Summary
- A$AP Rocky uses a balaclava to travel NYC subways unnoticed.

Rapper A$AP Rocky disclosed a surprising method he employs for traveling through New York City unnoticed: wearing a balaclava, commonly referred to as a "shiesty." During a recent episode of Complex's Sneaker Shopping, Rocky explained that he dons this accessory when using the subway to maintain a sense of anonymity and stay grounded.
This revelation came up during a discussion about fashion accessories on The Questlove Show. Pooh Shiesty, whose name has become associated with the balaclava trend, acknowledged the accessory's impact. He noted that such headwear is essential for discreet movement, especially in urban environments like the subway system, enabling travel that wouldn't be possible with a regular appearance.
