1. For the 2019 Dwayne Johnson

FOR HIM:

This outfit brings together key fashion trends from the 1990s and  IT. IS. FIRE. The glue holding it all together? adidas’ distinctive OZWEEGO sneakers. You can’t get more ’90s than this – a street culture-embracing chunky silhouette, matched with large oversized graphic tees, an oh-so-’90s fanny pack and bucket hat. Sport these and you’ll be looking as fly as Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

2. For the ultimate hypebae

FOR HER:

The 1990s did little to stop the 1980s neon-bright aerobics fashion craze from bleeding over to its era. For a footwear complement to this retro palette, the OZWEEGO’s vivid pops of solar yellow are perfectly apt. Throw in a holographic or a fluorescent orange bag and you’re more than ready to vibe it up like it’s the ’90s.

3. For the next Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

FOR HIM:

Anything and everything neon was the rage back then, and if you slapped it on a windbreaker, even more so. Plus, in our opinion, none rocked the neon windbreaker better than the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Put on a pair of the ’90s chunky adidas Yung-96 Chasm sneakers and you’ll be every bit bold and brash as the decade before. Make sure you finish off the look with a classic drawstring bag and the revived snapback. Soon your buddies will be giving you mad props for looking hella rad.
