If there was ever a time you desiered to walk through concert doors or roam all over coliseum floors, it very well might be now. No, there’s not another Live Aid/8 benefit concert coming up to commemorate the fifth birthday of the last one, but instead an anniversary for one of the first explicit instances of overlap between hip-hop culture and major sneaker brands. The Run-DMC x adidas Originals Superstar 80s ’My adidas’ 25th Anniversary edition commemorates five x five years since the song that gave a name to Three Stripes online customization service first hit radio airwaves. These are unique for their use of custom embroidery on the rear as well as a dookie rope dubrae; are they the greatest shelltoe release of the last quarter-century? Click through to see some more images and expect these in stores starting Friday, November 11th, a fittingly timed release for one of the rap game’s oldest veteran groups. via HB

Nice, wouldnt have the gold on personally, but i love these guys and missed the last one. R.I.P JMJ.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:01 pm
its not a braid its a gold chain …because they wore gold rope chains
October 21st, 2011 at 10:37 pm
I know what you're saying and I agree 1000% … don't like the rope chain that looks cheap and gimmicky and *Run on one shoe and DMC on the other is the way to do it. Dope collab regardless. What can I say, though. It's tricky …

…. been thinking about this and I'm wrong. It should be "JMJ" on the outside because it's honoring their lost member in the group that was shot and killed almost 9 years ago. Hell yeah, good move Adidas. This is great for collecting, for rocking, and for representing real hip-hop. Must copp!

I'm not a big Adidas fan nor Run-DMC fan but definitely these are nice

Children, children, children, that's the OG-style gold dookie-rope chain on the laces…Run, Kane, Rakim, Stetsa, EPMD, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, LL, KRS-One, etc…learn your hip-hop history (my 36 year old ass learnin' y'all some ish)!
October 22nd, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Rock em with no laces!
October 26th, 2011 at 12:37 am
YOU HATE RUN DMC & THEIR SNEAKERS 'CAUSE YOU GOT NO STYLE AND YOU'RE BORING. FIGURES YOU'D SIGN WITH RICK ROSS…. DO US ALL A FAVOR AND KILL URSELF.
