Last night Michael J. Fox was on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and he unveiled a pair of Nike Air Mags which Marty McFly wore in "Back to the Future II".
Do you remember slap bracelets? Of course you do! They were the biggest fad from the late 80s and early 90s that all of the radicool kids had. If you didn't have one, then obviously you weren't very radical or cool.
Slap bracelets were made out of flexible stainless steel "bistable" spring bands sealed within a fabric cover and they came in tons of colors and patterns! Screw the "Silly Bandz" that the kids are wearing today. Slap bracelets were soooo much cooler...
Eventually, they were banned in many schools (including ours) because kids were accidentally slitting their wrists. We never got injured and never even met a kid who got injured by one of these, but when we do meet you we are gonna slap you in the face. WATCH OUT...
Here is Pat Smear on MTV's "House of Style" in 1996. He was, of course, the guitarist for bands such as The Germs, Nirvana, and the Foo Fighters. "House of Style" was a show on MTV that focused on fashion, models, and the modeling industry.
In this video, models Shalom Harlow and Amber Valletta meet up with Pat Smear in New York City's East Village. They basically give Pat different clothes to wear and they take photos of him in several locations around the neighborhood. Sorry about the quality. The vhs tape we got it from has seen its last days. Luckily we saved it. Enjoy!
Stay tuned as we have many more rare videos during the "grunge years" that we'll be posting soon!!!
