You can see me wearing one in this post, and I quite like the look. I don’t consider this a shoulder bag due to its size. This is an evolution of the original fanny pack that is simply impossible to wear around the waist.

But i also throw one on when i feel like going full on modern street-wear!
I find myself wearing those when wearing shorts, because some shorts have smaller pockets which can’t fit all my stuff.
I feel these are more of a fashion statement, although they can be very practical. These fanny packs are more common, and some can even be very small. Because of its size, it actually looks great when i turn it on my back, like a backpack. It’s more of an urban workwear look as opposed to the raw streetwear look. Eastpak is known for creating affordable backpacks that will last a lifetime! It’s size makes it easy to put many things in it, like sunscreen, an extra t-shirt, my vape and much more (practical for festivals)! I recommend this specific one that i got on Brandfield from Eastpak and Dickies because it is well made and will endure a lot of friction and tension. Because it has a bigger and thicker strap, it is very comfortable to wear, even when it’s heavy. The big fanny pack, like the one I am wearing in the picture above, is more of a practical item to me than a fashion statement. But what made it flatline was the fact that dad’s started wearing them to the beach and other public places! Perhaps this new way of wearing it around the shoulder is a silent “fuck you” to the older generation of dads who wore it around the waist?įanny packs are not just fanny packs! Today, different types are available and the question is, which one should you choose? The fanny pack’s demise was mainly due to the fact that is was cheap to make, thus used as a marketing tool for many companies. And if jogging pants, sweat bands, sneakers, and leg warmers could be worn in public, then why the hell not a fanny pack?Īdweek named the fanny pack the hottest product of the year in 1988 and it was soon seen in Chanel ads on Claudia Schiffer, on members of Public Enemy and even wrestlers (i tried to erase the Rock’s infamous fanny pack picture from my mind, but without success). But in the late 80’s, a lot of the sportswear you would find at the gym and other places, slowly became mainstream. The fanny pack originally appealed to outdoor sports enthusiasts as a way of carrying a lunch, smaller equipment and many other things. A little research shows that Sports Illustrated had a fanny pack ad 8 years before the alleged australian woman was said to have invented it.īut this Sports Illustrated ad is a good way to start the story of the fanny pack (don’t worry, i will keep it short). But if you’re headed to the pool and just want to bring your towel and your favorite pool floatie, you could probably slip your keys into the “footie pack,” along with a couple bucks for refreshments.I am not going into who invented the fanny pack, because that story is shrouded in mystery.
But these babies are already so popular, stock is selling out fast.Īs you can see, the pocket is small, so it’s not like you can stuff your smartphone in there. The Nike Benassi JDI Fanny Pack Slides cost $50 and come in three colors (black, punch and green), and they’re only available in men’s sizes so far. Not only do they now come in bright neon colors, but they also include a handy zippered pocket which will help you go hands-free whenever possible. The new Nike slides resemble the traditional Benassi slides which have always been a summertime staple, but this year, they are getting a major upgrade. The ultimate ’90s accessory has been having a major moment lately, and now they are even taking over our footwear trends. Here is a genius shoe design that is going to simplify your summer: Nike has just unveiled their new slide - and it includes a built-in fanny pack!
