We’re sure you remember JNCO from the halls of your middle and/or high school. After all, who could forget the sight of their absurdly wide legs blowing in the wind, those logo patches, and probably a few chains hanging down from them? Though they’ve been pretty sparse since the JNCO factory closed in 2000, their ghost has lingered in nostalgic conversations, ironic Halloween costumes, and #TBT Instagrams. That ghost is about to be revived, though. In a very important announcement from Women’s Wear Daily, we’ve learned that JNCO will come rocketing back to the scene, thanks to an investment from Chinese company Guotai Litian. So what exactly can we expect? Three different collections: core, fashion, and heritage. There’s been some teasers on the JNCO Instagram and website (they showed at Liberty Fairs a few weeks ago), and it certainly seems like they’ve made an effort to advance their stuff. But don’t give up all hope, the heritage capsule will have those crazy leg openings from your past. It’s all just more proof that what’s old can always be new again (even JNCOs).
