When did white people start rocking AF1 and timbs?

[Pyrexcup]

i remember growing up the ONLY people rocking timbs or AF1 were black people no exceptions but now a days white people are rocking them more than black people . Im not talking about wiggas either i've even seen white babies rocking them .

Just today i was in town checking a few things and saw plenty white people rocking af1 never saw these back when nelly dropped air force ones or even after the track was dropped. why/when did white people start rocking them

White people been wearing timbs. They actually hike and ish

yall gotta stop with these type of "observations" because it is drenched with ignorance...unless Nike and Timb was created by a black hiphop inventor from the hood, then it is safe to say that both companies had white folks wearing their product

1980s?

White people been wearing tombs. They actually hike and ish

no they haven't, there was a selected few people who used to wear them at my school when i was kid. One of the reasons my mother even bought them for me and my bros was because of the quality of them, they can literally last for years. They are pretty much the top choice for hipsters for winter shoes

more stereotyping and categorizing doesn't prove your point
The song was a hit, Nelly was a big deal, and hiphop has a large white audience for years

I kno wut OP is talkin about tho. AF1s reappeared on the scene like 2-3 yrs ago, hipsters and ppl into high fashion brought em back rly. Only the all white/black ones r back in the mainstream tho. And since theyve come back id say black ppl r back to wearin em more but rly everyone got em dis summer.
