That doesn't mean nothing. IT doesnt change the fact that The WORLD KNOWS DC FOR FOAMS. Foam nation is DC. ITs plain and simple. You wearing them from your NY yearbook don't mean anything. Your just 1 little fella. Aye, you almost 30 Steezy?
da typical NY hoodlum has all of these in their closet....i dunno how or who believes that foams is something DC created

WUTTT????
they dooooooo.....you just proved my point!...if they were released nationwide, how in the world do you say an NYer saw a DMVer with some unknown space looking shoe and decided to bring it over to NY??...Ny has been o it since the beginning, so has the DMV, NY moved on to other things for the most part, some NYers remained loyal, the entire DMV area remained loyal to foams and clamied the foam capital of the world, like i said keep that title and like ninja said NY will continue to be the fashion capital of the world.Originally Posted by Lubu1

But Steezy I thought Nike released sneakers nationwide? Do they release Jordans in NY first before they release them everywhere else? YAll get shoes before Air Randy?
Idk why you argue though. The way the typical NY lame dresses now, is how dc has been dressing so that's what they saying when it comes to stealing fashion. I seen you in wdywt and you don't fit into that, but a lot of ny dudes now do. But again, that's the lame dudes. DMV started a trend that's beyond whack, which is everyone dressing alike down to the sneakers. The fashion in itself is not bitten, the fact you can go on any given block and everyone is dressed the same, and tomorrow will wear the same outfit in a different color way is dmv all day. Let them have that.Originally Posted by ksteezy

The typical DC dude got all of those, PLUS DUNCANS, PLUS FLIGHTPOSITIES, PLUS PIPPENS, PLUS TRAINNERS AND TURFS FROM THE 90S -TO PRESENT. Once again yall behind. Sorry Ninja
DC DUDES were the first to REP HARD FOR FOAMPOSITES. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. Go ask DJ Kool about Foams. Ask Biz Markie, Ask Clue about when he came to DC and saw foam mania, ask any NY dude in Entertainment and they will explain how hard DMV REPS foams. We been loyal to the brand AND ERRR BODY KNOWS IT. Why you think Wale breaks out the new foamposites first? IT aint cause hes jsut a rapper, its cause he reps the DMV sneaker culture and once them foams break here, thats when NY dudes start craving them. This year Nike dropping Wale/DC based foamposites. Quote me on that Steezy.Originally Posted by ksteezy

foams sold out in NY when they first released, just so happens that fashion trends in NY change every season, so what was hot yesterday is not hot today, thats always been NY...the foam craze was dope back in 1997-2000....then it faded, CWs sat on shelves, some dudes remained loyal, !$%$ i rocked foams well into 2005 and always had 1 or 2 pairs in my closet until this very day, i rarely wear them though...for the most part ive moved on, on any random day youll catch me in them, but i wont stay dipped in them day in and out like perhaps the average DMVer would...i guess thats why you guys pride yourselves in foams, honestly foams have a nostalgic value to me and my childhood, but my appeal for them went out the window long ago.
Fabricate your own argument, I'll ignore it. Nobody said anything about which area is the BIGGEST SNEAKER market in the world. So cut that out rightcha now. I stated what shoes DC reps for and is known for. Please COMPREHEND THAT NINJA. Yall can keep the jordans(jordans are only worn here by deep sneaker collectors or the people who just want that new hot retro jordan) , yall can have your Vans x supreme colab and your ASics x fish duck collabs and all that other moo cow mess. DC is HOME TO THE FOAMPOSITES, TURFS, AND CROSS TRAINNERS AND GREY NEW BALANCES. Nobody gives a care about FCNY, yall can have that. Yall can have the air force 1 too. DC dudes thought that mess was ugly. Only dudes in the DMV rocking forces were the lame dudes. DC been foam and turf based from day one.Originally Posted by ninjahood
umm, you really wanna even ENTERTAIN da thought of DC being a bigger sneaker market per capita then NYC?ya biggest commercial district is probably dwarfed by fordham road in da BX ALONE...
we're da home of FCNY for crying out loud...footlocker's MAIN WORLDWIDE HEADQUARTERS is right here in manhattan...da FIRST house of hoops was here in NYC.
we had our own NYC air force I's since da early 90's b...ya DC cats will ALWAYS be 2nd banana to NYC when it comes to this kick game.
yes yes yes yes!!!!!....if we are talking current day, ya got it, no arguing that...but my dude....im talking 1996-2000 when they were first dropped....i dont give a damb who was repping them, all i know is i grew up in NY and i know what was hot at least in my community and that was all those shoes you mentioned and i had zero influenced from the DMV....is not like we had the internet, instant access to videos, blogs, sneaker forums....etc....please dont claim DMV taught NY about foams, thats mindblowing.
But we did Steezy.... DMV taught NY a lot about winter fashion too. Web wasn't around heavy back then(NY dudes couldnt even afford computers) so when NY rappers stopped by to break records in the DMV, they'd see street dudes here and how we was rocking the foams, and when they'd go home to 1 of the broughs, they'd share with their friends how urban people in the DMV was doing it and it catches on from there. Thats how its always been .Originally Posted by ksteezy
