Hip Check

Want your kids to make the grade? Dress ’em like rock stars.

By Rachel Baker

You’d like to think you can teach your children that looks don’t matter, that school is not a fashion show. But you’re not that naive. And anyway, a kick-ass pair of early-’90s-inspired limited-edition sneaks like those seen here might just persuade the in crowd to invite your precious strivers to park their brown bags at the cool kids’ table. If that doesn’t do the trick, the styles on the next pages will.

CAPTION: From left, Vans skull-check Old Skool, $50, Bodega; Reebok Pump Omni Lite Easter, $110, Karmaloop; Nike SB Tokyo Taxi, $80, Laced.
