Remembering adidas’ Biggest Hip Hop Collaboration Before Kanye West

A little history lesson for all the hypebeats: adidas was doing relevant collabs with hip-hop artists long before Kanye West came around. Of course, it all starts with Run DMC in the 1980’s, but more recently it was Big Sean who had the coveted sneakers with the Three Stripes on them. Go back to the year 2012 for the “Detroit Player” adidas Forum 84 low minimalist icons sneakers by Big Sean, which featured a deluxe red snakeskin upper with darker red suede detailing, and gold accoutrements throughout the upper—including the pyramids on the laces. Limited to only 380 pairs at retail, Big Sean’s Pro Models were a hot item then, and even harder to find now. Take a minute to remember the “Detroit Player” Pro Models, and if you still need a pair, find them on eBay.
