In the early and mid-2000s, throwback jerseys were a hip-hop staple. The trend died out as more streetwear and high-fashion items invaded the culture, but ever so slightly, throwback jerseys are making a tasteful comeback. With Drake, Wale, Curren$y, and many other influencers bringing their old jerseys back out of the closet, a small comeback is being mounted. Still, it's doubtful that we'll ever see it dominate the game like it once did. So ride with us as we remember Hip-Hop's NBA Throwback Jersey Trend.
