Russian-born designer Gosha Rubchinskiy has a major thing for '90s sportswear. His collections can always be counted on for some interpretation of the neon'd-out, swishy fabric decade in the form of Shia-approved track jackets paired with baggy jeans, Trasher Magazine logo rips, and tucked-in tees. Just a few months ago, Rubchinskiy turned inspiration into collaboration when he teamed up with Reebok, one of the most popular sneaker brands of the '90s (the Pump, anyone?). And it looks like that project was just the tip of the team-up iceberg, based off the designer's just-walked Spring/Summer 2017 runway show.

Staged during the Pitti Uomo trade show, Rubchinskiy's latest lineup featured a slew of collaborations with a host of Italian athletic labels, including Fila, Kappa, Sergio Tachinnii, and Lotto, shown on kids we can't highly doubt were even born before those labels' heydays.

Fila has been drumming up nostalgia-hype for a few season now, having recently turned out collaborations with cool guy sneaker shops like Concepts in addition to being stocked at mass mall stores like Urban Outfitters. The label was also recently sported by none other than style oracle André 3000. But it's Rubchinskiy's penchant for airlifting the best bits of these throwback brands into the high-fashion world that will suddenly give the labels a cool factor that no amount of money or endorsement contract can buy. (The young skater kids who would look cool in literal trash bags help too, as does Gosha's close ties to hyped-up labels like Supreme and Vetements.)

And make no mistake: Gosha's Comme Des Garçons-backed label is high-fashion for the occasion-less, gender agnostic, and genre-less world that is menswear in 2016. (It's weird, we know.) As the old fashion adage goes, everything old is new again. So get ready to see your local cool guy rocking these threads next year—which, really, is only problem with them. And what says '90s kids more than not wanting to wait around for new stuff?
