It’s the perfect symbol for the borough, combining sports, fashion, and hip hop into a cute commodity that’s sure to be on every Brooklynite’s head this summer.
In this Neon Mamacita post, we examine how athletic style influenced hip hop style and in turn, street style. Shot in and around McCarren park, we look at football, basketball, and skateboarding. These are three traditional male sports that are nonetheless appropriated by girls to add a bit of edge to their style.
