We all know Run DMC. But how many of you know about Jam Master Jay. Jay was Run DMC's DJ. Better known as Jason William Mizell, Jay passed away on October 30,2002 by a gunshot while he was in the studio. It has been 10 years and more that he has been deceased. Everyone may not be informed about the song A.D.I.D.A.S. that Run DMC made. There was once upon a time that they were the face of the Adidas Brand.

Now Adidas has revealed publicly that there will be a new edition to the original collection paying homage to the late great legend. The adidas is featured in the pro model that released earlier this year with jay branding on the tongue, box and heel. Sole-collector gives us a release date which will be Jam Master Jay’s Birthday on January 21, 2016.

I personally love Adidas. I think paying respects to a legend is highly admirable. Keeps history alive. It is really unique that they are paying the tribute on the tongue of the shoes. Being that the song A.D.I.D.A.S. made them the face of the brand for a while, what a better way to remember their friend who helped them get to the point that they are at today. I know that I will make sure that I buy a pair. What about you?
