He’s kicking it old school with his Adidas.
An example of post-retro revivalism? Is he uber-retro?
A Run-DMC fanatic?
“”we travel on gravel, dirt road or street
I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat

they’re black and white, white with black stripe”” – (full lyrics below)

Even though he . . .
1) … knows the name of zero Run DMC tunes (well, OK, he can recite an occasional tricky-tricky verse & refrain during superbly inspired moments),
2) … hasn’t bought a new pair of kicks in 20 years, with foresight he purchased thirty pair in 1981 and froze them in dry ice units at the Adidas Replacement of Archaic Inventory Storage Facility,
. . . this kid is somehow above messing with.

My Adidas, Run-D.M.C.
My Adidas
walk through concert doors
and roam all over coliseum floors
I stepped on stage, at Live Aid
All the people gave and the poor got paid
And out of speakers I did speak
I wear my sneakers but I’m not a sneak
My Adidas took the stand of a foreign land
with mic in hand I cold took command
my Adidas and me close as can be
we make a good team my Adidas and me
we get around together, rhyme forever
and we won’t be mad when worn and weathered
My Adidas..
My Adidas..
My Adidas
standin on 2 Fifth St.
funky fresh and yes cold on my feet
with no shoe string in em, I did not win em
I bought em off the Ave with the black lee denim
I like to sport em that’s why I bought em
a sucker tried to steal em so I caught em and I thwart em
and I walk down the street and I bop to the beat
with Lee on my legs and adidas on my feet
and now I just standin here shooting the gip
me and D and my Adidas standing on 2 Fifth
My Adidas..
My Adidas..
Now
me and my Adidas do the illest things
we like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings
we slay all suckers who perpetrate
and lay down law from state to state
we travel on gravel, dirt road or street
I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat
on stage front page every show I go
it’s Adidas on my feet high top or low
My Adidas..
My Adidas..
Now the Adidas I possess for one man is rare
myself homeboy got 50 pair
got blue and black cause I like to chill
and yellow and green when it’s time to get ill
got a pair that I wear when I’m playin ball
with the heal inside make me 10 foot tall
my Adidas only bring good news
and they are not used as selling shoes
they’re black and white, white with black stripe
the ones I like to wear when I rock the mic
on the strength of our famous university
we took the beat from the street and put it on TV
my Adidas are seen on the movie screen
Hollywood knows we’re good if you know what I mean
we started in the alley, now we chill in Cali
and I won’t trade em in for no beat up ballys
My Adidas..
