And they were all kids still accept for Jerry, he's the only adult pic you posted. My point stands only kids wore Jordans back then and they kept wearing them into adulthood and now adults wear Jordan's too
I've seen some adults wearing Jordans in 91+.. Im born and raised in Chicago though.. Probably the reason why.
Never had a pair of gangsta Nikes....
That's what we used to call Cortez back in the day.

Back in the day, you either had drip or you didn’t. You didn’t have hypebeast culture and resale values to make you think a ridiculous looking fit looked fresh. Everybody think they fresh these days... but they really are just dripless hypebeasts like every other white suburban cornball who didn’t even own a pair of J’s in their whole ass life three years ago.
Nowadays, nikkas whip out their phone and check the resale value on your kicks on StockX before if they determine whether of not they think the whole fit is fresh. Never mind that some of the ugliest kicks have the highest resale value (i.e. 7-11 Dunks, Ben & Jerry Dunks). These days, nikkas coast off of having a big ass Gucci logo on their basic ass Champion quality hoodie and walking around thinking I have drip because I have “$1500” kicks on because that’s what hypebeasts pay for a shoe that costs $4 to make in China.
Back in the day, it was more about clothes that fit the relaxed D Boy lifestyle that didn’t require wearing a suit, dirty clothes or a uniform everyday. Windbreaker suits, 40 below super Timbs for the East Coast winter, New Balances for DC hustlers, Coogi sweaters, Versace silk shirts, Avirex and Pelle Pelle leathers that were actually worth the money because of the quality, fully custom luxe varsity jackets and custom hats in Cali.
A basic ass cotton hoodie that says Balenciaga or Chrome Hearts screenprinted on it and a pair of hyped ass ugly limited hypebeast collaboration Jordans can’t hold a candle to real 80’s and 90’s drip.
And not all styles from back then have been gentrified. There are pics of Jesus and them wearing all flavors of Reebok Pumps back then too. I remember Pumps actually being bigger than J’s at one point in the early 90’s.

Blaming the low level street dealers.nikkas and their love for these 80s/90s drug dealers that helped destroy black america
As opposed to the cac billion dollar pharmaceutical companies and billion dollar cartel connects, stupid ass. But you won’t say shyt about the JP Morgan cocaine suppliers and shipments.

That's what their still called today. You say gangster Nike's and people already know. At least where I'm from they do.
Yeah, boy was wrong, but I think he was referring to the 80s.
