88-89 (and even 90) was a time when a fella can chill in front of his brownstone or walk into a party wearing biker shorts, be complimented on his style and not get laughed at! I had a few pairs that were black and had the big stripes or NIKE written on the sides in bold or neon colors. But the get up wasn't complete without a matching NIKE windbreaker, red or blue Air Jordans (depending on which pair of shorts I'd wear), some Kool Moe Dee shades and the hightop fade! If Bobby Brown and Teddy Riley rocked that style then it had to be Fresh!

yo i hear you! i used to copy Schoolly D's style with the yellow tank top, the black biker shorts with the yellow stripe and gold chain thinkin that was the hype - weird how hiphop adopted this style. but now i wouldn't attempt to dress like that again unless it was for an 80s party or even halloween

this guy wore them to work when we had inventory night. Omg you could see everything. We wore big t shirts over these sometimes with a belt or sadly with a fanny pack

the neon stipe on the side was classic. i probably had one in every color

I wonder who decided that it was cool to dress like a cyclist in everyday fashion - like with matching jersey, shorts and cap?!? Anyway, I was among the many followers of this trend
