The Cut by KEVIN LUCHMAN: The Sonic Boom was inspired by the popular 90s video game Street Fighter and the character Guile, a Major in the U.S. Air Force who wore a flat top style. This, along with the American and UK barbering trend of creating a high skin fade which creates a longer length at the front, a decreasing one towards the crown area and a square shape throughout, formed the basis of this look.
