The '80s are back big time in the world of Appaman! The Brooklyn-based street-chic line for kids is taking a leap back in time to the early '80s for its ombré and tracksuit-filled Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

For boys — where Appaman has always been a purveyor of cool clothes both on and off the playground — expect to see plenty of cool t-shirt designs including swooshes, moon men, and a collaboration with graffiti artiest AVONE that highlights NYC landmarks, as well as khaki suits, surfer bathing suits, and windbreakers. On the girl side, you'll find retro graphic tees with images of ice cream cones and cherries, chambray dresses, and a great anorak for rainy Spring days.

Take look at the collection — a day before it hits store shelves — and see how easily you're transported back in time!
