Being from Baltimore, MD the real stories behind the success are sometimes never told. This is the TRUTH about the AF-1 being from WEST BALTIMORE this is the story we know especially if you're from Park Heights & Spaulding Ave. Nike was about to cancel the shoe until the owners of Cinderellas told them not to cancel because a guy in the neighborhood who worked for them at the time started painting the swoosh sign different colors in the back of the store which created a DEMAND and people from NY, PA, DE, DC and VA were driving to Baltimore to grab a pair. The shoe was SELLING OUT!! Those guys that owned CINDERELLA's went all the way to Nike HEADQUARTERS in OREGON to STOP Nike from cancelling the sneaker. I just hope that BROTHER from the neighborhood got a CHECK!
You must didn’t watch the video with the three different store owners The 3 Amigos, DTLR Charlie Rudo, and Cinderella had a meeting with Nike. If you’re truly from Baltimore you should already know that. I don’t know where you got that Bullshit Ass story from!!!
@@tee5502 I did watch it lol! I’m from that area. And I got the information from the store manager. Many people from here know the real story all to well.
Thank you for resurrecting it... I was born in the year 1999 and from the day I was born till this day, people still rock these like they just came out!!!!!!!
I like this video history 👍 facts you go to any boro in NYC ppl knew what uptowns were. That lil store in downtown fulton had a lot of heat and the shelfs. 14:46
Baltimore coined them Nike Airs, Airs or Air Force 1s. Charm City rebirth the AF1 with the Flavor waves that other didn't have, in addition to the original shoe. Not only Nikes, Bmore had Adidas Puma and other shoes in Flavors that no other city had..... Baltimore was the MEECA of shoes and flavors in 1980s that set trends.

AF’s are really a east coast style. West coast style was Chuck Taylor! Dre hopped on the bandwagon after Nelly who is from the Midwest just so you know B-more put the Airs on the map!!! Facts!!!
They have zero respect for basketball in Philadelphia. I play basketball and I went to Ph with some friends of mine, one of who plays professional, and we wanted to go to a public court, like the ones in this video. We got told off instantly! "white Frenchies(I'm not French) cannot play ball, start steppin' son". When we actually found a court that would let us play, we were pushed and shoved excessively away everytime we got near the basket. It's basketball Philly, not wreastling. Took several elbows to my chest that day. We were miles better, but instead of dividing us between two teams, so we could all have a good time, they decided to hurt us instead. The game ended 33-12 to them, according to their observing "ref", but I was counting shots and we won 30-21. 444 my arse!
It's true what they say about 'the good old days' ... (shit has changed dramaticly fr !) But do you get the message of the video ?... I don't think you're really feeling this..., not to hate or something, I'm from the seventies, this is just "nostalgic" for me... the first "nike air" ...
+Jose Pescador Not talking about the shoe, I'm talking about basketball. They claim to be this basketball city, but won't let people play based entirely on the colour of their skin. Now this wasn't racism, a word you Yanks are far too eager to use, because I think these men knew the hue of their skin didn't make them better, but I could also tell they desperately wanted to believe it did. Now I know that there's such a thing as "streetball" and that's fine, but then Philadelfia is a city of streetball, not basketball. If you turn down a challenge by someone for the sole reason of them being different, then you do not love basketball, and certainly don't respect it. No matter how fresh your Nike Air trainers look.
The ORANGE BOX ERA!!!
Always come back to watch this
Critical its all about boost now

You can't mention AF1 without saying BALTIMORE! The 3 Amigos taught Nike and the other big shoe companies how to market sneakers.
Another W for Black culture Fam, this was something I found out like 10 yrs ago.

For real tho.
What a GREAT DOCUMENTARY of the af1 classics!!!!
