Down With the Kings - Queens legends Run-D.M.C. were the ultimate power trio, founded in 1981 by Reverend Run, D.M.C., and the late Jam Master Jay. Naturally, their party rocking vibes made all of our lives better, but let us not forget their constant walking Adidas endorsement. You know you rocked those three stripes because of the masters of the rock box. Admit it. Surprisingly, rapper DMC has some other feet favorites to share.
2 / 6
Pro-Keds 69er Uptowners - It feels strange to know that a classic Queens representative would choose PRO-Keds Uptowners, but if they're good enough on the go for DMC, then we should all be checking for a vintage pair.
3 / 6
Adidas Pro Model - That Three Stripe Life remains in tact for the shoe god, but Adidas was all "let me upgrade you," and now DMC has entered the pro era with... *horns blowing* the Adidas Pro Model.
4 / 6
Adidas Superstars - Did you really think this signature model wouldn't enter DMC's list? Kicks fiends and rap-heads alike will recall the ultimate hip hop sneakerhead moment, when DMC held up his shoe at Madison Square Garden and sparked a movement. If you weren't teary eyed, then you have no soul.
5 / 6
Puma Clyde - Suede - Well, this is controversial. The Puma Clyde?! Hey, fresh is fresh, right? And even though DMC hopped across enemy lines with this selection, it's more for the love of hip hop fashion and not the sneaker war. Right? RIGHT?
6 / 6
PRO-Keds - More PRO-Keds? DMC likes them so much, he named them twice. These sound like a must-have now, especially with the newer version looking like Chuck Taylors from outer space.
