Kanye said him and Don C are responsible for the retro jordan movement...true/false?

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Made me honestly think...cause Ye WAS probably the biggest fashionable icon at the time and nikkas were DEFINITELY siphoning his influence on the jordans and nike style...

What ya'll think?

I remember when Kanye wore the A1's it made those the bread n butter of a lot of outfits

 

[Kalik]

When SB's was the shyt, and I was copping those. Kanye was beating his 3's and 6's to death. Then was when Hypebeast.com had Kanye in every fukkin celeb pic, in the what celeb wore today thread. Back around Amber Rose?

I dunno if he started the movement cuz I was copping retros before that in 06-07. But He def was a celeb that can be seen rockin retros more back then.

Now you have Hulk Hogan wearing em

Jordan did

 

[Kalik]

I think they (people like Kanye) were wearing OG's they was buying and tryna fix em.

Nobody I know buys OG with cracks and busted air bubbles and do sole swaps and shyt now.

Jordans was always popular, but Air Force 1s and SBs did shine for a minute

[TheIsleofMan]

Kanye must think he's from "The Bay"

 

[HookersandIceCream]

Ole I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can ass Muthafukka

 

[JamilALAmin]

nikkas had retros before Kanye was famous

Exactly. I think retros first starting coming back out in like '98 or '99. nikkas was on them instantly. No hype or boost by a rapper needed for that.

 

[Remote]

The old "I was wearing retros before it was cool to wear retros" argument.

Who knew Kanye was a delusional egomaniac AND a hipster?
