By now many of you might be familiar with the [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-life-fullzip-unlined-jacket) Varsity Destroyer jacket, but until you've seen the Tim Barber Nike Destroyer lookbook, I don't think you knew just how badass it is.

Taking the [retro route](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marty-supreme), the Tim Barber Nike Destroyer catalog shows bike gangs at their finest. Through the camaraderie of like-minded individuals, there's a sense of belonging that has always been associated with the [classic Letterman jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greaser-garage-jacket), yet Barber makes sure not to fall down the nostalgic and sentimental hole too far.
