Welcome! It's nice seeing such enthusiasm. I hope you are the type that sticks around.

I know I am going to raise some eye brows here but I never really understood the coolness of the Run DMC's...I mean yea they are nice, but what is so special other than the elastic band on the inside to wear without laces, and the little run dmc logo? I am probably all alone on this

When I was in Korea I saw some of the JMJ trainers, they are nice shoes. I hope you get them! Again, welcome!

Thanks Wazzucru, your reply really got me thinking - Not sure what others think but the whole run dmc/walk this way was massive on so many fronts - first hip hop act to cross over into the main stream and do it so cool!!!! It was also a great song and video and the start of a massive re ignition of the superstar brand. For me they just look right - do you know what i mean?? Anyway I got talking to someone today and told them about me thinking that they were the most iconic trainers ever and it started a very healthy debate......she argued that whilst they were cool they might not have been that iconic - she mentioned dunlop green flash (at which point I crumpled to floor laughing!!) but she put together such a good argument, it got me wondering!! I msy admit it was Nike (am i allowed to say that on here) Vandals that first got me into trainers and anything that His airness MJ wore was the ultimate!! What so folks think - the most iconic trainers ever???
