Hi-top Fades Are Back

Yesterday was Presidents Day, but that doesn't mean good hair got to take the day off. On the contrary, some of the hippest hair was out on the streets, waiting for attention. Of course, once attention was paid, everyone got a little camera shy. But so it goes when you're a teenager with an amazing hi-top fade. Behold:

dislikeSaw Kid n' Play open for Public Enemy at the Coliseum in 1989 a few days after one of Heavy D.'s dancers died flipping off some riser before the Indianapolis show. Heavy D. & The Boyz weren't on the bill, of course, but Kid n' Play and Digital Underground with a lil dancer named Tupac was.
Just slightly tangential, but that's what the high-top fade always recalls in my memory. These boys were but a glimmer in someone's eye!
Ooh. Much worse than a flip off a riser. RIP Trouble T Roy.
