Hip-hop culture appeared during the late 1970s in the Bronx in New York. It rapidly developed and got more and more fans year after year. Today we will talk not about its investment into the music industry, but into the world of fashion. ‘Till the hip-hop era fashion was defined as posh and kind of aristocratic. Hip-hop shifted these issues aside and brought streetwear, rebellious spirit and an access to fashion for all people.

Run-D.M.C.

Hip-hop group Run-D.M.C. appeared on the American stage in the 1980s. They decided that during the concerts they will wear no artist costumes, but the clothes form the everyday life, as for shoe rappers chose the Adidas shell shoes. Because of the popularity of the group sales of Adidas were increased immediately. Before Run-D.M.C. started their American tour, Adidas signed a contract with them for the shoe promotion.
