Young Thug: style icon? He just might be. Since his “Stoner” start, Thugger Thugger has captivated the rap world with his spastic flows, silly social media presence and off the wall wardrobe. Rocking anything and everything, Thug is a classic case of the man making the clothes. His gender bending sartorial choices see his swagger more Mick Jagger than that of contemporary trap titans, still laced in designer kicks, Air Jordans and sportswear staples just the same.
Yup, Young Thug dresses the way he raps: unpredictable. However, if one thing’s close to consistent it’s his kicks. If you dig all the way back to his early days of IG before he blew up, you’ll find shoe shots galore. Following the release of Barter 6, we profile his footwear steps in the latest CSS Spotlight.
