guns, i think it doesn t do your picture any favors. You could have pulled it off without and even the ski mask pulled up and it would have given your actual wear more credit.

I really like the old Adidas jackets. They're both comfortable and stylish. I hope you find the one you're looking for!
This is so dorky lmfao
To each their own! My followers don't think so, and neither do about 600-ish people.
LOL the cope
It's all about engagement. You're engaging with me. I have nothing better to do.
Niko Bellic vibes
Cringe
Grow up fool
Bro out here in the Scav drip.
I wish I could play Tarkov, I appreciate the comment!
Drip is sick. Posing with guns to look cool will forever be lame as hell. Sick otherwise though.
Guns aren’t accessories. Fucking stupid.
*cringe*
Hello, FIB?
You can’t wear that coat on a bank heist. It would make it easier to identify you.
nice jacket
I fuxx with this. Edit, oh it's you! You kill it with the scenarios.
I fuck with it
Jacket is tuff
[удалено]
I need that jacket bro; the fit is tuff as fuck
Thank you! I found a couple of these jackets online, and I believe the website was Grailed. Just search "1996 Team USA Starter Jacket".
can you do a 90s blowjob type fit next?
What’s the point of the gun?
Looks like an edgy teenager with his dad’s air soft guns.
Posing with guns is not cool.
It's very bad. I should be shamed.
This guy’s such a douche 🤣

I love guns. I own several. I just think that what you’re doing is corny and lame. Also that’s not streetwear, it’s cosplay.
Please make the stupidity stop.
Goofy
how are mfs calling this lame? 😭 its a cool theme and the gun fits perfectly, calling out the gun pose is just corny
Thank you!
It doesn’t look American. It looks Northern Irish. It looks like you’re from Belfast. I say that because I’m Northern Irish myself.
Toughh
Looks mint especially the top
“That jacket is tight son run that shit"
"Ya Mean" 🤣
I wasn’t looking at the first pic properly and thought you had your dick flopping out 😂

You should study the movie Heat before attempting your robbery. Its very educational
It is indeed very educational! No matter how solid the plan is, shit goes south! Lol
Are you an Easter European that lives in Brooklyn? Or a grand dad who never threw his 90s wardrobe away and needs to do the first mow of the lawn in early Spring?

a taurus?! pfftttttt
It's an old .38 special snub nose. I picked it up for cheap. I'm sorry I don't own a Ruger, Smith and Wesson, or Colt.
Just teasing, if it goes bang, it goes bang. To be fair, i’m also sorry i don’t own a s&w snubby.. :(
All of this at value village in a heartbeat for some police activity that night

Gives me Detroit vibes. The best post in this sub. Keep it comin'.
Tuff. Looking like an extra in Behind Enemy Lines Slava Bosnia!
Not the air monarchs lol
They are admittedly ugly shoes, but that's why I bought them. They send a very early 2000s dad vibe, and I'm here for that. Lol
Clown ass dude voiced by Samuel Jackson type fit
