Thank you and enjoy the rest of this video What's going on everybody? Welcome to a very very special video fun grows here We got Richie Lee in the building what up and thank you for letting us use your set for sure We have a kind of throwback list video where we've kind of mapped out the different types of Asian heightbeats We have four different types of heightbeats that we're gonna be going over today This is a really important list because I think that there's a lot of different, you know There's a lot of different styles out right now But you just have to learn how to categorize so you can mix and match the way you want I would say now more so even than ever There's different categories of fashion and the way people are dressing and the way they're coming across So I'm excited to go over there There's probably like four main types of Asian heightbeats that you see in America number one is Hooper height Their style is rooted in basketball and sports. They wear a lot of Nike and Adidas Especially the more expensive pieces number two music hype their style is more artistic and rooted in music punk rock and skate This is probably the biggest style that's trending right now in 2020 number three corporate hype This guy likes hype gear, but it's still dressing fortune 500 safe It's almost like a mixture between GQ menswear with a little bit of hype number four International hype it's very flashy and very expensive with a lot of designer brands that you may or may not be familiar with now Those are the four main styles But there's a lot of smaller ones like retired hype beast or tech wear guy You can have a mixture of different styles, but it's just fun to think about and by the way We are no means saying that we are fashion experts. In fact, we just made this up All right So we got four different types of Asian heightbeats and the first one that we're gonna talk about is the Hooper guy Now let me just rattle off some characteristics of this guy that we've kind of given him um Favorite sport is almost always basketball. Maybe their favorite music is rap. That's probably true They take on more of that traditional kind of Nike in Jordan Lane You know, they might wear basketball shorts in with the hype outfit. They do like Nike and BAPE They have some athleisure wear or they part of a hoop leak Yes, these guys they do want to let the world know that they do hoop and the reason the 11 is the Ultimate Hooper shoe even though crazy enough. It's out right now in 2020, right? It's out. It's not the hot issue breaks my heart I'm waiting. I've been saying this on my channel. I've been waiting for Virgil to make make these hot again Make the 11 hot again And I feel like there's different levels of the Hooper guy where on one level you're actually wearing Legit performance basketball shoes and this is where this comes into play because this is in between This is a solid performer, but it's not a Kobe right now I would say a good Indication between levels between this one is if they play or if they're just a huge fan of the NBA because there's a difference to me You know who who who they might dress like on the very top end Nate Robinson. I Feel like Nate Robb. You show Nate Robb has the true Hooper style in my opinion Bob Bito would argue that at its very core when about when sneaker collecting started in New York City It was actually a hybrid between sport and music always well the essence of Sneakers is culture being about it And so when I was having conversations with him He was saying there is no separation between how you dress and then what you're doing So if you hoop you better look like a Hooper like you better have that's how it originates All right, you guys a few sneakers that I have that are classics Amongst the Asian Hooper height beast the Air Jordan 3 Yeah, the Air Jordan for a good one. Okay, the Air Force one Air Max 90. They love Kobe's Kobe's Kobe's You know how you were saying though, it's more like GR Jordans I've seen them with the rare Kobe's though. That's different than like they'll wear Grinch Kobe sixes The hot take from the Asian Hooper height beast the Kobe line is An acceptable shoe to wear for lifestyle. Yes, that is an Asian Hooper opinion Boom big no-nose for this group shoes that are dirty or shoes that do not fit with the hip-hop Sporty image. I have this as their grails red October's Say Kobe six grins. Yeah, you're right up NBA players who kind of stay in lane number one Devon Booker Okay, he more so Stays away from the more hipster rocker subculture influence. He's more of a pure sporty guy number two is the music guy Okay, now we let's conjure up some images here. You know, they're really in the subculture They might listen to Tyler the creator juice world 88 rising a little bit more hipster people in the NBA who dress like this Might be a little bit more like shy Kelly Ubre. They wear logos. They wear a lot more vintage They'll they'll dabble into the rock band T's, you know, some of the more like distressed Westbrook was one of the guys to first like Push this in the league, right? The league was so stuck in lane number one So let's talk about a lot of the popular shoes that they would wear David the Air Jordan one for sure night Nike Dunk SB CDG Chuck Taylor the Yeezy Adidas Yeezy Yeah, their grails are probably Dior Jordan ones any Travis Scott Collabo rare SB's hype stuff Yeah, well, these are more of the guys who wear like the oversized T's. Yeah It's big. I mean, this is like the main type of outfit you right You see right now on like league fits Tyler heroes really like trying to get into this lane I think this is the most Trendiest look right now. Well, it's very very influenced by fear of God fear of God like rocker It's kind of like the thing right now because it's it's the best of both worlds You still get like sneakers like a Jordan one that still represent basketball But you have a hype element with the collabs. Would you say the first guy to really bring this to the NBA? Maybe was like Nick Young Yeah, I mean Nick Nick young always quotes himself saying he was the starter of the whole league fits like paying attention to Outfits and we're not trying to look like a rapper on the way to the basket. Yeah, he did a good job He did a good job at that man. Who else who else I try to get to another level to you know It's funny is like I feel like longs of all so a number one, but he's been trying to dabble in but you can tell that It's a number one It's funny. It's funny music is hugely influenced clothing right now like even more than sports Would you say this is the trendiest style on Instagram? It's the trendiest right now. It's right. It's what's getting reposted It's it's it's huge. It's just more harder to pull off, right? So that's why it's more like something's harder people want to gravitate pulling it off more, right? Yeah, you get more skill points, you know the Hooper that's just as easy, you know I just don't want certain pieces you're there But this one's like you got to put together outfits and stuff So I think that's what it's like it's a challenge almost to a lot of people Do you think this style is timeless like once it's here to stay kind of the vintage oversized tea like it? It's nothing's timeless. Oh Everything's coming back Levin's coming back soon. It's all a cycle. It's all a cycle fire again I can't wear this style. I I I have a cow lower II have a cow lowery PJ Tucker body You want to hang in earring or not I Can't do the hanging earring the third type of Asian hypebeast here is the corporate hype slash menswear hypebeast so these are Asian guys who Maybe they work a nine to five or a corporate job, but one they seem like they could they keep their outfits usually clean Nothing super distress oversized and edgy. Here's some of the things they like ultra boost and NMD's I think these guys own a pair of Jordan ones, but they don't have like maybe the hypers ones Okay, they don't have like the fact the fragments. Yeah, I could see that I could maybe one pair of like Royals or shadows. Well, 97s are a good one 97s 90s. They're tying their forces Yeah, if they wear them. I'm tight. They're tying them tight They like their jeans a little bit more like on the safer end, you know, the mid-wash ones I'll say blazers are a good one their grail would be the off-white blazers not the Shawn Weathers Yeah, I'm a little loud. These could still be worn with like a dress shirt the blazers They're into the hype stuff, but they don't think that maybe they should look like rappers themselves Like they don't try to look like Travis Scott. They don't want to commit too hard into that hype lane You don't want to be like in the wild and see your boss and their boss is like what the f**k are you wearing? All right, the number four type of Asian hype beast is International hype. Oh It's a good one. All right, let's just pop up some pictures. They are hype I would say a lot of their outfits are loud They have a lot of brands, but I you can really put together some really dope outfits that I've seen even though They'd look they'd look so expensive. How about how about not just the off-white 10 collection We're talking about just off-white period. Yeah, yeah, they did they are loyal to the off-white So that's the one thing about these guys is there's a lot of high-beast that Only fall into the Nike off-white, but they will do the off-white That's that's a brand like I feel like they follow Virgil the Moe and they probably were on Pyrex before that Pyrex Givenchy, you love MCN MCM backpacks are being You know what it's a big thing that differentiates them from the music lane I do not think that this group cares that much about resale value. They care about the retail value They care about retail not the resale and I feel like a few years ago A lot of them used to get knocked for just having logo mania But a lot of them actually have like really cool well put together outfits now. Yeah, I can see that I can see that like it's still kind of like a lot for a lot of people like oh, I what point it was getting crazy I think and people were just like labeling it too much, but the one thing I noticed is they'll still eat at the cheap Chinese spot. Yeah The spot that's the good food. Hey, you know, there's a part of me that really likes me because I like just like the colors But uh, literally the outfits are like way more expensive moving on Here's are some smaller niches and maybe we'll give them their own Lane or we have to categorize them underneath something else the retired height beast designer the Ronnie five Kith Jeff staple Perhaps the younger version would be kind of the corporate corporate. It falls into that a little bit Yeah, I feel like these are a lot of the height beast who have been in the game for a while to have families now You know what I see I see LeBron actually interface with a lot of designers from this generation Whether it's John Elliott or Ronnie five that is true LeBron has a little he appreciates art Yeah, like if you look at his collaborations he did with Keith It's like floral prints and like, you know a pretty artistic drag or a lion. All right, how about this? How about this? I got Japanese fashion guy and tech wear guy, which are kind of like semi related with each other So Japanese fashion guy art is people who wear like literally cuts that are inspired or directly from Japanese designers trousers Samurai pants really high cut sneakers like the Rick Owen dunks I think the reason that we put Japanese fashion guy and tech wear guy, which is like your you know, super future year 3000. Yeah, they're sort of like slightly separated, but there's a lot of crossover acronym could be worn by both Yeah, we're talking about Stone Island project shadow. Yeah could go either way Yeah, tech wear is a style that you see that's a little bit more common than the Japanese I guess fashion style in America and it's it's taken a little bit more of a foothold. It is related This is this is the lane that really acronym falls in Nike lab. Yeah They'll still I feel like these guys are still like ultra boost. So yeah, boo shoes Yeah, with the pants with the cuffed pants at the bottom pulled up a little bit the fashion baller guy We had an argument about it. We had to just throw it out. That's not hype Huh? The fashion old GQ s wire guy Q guy with the same lot shoes with like a APC bomber. He's not on the hype Yeah, because I feel like cuz I feel like complex GQ is getting a little hype, but then Esquire is still down here where they're like only suits only Speaking for even me and David. We've been tweening between styles a lot mostly Tweening is cool though, tweening is cool, but I didn't it's cool. You know what? I feel like here's the issue It's not that there's no problem I mean you can be whoever you want, but I felt like for me for example a lot of my Outfits were mixed up. You're skipping like lanes to another like you far far land to like oh Basketball guy wouldn't wear that. Also. It also comes down to like what you would feel comfortable into that's your intuition and what you're When you put on something, how do you feel for the guys that are typically like me? Which are almost like 80% Hooper pick more classier if you got to stick with Nike and you're like a Nike boy You got to elevate it because Nike has so many different levels now to their clothes Try to stick with like the upper 30% for sure for sure Because if you're like wearing like big five Nike clothes it still puts you in that lane But it's just not gonna look grown. No, no, not all Nike pieces just because I got a swoosh on it Does not make it the same thing. I guess for me rich I'm trying to refine my style perhaps find it. What's gonna work for me? I like the for you maybe that Keith Lane because you know Keith is still sports Influence it's New York. No, I definitely have you know why I know that that works because I I bought some bodega new balances 997s and I was just getting Compliments on compliments from all types of people who would never compliment Jordans real quick just to wrap up guys I want to talk about a few things that kind of like flow between lanes I feel like that's why a lot of people like essentials at PacSun you get you get the music lane And you get what made the corporate lane. Yeah, you get a menswear, you know more like proper look That's why I think and that's what cut and sew is fear of God You're still getting like a proper look at the end of the day. You wear what you want to wear wear What makes you feel confident, but there are certain styles and pieces that go with different looks Yeah And it's always important to reflect on what type of image you're trying to get across and stuff So that's why these videos are always helpful for me David I've definitely been deeply rooted in the Hooper hype style in high school playing on the basketball team Everyone was wearing tall tees and I was always in a Japanese fashion somewhat and general men's wear as well So I've got to say that those two makeup at least 20 to 30 percent of my style identity as I've gotten older I've definitely started to try out other genres such as the retired hype beast Ronnie five designer lane I think that the Hooper style will make up a smaller and smaller percentage of my wardrobe But I wouldn't be surprised if it's always one of the top two genres for me Andrew my current style is a little bit of a mash-up of equal part Hooper music and corporate hype You know that makes for a unique outfit, but it doesn't really make sense I always get compliments when I wear something that actually flows together and fits my image And as I get older to be honest, I appreciate that a lot more So it's important to ask yourself what fashion means to you Is it to wear whatever you feel like wearing which is totally fine or do you want it to make sense to people?
