RUN-D.M.C. - "ADIDAS"

In 1986, Run-D.M.C., the Hip-Hop trio who was known for wearing the Adidas shoe “Superstar”, released a tribute song called “My Adidas” dedicated to the footwear.

Years later, Adidas signed an endorsement deal with the trio which became the first endorsement deal between Hip-Hop artists and a major corporation.
