I was obviously very happy to be there in front of the Gare de Lyon train station in Paris. If you get a few coins gifted to you from Uncle Sam on your tax returns I suggest you take a trip to London or Paris. C.S. and I made that jump only two years ago… Damn, it seems a lot longer now. By hook or crook I am getting my passport stamped again this summer.
Whenever I think of going overseas I think of rocking my adidas. Nike has all my U.S. maneuvers on smash, but as soon as I get to an international airport I have to fucks with the three stripe brand. I’m not saying that I won’t copp an exclusive pair of Nikes if I come across them, word to my UNDFTD Dunks, but you gotta understand that adidas runs the sneaker game everywhere other than the States and Japan.
adidas Originals has been hitting up my e-mail with some promo offers like free shipping and the what not. I don’t need free shipping since the adidas Originals store is on my downtown radar anyhoo. I just have to fall through and get at the bossman Dantana for my i.C. discount. Let’s see what they are working with that might be worth the trip…
The Decade Hi
I fucks with these for the gold accent and the gumsoles. However, I am changing the lacing to black though because gold laces make me look like I’m trying too hard to bring back kangols and dookie ropes.
The ZX Air Jamaica
adidas stays representing for the ‘yardboys and ‘yardgirls. Word to MAVIS BAILEY.
The ZX Stealth
See how the black laces just smooth out the leather upper? This is a nice little shoe to fuck around on some classy, casual shit. You gotta have a pair of kicks that you can wear with a blazer or sportjacket and look like you still mean business.
The ZX Safety Soles
Nike does this neon green on a lot of their running shoes and adidas does the safety orange. The ZX is a signature styleway platform from adidas that can go really high end depending on what leathers and materials they insert on the shoe.
The ZX 800
This is what I’m talking about. Premium leather and suede. adidas needs to keep making these joints. Not so much for the next pair…
The ZX Black History Month
I ain’t mad at adidas because they are trying to fuck around with that Nike clientele. Someone might copp these joints and think they were holding it down for Africa. They’d be wrong though.
The Rod Laver
Fuck these mesh Rod Lavers. adidas needs to bring back the all leather Lavers with the oxblood soles. I’ll copp two pairs of those joints. The all leather Lavers are one of the gemstones that adorn the Holy Grail of sneaker collecting.
inspired writing am. Truth is I haven’t worn a pair of Nike’s in two years. I stayrocking my adidas
Dallas : Get at me. I’m traveling again because the Big I gave me wanderlust. Costa Rica?
If you’re heading to the place where house prices are high, the beer is warm and the women are cold (no necrophelia), a.k.a the UK, check out the Size? sneaker stores: http://www.size-online.co.uk/ – lots of 3 stripe and swoosh goodness.
The ZX Stealths and Rod Lavers are some of my all time favorites. Nice drop, Dallas.
One.
twerkolator wears adidas only…bitches!!!!!
rod lavers, stan smiths, ilie nastases, grands prix, et cetera.
Evan,
I was seriously considering Aruba since they solved the mystery of that young lady’s merc’king.
I’m guessing you like the ZX series.. I copped a pair of Mammoth Boat’s and love them, it’s like a wally, but with the adidas sole. Also, because I’ve been a soccer player since birth, I’ve completely ignored Nike and never copped a pair Jordans.. oooOOoooOOooooooOo – Bon Vacances!!
“Someone might copp these joints and think they were holding it down for Africa. They’d be wrong though.”
LOL
The Decade Hi’s is all me. Copped an exclusive brown and gold lo-cut pair from Vinnie’s a coupla yrs ago, still my all-time favorite in the pack!
I just got me some Pro Models High on Ebay…….wooooooo ……. I have been lookin forever for some Stan Smith Hi’s and to no avial. Needless to Say I fux heavy with Adidas (no Killer Mike song about Pussy) ……… some Blu for the stans http://www.zshare.net/audio/705782354b32fd/

Those Decade Hi’s are runnin that bunch of kicks.
@ Dallas
got that Game Reb EP the other day, good lookin’ mayne, I ‘prehsate that shit. Felt good to bump an actual CD in the whip for once.
In relation to the last iC video about pissing…what did you think of the self-cleaning bathrooms on the streets of Paris, Dallas?
I remember when I was there, I was far too scared to even open the door and peek inside.
yo d stan’s And rod’s all day. youknowwwww.hail meg
idk dallas…Europe gets the exclusive Air Maxes…
Anyway, you hit Opium? The store of course…
I aint made a trip to the mother land in 2 years, but if I could, bet your ass I would be rockin them Lavers AND Safety souls…I’m jus sayin….
those safety souls have flu like symptoms…truly.
good thing christ died for my sins….
*laughs at own joke*
*no else does*
*drops mic walks off*
soles…the safety soles are endemic to avian flu.
The Decade Hi looks cool and the Rod laver is a classic (aka very hot and very grown and sexy). I am not too keen o the rest…
*Holds out mike in front of him*
*drops mike on floor defiantly*
Nice post. Never rocked adidas. I remember thinking the Ewing Adidas back in the day when I was a kid.
Seriously thinking of hopping across the Pond to pick up a certain pair of sneakers in London with my tax refund. But then, I remembered that I’m broker than Pumps and a Bump-era Hammer.
damn billy, you actually look kinda fly in that pic.(no homo, of course)
