Every week we take a look back to the past and pull out a shoe that has meant much to us whether it be a hot design, something comfortable, or the shoes that an athlete was wearing while accomplishing the unthinkable; but, this week we wanted to take time to pay tribute and homage to a legendary group that forever changed hip hop and sneakers.<\/p>\n<p>We could spend hours (if not days) talking about Run DMC&#8217;s contribution to hip hop, but I shutter to think how differently sneakers would be if it wasn&#8217;t for the trio.  One of the many amazing tracks on the 1986 record <em>Raising Hell<\/em> was one that told the story of the importance of sneakers &#8211; &#8220;My Adidas.&#8221;  Run DMC definitely wasn&#8217;t the first crew to rock shell-toes, throw in the fat laces, or wear them without strings, but their song &#8220;My Adidas&#8221; proclaimed to the world about the importance that sneakers played to many individuals.  In less than 3 minutes one could identify with the track that sneakers were not just something worn on your feet, but rather a part of you.  Wherever you went, whatever you did, your shoes were with you every step of the way.<\/p>\n<p>I recognize that Adidas sneakers may have never been your thing, but this track changed the way every person looked at their kicks whether they had stripes, swooshes or a silhouette of a young kid soaring through the air.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for what you gave us DMC, Rev Run, and Jam Master Jay.  We will never forget what you have given us.<\/p>\n<p>R.I.P.
