# Classic Skateboard Cargo Pants Dwindle Distribution is Reviving the Ghetto Wear Brand By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-02-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-cargo References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/ghetto-wear-comeback/#slide-7) & [thankyousupply](https://thankyousupply.com/) After what-some-might-say a lengthy hiatus, [iconic Ghetto Wear brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subware) is returning with an updated version of its classic skateboard cargo pant. The original trousers were developed back in 1991 by famed [professional skateboarders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards) Steve Rocco and Rodney Mullen. Their product completely dominated the skate scene in the 90s. The incredibly comfortable skateboard cargo pant design boasted a relaxed fit and a 100% durable twill that ensured that they could withstand and appropriately adjust to the physically demanding environment of urban skateboarding. The revived Ghetto Wear pant features a back patch, adjustable waist tabs and logo embroidery on the same performance-sustaining fabric. The model of the skateboard cargo trouser comes in knee- and full-length, featuring a classic tan and a dark military green color palette.
