These objects that marked the 90s

What are the objects that defined the 90s?

The 1990s, a decade often associated with technological innovation and booming pop culture, saw the emergence of many iconic objects that marked an entire generation. Whether you're nostalgic for the 90s or simply curious to discover what made hearts beat faster back then, let's dive into a retro journey to explore the iconic objects of this unforgettable decade.

Tamagotchi, the virtual pet

In 1996, the Tamagotchi was launched, a small egg-shaped electronic device containing a virtual pet. Children and teenagers had to feed, play and take care of their Tamagotchi to keep it alive.

Game Boy, the portable gaming revolution

Launched by Nintendo in 1989, the Game Boy revolutionized the world of portable video games. With iconic titles like "Tetris" and "Pokémon", this console has given gamers an unparalleled gaming experience, even on the go!

 

Furby, the Interactive Creature

 In 1998, Tiger Electronics introduced Furby, a small robotic toy that could talk, move and respond to human interactions. With its ability to "learn" and "talk", Furby has quickly become a must-have for the holiday season.

 

Walkman and Discman , music on the move

Cell Phones 

Although bulky and expensive, the first cell phones began to become more common in the 1990s. These devices laid the foundation for mobile communication as we know it today.

 

Yak Bak and Talkboy 

The Yak Bak and Talkboy were popular toys that allowed children to record and play back sounds and voices. These gadgets have added a touch of fun and creativity to children's games.

 

Slap bracelets

Fabric-covered metal bracelets that wrapped around the wrist with a simple slap were a popular fashion accessory on playgrounds.

 

Polly Pocket

DVD and DVD players 

DVD began to replace VHS tapes, offering better picture and sound quality.

 

With a touch of melancholy, we revisited the cult objects of the 90s, witnesses of a bygone era. Technological progress has made these icons of yesteryear obsolete: the flip phone has given way to the smartphone, the walkman has undergone multiple evolutions before merging into a mobile application, and so on. However, against all expectations, today we are rediscovering these 90s emblems which are resurfacing in our daily lives: vintage vinyls, watches and sneakers compete for the spotlight with current connected trends.

It is in this spirit that iné draws its inspiration, paying homage to this emblematic decade while meeting contemporary challenges. The brand offers sneakers with a timeless design, designed in an eco-responsible approach using recycled materials, thus combining the essence of the 90s with modern environmental awareness.
