I grew up with Payless shoes (champions) white ones, we where poor but I kept them clean u member!!! then one day I found somebody’s old Nike’s they threw away and I cut out the Nike symbols and glued them to my champions damm I thought I was bad ass I wore those shoes like I stole them .
@RubenGuerrero My son used to complain when he was in school I only get Payless Shoes,Well today he has 3 sons of his own and I work for Payless he calls me faithfully for shoes, my grandsons all 7 of them get at least 3 prs a yr each.😊On behalf of Payless thank you for wearing Champions
We were middle class and always rocked the champions. I'm still in my minors but work around the neighborhood to afford my own collection of Nike, adidas, jordans,etc. I was still always proud of my champions tho! These days, champion is a hype brand and cool but the shoes are still eh. But I never hate on the champions!
That's the problem today. Too many kids are used to wearing Jordan's since their infant years, sadly they won't ever grow up understanding how to manage their money and use cheaper alternatives. They are taught that higher priced clothing options are all that matter, not knowing the true meaning of struggle.
I member when Payless had shoes for cheap but they were called ProWings & XJ900's. They wouldn't last me more than 2 months before they would be blown out and had to be replaced. I went to Payless a few years ago and now they're shoes cost almost as much as Footlocker.
Top 5 totally totally forgotten and discontinued shoes: 1. Buffalinos 2. Julianos (commonly worn by Tupac Shakur, and Fredro Starr in an old movie called "Strapped") 3. British Knights (commonly worn by Kriss Kross and Another Badd Creation) 4. LA Gear 5. Patrick Ewings
K-swiss is coming out with thier retro's and they got good reviews, better than I can say for most of the crap (Fila) I've been buying at Kohl's... 😕😕😕
what are the white shoes with the green and red stripes on the side? they’re in the thumbnail but never mentioned in the video. i’ve been looking for these for days. can someone please tell me the name of them?
LA Gear! Awe man that brings back memories. Those light ups were a must even in was 4 and no one had then when I got them That was my best sneaker memory
One day a friend of mine came to school wearing a full Troop training suite, all shiny black and golden and underneath he had some huge Troop shoes. He looked like a clown.
Troop! Troop! Troop! As a Buyer back then, I can attest how badass Troops were...it not weren't for a crooked ass BK ownership and executives,who knows...Troop may still be around...BK started all sorts of rumors about Troop...the one that killed them was probably the one that said supposedly when the solea of Troop shoes would wear out, there was a lovely phrase, "Thanks for buying our shoes, N-word!!! " Are you Fucking kidding me!!! I took back every return we had and not one show had that on it! The BK guys were Evil... Anyway...the whole idea of me replying is because I have a Troop jacket in pristine condition! Peace and Out!
I always wanted the pony with tongue hanging over the laces...what the blood hell was I thinking back then they were terrible 😂😂but so many kids was wearing them smh
I swear everybody in my 2nd grade class had Shaqs bro I’m in 11th grade now and I haven’t seen somebody Wear shaqs again in my life, accurate ass list lol
So EVERYONE had shaqs in your 2nd grade class in...2010ish? Find that hard to believe but if so WOW I was in 2nd in 01-02 and NOBODY had shaqs even though you’d think somebody did considering I lived in la and they were working on a 3peat
Wow this video brought back memories!! A few other forgotten brands “Elese” “Lottos” “British Knights” “diadora” “Mountain gear” I’m Old I know smh lol
Yes Pony!!! All day! No offense, but unfortunately this video is being done by a Caucasian.Its not racist by statement "Caucasian," but it is racial in terms of culture.African American set the trend in footwear for at least 4 decades or more.Even this video makes references to many black athletes who wore and were sponsored by many athletic footwear companies.Not only were they endorsed by these companies but these companies were influenced by what the culture in the streets were wearing primarily in the black community here in America. Predominantly and first in the urban community and then into the rural black community with the stamp of approval that it would be popular in the culture of Amerca to everyone and then all over the world.Not all trends were set via Black Americans but many many many were accepted and the streets and the world watched and continue to watch whats good in the hood in terms of fashion and style and how we stylin it.
The Source!! Maaann.. those were the era. No internet n social media. 90’s. Back here in Malaysia I have to ride my bike for 20km and take bus for another good 45mins just to get my monthly. My only source of hip hop news. And at times another mag called Rap Sheet.. those things are almost scarce. And yeah Lugz was dope. I have a pair of them. Btw Hes , is K Swiss still in the game? I saw Dre wearing em in one of his video. I’m 45 yo and I still find you dope man.. god bless
Pat Ewing's are making a comeback... Seems like anything from mid 80's -90's are getting popular with the younger generation... I seen a Pair of Reebok Pumps, just last week...
OMG, how did I forget about Ewings?!? A friend of mine got a pair of Ewings in middle school solely due to the fact that Air Jordans were the most popular shoe in the country, and he hated Michael Jordan.
Fila is hella hyped these days. A lot of brands from the 90s have made a comeback like Tommy Hilfiger, Guess Jeans, Calvin Klein, Polo Sport, and Champion.

Lol you really named the top most wanted and forgotten shoes when I was in 7th grade but you forgot Filas... Also not sneakers but really popular during the same time where Capezios, at least here in Miami...
Angel C hell yea! Capezios! Itallian sneakers. Been looking for a pair. Too Short had a line that went. Jumped out car in 9-0 I was wearing all white Capezios, had my 505's, and dookie rope, couldn't be saved by John The Pope
I actually bought a pair of Diadora sneakers a few weeks ago (shipped from Italy) and their Heritage line is amazing!!! Many of the brands you mentioned are still quite popular in Europe.
Le Coq Sportif (Fresh Prince endorsed their gear) Etonic Ellese Lotto Spot Bilt (which I believe is Saucony these days, but you don't see the Spot Bilt branding anymore. Xavier McDaniel had a fire pair when he was on the Sonics. Sorry kids. I'm going back.)
Ro'Shaun Goolsby nice bro! Any pics? I seen a red white and blue pair that looked pretty dope at rugged warehouse today. Ima go cop them tommorrow. Real OGs would respect the nostalgia of seeing the shoe. Lames would call them "off brand" lol? Like we all don't got dope nikes and Jordan's... but yeah a gold pair? I bet there dope! Glad some true sneekerheads know, and still rock these. Im born in 85 so I remember them as a kid. Good to know we remember these dope og bk kicks. FUCK hype beasts... rock what's fun. What you like. And keep nostalgia alive!!
Le Coq Sportif designed for them Da Rong Ba she wanted me to design for them in 1986 and Jamie Saddock denied me the position 1466 B'way. 1990 I was there via MMDC Group Design Consultant's designing. Arena swimwear too Peter Tannenbaum had just relocated to the East Coast from LA.
dont ya just love watching old leon lush vids and how his intro has nice kind music and hes all grateful abt having us here and then starts cussing like never before HAHAHAHHAHAHAH god i love my life
Raul Zavala the struggle man i was privilaged enough to get a pair of jordan every school year and i would run them to the ground and people would always tell me why the fuck i always wore the same shoes hahah today i have about 13 pairs and nobodys gives a fuck lol just be happy
Just Deadeye DC still rockin man they have a good few nice skate shoes. They still make those big clunky shoes that not so long ago were actually still popular. But I THINK (don't take this as scripture tho) that their more modern looking, light weight styled shoes are a little more popular. I gotta say personally there's a few pairs of DC's I'd wear but I think in my opinion, in terms of skate shoes, I'd say Etnies have kinda left DC behind to some extent.
I remember Lugz...I honestly felt like they were more comfortable than Timberlands. And actually Roos was connected with WCW (World Championship Wrestling) and not the WWF.
Starter is at Walmart. The rest are at even cheaper stores in low income community's. Dada. Phat farm gbx were trash that tried to capitalize on the explosion of hip hip into the main stream, introduced by people in the Hip Hop industry in the late nineties, early 2k's. I know that they sold at the mall for a minute, but we're never relevant
I LOVED my Lugs circa 2004. I also had a pair of shoes that has a SB on them, but I can't remember the brand name. Everlast is another brand from the 90s that was EVERYWHERE, then just dropped off the face of the earth.
cool video dude, thanks for sharing it. Do you guys remember there was a PF Flyers Sandlot edition? I was going to buy them but sold out fast. Who remember also Airwalk shoes? they were nice
Troops which LL Cool J use to wear late 80s about a year ago I was at SAN JOSE blue jeans and they had lots of left over Troop shoes that have been sitting there for 30 years
Russell Smith not in europe, their higher end stuff is made in germany and very well known and respected for their quality and awesome collabs by the sneaker enthusiasts in europe. It seems to me that america just knows nike, jb, adidas and fucking under armour, which is not even considered a real sneaker brand here in europe. You have awesome stuff like new balance and saucony which originated in your country, but guys dont seem to support your not so well known but awesome stuff at all, very sad.
I found a pair of keds at Burlington coat factory 4 yrs ago.. I wear them for old times day in NYC I've had so many people ask me where I got them.. Pf flyers are for when u just want to look casual
BK, Roos, LA gear, Travel Fox, Avia. Awe man those bring back some good memories when I was living in Trinidad and Tobago in the late 80's early 90's. Those were hot shit back then along with the Damage clothes.
I grew up with Payless shoes (champions) white ones, we where poor but I kept them clean u member!!! then one day I found somebody’s old Nike’s they threw away and I cut out the Nike symbols and glued them to my champions damm I thought I was bad ass I wore those shoes like I stole them .

Filas making a comeback tho
Fila came back. If this video came out 2 years ago, Fila would have been on the list. I see them everywhere now.

@They killed pookie Was alright not really a good sport line more casual and upscale for non-sport spectator.
I had those LA gears in the thumbnail and the birdman lugz. It was so easy to impress in the 90s.. Never once had a pair on Converse
Converse was not popular in the 90s. I knew one Hispanic dude that wore them. In the 2000s everyone was wearing them to the point it got annoying.

Phat farm gbx were trash that tried to capitalize on the explosion of hip hip into the main stream, introduced by people in the Hip Hop industry in the late nineties, early 2k's. I know that they sold at the mall for a minute, but we're never relevant

Troops which LL Cool J use to wear late 80s about a year ago I was at SAN JOSE blue jeans and they had lots of left over Troop shoes that have been sitting there for 30 years

Roos are sold in Payless nowadays here.
Russell Smith not in europe, their higher end stuff is made in germany and very well known and respected for their quality and awesome collabs by the sneaker enthusiasts in europe. It seems to me that america just knows nike, jb, adidas and fucking under armour, which is not even considered a real sneaker brand here in europe. You have awesome stuff like new balance and saucony which originated in your country, but guys dont seem to support your not so well known but awesome stuff at all, very sad.
Roos are dope...i wish the europe ones were easier to get in the us
Really? I need to go to check that out
ROOS are classic...I have 3 pairs...
Wasn’t that Lyoto Machida not Cain?
Rai Gresham - that was Machida on that ad. Cain did have a sponsorship by Lugz; I remember the logo on his banner before that stupid Reebok deal
Yup, that was the dragon...
Top 5 underrated Nike Air sneakers!

BK, Roos, LA gear, Travel Fox, Avia. Awe man those bring back some good memories when I was living in Trinidad and Tobago in the late 80's early 90's. Those were hot shit back then along with the Damage clothes.
