The main goal of a breaking dancer is to combine comfort, convenience, freedom of movement, and style in their outfit. Don't confuse traditional rapper clothing with b-boy and b-girl attire. B-boys rarely sag their pants because it hinders leg movement. Typically, b-boys wear sportswear from brands like Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Tribal, Biggest & Baddest, and Puma. Additionally, there are several important accessories in a b-boy's wardrobe that help keep them safe, such as wristbands, hats, knee pads, and elbow pads.
I'd like to add that this trend came to us from 1980s America, and it has become a CLASSIC. And as we know, classics never go out of style. To this day, you can still find shoes like Puma Suede, Adidas Allstars and Gazelle, Nike Air Max and Cortez on store shelves. These footwear brands reached their peak fame at the end of the last century and remain popular to this day.
