#nike acg
With Bobby in Brooklyn in March 2016.
Been missing New York recently. Wish I could wander those streets.

Sweet post (as usual) on Oi Polloi’s blog: ’A BRIEF HISTORY OF NIKE ACG’. ‘In the early 70s a new breed of long-haired rock scramblers known as the Stonemasters had gathered around the cliffs of Yosemite, taking the laid-back surf-style they’d seen on the beaches of California out into the country. (…) There’s an old interview somewhere out there where one of the original Stonemasters talks about how they’d purposely go out in white painter pants and bright shirts just to wind up the more traditionally-minded climbers. Footwear followed suit, as clunky leather clodhoppers were thrown out in favour of lightweight approach shoes and nimble running trainers.’
