According to stats from market research group NPD, the adidas Superstar ranked at number one in terms of dollar sales Nike Air Max Classic BW Dam last year in the U.S., which is the world’s largest sneaker market. Powell elaborated, “This is the first time a Nike product has not been on top in more than a decade.”
While the remaining nine sneakers in the top ten were Nike styles, or from the brand’s subsidiaries like Converse Asics Gel Lyte 5 Donna and Jordan, it doesn’t take hard metrics to see that adidas has been picking up a lot of steam in the lifestyle market since 2015, and this upward trajectory shows no signs of stopping, with adidas’s continuation of key partnerships and collaborations.
It’s hard to overstate the Nike Air Max 90 Femme Fleur importance of the adidas Superstar to streetwear culture and, obviously by extension, hip hop. As Angelo Anastasio, adidas’ marketing director between 1984 and 1991 claims in the “Just for Kicks” sneakers doc, in the early ’80s, “the Superstar was dead. But Run DMC singlehandedly Nike Air Max 2016 Pink brought that shoe back”.
When the group burst onto American airwaves and started making it big in 1982, they did it as the first black hip hop group to dress in the same way as they dressed on the streets of their native Hollis, in Queens. Run DMC supplied a look that seemed to fit hip Nike Air Max 95 Womens hop’s sounds more than anything that’d come before, with Godfather and bucket hats, leather jackets and black jeans worn with white adidas Superstars, with the “shell toes” worn sans laces. Why no laces? Cos this was the look forced upon people in jail, and worn as a style Adidas Gazelle Donna statement by those outside of it.
It’s hard to imagine now, but that look, and that deliberate reference made by Jam Master Jay, D.M.C. and Rev. Run to people serving time, caused a small storm across the US, not least within certain parts of the black community as well. It resulted Nike Air Huarache Femme in Dr. Gerald Deas, an older man, also of Hollis, to pen the anti-sneaker “positive” rap track “Felon Sneakers” in 1985, with two others under the name Creative Funk. Run DMC responded in style, releasing their famous love song to the sneaker, “My Adidas“, in 1986. Not long after, Nike Roshe Run Dam adidas and Run DMC signed the first deal between a hip hop artists and a major corporation, with a Run DMC-endorsed line of adidas wear following not after.
