Perhaps it was different in your area (I'm from Cali), but none of those joints mattered back in the day. Ewings and Magics were viewed as a "nice try" sneaker (even with Gangstarr pushing them on the cover of "Step In The Arena" and in the "Just To Get A Rep" Video).

Le Coq Sportif was more about sweatsuits and sweaters, their sneakers were wack. Fresh Prince and LL both gave them love (no pun intended).

Diadora was weak. Lottos had limited appeal (first time I saw interchangeable logos). Etonic had weak styles and a name that sounded more like a drink than a brand. LA Gears was mostly for women and Stevie B lookin' body builders. Dudes was rockin' the LA Gear Boots heavy though.

Avia was a dope brand, but the ones in the clip ain't nothing to talk about. De La is the only group I remember who had Avias in their video. Mutumbos was wack! Especially with that commercial where he says something like; "Man No Fly Over Mutumbo". Nonsense. Raekwon couldn't even make them dope on the first Wu cover.

Spaldings and Brooks was KMART. Enough said.

Meh..different strokes for different folks. Here in the Chicago area, it was primarily about Jordans in the 80's and 90's. But I always did like those Mutumbos. And I did have some LA Gears and Ewings back in elementary school.

The sneaker game was much more diverse back then, even though the lesser known brands bit hard off of popular Nike models.

There it is. Nike Force and Jordan models had the 80s and 90s on lock. Out here in Cali there were a few other brands that had a significant presence. Adidas, Saucony, Spot Bilt, Fila, Travel Fox, Reebok Pumps and BlackTops, KSWISS, and New Balance all got rocked and repped. Anything different out in Chicago during the period?

Ellesse were a favorite among the ladies. Didn't see many dudes rockin' them. Also, Guess had a canvas desert boot that was dope on females at the time too.

a name drop?  i feel honored!

that second pair of mutombos is CRAZY difficult to find.  dude has a ridiculous collection of the more underappreciated stuff.  a lot of people (including myself) tend to focus on nike/reebok but there really were some great sneakers coming out after companies realized nike basketball was caking in the late '80s.  some of the stuff he had i haven't seen in at least 15 years.  really taking me back.  brooks high tops?  hakeem etonics AND spaldings?  wow.

great vid, thanks
