NYC ... Take calim to the AF1 Mid (It was made for ya'll bama's "UPTOWN" ... thus the name you choose to use to reference the AF1 by ...)
But on the real ... you and everyone who cops, copped, will cop or even thinks of copping a pair knows that the shoe had it's best run in Bmore/DC first ...
Then ya'll got on them later ... just like most of the styles you ADOPTED from us in DC back in the day ...
Let it go homie ... I was there ...
Now i see why the "DMV" vs "NYC" will never end, cats like you trying to Degrade the value of NYC influence. Since your soinformative you should know that NYC never embraced the af1 mid, its hated by most almost all, the new kids on the block are wearing them but real AF1 headswear Lows & Highs.
Harlem cats embraced the AF1 before anyone in the area thus the nickname UPTOWNS.
Now back to the "Styles NYC adopted from DC back in the day" Now what time period are you talking about ?
From what i know Its NY first then everyone else jumps on the wagon, Guess?, Tommy Hill, Sean john,
Early 80's it was gucci, Early 90's it was Ralph Lauren, what was adopted again?
You sound like you got put on to the AF1 when Nelly made that stupid song that made the price of AF1 soar! (give me two purr)
At the end of the day go ahead & claim the foams & AF1, NYC is home of Hiphop & Rap, or are you gonna take that one too?
