And they are called trainers!!!
Only in UK mate 😭
5,26 that is Frank Bruno (HW boxer ) in the blue Boss polo, not Cass Pennant!!
Small mistake of the editor, thanks
Good video mate... 📹 👍🏻
Thanks mate
You paid by New Balance to make this video matey ?! 😂
Haha I wish 🤑
Incredible
Thnx
Get this Shit cheap Music off your Video, cuz we dont hear the Voice over... 😂...good Theme Topic btw..
Bro you skipped right over the purple box and went straight to the newest one the sail box/sand color. Cant forget the purple box man with the Neckface, Bart Simpson, Green Apple, Dodger dunks and others. Bro
Purple box isn't the era it's the sail box....Purple is just gr sail is all the actual quick strikes look on nikes actual website there's no purple box era it's same as the sail box era. Purple is just what they put non quick strikes in just gr releases
thanks for this feature. puma consumer here!
Our pleasure!
Excellent video as always ❤❤
Thanks man ❤️
Ponzi no doubt. He didn't know how much money he ought? this is a massive fraud
Definitely. I heard him bragging in a Dutch podcast about the impact on sneaker culture he had made with Restocks.
@@loapsneakers Definitely didn't impact HIS pocket
Great video. Love the history coverage. Just copped the chlorophylls today!
Thanks man! And good cop 💪🏼💪🏼
Asics all day long
Definitely
Frank Bruno the football hooligan?? 😮 Now I know what they mean, when they say only in America.✌️🇺🇲
Yes yes perfect
From my experience, ASICS just fits better.
Asics perfect for running
I been a Adidas sneaker favorite since the seventh Era love them sports wear
Damn, that Sandy Brodecker guy seems cool. He'd get along with the late legend responsible for putting Nike SB where it is now, Sandy Bodecker.
Sandy was a legend!
Adidas is always ahead of Nike in terms of quality, because Nike also has good shoes True, only a few types
Crazy in 2025 they will be re releasing the undefeated 4s and I can’t wait
Yeah me too but as a collector I do have some mixed feelings about it too. Same with the Wu Tang dunks, or the AM1 86 BRS Powerwall etc. Of course I'll cop but in some way it also brushes away the magic from the pairs in the past.
Case pennant then showed frank bruno 😂
unchangeable mistake from the editor 🤣or of course the whole team didnt notice. So stupid.
it is official Air Max 95 Neon will be Release on Air Max Day 2025
Those are welcome
@@loapsneakers I know.. I hope I can get a pair this time around...
I like Adidas better than Nike because Adidas has much better quality and comfort for a more affordable price. I can't buy a $60 pair of Adidas and they will look and perform like they are WAY more expensive than $60, but if I buy a $60 pair of Nikes, they are going to look and feel like I only paid $60 for them. Also, Nike's quality has declined so much in recent years that even if you buy a nice looking pair of Nikes that cost $200, there's a good chance that they will be uncomfortable, have quality control issues, and start wearing down quickly. I never have those problems when I buy Adidas shoes, where I buy a $60 pair of Adidas or a $160 pair of Adidas.
Yes Adidas currently has a way better price/quality! Nike not necessarily uncomfortable imo but Adidas definitely doing good
@@loapsneakers Nike is often uncomfortable to me because they run so slim. Part of the reason why Adidas feels so much more comfortable is because their default is not slim (most people's feet are not that slim).
I have wide feet. Nike is made for narrow & regular feet people. Adidas width is wider & comfortable
Most of the time thats correct. Depends a little bit on the model though
Bad history. All these makes were available in London for years. Don't know when it hit the north but probably years after Londoners were wearing the stuff.
🙏🏼
Drug dealers
Naw it ain’t start with basketball culture it started in the street
Agee but if you listen closely it is saying that, sneakers were made for sporting back then. Then its adopted by bboys and the streets. We just mention it in a nutshell to not stray away from the hiphop subject that we want to put emphasis on
Good video.
Thanks man!
These are all followers cant think for themselves frightened to be different 😊😊😊😂😂😂😂
Its probably a bit more
Back with swoosh on Nikes with Dennis rodman Travis Scott can't even give Janice rodman a prop for a shoe idea he stole and you missed a couple rappers that have shoes like action Bronson has New balance Nipsey Hussle with the pumas fat Joe with Nike Air Force ones which one with ghostface killah with Asics rapper trap United Asics Will Smith Jordan brand
Nah we didnt miss we just control the length of the video.
Why'd you show Frank Bruno 😂😂😂
Haha this is a stupid mistake from the editor that slipped through everybody falling over it 😭😭😂😂
I'm from Manchester and actually know/knew most of the original 70s Hooligans and I can attest to the fact that the Mancunian Hooligans actually picked up the trends by following the Scouse Grafters abroad and started goin out doing on their own 💯💯😉
Thanks man appreciate you sharing this! 💪🏼
@@loapsneakers Read the Book Grafters by Colin Blaney (RIP) he explains it all in there and he was an original Man U ICJ Crew wide awake firm and he was also on the Real football factory's with Eddie Beef (RIP) and the secrets of the shoplifters and Pickpockets and Britain's Toughest pubs and he's got his own channel on UA-cam and you can find quite a bit of him on UA-cam aswell Mate 😉
It's strange, but in the 90s my sportswear was always Nike, and after the 90s I completely switched to adidas. I also have to say that in the 90s I played basketball and Nike made a lot of great shoes for a lot of great players, not just Jordans. Maybe this was also what influenced me, the fact that now it seems like there are only Jordans. There are no more Penny Hardaway shoes, Barkley shoes, etc etc... And at the same time the quality and cool factor of adidas seems to have grown a lot.
Yes man its time for new silhouettes that impact sneaker culture!
WAIIIIIIIT, IS PUMA THE N#3
Nope they lost a huge part of the global market
Puma video is on the way btw
@@loapsneakers Awwwww it was fav fav brand after nike. :( Hope they regain their 3rd place
@@loapsneakers YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
They probably will some time, 3rd place switches a lot
Most horrible sneaker brand.
Openly hated but secretly loved by many
All Saints belts.. GY
Which sneakers appear on the 4:15? They look so clean and good
This are Adidas Ultraboosts triple black
@@loapsneakers thanks 🙏🏼
It's calling them.sneakers!!! Sorry can't even watch
Perfect! Remain this short-sighted. It will bring you much in life!
Drives you f!cking mad don’t it or calling it stoney 🙄
Adidas
Had a pair of ADIDAS ILLE NASTASE , GOT THEM GIVEN FROM A MATE AT SCHOOL, BRILLIANT TRAINERS, TOTALLY BRITISH THING.
Slazenger was never sought after.
Different culture
The jumpers and tank tops were along with Pringle & Lyle & Scott...
Australian??. Surely you meant roo's as in Kangaroo's?
No mate. Different. Australian was tennis gear by a company called L,Alpina. Their tracksuits were well expensive back in the day. So much so a shop called Hurley Sport in Manchester had one on display in a glass case
Ran out by the AJ1s now taking over AF1s crazy story
Haha definitely i love it too myself
The name of the Adidas shoe is the Trimm Trab and along with it's low profile partner the Trimm Star the designs was part of German Government sponsored health initiative.
Thanks for your contribution! 🙏🏼
Slazenger though? Frank Bruno?? Decent vid otherwise.
Thnx
Miss my Kappa ski jacket from school and me Benetton blue rugby top.
Why did you stop wearing them?
@@loapsneakersWho wears the same clothes for 30 years?
The inaccuracies in this video are laughable, you should’ve got someone from the culture in the U.K. to inform you on the history of it 😉
Thanks for this valuable piece of feedback!
I know what you’re saying. How he says some removed the compass patch from the arm to reveal a Velcro patch. They’ve no idea
give me a Proud Boys Fred Perry and I'll be set
Definitely
The question is: Asics vs New balance, who is the best running shoe brand? I let you debate
Ill be making a video about that!
@@loapsneakers cool!
Pls talk about Puma brand!
What do you want to see with Puma?
@@loapsneakers The story of the brand, for why their are so comfortable and the form-strip creation. Puma is my second fav wearing brand after, OBVIOUSLY, Nike. I hope that's this video will be a banger! Have a great day
Puma: Uhhhhh.... guess i will rest the eternal number 3. F*CK I GOT NO GOOD IDEA!! Also, personnaly i rather nike because i got very bad experience with adidas, nike in my op, have a better comfort. I can understand for why people like adidas, but i will still a nike nerd. I also like puma alot, hope you make a video on this brand.
Same im a swoosh guy but I hate the matter that they are not fulfilling the needs of the sneaker collectors
@@loapsneakers yeah :/
