OG classics




Today is tuesday, and each and every tuesday from now on is "Bring It Back Tuesday". This is a day where we take a look back at a pair of classic kickz in its OG form.




This weeks classics are the Troops "Ice Lamb" lows. A brand that was released in the early 80s. Troops became big on the scene retailing at $75. If you compare that to our modern day show price, then you can say it is equivalent to buying a pair of Spiz'ike. These classics had a hip-hop influence as they were worn by rappers such as LL Cool J and MC Hammer.


Reports from numerous sorces state that these classics are trying to make another comeback. Some sources even state that the Mid-West rapper Nelly, is the backing force in rejuvanating the comeback.

These are a few pics of the new releases. From just my opinion, I am not attracted to them at all. If Troop is going to make a come back, they should start with the OGs in retro form. Come back with styles such as the "Ice Lambs", "Regencys", and the "Cobras".
