Eastpak(Throwback Item of the Day)

Ahhhhhhhh.... "memories.. misty water colored memories"....LOL.. I think I went through about 6 of these between elementary school and college.. IceColdBrotha was not down with "carrying" books in hand. Mt very first one was just like the pic above (a much darker blue though) I remember in middle school I had a black one with black leather at the bottom.. you couldn't tell me NOTHING!!!. During my nerdy stage (middle school) I use to bring all my books home (regardless of homework). It felt good having an Eastpak on my back. All the cool kids had an Eastpak. Sure the zippers broke constantly and my back strap was ripped apart(from carrying it on one shoulder) but the Eastpak Co would certainly fix it for you. It's amazing the things that made you feel good when you were growing up. I'm not even sure if they make Eastpak anymore but I certainly enjoyed my experience with them.

I do not think there would be any one product or item that truly defines my middle school and early high school experience like an Eastpack. Can you say 8 DIFFERENT COLORS? I was an Eastpack fiend! This one was REALLY a throwback...waaaay back, thanks bro!

My joint was navy blue too. It was the hotness. When I came to college, I had the messenger bag.

Eastpak was EVERYTHING
