Son, get all the way the fuck outta here please. Foams, SB's and J's BEEN poppin out here since the 90's, Wale the only verified sneaker nigga outta DC and if it wasn't for him y'all would be suspect.
always a DC nigga to bring up NY when the sneaker discussion pops off, y'all wanna be us so bad
Fam, that's a flat out LIE that every DC nigga I've come across in the sneaker game tries to perpetuate. You can't sell me that bullshit because I remember sitting on the edge of my bed calling around to every sneaker spot from the BX to Harlem looking for them only to be told they were sold out.

get the fuck outta here..every hot nike that been out ny nigs was on it heavy..air force 1's wasn't even the top kicks out here..hell i use to call them the reject kicks cause how easy they were to fuck up..any person that rock air force 1's wore those shits on some extra chill mode i'm not gonna run, walk long, wear in bad weather, that's the imma sit on a milk crate in front of my building on a cool summer nite and holla at random bitches shit..even than most nigs wasn't gonna rock them cause those was the extra cheap kicks..shits was like 50-60 bucks..i never wore them cheap ass summer kicks..any nig into fashion wasn't really throwing them shits on like that cause anybody can get them and nigs like exclusive shit not the anybody can cop shit
exactlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...only nigs rocking air force 1's was prob some pr cats who ate school lunch and was a dweeb
still ain't posted a damn thing....still posting those fake Yeezy's
I remember all white low air force 1's being hot for one summer when I was 15, so '98-'99, that fad ended as soon as we realized they were only good for 2 or 3 wears before the toe box was finished and it didn't matter how white they still were, they looked BEAT
that's about right....
when everyone was customizing them with the fake gucci, lv, mcm, prada fabrics

Air Jordan 1 Vachetta Tan, you can either buy them on eBay or a consigment shop.
Or hope Nike restocks them on their App.
some of this is true, but I think it depends on the borough. And DC is different from most areas because of the uniformity and how local they keep it. Like New Balance, foams were a staple.
Now white boys wear foams
This isn't true, Air Force Ones have always been a staple, especially all white ones. They're like Chuck Taylors or shell toes.
Joints are disposable, especially with how cheaply Nike started making them while raising the prices. So they would get ugly wrinkles with the cheap leather and only last a couple of wears before getting dirty.
like i said extra cheap summer kicks that u wasn't goin to do zero activity... u mite get like 5-600 bucks to get fly for the summer..u cop 450-540 in shirts/shorts..than u go oh snap i got 50 bucks left let me cop a pair of air force to match a few white shirts..sat on a whip or sat on a milk crate and hollered at bitches..u wore them shits maybe once a week for a summer..i never had a pair of them wack reject shits but a few of my boys cop juss for that reason alone..outside of that penny, jordan, foams, air max, etc
how u gonna tell a ny nig this isn't true..in the 90's at any summer event, any gathering, clubs, chill mode, u ain't never seen a bunch of nigs rock air force 1's in the 90's .. dress to impress and air force 1's ain't never go hand and hand..like i said real fashionable people wasn't gonna throw on them reject kicks at events cause they kno how easy they were to fuck up plus them shits represented extra cheap..u can't throw on a hot outfit than throw on them cheap kicks and say u killing it..u ain't never seen a nig throw on a vanson and than be like yeah imma kill them with the air force 1's or imma throw on a coogi and shut them down or an avirex or some iceberg..nah nig air force 1's would literally disrespect your whole outfit..them shits represented cheapness..them bullshits got a lil more burn in 2000's but 2000 is when fashion went to shitsome of this is true, but I think it depends on the borough. And DC is different from most areas because of the uniformity and how local they keep it. Like New Balance, foams were a staple.

So dress to impress equals Jordan's and Air Max in the 90's?
You're pushing what you don't like on to what people actually wear. You can look at videos in the 90's.
so ur saying a video compared to day to day living for decades is better proof??? like i said i wasn't a homebody i ran in the streets all day and nite u wasn't seeing people rock air force 1's heavy in manhattan, bx, etc..in facyt imma hit u with a 96 moment.. everybody and their moms had a pair of gray nautica sweat pants to go with their dan o brians.. that was nigs and broads.. you wasn't shit if u didn't have a few pair of gray nauticas in like 96..now watch how many ny cats from this board gonna remember that segment... ain't no 90 segment when air force 1's had that kinda segment ever..like i said u ain't never said imma kill them with a pair of air force 1's ever in the 90's... here go another 90's moment u weren't shit if u didn't have several pair of olafs bball shorts from harlem
I hear everything you're saying, I just don't agree with it my brotha. I've had this discussion with more DC cats than you can imagine, so much so that'd I'd bet MONEY one of them has to be related to you through the six degrees of separation. I'm not making the claim we were the only cats wearing them, I just know for a fact we were wearing them

Everything above is pure D bullshit and not in line with facts. First and foremost, no born and bred DC native has EVER wanted to emulate NY or NY culture. In fact, you were considered bama niggas of the highest order. Secondly sneaker culture was HIGHLY influenced by DC and even nike will tell you the DC area was ground zero for popularity and sales of posites, foams and flights. Not even disputable.Son, get all the way the fuck outta here please. Foams, SB's and J's BEEN poppin out here since the 90's, Wale the only verified sneaker nigga outta DC and if it wasn't for him y'all would be suspect.
So I shouldn't take videos or Fab and Jay-Z wearing Uptowns, I should take your word?
Instead of Clark Kent and Mayor, I should take your word?
I shouldn't take what i know, I should take your word?
GTFOH
Who thinks they're doing it and impressing people in sneakers and sweats in the first place?
If I want to know about hoes and strippers I'll come to you, sneakers, muthafucka please.
72-10s, Huaraches, AF1s
This guy just said NY cats were considered "bama niggas" Fam, go to sleep, you're drunk. Nike wasn't running out to DC to drop kicks, it was (and still is) NYC. You niggas didn't even get shown love on ANY of the Jordan X city packs, EVER, yet Nike knows and fucks with y'all.... Son shut all the way the fuck up
He's right, bama in DC is pretty much everyone not from DC, and that includes MD and Va
