The evolution of the sneaker pt 4

Alright bloggers we are back with the next installment in the evolution of the sneaker. We have been so very busy with work and other shoots that we just havent been able to post a new blog for all of you. Well I an making time for our followers. If you havent purchased the Details Men's Style Manual you better go get it. Fellas and yes you ladies that want to help their guys change there style alot or just a little, you all need to get this book, it is a great help.

1985: Nike signs Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal. That same year the first pair of Jordans are released, the beginning of a series that is still being issued.

1986: RUN DMC releases the album Raising Hell, which features the song "My Adidas" Darryl "DMC" McDaniels often wore his Adidas without laces and with the tongues flapping. This begins a symbiotic relationship between hip-hop music and footwear.

1991: Dee Brown bends down to pump up his Reebok Pump shoes before performing his winning "no-look" dunk during the NBA All Star Slam Dunk Contest.

People do you see just how much history has been influenced by footwear. Many of us may not realize how something so necessary as the shoes that we put on our feet can change the way we live our life, wear our clothes and listen to our music.
