Nike is obviously more sporty than Adidas. I always associate Adidas with Beastie Boys and Run-DMC.
Nike is Nike. Adidas is Adidas. I've played in their circuits and stuff like that, but now it's a business. You don't want just product. You're not a kid anymore. You're really trying to get bank. That's about it.
When I was young, I wanted to be like the rappers. I remember being in junior high and wanting a fisherman hat and a link because EPMD had one. I wanted to wear Adidas because Run-DMC wore Adidas. As I came into my own, I just wanted to do me.
I always wear Nike trainers and love a hoodie. I have a big black and gold one from Adidas that I'm obsessed with.
I'd say I am more of a comfort person. I have Adidas sneakers that are my favorite thing on the planet. Adidas high tops with black jeans and a fur hat that I love wearing. I love vintage shopping.
EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world.
If you grew up in my generation, you're going to be influenced by Run DMC, the Beastie Boys and also listen to Metallica - it wasn't segregated anymore.
They can bite, but cannot be us, They can come and pick up little slang but cannot see us, You ought to be ashamed trying to fit in my adidas, So Run like DMC like you don't know you got no heater
My dad's European, so when I was a little kid, I couldn't wear things like Nike, so I grew up wearing Adidas.
I can't mix different sports brands together. I would never go to the gym wearing a Nike sweatshirt and Adidas shoes.
We got hookers with heaters that'll stray pop and put more shells in your top than Adidas.
I guess I'm the guy from the Beastie Boys. I'm one of the guys from the Beastie Boys. I guess that's what I'll always identify myself as.
My entryway into hip-hop was - my biggest introduction was obviously like, you know, the Def Jam, Run D.M.C., Beastie Boys, like, that conglomerate.
The Nike swash that cost $30 and was designed by a Portland State University art student was probably worth that when she first showed it to them. At that point it had no equity at all. None of the guys commissioning it particularly liked it, they all wanted the Adidas three stripes and they thought that was a good logo.
Adidas shelltoes, I always loved them.
I always played soccer in Adidas, but I always wore Nikes. I love street sportswear.
I'm a product of my surroundings. I grew up on Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash, Jerry Reed, and also Run-D.M.C., the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys, and Biz Markie.
