Shiesty Mask

For those wondering, the term "Shiesty" is American slang that conveys the notion of being shifty or untrustworthy. The term's surge in popularity can be attributed to Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty, who is renowned not only for impressive lyrical ability but also for the distinctive black ski mask that he wears in imagery and performances. Historically, ski masks and balaclavas have long been associated with anonymity and mystique. More recently, the cold-weather staples have become sartorial must-haves in many circles. Offered in a variety of materials, including warm knit wool, technical nylon and shaggy mohair, designer and vintage Sheisty masks are crafted by the likes of Nike, Bape, Coogi and Balenciaga to name a few.
