Their use of heavy metal guitars in the songs hadnt been done before to my knowledge either?
Also the first rap act ever to get airplay on MTV?
I dont think that their input to Superstars can be denied either? They werent the first to wear them but they were the biggest stars of the time to be wearing them, endorsing them and rapping about them. So important that Adidas introduced the Ultrastar in 1988 to pay homage to them and thank them for their fantastic PR work.
Now im not saying that you have to like Run Dmc, im not a great fan of their later work if im honest but they sure have played a major role in the Superstars destiny in my opinion!
Had to get that off my chest! Sorry!
Good points there mate, I'd have to say Run DMC are one of the finest hip hop acts ever, saw em in 2000 and it was bloody amazing!
Wishing it was like the old days again

They were the first non-athletic, group or individual to ever be sponsored by a shoe company. Points to them, and Adidas for that historical mark!
J5 or beasties would be awesome! Outcast would be really cool also. They were all about shells and Adidas track suites on all their first videos.
