It was one of those days where I happened to flip through an old 1980s
BMX magazine and noticed that a few of the styles were basically
exactly the same as what we wear and are influenced by this very day
and age. So I kept digging. I hunted down a whole lot of 1980s BMX
advertising pages and spreads (with a couple of skate and snow ones
thrown in for good measure) and made this collection for you all to
peruse. A couple are not ad's, but in there anyway as they were just so
awesome. Check the shot of Eddie Fiola doing an air with the close up
of the Vans low-cut sneakers that you can basically go out today and
buy a pair of. Incredible how long Vans and Converse have managed to
stay cool (we won't mention the mid 90s)
Images like these give
me a lot of pleasure to look at, I think partly because I love the 80s
BMX era. Partly because I love the neon colours, and partly because
they personify rad.
Enjoy.
