Def before Dishonor...

Def Jam was the first hip-hop label to take a cue from hard rock and heavy metal by creating merch for their artists and label. There were no t-shirts for the early artists but audiences for Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and Def Jam expanded when Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian proudly wore them during photo shoots and on stage. I snagged it for my personal stash because its a classic and it fits like a glove, No O.J.

You wake up late for school, man you don't wanna go...

Classic RUN DMC photo shot by Lynn Goldsmith in NY, 1987. DMC had on the Beastie Boys "Fight For Your Right to Party" tee underneath his Giants Starter jacket. This is one of my all time favorite rap tees but I havent been able to find one that fits since I sold AM a deadstock XL years back.

Walk This Way...

Somebody Gonna Get Pregnant...

Our store manequin is a pretty influential dude and if you dont believe me check the pics above! Last month Big Red was channeling his inner RUN DMC and decided to throw on a killer Adidas outfit to break a couple necks. A week later funnyman Tracy Morgan rolled through the store and copped the whole outfit right off his back, which left him standing there naked with no place to go!! Fast Forward a month and last night was the Cop Out premiere (in theatres Friday) in NY and TM was killin the red carpet in the full Adidias suit with the RUN DMC sweatshirt and shell toes to match! I dont think anyone could've pulled off the fit better than Domincian Lou so with that being said big shout out to Tracy and make sure you go see the movie this weekend or else he'll get your girl pregnant!!!!!!

Bull doggin hoes like them Georgetown Hoyas...

DMC rockin a vintage Georgetown Starter jacket while flying in style on their own RUN DMC helicopter?!?!?! Look how young Lyor looks in that pic....he looks like Mike D's brother from another mother! We have two (both sz Lrg new w/tags) in stock but they wont last long so hit me up if you're interested. RIP JMJ

Words of Wisdom..

What used to be fly, will be fly again......AMEN!

Rev Run rockin a vintage BMW crewneck. We have the red version in stock if you wanna "Walk This Way" to the store but be careful because "It's Tricky" to find and make sure you bring "Mary Mary" with you because she knows "It's Like That"! I would wait till after "Christmas In Hollis" at "Run's House" because you'll have more money to spend!! In these "Hard Times" we priced the sweatshirt affordable for everyone, even the "King of Rock"!! When you wear it to the club the peeps will say "You Be Illin'" but if you see "Peter Piper" rocking the same crewneck just say hey "Can You Rock It Like This"?

As Seen On...

Rev Run rocking a vintage Adidas Ewing sweatshirt on a 1986 My Adidas tour poster. We have a sz Lrg in stock at the store for anyone who wants to get down with the king!! I wonder if Patrick Ewing saved any of his Adidas gear as like a momento??

Poster Boys...

Vintage 1986 Run Dmc Raisng Hell poster. Raising Hell is the third album by hip-hop group Run–D.M.C. The breakthrough album achieving triple-platinum status and featured classics like Walk This Way, You Be Illin' It's Tricky and My Adidas!

So Rare, It's Unfair...

Last week I posted a super rare Run Dmc Adidas sample sweatshirt and here's another one for your viewing pleasure. Same deal as the last one, samples given to Adidas accounts back in the day. Probably only a couple left in existence if any and we have 1 in deadstock condition, sz Medium. The front logo is amazing and the side print is so dope with the jungle theme and the tiger eyes throughout. Again if you're the type of person looking for an amazing vintage piece that nobody else in the world will have than this sweatshirt is right up your alley! Rev Run needs to swing by the store and peep all the rare Run Dmc gear we have in stock!! RIP JMJ

Fly Boys...

The sweatshirt above is rarer than a $3 bill!! Vintage Adidas "SAMPLE" Run Dmc sweatshirt, so rare Rev Run probably doesn't even know it exists! There's a difference between a rare sample that's uglier than sin and never went to production and a super dope sample that somehow got swept under the rug. This amazing crewneck is the latter of the two and did I mention that its reversible!!!!! Rumor is there were only a couple in existence and we had both (sold 1 already) so if you're the kinda person who likes stuff that NOBODY else will have than this might be the sweatshirt for you! One side is Grey & White with a bunch of sick logos on the front, back and sleeves. The reversible side is super simple with just the Fly Boys logo on the chest. If it was a sz Lrg it would be in my closet so consider yourself lucky :-)

Who's House...

...Run's House!

Tougher than Leather...

Finally!!!!! I've had this jacket a couple times in the past but never kept it for myself and always regret selling it. Today it found me once again like a long lost love and this time its mine, all mine!!! The vintage Adidas leather jacket is a staple in any wardrobe IMO and the Black on Black is so clean and low key that you can rock it with anything! We actually have the all Red version at the store (with the pants) brand new with tags if anyone is interested. Time to break out the shell toes..........

As Seen On...
