A trip down memory lane...
Trends often make a comeback, but there are some things that have left us for good. Experiences, fashion, and the way of life that you may have had when you were younger are now simply out of date.
Today we honour moments that we miss from the "good old days".

- Platform shoes
Made popular by the Spice Girls, platform shoes were the in-thing. As they begin to make a comeback, fashionistas around the world are beaming with excitement.
If we're going to bring anything back from the 90s, my vote is the platform tennis shoes the Spice Girls always wore and I wanted so bad but could never find 😭 pic.twitter.com/4fCbfNEVcO

- Tiger Jackets and Crown Shirts
Unique fashion choices left an iconic mark on the 90s era. In this day and age, we can still see people wearing this style, so has it really gone away?
- Dragon Ball Z
It was a distant memory that almost every 90s baby knows. Every Monday to Thursday at exactly 5pm on SABC2, South Africans' eyes were glued to the screen for Dragon Ball Z.

- Skateboard Parks
Way back when, skateboard parks used to be incredibly popular. The young and young at heart used to go for rides for hours on end at the various parks that were available.
Luckily, there are two skate parks still available in KwaZulu-Natal; the Durban Skate Park and the Ballito Skate Park.
