100% accurate: the relevance of TNs in France is maybe the reason why TN are big in Italy too. Squalos (that's the TNs nickname here in Italy) were sported by the first generations of north African drugs dealers by the end of the 90's as heavily influenced by French rappers.

That Slick Rick line referred to the Bally Classic shoe. Not the sneaker. Look at his red ones he’s wearing on his Great adventures of Slick Rick album cover. No one wore green socks with sneakers like they do today but we matched our socks with the Bally shoes because they came in a lot of colors. Sneakers weren’t the only thing we wore in the 80’s and 90’s in NY. Look at that pic around 5:40. We wore linen and silk dress shit with Ballys & Wallabees compared to DC. Ny did not wear track suits. We wore Lees jean jacket and pants. Something Run DMC emulated from them boys in the streets.

However I will say you missed one of the most significant shoes for hustlers ever - Jordan 3. 1988 was the height of the era and the Jordan3 was thee must have for status seekers.

Yo they even remembered during the peak of the crack era, like ‘87-‘90, Air Js flooded the streets. EVERYBODY was making money during them years! And then in ‘91 heroin took over and cocaine made a comeback. A lot of people were still earning, but the late 80s very early 90s ANYBODY WHO WAS ANYBODY was getting money. I love them stories man. What a time to be alive for real.

In the 80s everybody in the hood was into sneakers. We didn't consider ourselves to be "sneakerheads." It was just our culture. Everybody wore fly shoes because that was the culture. The only shoes that were strictly drug dealer shoes were the Gucci sneakers and Super-Tims. Most of the other shoes were a little expensive but still affordable if you or your parents had money. Drug dealer stuff was anything that cost more than $200 or $300. $300 in 1986 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $786.96 today. So drug dealer stuff was: Anything Gucci, Super-Tims, Triple Fat Goose Coats, Serac Coats, Eddie Bauer Coats, EK Glasses, Sergio Tacchini Tracksuits...etc. Drug Dealers wore the super expensive stuff. It's not accurate to say that everyone in the hood modeled their style after drug dealers. Drug dealers are just dudes that grew up in the same hood we did, going to the same schools. They weren't always the trendsetters.

Thank you for pointing that out. I’m definitely going based off lore and things I read online. I also asked a bunch of homies who lived through that era in Harlem and the Bronx. Obviously drug dealers weren’t heavily photographed and I felt like Jamal’s photos really captured that era so I used them. My bad if it offended you in anyway! Much love -Bryan

WRONG. People imitated the drug dealers, not the other way around. Hiphop / black / inner city culture has always started with the dope boys or pimps and trickled down the the everyday school kid. Not the reverse like you are implying. The fact that these figures are glorified in this culture is a whole other topic.

I didn’t realise my collection was so bad but good at the same time. The TN here in Australia really is the pinnacle of up to no good shoe. For the price you just about have to rob someone to get a pair or just rob someone of there shoes. There is an article Australia’s most F$&koff shoe. And it goes into great detail around the stigma of the shoe.

Great indepth content, wasn't expecting a history of drug dealer's sneakers to go back a century. On the subject of hood foot ware, I was wondering about the current trend of work boots from the Tim's, choice brand in that show The Wire, to Nike boots that I'm seeing more of. There's always a popular trend, boots being the current one, and that filters down to the hood and how the outlaw faction chooses their own version of it.

At my peak (2016) I definitely favored the Cortez or air maxs. I always stayed with some addidas in the closet too. Great video. My dude and I used to have this discussion at work from time to time. Other than the fact that I would have added some Jordans, I'd say you have a pretty solid list.

In the early 80s , in Philly and Detroit, the adidas Top Ten were almost strict domain of dope boys and stick-up kids . I have to correct the video's assertion that the NB 990 was the first $100 sneakers, because the Top Ten in 1980 was that . You would rarely see your average nerd kid wearing them even if his family had the means . My own older brother who sold drugs and bought me things was adamant about not buying them for me because he knew I would have been tested. Also, wearing Top Ten Adidas then were indicating to the neighborhood that you were nice with your fists .

What about post-early and mid 1990s? I feel like street wear took over the early/mid 2000s. Saw a lot of Jordan brand, Dunks, Bapesta, Ice Cream, Supra, AF1s, and Air Max 95s. 2010s were so varied. High fashion crept back in. YEEZY was launched. SB Dunks took a nose dive then found relevance by the end of the decade. No one stands on the corner unless they’re pushing low quantities. The dudes at the top have always rocked expensive leathers for their boots/dress shoes. Real bold skins or high end full grain leather, at minimum. I’m 28 years old, and god damn are fashion trends so heavy on ‘90s styles again. I don’t think there’s many rave kids still selling ecstasy and acid in D3s or some puffy DC or éS throwback skate shoe.
