Both things can be true. We probably don't get half the retroes we do now without the increased popularity.

Dudes is getting MAD weird in this thread now
Just a discussion, there is not stock to find... eBay or the reseller sites (GOAT, Flight Club, StockX, etc) is your best bet.
Rather discuss the culture than EP quality talk and mixing and matching pairs.

Do we have a “Sneaker Thread About Nothing?”

Just like most other things, the hood made it popular. The hood made it cool. Who do all the suburban kids try to emulate? We set the trends. Nothing racist, it just is, what it is.Michael Jordan was the most popular athlete and one of the biggest global superstars in the 90s, to say any of his apparel was just a “black thing” is about the dumbest thing ever

Easy, we always wore sneakers as a fashion statement or accessory to compliment our outfits. We never looked at them as just "tennis shoes." Even down to the way we laced them. Even before Jordan, think what rundmc did with/for shellhead Adidas. You really acting like you don't know what he meant?
Anyway, I've already foolishly contributed to the derailment of the thread so I'ma stop here.

I asked him to expound and you’re jumping the gun assuming I don’t know wassup. Relax.
I felt he should’ve explained it, that’s all.

That's true with a lot of things but not this one. Little Timmy in the burbs didn't know what was popping in the hood in 1988 but he knew MJ jumped from the FT line and he knew Nike commercials.Just like most other things, the hood made it popular. The hood made it cool. Who do all the suburban kids try to emulate? We set the trends. Nothing racist, it just is, what it is.

Oh, okay. My bad thought he was talking about popularity. Of course. All cultures were into sneakers just like all cultures were into hip hop. Black people definitely lead the charge in some cases but all peoples were in the fight. We all in this.

Social Media, marketing, and profitability have made sneakers blow up to what they are today.
The only ones mad about it and gatekeeping are the ones who can’t cop a shoe they want because they in fact might be washed *shrug*

Dude explains everything else, but I guess all it takes now is for another man to speak for you and you go and “like”it.
I digress.

this is a great IG page that I stumbled upon that shows that Jordans were a multicultural PHENOMENON that was shared amongst several races and ethnicities

Ok, my last point.... I don't THINK anyone saying white, Asian, suburbanites, etc. weren't wearing jordans. Obviously, that's not true. They are CORRECTLY saying who created sneaker CULTURE! There's a big difference. Again, we NEVER looked at them as just "tennis shoes," good or bad. Ok, I'm officially done.
Back to EP and factory talk.
