I bought my jansport for 20 bucks my junior year and i still use it for college and to put all my tools in it when i go to the junkyard.

the roller backpacks were hilarious in JR. High, the kids that usually had them were the nerds that would run to class and someone would always kick it and make the kid loose their balance and fall haha pretty funny but sucked..

Firestorm

when i was in school, everyone...really EVERYONE rocked an eastpak worn with only one strap and so low it would bounce of your ass all the time walking around. it was the shit back then.

tricky_ab

I use two straps anytime I'm using my backpack (I still use one when I'm out for a BMX session).

I just rocked the $20 jansport during highschool, just put my notebooks in there and left my textbooks in my locker. hated having a huge backpack and looking like a freshmen.

i always wanted a lazynator though, but the backpack itself was fucking huge.

upsdude

eventually kids won't need to carry heavy-ass backpacks because textbooks will be downloadable into kindle/kindle-type devices. well...that would be sweet if that were to happen.

turbobrick

I always wore my backpack a little low, but not all the way down like most kids.
The last backpack I bought was in like 99 when I started 8th grade. I still use it all the time too, the zippers dont work so well anymore though.

mr_kill_666

at our school, security was a problem so we had to start using mesh or clear plastic back pack. this is what i used.

Jimmy Up

You didnt have anything to do with those problems though right

Manuelitoohno

everyone wears jansports all the way up.

and they tag something on the pocket LOL


thank god were done with the saggy backpack phase

WanganRunner

I still can't stand messenger bags. I'm an Associate at a private equity firm and I still come in every day with a backpack. Manhattan Portage, usually. None of that attache/messenger bag shit for me.


If I was still in HS/college, I'd probably carry one of these:








I can't get away with shit like that or a Supreme pack or something at the office.


EDIT: What *is* up with all the preschool character stuff? I saw some big dude sitting on a curb smoking a Black & Mild last week wearing Spongebob socks. Bright fucking yellow. I've seen a TON of weird little girly Spongebob or whatever backpacks on way older kids, maybe even early 20's people. WTF?

!Zar!

Hah.

I don't think I would've been able to appreciate a Porter backpack if I had it when I was a kid.

I guess I sorta get that, but I'd probably do it with something less gay than a Spongebob backpack.

I LOL at modern kids trying to leech off our awesome late-80's-early-90's childhood because theirs is inferior.



EDIT: I have kinda wanted to start carrying around one of these though, which definitely pre-dates my own childhood (it's a '79 walkman), so I guess it's sort of the same mentality:

zorak

I had a north face. Always used both straps. I did the one strap thing back in middle school I think.

zorak

I think thats only cool if you actually remember those shows.

Remember the white ranger? And when the movie came out? Ivan Ooze?

Yeah, now you can wear the t-shirt.

!Zar!

When the black ranger was actually black...

Whaaat he isnt black anymore? This is not the power rangers I remeber, where the Asian girl was the Yellow ranger, and the Black Jamaicanish kid was the Black ranger.

You're telling me my ninja turtles shirt and my batman muscles vest haven't always been cool?


Sir, I disagree.
