Exactly...but it's not suprising. That's what NY cats do...jump on something hella late then claim they originated it.
**Runs for cover**
It's gonna get ugly in this thread by sunset.

Also Bmore kept the AF1 alive...not Jewman (no disrespect, yeah he was gettin' em but no where near the amount Bmore was)..DTLR...Charlie Rudos..cinderella..sportsmart
Dopeboys was buyin' whole walls of AF1's...all colors in the all thru the 80's...Nike acknowledges the fact Bmore put AF1's on the map....
For the most part the NY mentality makes a lot of people dislike ya'll...you know the NY> the universe @@%%..

remember the GIANT billboard around my house with the 1800 number and everybody either loving em or hating em.
Jewman in the BX had air forces after the intial run in 1982 too...ask around, plus NYC supported those harder then ya ever did...hence our own NYC uptowns in
the mid 90's.
as far as nike boots, i seen em all, i mean c'mon we're NYC, we get everything. ya must be refering to cats outside harlem/uptown/BX....because not all
boros embraced the nike boot, and alot of people still swear by timbs all day.

Of course you do. You ny/nj cats love everything about us DC/MD natives.
The end of this argument is DC/MD>NY period.
Did we start wearing nike boots? Yes
Did we start wearing foams/flights first? Yes
Why can't ya'll just accept the fact that we start alot of trends and you tend to follow them.
I had to get out of town and think. We traveled to NYC to have a chat with Udi (training camp). Udi is a rad dude. He always has something to say. His words are written in my sketch book, "if you want to TAKE a category, you have to MAKE a category". That's some pretty damn profound +$#*. My take on that was, you have to create a reason for your customer to go there, not just make another product. We went out that night with Udi and a few of his boys; somewhere in the meatpacking district. Udi wanted to show me the consumer that spends $160 on a pair of
fly boots and the kind of "hiking" they do on the dance floor. Nice. That hurt Udi, but he was right.
From NYC it was onto Italy. I always liked Milan. As an art student studying design in Switzerland for a term, I would get on the train and go to Milan every weekend. Sometimes I would ride in an empty boxcar because all the seats were taken. I don't know why that city is so special to me but it gave me energy and inspiration. Maybe it was all the models walking around, the amazing fashion, the scooters, the coffee, the food and the wine. It's like paradise in a certain cosmo way. So I spent a few days in Milan and then went to Paris. Some of my friends played a joke on me and changed my room reservation to this +$#* hole next to a brothel in Pigialle. Dirty, !#$+*% room. It was so bad that I didn't want to lay in the bed, so i got some wine, bread and cheese and got crazy $+$+#$ up.
home boy went to NYC, found his swag and created the nike boots....THE END
flight/foamposites were always worn in NYC
think not?
where's ya DMV exclusive foamposites? cuz we sure have our NYC exclusivebring em out as TI would say.
