Adidas x Bape x Miami Collab?

D RevLee said:
Nah I forgot the name too but I know what you're talking about. What about the Adidas T-Macs and Dada Spreewell shoes back win spinners were hot. I never owned the Dadas but I had a gang of the T-Macs. I would still wear those to this day if I found them tbh.

**** ya bro the T-macs were my schit. Thats what I balled in. My favorite ones were the 2s with the stripes on the toes and then the 3 with the stripes down the entire side of the shoe. That was my basketball sneaker. I never had the Dadas either lmao, but I wanted them. Even some rappers had the spinner rim chain and G-unit had the spinnning g-unit chain. Spinning anything was dope at that time. IDK if this was a NY thing only, but people used to get their tims and air forces spray painted up and then the guys that would have 2 pairs of the same shoe. Like a black air force on left foot and a white one on the other. Or a black pair of 4s on one foot and a red pair of 4s on the other lmao.

LOL...you left out the Ballys & Clarkes...Travel Fox if you didn't have it like that.

And this might be before your time, but we used to rock the M & M boots before Timbos.

We called Reebok Classics Gangsta Rees.

Doo doo brown ****ies.

Levi Dockers...my faviorites were the dark blue denims.

White tees...we called em' A-Rabs for whatever reason.

I don't remember Miami cats rockin' Buffalinos like that though.

You cant' forget the Vasquez boots and the Goretex. We called them gangsta rees up in NY 2. Filas too trying to look like the mob cats.

Buffalinos where the ugliest one. And since they where straight leather it sucked in the sun. I got them at flee market USA almost free with purchase of the Hush Puppies. I was probably like 13, they were everywhere then they weren't

Yeah they used to spray paint their all white forces here and when I went to DC to visit some family for the summer my cousins had some Timbs but they were rollovers. I thought they were dope af. I had the all white low top T-Mac 2's with the shell toe and then when the 3's came out I got the red and blue T-Mac all stars and used to do the same thing with them, wear the red shoe on my right foot and the blue on my left. Good times though for real. Brings back a lot of memories.

Ohh schit I forgot about the rollovers. Those were tough af. I liked the all white ones a lot. I had the white with the blue stripes for the 2s and the 3s I had the black ones with the blue stripes and then I also got the white ones with the blue stripes. I remember those blue and red all star edition ones. THose were dope 2. Yup you would be killing it in school with the 2 shoe combo lmao. Then they started ******* them up by putting in the piece of wood in the sole lol. Ya bro. Same here. It reminds me of middle school and HS lmao. Those were some fun *** times too.

@OriginalGatorHater @D RevLee , it's not that serious, I'm turning 27. Made in Dade, Born in the Ghetto Raised In the Hood. Doesn't make me cool I'm glad I made it out. Growing up Miami embraced all the new fashions but at its core this is what I noticed. "Shoes" Hush Puppies, Buffalinos, Timbaland, Reebok classic, Converse Chucks, jordans and Air Force 1s. "Pants" sweatpants, basketball shorts, marithe francois girbauds, ****ies, Levi's, TRU Realigon, G Star. "Shirts" Polos, tank tops, t shirts, guayabera's, V-neck white tees and black tees and my favorite no shirt( Usually a skinny guy tattooed up) if you're single and trying to get girls buy a gucci belt that shows.

I doubt they go crazy with the jerseys, I think its mainly about the cleats. But if they do make a camo design hopefully it's not too "Flashy". Just my 2 cents

Im gunna take it WAYY back to middle school. We used to have metal detectors at my school so we would be buy the combs with the long point in the back and stick them in the pencil sharpner when the teachers werent in the office. You guys do that at your school?

Yeah if u had the whites with the blue stripes (and blue shell toe I think?) that was the OG pair, the dopest one. Back when T-Mac was balling out for Orlando. Those shoes still go hard IDC what anyone says. One of the best basketball shoes Adidas ever made.

Exactly that was it bro. Yup. I would bust them out if I found my old pair. They probably don't fit me anymore though lol. I agree one of the freshest B-bball shoe by addidas. The T-mac Logo that looked like a chinese symbol was low key one of the toughest sneaker logos I have ever seen.

Heard of Goretex, never heard of Vasquez though...I remember Miami cats used to rock Hi-Tecs, which I'm assuming was a Goretex knockoff.

Now if they bring Travel Foxes back out, I'm gettin' all those $h!ts, every color!

Ohh schit lol. I forgot we were talking about Miami. That was a harlem thing. THe Vasques. Vasque were like the official boot of the shooters. They were tough like a timb, but fit like a sneaker and were light. If you saw someone with a laced up Vasque you knew shots were about to go off.

LMAO bruh when you know the place I am talking about based off a couple sets. Thats some real schit, but they moved into LES manhattan and schit now.

Thank God I never bought Dadaz of eastbay. But Fubu and Fila had a strong run
Click to expand...

LMAO bruh I forgot about eastbay. That was my schit too. IDK how they could sell the shoes for less than the sneaker stores did, but even with the shipping you saved money lol. Me too lol. I thought they were dope at the time, but looking back at pictures I couldn't see myself wearing them lol. Fila and Fubus were fresh though and Fubu was usually a lot cheaper than the competitors which was dope. Fubu sweatsuits were like half the price of the Sean John ones. Fubu even had like AF1 clones that you could get at marshals for like 20 bucks.

That was the dope thing about back then. You could pull up to a party in 75 dollar air force ones. 20 dollar fubu sweat pants and a 3 dollar wife beater you bought from the corner store. a Du rag and a couple sweatbands and pull just as much ***** as the dude wearing prada sneakers, Evisue jeans and a jordan hoodie.

That comb was a Musical instrument in my middle school. Everyone would grab a pen or comb and make the beat to rubberband man. I feel bad for our loyal die hard older fans looking for a scoop on the uniforms and pushing through but keep learning about the younger fans life until now
