He is dressed in an all-dark denim matching attire of jeans and jean jacket. Under his jacket, he appears to be wearing a solid black shirt, possibly with a turtleneck. Kid Freeze is accessorized with red frame glasses, a name belt with the last to two letters visible [OY], (presumably “B-Boy”) and a gold-colored necklace with a pendant.
