I'm a huge sneakerhead, and I refuse to wear the Nike Cortez...nothing but Onitsuka for me! Same goes with Converse. Everyone and their mother has Chuck's...one of the best selling shoes of all time...but give me a clean pair of Purcell's anyday! Heck, I still rock Troops!
@WontonBons
@WontonBons 4 года назад
If you read the autobiography of Phil Knight, you'd know he and Bill Bowerman designed the Cortez under the tiger brand. They own the design. Not to mention onitsuka tried to cut Phil off after expanding the tiger shoe business in the states.

Good job on showing and telling the historical impact of the Berlin Wall. What I would have loved to see and hear is the history behind Adolf Dassler (adidas) and Rudolf Dassler (Puma) and the reason why the brothers split and became competitors. Another interesting aspect is the fact that cable TV gave people in West Germany a front-row seat to American culture through shows like Yo! MTV Raps. The impact that Hip Hop has had on people all over the world can’t be denied!

Honestly as an old dude I got to give total respect to the German guys who worried about how their shoes look during a soccer fight after a game man. Total respect to that and that's honestly the coolest thing I've seen in a long time in regards to sneaker culture cuz it's real. It's like I'm going to beat the snot out of your ass for soccer or football or whatever they call it but my kicks are going to look good while I'm doing it. 😎. "it was an excellent shoe to fight in.". That's the most real line I've ever heard in a sneaker video. Nowadays you going to have people in their Jordans or Yeezys and stuff going to hold up hold up let me change my shoes then we going to scrap. And yes I was a teenager when Yo MTV Raps! was live.

I can definitely identify with the East Berlin taste in athletic silhouettes. I think it’s from coming up in the hardcore scene here in Brisbane. Punks like to pretend we’re above fashion/trends but the sneaker culture in hardcore music is undeniable IMO. I’d love to see it represented a little more tbh.

great Video, but they got one thing wrong Adidas sneakers were a status symbol in east Germany too. If a person had family in west Germany they could send things to east Germany, that you couldn't get in east Germany. Thats why some people had Adidas sneakers even in east Germany. Of course were Adidas sneaker in east Germany the coolest shoes you could get.
